Home For Angels It's comforting to hear Kristy maintain her idiosyncrasy for angels. This is a brooding number that bubbles and simmers slowly. Johnny's whale-call guitar is a real highlight that would make even Martin Tielli proud. 5. Run Away To my ear, Run Away begins almost as if it were trapped within a box until that first cymbal crash finally releases the song into daylight. Featuring good amounts of the vocal layering that Lauren mentioned earlier, voices skirt above, below, and through the body of the song. I enjoy the way the lyrics are delivered as if they were measured -- "you run, run, [pause] run." Jimmy Paxson really carries this tune with some busy drum work. Probably the best candidate for radio release with its hooky chorus. Fave lyric: "You have built this sunless world It's your design Not someone else's mind" 6. Hollywood To be honest, I didn't even recognize Hollywood until the word itself came up in the lyrics. To my ear, this is Hollywood On Benzos -- much slowed down from the earlier version. If this song were an emotion, it would be loneliness. Cello seems to have that power; don't know why more artists don't use it. Although I am glad more artists don't rhyme the word 'happy' with 'agape'. More to follow...
