"The Walking was cinematic in nature and multi-layered, both musically
and thematically. The follow-up album in 1989, Bound By The Beauty, was a conscious
attempt on Siberry's part to downplay the emphasis on the lyrical eccentricity,
complexity and perfectionism that distinguished her earlier work. Recorded in
a a relaxed studio set in the middle of an Ontario apple orchard the album contained
songs that seemed both spontaneous and bathed in primary colours. With titles
like "Everything Reminds Me Of My Dog", "Something About Trains",
"The Life Is The Red Wagon" and "Hockey", Bound By The Beauty
illustrated the wry humour and naive charm that had endeared Siberry to her
concert audience but had thus far remained untapped on her albums."
