'Woman in chains' is a brilliant beginning. Very soothing, it sets a pace which is ideal, and gets you thirsting for more.
'Look at your self/See all your life/your hands start shaking/and you dont know why' is a line from 'Badman's Song' which got my hands trembling, shaking all over. Oleta Adams is amazing and the piano is superb.
'Advice for the young at heart' sounds more commercial, but the theme meshes well and gives the album variety.
'Sowing the seeds of love' the title song has an energetic and racy feel, full of enthusiasm and light-hearted goodness.
Third world sentiments are discussed in 'Standing on the corner of the third world'. I was transported, endorphins flowing fast through my veins. Same story with 'Swords and Knives' with lyrics like - 'When life begins/ with needles and pins / it ends with swords and knives'. Very satisfying.
'Famous last words' ends the album on a tender note.
The music is top class, a mixture of everything. It truly deserves every one of the five stars I have granted it.
I was astonished to find out how good this group is. From the beginning to the end, it is a consistent collection of powerful, punchy ballads, colorful arrangements, and memorable lyrics. 'Advice for the Young at Heart' can still give me goosebumps and 'Famous Last Words' bring a tear to my eye. And I love the energy of 'Year of The Knife'. The songs are written with talent and insight and performed to a high standard.
The mark of a good recording is that one doesn't tire of it. This one seems almost as fresh as the day I bought it.
