This tune automatically puts me in a diferent mood for 5 minutes. It reminds me of many things and most often reminds me of my college days. The beautiful 12-string intro and the haphazard rhyming lines, along with the subtle piano and organ make for a solid recording. It fades in, does what it was meant to do, and fades away. How could you ask for more?

I am with you on the Pink Floyd. They have a very special talent for taking you wherever they want you to be for the duration of a song.

I can still listen to the "Animals" album on repeat for days without thinking of changing it.
