I like the song and all, but these lyrics just sound like a car commercial to me.

I wish Enigma would push the limits or at least push another button on their synthesizer. While not quite a sucko-barfo, all their songs are starting to sound the same and are becoming tiresome!
have to agree. i'm hardly their worst critic, but really -- fifteen years after sadeness, i see no evolution...
Very 2000. I would say....January.

ummm, who claimed that anyone invented anything, zeb? i said that it was "lifted note for note", tough guy.
would be ok if it were an instrumental. but those lyrics are unbearably pretentious new age self help psychobabble...

Sitting in the dark with headphones cranked. Dreamy.
Better to love a toenail than scratch your ear with a feather! :daisy.gif:
Generally an acceptable, if not exciting song, it is particularly jarring after the Emmylou Harris. I can't do this song right now... :verysorry:
thanks for the reminder to pull out my enigma cds for the commutes to and from work. great song!

And we all know that Nine Inch Nails invented staccato rhythm.
