I like this, but it does sound like a pigeon is cooing in the background

 While there is a backing violin on this track, the lead instrument is an Electronic Valve Instrument, aka an EVI, a custom-built breath and touch-controlled synthesizer controller.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EWI or www.venusians.com for more info on this little-known instrument.

I bought this CD based on this song, it's an amazing musical journey...but not for the tone-deaf or people raised on flavor of the month trash

I like the song except for the guy doing the sotto voce rap.

Wow, I'm enjoying this a lot more than I would expect for any technical reasons.

I wouldn't buy the disc based on this, but it's not that bad...so hypercritical around here sometimes

Quite likeable. Could use better lyrics, though.

I was just ready to rate this a 7, then that awful voice came on - dropped to a 2.

BABYYYY, WHAT A VOICE, WHAT A MELODY, WHAT NICE INSTRUMENTS !!!!!! Hummm... needless to say I'm ironic... RP, what's wrong? I did think you are perfect!!! Anyway, you are perfect for me 99.99% of the time.

Am I wrong or is this synthetic violin?

I was rating this an 8 until they started singing. It hopped down to a 6 very quickly. It would have gone lower than that, but it retains points for the instrumental section.

Yup, it is awful. Why not just play some Bootsauce and get it over with.

Same background singers as in Delerium?

... This is Sublime! ... ... Throw me a Line? ...

Good song with a very nice intro, but I think it would really benefit from the leads and vocals playing against a real drummer instead of the banal drum track they chose.
