This is one of Mark's songs that has some terrific harmonies. He seems to have a special feel for chord progressions which convey what the lyrics are saying. |

We've got someone else I heard doing the same thing. And from California as well! B) I'm not the guy here but I use to do the same thing here in Croatia. Was the Going in Tow Law right a while before I've visited the forum now. :P |

This does have a lovely feel about it, and I love The Shadows style guitar outro :rockon: |

There is something about this song that is kind of eerie, too. Raises the hair on the nape of the neck! :lol: |

Before I spotted and recognised the value of these songs I hadn't known that feeling or it just had not been happening to me so often though! B) |

Totally agree QJF, And I think that sound is maybe one of the reasons I have a special fondness for the albums "Shangri-La" and "Kill to Get Crimson". :) |
