You have loved enough

Post by Anth »

My post probably will be viewed as sacriledge, however...
I really love most of "Ten New Song" and I'm almos crazy about "Boogie Street", "Love itself", "That Don't Make It Junk"...

But everytime when I'm listening to "You have loved enough" I'm getting angry! Does anybody notice - the line "And then the hunger for your touch..." makes the music and tone and mood going up and suddenly nothing happens, it falls short of any expectation :( There is no climax in this song, i.e. it is shifted to the lines "When hatredge in a package comes" but not in the refrain where it should be.

And also "A Thousand Kisses Deep" in terms of music falls short of lyrics, especially with this reminescence of true masterpiece - "Waiting for the Miracle"
