I assume you mean 'Choose to Believe'? Excellent song. I totally missed it on the first (and even second) listen. The vocals really capture the essence of Detroit/urban-style poetry--deep and reflective with rhythmic phrasing. And what devastating words:
Even when she protects his good name Even while she brings him back to his life-time And love was all that she had To give It still wasn't ever enough Now That's the last act For me the music does a very nice job of accompanying and highlighting the vocals--without going too far off into AM's more noodly brand of keyboard driven smooth jazz. I find that I enjoy his music the most when he keeps things more minimal and understated--witness 'Shine on Me.' Scott -----Original Message----- From: Thomas D.
