Hmmm. For some reason I assumed that IM fans would be lyrics first kinda people...though the sound is what first draws you in. I consider myself a lyrics person, but maybe I'm actually a music person and the song is doubly grand if it has good music and good lyrics (or great lyrics). I'll have to think about this more...

There is a song that Dion did a long time ago and I always hated it because I felt that the music was rather sappy. It wasn't until I sat and actually listened to the lyrics one day that I gained a great appreciation and a great liking for this song - not to mention a deeper respect for Mr. DiMucci as an artist and poet. The name of the song, of course, is "Abraham, Martin & John" ...and The Innocence Mission themselves have been known to cover it in concerts past, if I'm not mistaken. And isn't it wonderful that in The Innocence Mission we are blessed with both insightful, thoughtful lyrics AND beautiful music...? For those who don't know of them, they don't know what they are missing. Just my two cents, Mike (a.k.a.
