My absolute favourite moment from HOSL is the lead into "Harry's House/Centerpiece." It gives me chills each time I hear it.
I visualize so much in those first few seconds of the song when the horn samples swell up and then down again, like a plane on a runway through the ripples of heatwaves. Later in the song I love Joni's vocal fade-in to "Centerpiece." This is as an example of the cinematic aspect of the record; her vocal fade-in mirrors a visual one...things go blurry and a dream sequence of memories begins as Harry drifts off in his big old Lay-Z-Boy: "The more I'm with you, pretty baby..." That song is the spine of the record. It encapsulates all of its themes in one glorious, brilliant track. -Andrew Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
