"Just Like Heaven" which actually got into mainstream Top 40 stations....kinda shocking...but I love the imagery in that song... "Daylight licked me into shape, I must have been asleep for days, And moving lips to breathe her name, I opened up my eyes. And found myself alone, alone, Alone above a raging sea, That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me." Incredible.....love lost. love mourned but also love cherished and love remembered.....all poetically, tragically, beautifully woven together to create images soft and blurred yet sharp and distinct (Quite the dialectical score....hehehe) Enough ramblings....
