Song of the Week VII
She is Everything - Spock's Beard.
I downloaded a few songs by these guys, and none of them really amazed me, in fact, i didn't even like them at all, songs like Waste Away, Skin and All on a Sunday. But I persisted with them because they're such a big name and I still hadn't heard much of their stuff - what if there was a Spock's Beard gem waiting for me? Well, there was, and it's this song. I got the live version from Gluttons for Punishment; I think it's a bit longer than the usual, which is great, because I wouldn't want it to be any shorter. The intro is phenomenal, the guitar solo is perfect, the chorus is beautiful, and the chord progession is simple, yet wonderously effective. 5 stars. A warning, though - this is not party music. But if you like music which is not frivolous, which has a bit of thought behind it, then you have to hear this song.

I must admit although i downloaded it, I was apprehensive as ive downloaded some other stuff you've recommended but in the past have found some of them to be too heavy metal for my liking. but you're right, this song is beautiful. the guitar just seems to soar. i love the flute at the beginning and just all the different layers in general.
