Kinda suaku... But it is recently when I know Corrinne May... Yepz heard of her "Fly Away" before, but it is only recently when I read of her latest CD's reviews that I took notice...
Love "Safe In A Crazy World"! Her voice is wonderful, and her songs bring out the other side of me. I dunno which other side, but they just strike a chord in my heart, or rather, several chords. The songs in this album is just like the CD title, giving me the feeling to escape from this world. They make me feel comfortable, as if I am in my own paradise.
Many times when we are listening to a new CD or song, the place we are in and the time plays a part too. Listening to a new sentimental album on a hot afternoon on a crowded, stuffy and noisy bus would not help us enjoy the album, and it may spoil our first impression of the album. And sometimes I do that because after buying a new CD, I'll want to rip it open asap and plug in my earphones. Also, our emotions will influence the ratings of the album too... And sometimes outside reviews, the CD paper quality, the number of freebies...
I guess the real songs are those that can bring one to one's dreams... Every song is a precious work of gem to the author, but sometimes, not everyone can appreciate the gem. Some may just prefer commercialized gold, some prefer plain crystals, others want only rare diamonds.
Sometimes, I wish I can have the gift of creating, moulding and refining gems...
