HAUNTING AND SPELLBOUNDING
===========================
There are few songs by not so known bands which speelbound you for the first time you listen to them in a bus , on a friend's I-Pod ( & he has no clue where it came from ) or at umpteen bizarre locations.
They keep you Haunting after you are done listening to it again & again , its not only the tone but the lyrics which casts its spell on you.
" & TAKE THESE BROKEN WINGS AND LEARN TO FLY AGAIN LEARN TO LIVE FREE "
There is a special think about the music in here , a distinct guitar sound in this track thanks to Steve Farris' innovation of the electric guitar, managing to extract a delay effect at an odd timing to create a contrast to the steadiness of the bass and beat.
A hissing introduction which would captivate your psyche for a while till it fades away.
The song was inspired by the book "Broken Wings" by the great Lebanese American poet / writer Khalil Gibran.
For the band Mr Mister this song will be the closest they came to world fame & pop charts across teh globe. (Number #1 on US charts / Number #4 on UK charts in quick sucession ).
