Over Her Shoulder
Fingerprints
So Far So Good
Faithful Street
Easy For You

Aside from "Over Her Shoulder" the remaining four could easily slip through and be replaced by the majority of the album(s).

  Mr. Buechner's Dream favs

in no particular order....

Child on a Leash

Fingertips

Author of the Story("I held one hand in the fire
And lifted one hand towards the sky
But the busy world still turned
And the angels passed me by

Sometimes there seems to be
No author of the story
These thoughts occur to me
On this side of glory)...Upon my first listening, I immediately identified with these lyrics. I pumped my fist and wept.

Ordinary Extraordinary Day

Staggering Gods

My Beautiful Martyr

Joel(to be played in the event of my passing, among othe DA/Swirlie cuts)

Would anyone else put Meanwhile on their top 5?

I love the guitar on that song!

Meanwhile is a really good one - one of those that could easily be in the top 5... But I'll tell you something I've said on here many times. The first time I heard "Over Her Shoulder" was driving to work and smelling the smoke of the fallen twin towers just across the way.

"...and froze there in the fire that fell" was meant for Lot's wife but was proxy for a lot of folks on 9/11. The combination of imagery, music and a particular moment in history has just locked itself in for me.

What a great album! Only Dan Floor is better for me.

1. Author of the Story
2. Who's Who Here
3. Steal Away
4. Staggering Gods
5. Your Long Year

And: Ribbons and Bows, Ordinary Extraordinary Day, Pregnant Pause, Fingerprints, Mr. Buechner's Dream, Rice Paper Wings, Joel

I don't visit this site often--but just wanted to put my 2 cents in on this beautiful record. Been a DA fan since '84--Vox Humana and Doppleganger.
