I was playing this album tonight and for some reason I needed to hear it, it really touched me for some reason more than other times I've played it.
My interpretation may be wrong but I couldn't get over how some of these songs make me think of Karen, even though there is really only 1 song that is dedicated to Karen "When Time Was All We Had".....I really felt Karen in alot of other tracks. Maybe it's just the lyrics.
For instance:
Time-reminds me so much of Heather & other piano instrumentals only.
Calling Your Name Again-Richard sings: "I wake up in the dark, silence brings me to my senses I wonder where you are Then I feel a pain in my heart....I'm sure Richard has called for Karen & she's not there like she use to be...Then there is the lyric...Thinking of all that we two had before...I turn to see your picture then the tears begin to fall.....
(I guess I'm pulling the words out of context but this is just how I feel about the song)
I'm Still Not Over You- This is such a typical John Bettis Song....Opening with...."Just today I saw you smile & it took me back to yesterday"
"Father Time must be a friend of yours"
(I can't help but think of Karen) He is such a terrific writer & I miss him & Karen singing his words.
I fully understand that this was basically a solo album by Richard, but do other's of you think of Karen during some of the above songs? Not just the obvious When Time was All We Had.
