Interesting thing, this song Solitaire.
At first hear (which, for me, was off of the Horizon album; as, I had not heard the single version on the radio)
I thought the song too plodding, too long.
However, upon re-listening there are moments that tear me to shreds and are spine-tingling,chill -inducing:
Karen's lower register is prominent throughout, Drums and Strings are used with brilliance, the clash of the Cymbals
at various interludes, meaningful lyrics-- and finally, that vocal ending of Karen's "..he's playing Solitaire" followed by the piano and strings,again.
Quite a masterpiece on the part of this unique duo.
