Are there any Gord songs that you felt if you could change something about it it would make it a much better song?
In "East Of Midnight" after the lyrics "We'll be leavin early travlin at light" I'd eliminate the trumpet sound. It makes it sound a bit TOO much like the 80's.

(I'm not trying to be a pessimist or anything so don't get me wrong, but we all have songs that we think would sound much better (TO US) if we changed something about it.(Borderstone said he would make "Someone To Believe In" a slow song.) Sorry for speaking for you, just trying to give another example.
