Many tender moments in my life closely associate with the song "Affair on 8th Avenue", so I am told, especially the perfume...I truly find this song quite tender, quite soft and realistic and one of my all time favorites.
It reminds me that memories are sweet when lived well. Also, I'd like to add that, "Race Among the Ruins" adds light to many events in my life. "Lazy Morning" reminds me of those Saturday or Sunday mornings in the hot, hazy summers in Chicago where I get to sleep in and lay on the bed with my eyes staring up at the ceiling wondering "does she (he) still remember me." And the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" of my dearest Danny who lost friends on the ship, and who leaves me feeling like a wreck. Aah, the sweet pain of tenderness with an alcoholic. Finally, I'd like to add, "Cold on the Shoulder" for likely reasons. Danny, if only you could "read my mind" when you are "stone cold sober."
