I know this is a downer. This album meant so much to me AND it was there EXACTLY when I needed it!
A listen to MCIS can sweep me thru time to people, places & events. The songs vary in style/structure so completely you can’t force SP into a single category.
IN ‘95 My GF ended things, resulting in a lonely 90min trek home from NIU. In DeKalb, a train halted my progress just as snow flurries began. If I hadn’t been dumped, it would’ve been beautiful. “In the Arms of Sleep” started to play & I suddenly lost it. I repeated the song ALL the way home. I just felt it deeply! It was mainly the “mood” created by the song & partially the lyrics. Now, 25yrs on, it still carries me to that snowy night. With age I see it differently. I believe the song played EXACTLY when I needed it. It made me feel I wasn’t alone & was probably the beginning of healing!
thanks for writing it! I needed it!
