You Don't Slow Me Down

[socleirigh]

Now that I've owned and listened to the 'Gramophone' CD for a month now, I've realized how much I love this song...I mean, I love the whole album and Freewheel remains in the Top 3 along with 'Eastbourne' but damn if 'Slow me Down' isn't right there with them...what a beautiful song.

You are not wrong, my friend.
It's a song full of beautiful images - in the second verse he uses the phrase 'tremolo starlight' which amazes me every time i hear it.

Oh yeah.."tremelo starlight" is wonderful...as is that entire verse:
----------------
Everything's nothing to me
Tremelo starlight I see
Thoughts like cathedrals cold and dark
I just cling to you like I'm drunk
---------------
fierce powerful, as you folks might say
