I am not ashamed to admit there are hot, stinging tears running down my face.
There is NO other songwriter on earth, save maybe Elton John, who can make me cry tears of sorrow and hope. It's unreal. I can't describe it.
The magnitude of this album is staggering me. It truly is as if he did indeed write it AFTER his brush with death...particularly "River of Light". It is a towering accomplishment, and if it were to have been his epitaph, it would be a fitting tribute.
