Finally a choice between superb Gord songs instead of the recent throwaways.

SFAWN has been beautifully covered by several artists, which is some indication of the strength of the song. It is hauntingly beautiful in its melody and lyrics.

Shadows is also haunting, but I've never really felt that GORD actually felt all the emotion underlying it. Some of the emotion, but not all. It doesn't mean that the song doesn't convey that emotion tho. It does.

SFAWN is an A++ and Shadows is an A+.

SFAWN by a wisp of snow.
