Iris

this line says it all..."you're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be..".....a beautiful and overtly romantic ballad by the Goo Goo Dolls for the amazing motion picture "City of Angels"....this one has won hearts over the world and then some.....the way the 6 strings are pulled over the entire song with lovely violin renderings over in the background really make it special.....the powerful bass string plucked in rhythm.....and needless to mention the lovely vocals.....every bit of them being entirely legendary.....based on the movie's theme...yet feeling totally balladic and enticing...the best i've ever come across....going along "dont want the world to see me, coz i dont think that they'd understand....".....a toast to the band featuring John Rzeznik (vocals, guitar), Robby Takac (vocals, bass guitar), and George Tutuska (drums, percussion).......kudos!!!

Yes, get back to life!!!

wow...what a track,this one...it comes form the all time super rock band Pink Floyd, from their album The Division Bell....i heard it from my brother who first heard it from his fav DJ at the local pub....its a lovely piece of vintage rock n roll ....starting off with a c minor chord followed later on by vocals and guitar solos....with electric guitar being free strung all along on a very blue lounge mood recording....amazing vocal renderings......the band featuring vocalist David Gilmour who dedicated this song to his wife Polly Samson, while the theme of the song kicks in seeing the rest of the band including Richard Wright (Synthesizerz and hammond organ), Nick Mason (drums), Guy Pratt (bass guitar) and John Carin (additional keyboards) join in to create a svelte and subdued yet untimely romantic track......the best bit being the vocals.."killing the past and coming back to life"......I'd definitely love to sing this one to my love.....
