That's all reflected in her music; when she's singing her songs of love, good and bad, she leaves plenty of wide open space for contemplation, and the songs live and breathe. My personal favourites are "Once Upon A…" and "Million Miles", but this isn't an album where one should be picking and choosing individual tracks. Instead, get comfortable and enjoy all fifteen songs in one sitting. There are certainly worse ways to spend a reflective hour."

thank you, fan in england!
