And this is just so upbeat and sweet. What can I say? It makes me happy. His face makes me happy... His voice makes me happy. The music makes me happy.

Not too many I see today that make me feel 'happy!'

Faves....other than Holding on to You.

Acapella...his voice is beautiful

Delicate... this...

This side of love and Delicate are not only beautiful songs, but the videos are so cool too ! And the lyrics for "The Inner scream" are so powerful and so nicely "translated" (don't know a fitting English word) with his voice too!

The words to This Side of Love and Inner Scream are amazing. I love them both.

Inner Scream...

If you're not good to yourself
You'll be drowned out by your inner scream
If you're not good to yourself
Then your anger becomes a disease

A carnival of confusion (go on and let your scream out)
A carousel of emotion (if you're not good to yourself)
A freakshow of frustration (go on and let your scream out)
Merry-go-round mojo (if you're not good to yourself, to yourself)

If you're not good to yourself
You'll look elsewhere for absolution
If you're not good to yourself
Your self doubt becomes retribution

A sideshow of suspicion (go on and let your scream out)
Ferris wheel of fear (if you're not good to yourself)
A rollercoaster of madness (go on and let your scream out)
Circus of solitude (if you're not good to yourself)

Go on and let your scream out
Go on and let your scream out
Go on and let your scream out
Go on and let your scream out
Let it out, yeah

If you're not good to yourself (go on and let your scream out)
You'll be drowned out by your inner scream (go on and let your scream out)
If you're not good to yourself (go on and let your scream out)
Then your anger becomes a disease
If you're not good to yourself
To yourself, to yourself, self, self

Go on and let your scream out
Go on and let your scream out
Go on and let your scream out
Go on and let your scream out
Let it out, yeah

Go on and let your scream out (go on and let your scream out)
Go on and let your scream out (go on and let your scream out)
Go on and let your scream out (go on and let your scream out)
Let it out

Please be good to yourself
Please be good to yourself
Please be good to yourself
Please be good

This Side of Love... if you just listen to the song and don't really hear what he's saying you'd think it was just a nice little song about love.

We're on the negative side of love
I'm subject to all bizarre whims she fancies
I'm running escape to find the handle
Of the door she locks me up in
She's on the laughing side of sin
What have I done in all my past lives
(To end up on) This side of Love?

We're on a permanent twist of fate
She has dominion over time and torture
I'm pinching myself to convince me that
I'm in a living nightmare
The killer attraction of a dare
What have I done, emasculation
(To end up on) This side of Love?

If I should stay
(Will the beat go on?)
I must be strong
(We tell you every day)
Will I return
(To normal lovers again?)
Please peel my skin
('Cause my soul is burning)

We're on a roundabout whirl of scorn
The demons are smiling and the angels snoring
I feel like a stepchild Caeser that's been
Beaten and bruised to please her
Wearing a rusted ring of thorns
What have I done to piss the Gods off
(To end up on) This side of Love?

If I should stay
(Will the beat go on?)
I must be strong
(We tell you every day)
Will I return
(To normal lovers again?)
Please peel my skin
('Cause my soul is burning)

We're on the negative side of love
I see my condition as a sign of service
I'll snuggle up close to her knowing
That I'm practising my religion
Warming the barrel of a gun

This will be the deed that finds me next time

(On this side of)
(On this side of)
(On this side of) This side of Love

^^^^ He is such a great lyricist !

I forgot Loosing becomes too easy, Pretty baby & Marlene on Angels & Vampires

Has anyone heard of an album which is just a piano set? i heard a rumour re: this an age ago and never got to the bottom of it???

One of my favourite songs from a great artist.

For quite a long time all I had was the two disc Greatest Hits but I recently acquired his first four albums and they are all pretty good (the first one probably being the weakest).

Like a lot of folks I'm not too familiar with his newer material. I'd buy some of his new albums if they were a bit cheaper.
