After seeing Breakfast on Pluto, I went back and re-re-re-rediscovered Astral Weeks by Van Morrison. Mr. Morrison and I have enjoyed a long standing relationship from my slick-footed poolside twist days from years ago via "Brown-Eyed Girl," to my all-but obsessive phase around the age of 21. I found these two longer songs to best express a mood I was searching for a few stressful weeks ago. Also, the version of "4th Time Around," as found in the only scene worth its salt in Crowe's Vanilla Sky, hit me one morning as I watched it - half naked and alone. It's a beautiful version. The other songs are some old favorites, some new discoveries, and for the most part reflect that which I was feeling on the day I made this CD.
