I've read some of the reviews on this particular album. I think some of you are "ragging" on George too much. The man is in love, give him a break. The whole CD is about love, his love for the world, the new love in his life, love for his family, and love for his fans. The man is greatful for it all. Don't hate, Congratulate!!!
So, he's not as angry right now, if this were written by Marvin Gaye, would you all be as harsh, I don't think so. Marvin wrote about his personal experiences too, that's what made him great!
The man could lighten up, actually.
Track #1 "Patience", is somber and sad, the first time I heard it, I had to remember it was song, before I sank into a deep depression.
Track #2 "Amazing", is just that, the video suggests that he's still attracted to women, hard to say. Really doesn't matter it's George, after all.
Track #3 "John and Elvis are Dead", he questions why they're gone and where is God when these things occur, (my best answer to that is God needed them to be elsewhere) and he kindly mentions Marvin.
Track #4 "Cars and Trains", clever, never thought I'd be bobbing my head to a song about self-destructive behavior.
Track #6 "My Mother Had A Brother", is classic George, and my personal favorite. It talks about loss, life after loss and love.
Last, but not least, "Through", please don't tell us you're through.
Those of you who think this album is sappy, please give it another listen, George only releases original material every few years. He's on tour now, so who knows when we'll get more. I personally can't wait. Thank you, George.
