I will never ever forget watching the first performance from Gloria after her bus crash at the AMAs when she sang Coming Out Of The Dark. Not only did the crowd stand and cheer for what seemed like 10 minutes (closer to 2 or so), but there wasn't a dry eye in the house (or in mine). Ever since, whenever I hear that beautiful song, I still almost cry. It's amazing, and I guess it's true what they say about how an artists best work comes from when they write personal songs steming from personal tragedies or triumphs. In this case, the song is about both.
Coming Out Of The Dark is by far the best song on here and one of the best songs she has ever written. Also here is the fast and catchy What Comes Around and the hauntingly beautiful Close My Eyes. The two other stand out songs were both hits (and for obvious reasons) - Can't Forget You and Live For Loving You. Gloria is known for both her fantastic ballads and the cute boppy songs too. This is a great cd because there is a good mix of both on here. I really love it and still listen to it often even now.
