In fact, the protagonist looks back at his former home with clear, unsparing eyes, seeing it for the stifling prison that it was. Luckily those triumphant harmonies transcend all of the constraints of that backwater burg.
It’s really hard to name a top 15. This does well but depending on the day my top 15 change. Pity no mention of songs from Stranger to Stranger – I find Wristband and many others strong. Who am I kidding? I LOVE all his work
