"reason why" can make you cry if you let it. "letter read" has such a beautiful beat ...the piano/bass/percussion opening ...oooh. does it for this boy! these girls" and "i'll find a way" Just what can you say? rachael has her way with it doesn't she? all the tracks are well written and played as they should have been. no messin' with perfection. i can say i have this thing for "meet by the water"...that song pretty much has stuck to me like crazy glue since i heard it for the first time. for me it's love....said best by rachael..she knows her way around the topic as no other does. if you don't like this album you must have serious aural deficiencies and should go get it checked out by your family doctor. if nothing is wrong then i guess there is just no hope for you and i wish you the best. p.s.
