Music Review: Curt Smith - Halfway, Pleased - Page 2

"Aeroplane" is a lovely song that could be about searching for a higher power. I say could, because I don't think any of the songs on Halfway, Pleased have a set meaning. Every listener to the album is likely to find a different meaning behind each song. "I prefer writing slightly cryptic lyrics, Curt confides, "that take some thought, and rely on the things that are left unsaid but hinted at."

Cryptic though he may be, Curt Smith has delivered a lush, deeply personal album that contains some very touching music that a lot of fans will be able to relate to in their own way. After listening to Halfway, Pleased, I was very pleased with the end result.
