...a great seed of a song, but it really suffers from its paint-by-numbers arrangement...listen to it more than about three times and it really starts to grate on one's ears as a repetitive and sophomoric whole... ...i bought the album with high hopes, not realising it was christian music at the time, and let's just say that the genre stereotypes hold up, rendering the balance of the album more-or-less unlistenable...

I disagree. This is a beautiful song that showcases Steven Deloupolos' voice quite nicely over a mellow arrangement of guitar, synthesizers, and strings. Eileen should be proud.

If I was Eileen I think I\'d complain...

Hmm, about your U2/Bono comment; I know people that were in the church Bono used to go to (Bono left that church, I'm not sure about his wife). Apparently Bono and his wife have different views on Christianity. His wife being more "fundamentalist" and Bono being a lot more liberal. I'm not saying Bono is not a Christian, I'm not saying he is because I don't know. All I know is that he and his wife seem to have strong differences on the issue of faith. When I listen to the lyrics of one the theme of the differences between Bono and his wife seem to fit a lot better than the theme of difficulties in the band. Well, I could be wrong but it seems quite plausible to me...

begin quote: \"I like this song although I can\'t help noticing some similarity both lyrically and thematically between U2\'s one and this song. They may be coming from different sides though, this is a Christian band possibly singing about a non-Christian friend/loved one etc. and Bono is a non-Christian singing about his Christian wife\" end quote Two problems here. First, U2\'s \"One\" has nothing to do with his wife. Bono wrote the words to \"One\" when the band was in turmoil and near breakup. \"One\" brought them back together on the same page. Second, I\'m sure Bono would call himself a Christian. U2 is a Christian band singing rock songs. They\'ve said it again and again. Now, they might not fit your definition of Christians, but they of course meet the classical definition.

BORING!

Jeezus, I am so sick of this lame song.

I like this song although I can't help noticing some similarity both lyrically and thematically between U2's one and this song. They may be coming from different sides though, this is a Christian band possibly singing about a non-Christian friend/loved one etc. and Bono is a non-Christian singing about his Christian wife. I must say I haven't analyzed the lyrics of this song too much (I'm not even sure of all the words) so I could be wrong....

Nice tune. It\'s interesting to note that Burlap to Cashmere is contemporary Christian music, as is Jars of Clay which played after Bill\'s break. Breaks are generally meant to separate genres which would sound harsh if played back-to-back, though in this case it just added to the flow. Even in your breaks you surprise this wee Blarg. Thanks for keeping us on our toes! Oh, and thanks for playing tunes the modern adult contemporary stations would normally fear! I\'ve bought more CDs because of Radio Paradise in the past six months than I have because of broadcast radio over the past three years.

Agreed, not a pop ditty in my mind. Very nice.

Who are these guys? Lead vocalist really reminds me of a contemporary christian singer I used to listen to...

Nice song. Pleasant vocals, harmonies and guitar work. Hardly pop ditty like in my opinion.

A boring little poppy ditty, IMO. Ho-hum.

what a gorgeous song...outstanding!
