Wow.....love your post...

Okay, okay. I'll give in. I like this.

Or is it just that the hook hooks me?

It has that minor key thing, like Don't Fear the Reaper, or Break on Through to the Other Side.

Great track. I'd like to hear more from this dark and inspiring album. There are many great tracks there.

This tune is from an album called..."Together Alone". It isn't originally from the cover showing. Both artwork are bad imo. Music is excellent.
