Oh yeah, and if you've ever heard (or sang in) a 4-part choral arrangement of "Dona Nobis Pachem" in round, a capella, then that just sends this track into the stratosphere of "Respect". 

Nearly everything off of Fear is a fantastic track....landed this gem on a PSD, and can't believe I haven't heard it hear on RP before. 

More Toad!

You know .. I'm gonna put this out there and you can call me crazy, but if you ever listen to the song "Brandy" by the group Looking
Glass, you will hear exactly that rare voice.  Exactly.

If RP starts playing "Butterflies" from this album, I'll donate $50.

That's not a threat, that's a promise. 

Heard the name but not the music before. Not bad, worth further investigation.

I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to gods of cruel design
Is it that they fear the pain of death
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?

Pray your gods who hold you by your fear
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
Or lay upon my altar now your love
I fear my day is done — there're armies moving on — be quick, my love

Bill must have been touched by an angel recently, 'cause he's playing a boatload of sappy religious crap...like this song. Ugh.

Bill can you make this happens...every time I hear this roll around I think it is Pink....

Underrated song...compelling and spiritual. Excellent.

Not one of my fav Toad songs, but Glenn Phillips could sing anything and I am hooked, just one of my personal favorite vocalists of any genre!

true spandangled wonder glory...  love it...

Fast Eddie and I saw Toad last year at The Birchmere—original band! They were good, but Philips was remote, almost disengaged. Saw Philips with his new band, W.P.A., last week at Wolftrap and it was like a different guy: strange stony patter, needling bandmates (Sean Watkins and Luke Bulla—awesome 3-part harmonies) on stage—and not once did he stop smiling.

Wow, its been a while since I heard this one.  My twin sister and I used to play this song at coffee shops back in the day. 
The depth of your library never fails to wow me RP!

Take this one along with a good glass of wine out on the patio late at night, turn it up, look at the stars, and you know:
Life is good!  ( - if not for anything else, then just for the music...)

One of my "take on a lonesome island" CDs in category "pop music"
  ( "hey, we told you you could only take 5 CDs with you"  -
    "oh, i thought that was per category!" -
    "well, no... but that explains the wardrobe trunk"... ) 
 

Toad The Wet Sprocket - Pray Your Gods
Midge Ure - Dear God

The worst two loads of dross I've heard RP play. Come on something ballsy like Jimi Hendrix to salvage the situation...

no words...

Don't know where I was when these guys were together, but in the last year or two they've gotten to be one of my favorite bands.

This set is simply retro-awesome. i just re-postponed the postponed meeting cuz i can't take RP with me if i step out the door.

Love me some Toad.

A Gregorian chant perhaps next?

I'll have to investigate this CD

Great album and AWESOME song! This one is a bit odd to play on the guitar BTW.

Lot of emotion 1991. . .
