All the comments about the lovely Beth Orton vocals, but no one mentions William Orbit collaborated on this?  His production fingerprints are all over it. :)

can't remember the rest, but I concur, this is why I love this radio station 

(one smallish gripe, though: aside from my monthly RP contribution, which is worth WAY more than its weight in gold, cocaine, diamonds, what have you, my iTunes and Amazon Downloads bills are getting out of hand. Bill, if anyone tells you that internet radio is hurting music sales, I'll show them my Visa bill. OK, this wasn't a gripe afterall. My ipod is swollen and thick from all the great music I discovered via RP) 
 
All true!

Love this!  Familiar, comforting, yet full of newness...  Perfect accompaniment to a resin-scented morning — neighborhood red pine…

  Well said!!  This song has always been one of my very favorites played on Radio Paradise — and I only hear it on RP (or in my own personal collection now...).  And it remains a "10" on my ratings list.

I'll third that...  After Maverick A Strike, I just assumed he couldn't do wrong and bought this without listening to anything on it...  Unfortunately, Dice is the only song I can stand on this record.

I must just be in an RP slipstream - I've liked every song so far.  This one has hints of Tom Petty, and also of William Topley and The Blessing.  Mmmmm - good schtuff...{#Sunny}

I'm guessing his name's pronounced "K" not "kway" (or "key"), based on his Wiki article, and his father's name: Caleb Kaye.

Except it's less than 5 years old, but the sentiment is appropriate.

Finley's 1997 and 2001 albums are also excellent. About half the tracks on each are definitely keepers. Really creative and "Groovy" ; )

I absolutely agree that this is the best song on the album--the mixture of his voice and Beth Orton's is amazing. But even though the rest of the songs aren't that great, "Beautiful Nature" is good for dancing around the house with a 3-year-old.

I really like this song, so I bought the rest of the album. The rest of the songs are either just OK or downright horrible. If you ask me, anyway.

Me three; I totally agree with the both of you. . .
