I like the feel of this - a bit like some Criwded House / Neil Finn songs

The perfect song at the perfect moment. I spend too much time seeking shelter, too.

Ah, Marcela, the beautiful shepherdess:

"But in the event the two are equally beautiful, it does not mean that their desires are necessarily equal, for not all beauties fall in love; some are a pleasure to the eye but do not surrender their will, because if all beauties loved and surrendered, there would be a whirl of confused and misled wills not knowing where they should stop, for since beautiful subjects are infinite, desires would have to be infinite too"

LOL, I guess you had to be there to get this.  The miracle game went so late I fell asleep and will regret it till my dying breath.  I live on the east coast, so it was extra late.

Fantastic song off a truly outstanding album...and sounds great after that Martha Scalan song (also thought Indigo Girls would be perfect but this one fills the bill as well)...thanks, RP!

Haven't heard this great song from this outstanding album for a year or two.  Brings back great memories.  Thanks RP.

Listened to this album during a difficult time in my life. I am now sitting at work in tears. I embraced this song as it allowed me to wallow in my misery, perhaps trying to understand the pain I had caused a loved one. I didn't believe it absolved me of anything, just a chance to open up to the sadness. This is still hard to listen to today.
 
Thanks for your candid post. I think we all have songs that bring back painful memories. For me it's Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car".

Changed it from an 8 to a 9. Damn it's good.

Arm in arm on a hot summer day at Taste of Lincoln, Chicago in 1995. Toad on stage with about 500 of my closest friends (at least during this song). Everyone swayed and swooned. Really cool.

Toad's released an album of new versions of some of their favorite songs (called All You Want), and it includes an excellent new version of Windmills. It's different, more electric, but just as awesome and beautiful. If you are a fan of this song I'd recommend it! You can buy the album on their website or at shows.
Also they are officially reuniting as a band and working on new songs together. This could not make a Toad fan happier.  {#Bananasplit}

Laughing until it's right

There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Take the darkest hour-break it open
Water to repair what we have broken

There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Baby anywhere the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for

There's something that you won't show

Baby anywhere the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for

Pull on the borders to lighten the load
Tell all the passengers we're going home

I spend too much time seeking shelter
World without end couldn't hold her

Now There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Maybe anywhere the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for
Anyway the wind blows

"Dulcinea" and "Coil"...tough call pour moi. "Nanci" certainly bats for the former.
