Blown away by Sweet Suite...............

  This is one of those rare songs that imbeds itself upon one's psyche and stays forever. I remember Phoebe Snow's "Poetry Man" and Carol King's "Jazz Man" also having the same kind of profound affect on me as a kid growing up. I couldn't wait to get home from work so I could play this song. It's haunting and mesmerizing at the same time. I'm completely hooked. Bravo Wendy and Lisa!!!!!

I was blown away by it too. I had it on repeat, just listening to the cords over and over. Amazingly beautiful.

 It's been awhile since I thought about my best friend and every time I play this song it reminds me of her. She died way too young and I thought we'd be in each other's lives forever. We started out as lovers but as the expression goes, right person, wrong time. I had come out of one of those blind love relationships and promised myself I would never love another that way again. I met Non and true to my word I kept my distance emotionally and never let her in. I took her for granted and thought she'd never leave me. I was a complete jerk. One day she ended up in the arms of my best friend and of course I saw red. I wanted nothing to do with either of them but Non didn't want to let go of me completely because she genuinely cared about me. I was too stubborn and hateful to want her as a friend but she kept pressing and wouldn't let me go. I guess her persistance paid off because we ended up being the absolute best of friends. She went through hell and back again with me and still she was patiently waiting for me to come to my senses with every ill-fated relationship I got myself into, my self-destructive stage I guess. Non was one of those special people that comes along once in a lifetime and I swear she was and still is my guardian angel. She died at the age of 25 and I'll never forget her.

    I can hear Non whispering the very beginning of Sweet Suite to me in my dreams and I feel her outstretched hand barely touching mine and as the song intensifies I see blinding white light surrounding her and I know I can finally let go because she will always be a part of me.

I love it, too. I have to be careful not to overplay it because I want it to stay fresh for me. SS reminds me of this Prince song that instantly meant the world to me, that I can listen to one million times and still be amazed. That would be 'anotherloverholeinyourhead'.
