Oh please! I spent $7 buying the CD- single, and the moment I heard CitW
I regretted it. Rocket Man is imaginative and progressive (#3 on the Boston
Phoenix charts BTW). CitW is BORING. I'm sorry, but even Her voice is rather
poor on that one. Sinead could have done a much better job. Sacrifice is also
based on piano but it moves me, CitW just leaves me cold.
