I have not heard the NETword on this album. I however like it very much.
It
is by far the most lyrical and sweeping of her music. I enjoy all the
albums
I have heard (TKI, HoL, Dreaming, TSW), but each is very different, and
I have
a first true love of big sweeping themes (I have always loved Russian
romantic
classical music). This is why I like TSW the best.

I too like this song, but the video to the title track is my favorite.
The song embodies the sensual pleasures, and seeing her run through a
forest,
dressed in a red velvet dress, arms spread wide... wow. 

(Actually, I like the Cloudbusting video too. Donald Sutherland is
cool.)
