different schematics? maybe. "you're the one" suffers from the same
problems that "reaching out" does: it's trite. i don't deny KaTe her
right to a catharsis (if indeed this song is one), but that doesn't
mean i have to like yet another whiney song about lost love. never-
mind the fact that jeff beck is completely under-utilized. soaring,
mournful guitar solos are his forte but there isn't one there!

as for "constellation...," my response is similar to yours. i'm still
not fond of the song but there is a lot of interesting bits and pieces
sprinkled throughout. i actually find myself humming the chorus more
than anything else.

i can agree with this. i just don't happen to like the focus all that 
much.
