Constellation of the Heart

The above was removed from someone's post on a review of The Red Shoes, and
for the third or fourth time since I subscribed to Love Hounds, I am indeed
surprised on the subject of "Constellation of the Heart".  As it seems the
majority concur that this song is abysmal.  

I would just like a show of hands of those who, like me, find this track to
be one of their favorites on TRS.  I adore the "dialogue" back and forth
between the "Cap'n" and crew, and the theme of it reminds me of Hounds of
Love -- being afraid to embrace love.  I also heard this song for the first
time as I was driving out to Death Valley, miles from any life at all in the
Mojave desert, out for my yearly visit to a dear ballerina friend of mine,
who was just turning 70 years old.  So I was in quite an elevated state, and
that is forever fused with my association with Constellation.  

I agree that The Red Shoes lacks much of what I love about the girl who first
caught my ear wailing for Heathcliff...but I feel there are at least four
other tracks to moan about much louder than Constellation of the Heart.
