Sounds a bit like 'Just Like ..."  [+]  Reply

"I wish everyone knew and loved this album as much as I do; but even though it's been easier to get hold of for a good ten years now, it seems there are still many who haven't caught on to its lyrical loveliness - I'm the first to post a comment on this, a site for the musical cognoscenti.
