		<description><![CDATA[&quot;sometimes, in THE moment of pain, there is no resolution at our fingertips.
only questions.
and only a longing for hope.
a longing.&quot;

My God, My God! - Why have you foresaken me???  ( ;-) )

Of course He never did - it was the last vestige of doubt of Just One Man.

Almost immediately afterwards all doubt was removed and life eternal began.

I understand fully now :-)

Thank You &#039;young-un&#039; :-)

		<description><![CDATA[Russ: i was talking to my husband about yours/TheNor&#039;s wanting more of the bridge.
i really really wish i&#039;d thrown this song out there before the HOURS of production, because i think both of you are right - i could&#039;ve soared longer. 
but, dang, it&#039;d take another few months to re-make all of it! 
the perfectionist in me won&#039;t be able to sleep now.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@mandy: taking into consideration the lyrics AND the emotions of the music, what love is asking/saying makes mucho sense!

Me being more of a composition/theory buff, I&#039;m approaching it from the musical side of things...so me, I&#039;m looking for balance.

Not necessarily symmetrical balance, but mood/emotional balance. To me you&#039;ve got a lot of the free flowing stuff at the beginning already...Why go back to it at the end?

The bridge brings in this &quot;other&quot; thought, this other idea to the song, but it&#039;s like a teeny little glimpse. If that&#039;s what you&#039;re after, then by all means, leave it as is. But just from sheer enjoyment, that bridge is gorgeous. I hate that it&#039;s so short. I just want to bask in that moment for a while too, as I&#039;ve lingered in the other thoughts/moods/emotions of the song before it.

Again I&#039;m not talking about putting each segment of the song on a scale and trying to achieve symmetry, but just from the aesthetic side of the song.

If that doesn&#039;t make sense, than never mind...hehehe.]]></description>
