Which is probably why I was so disappointed with the execution. Beautiful lyrics totally lost in a production mess. Like you said, "there's a lot going on there"... but unfortunately, for me at least, there's too much going on.

Really, Say Goodbye is overproduced? How so? I always thought it was one of his more simpler songs, in a way like NGBA. Red Rover I would agree has a lot going on, though I like it - it seems to be more of a guitar oriented song rather than a song where he used all that mumbo jumbo production stuff. Sorry, I don't know much about production and though I play piano I'm not a musician in the sense that I know what is going on musicially in any of Lindsey's songs.
