Hi Jan!
best singing piece...This can re-open the debate!
What you say about 'Alabama' makes me think about 'trying so hard to forget'. I do love 'Alabama' too but the lyrics always make me think about JB Lenoir...
Now talking about 'Trying so hard' it always shocked me that such sad lyrics could be sang without apparent affection, I don't know but probably is the piece in which I appreciate the most the way Peter sang.
I also thought about 'Man of the world', `Worried dream`and also `jumping at shadows', but 'Trying...' is special to me because I can feel the sadness even without apparent intentional affection.
Any other opinions...?
