Finito.
I love "Space Needle" as well, but the "City of Hope" song - which I absolutely adore - is from the mid 80s, I believe, some time after Robin died. If we're talking about her bringing in "new" material, that wouldn't qualify.* Has she written a new one?

I do hope that old one sees the light of day. I love it so much. It really moves me; it really speaks to the pain of loss. Nothing will ever hurt me like this again - and you know in that very statement, you give it up, just a little bit, your child-like nature... The use of the title is both ironic and poignant: Where's this City of Hope? A powerful song.


*I suppose "Space Needle" wouldn't qualify as "new" now either, since it's from 2001, but it would in the context of SYW. I'm a bit confused as to if we're talking about now or then with the inclusion of "My Mother's Rings."
