...and that was her stand out track on the album. The chorus is tolerable, but for me, the verses are so vapid, lacking any direct points.
"A certain time, a certain place..."
"You touched my hand, all the way, all the way down to Emmaline." (I do like the the mysterious Emmaline reference, as it adds a bit of intrigue).
If I'm walking to Emmaline, I'm holding my companion's hand, not just "touching" it.
"You touched my hand, I played it cool, and you reached out your hand to me."
"You touched my hand, and you smiled, All the way back you held out your hand."
There are just too many hands, expressed in such a clunky, juvenile manner. The attempt to evoke sentiment is lost.
The best line is
"It's hard to find someone with that kind of intensity."
