Mirage: Favorite Non-Hit Finals

[louielouie2000]

I chose Straight Back. To me, it's the spiritual successor to songs such as Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, and Sisters Of The Moon... all of which are my all time fav songs. I think I'm also partial to the song for my own reasons. The first time I ever heard it I was in a window seat on an airplane listening to Mirage (which I'd just gotten for my birthday) while flying over the Grand Canyon & Lake Mead. I can't describe how almost metaphysical of an experience it was for me to see such incredible scenery with such a gorgeously mystical song complimenting the experience. To this day, every single time I hear Straight Back it takes me back to that memory. And I know it has certainly altered my opinion of the song, and I'm just fine with that.
