The semi-greatness of God's Garden

[vermicious knid]

I'm just realizing that this song is kind of amazing.

I thought it was awful the first time I heard it years ago. It dragged along with a nothing beat and a hoarse and colorless vocal. And since it isn't on the American version of Street Angel, I didn't listen to it much more over the past years.

Now, for whatever reason, I have listened to it a bunch lately and it has dawned on me how powerful it is. It would be like if a classic song were given a mediocre treatment that prevented you from recognizing how good it it. But the quality still shines through.

At this point, I can't even say that the defeated, monotone vocal doesn't work. On some level, it does work with the lyrics, although the song still deserved better.

If you haven't come to this point of recognition of the value of God's Garden, I hope it comes to you too.
