Song discussion: Gone Into The Sun

[Jyqm]

This song came up today as I was listening to my iPod on shuffle. I hadn't realized before how beautiful it is. Christine's voice is particularly great and full of understated beauty, especially considering what an early song it is. The simplicity of the arrangement also really serves to bolster Christine's vocal. The repeated guitar figures are almost hypnotic, and the drum fills very gently push the song forward when Chris isn't singing.

This song has a very late-60s-pop vibe to it, like a Mamas & Papas song without the harmonies. I almost get a (very subtle) psychedlic feel from this song too, although the lyrics are just your typical (typically wonderful, that is) Christine love ballad.

Anybody else care to share some thoughts on this song, what you like about it, what you don't? It's on the Madison Blues set, for those who haven't heard it or don't remember it.
