Tusk revisited painfully

[Rainman]

Well, fellow Ledgies, after the painful end of a very long-term relationship, I poured a glass of wine (or four) and cranked up Tusk. I've probably listened to this album a thousand times and still I find it haunting. In particular, can anyone who's ever experienced a beautiful love lost listen to Storms without feeling the raw emotion in Stevie's voice and lyrics? I urge everyone (because surely you've all known the pain of losing a great love) to put Storms on the headphones and listen intently. Actually, listen to the whole album on headphones. REALLY listen. To me, Tusk was FM's crowning artistic achievement. Some of their other work may be more approachable, but Tusk is simply etherial magic.

Now I'm going to crank up the volume and listen more.

Anyway, just wanted to put this out there . . .
