25th Anniversary of Out of the Cradle

[wondergirl9847]

Until tonight...I had not listened to this album in full since I lost my parents last summer. OOTC is now even more poignant than it already was to me. This (along with Go Insane) is the first album I bought after I became an LB fan in March 2001. I remember listening to it obsessively back then as it helped me through a rough time in my life (my parent's separation). That summer, me, my dad and my aunt went to Colorado and I took the CD. Driving through the mountains, listening to the gorgeous, lush music made me happy while I dealt with family turmoil.

I hope Lindsey is aware of how important and special his music has been to his fans. I wrote him a letter and handed it to him in London in 2003. I wish I had gotten a photocopy of it, but I believe I mentioned OOTC and how important it was to me in it.
