Day for night

An excellent prog song, with the well-known Beard sound. It's straight in line with 'The kindness of strangers'. So this song isn't specific for the new album, but very tasty as well.
Gibberish

The brilliant song 'Thoughts' from 'Beware of darkness' did allready show some Gentle Giant rip-offs. This one is even more GG and shows a Neal Morse at his best. Magnificent singing and, off course marvelous mellotron parts.
Skin Spock's Beard in a mainstream jacket. This isn't my favorite song, but proves that SB has a lot more than only over-the-top progrock qualities. A compact song with smoe nice special elements

The distance to the sun

Some may say that this is a very beautiful ballad. If you like 'June' then you will do. I think it's too much Simon & Garfunkel and doesn't fit right on this album. It's absolutely not bad, but I prefer the second ballad on this record.
Crack the big sky Ten minutes of real classic prog, with a real sax-solo in the middle. When that sax was recorded more convincing then this would be my favorite track. This song refers to the 'Beware of darkness' days.

The gypsy

A song with a lot of tempo changes. This is not the song that you would like the most when listening the first time. But it grows and you should recognize the elements better and better as you play it again and again. This is the real Spock's Beard.
Can't get it wrong
It starts like a Beatles/ELO ballad with a very recognizable chorus. (You figure it out) Though it's technically spoken not equal to 'The distance to the sun', which contains some multi-vocals. It is more a Spock's Beard song than other ballads.
The healing colours of sound
A masterpiece with six separate items that make a Beard epic complete. 'My shoes' and 'Mommy comes back' are very well balanced songs, but cannot really seen apart. This song brings back the feelings from 'The light', which is absolutely a classic album in it's pureness. Spock's Beard made a real progression with this album. But I can't say that the level of the first two albums can be equaled. We can expect a lot more quality from these Americans.
