When Ghost Beside my Bed first came out, I went on a quest to get my hands on that CD - and played it repeatedly. It was just the most amazing song I'd heard - and the entire CD became one that I enjoyed immensely.

I don't know what it is about the Ghost Beside my Bed song. It has droney, soothing music, but the angst is just so powerfully drawn out. You never really know why the guy is dreaming / envisioning someone beside him. Did his girlfriend die tragically in a crash? Did she run away, never to be seen again? You get the sense of Heathcliff / Wuthering Heights, that lovers were torn apart.

It goes into "Heal Me" which has the same soaring, soothing harmonies and lyrics. In this case, the partner is there with him, making things all better again.

I really love each song on the CD. Reunion. One Small Boat. Do What you Want. This CD is really a must-have for me, and considering how rare it is to find in modern days, I'll take extra good care of it!!
