I'm your prince
Please be my bride
You'll be out the door before midnight
I need proof
of what I found
Please leave a little puddle of you behind
And I'm sorry I can't offer you a kingdom
I get lost in slaying dragons of my own
I don't mean for you to sleep in rags and cinders
All I want is break the spell and take you home
To see you
and take you
and feel you
To want you
and call for you
Receive you
Receive, receive
Receive, receive
I'm your prince
Please be my bride
You'll be out the door before midnight

Imbued with the kind of subtlety which implies the epic without succumbing to indulgent sprawl; music of obvious extreme technical mastery that still feels raw and immediate and homespun. I've not fallen so instantly in love with a record of guitar music of any stripe for years. Just pure magic. Jack Francis
