This song is as spiritual as it is worldly, both in message and in effect. Most of the audience are smiling and swaying and wrapped in the arms of the feel of the song. The guy I click with is smoothing and swaying and singing along in obviously joy as James comes 'knocking on his door' - he's knocking on mine too, Bud. sc

I've got my headphones on cause my wife is on the sofa watching the news (mostly crappy) and I tell myself I won't sing 3rd harmony this time when it kicks in - yeah, right. here I am, just singing third to james incredible mellow music, incurring dirty looks from the couch - ouch.

[Bob Walton]

See....age, gender, race and ability are all transcended when it comes to a beautiful song performed by a beautiful artist. Just look at the audience.

Play this vid, listen with your heart, and try not to smile - see I told you - can't be done.
