This is something I wonder about myself...whenever I hear the song, I think
of Wim Wender's film, "Wings of Desire." Angels over Berlin, watching us
mere mortals experience joy, suffering, and death...
It always kind of throws me off guard when Pat switches to "sensitive mode,"
being more used to his caustic wit. It makes the more emotionally charged
songs even more affecting..."Angels," "The Good Ones," "Racheland," and
the like.
