The CD's first track, Waiting for the Train, is a playful, up-tempo number that features Todd's characteristic, highly infectious hooks with a joyful rhythmic feel. I'm Losing You is pure radio-friendly pop, but with its cleverly cadenced lyrics and clean, twangy country guitar lines, it's by no means bubble-gum. Nothing Has Changed, with its searing guitar and rollicking rhythm, reminiscent of Derrick and the Dominos Why Does Love Have to be So Sad, which segues into a sublime coda, is one of the finest works on the album. We Both Know, with its plaintive cello accompaniment, is a profoundly gut- wrenching ballad. How Long Will the Lilacs Last may very well be Todd at his best with its melancholy lyrics juxtaposed with a soaring, triumphant rhythmic and melodic feel. Yellow River is a hard-edged rock song with tortured electric lead guitar and a heavy, driving beat. Behind Those Eyes is a tender, acoustic number, accompanied by pan flute. Most Beautiful Girl in the World reputedly originated as a country song that has now mutated into a Caribbean feel complete with marimba and miscellaneous "ear-candy" percussion instruments. Everybody Needs to Love Someone is a hook-heavy pop/folk song. Don't Know Where to Begin is a powerful song with confessional lyrics, throaty guitar lines and an almost anthem-like chorus. You Can Do it Too (If I Can Do it) tells the story of accidentally reunited former lovers and may be the finest lyrics on the entire CD. So Much Love in Store for You is a simple, yet hauntingly lovely ballad. The version of Aileen included on the CD is a stripped-down version that fans of Todd may not have heard before. Accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, Aileen takes on a more intimate and personal feel then the longer, fuller arrangement played live. If You Can Do it Too, isn't the finest example of Todd's poetic lyrics, then certainly Back on the Lam is. At nearly twelve minutes it's by far the longest, most involved song on the CD. Back on the Lam features some of Todd's best writing as well as his highest level of aural craftsmanship. |
