To me "Ten Storey Love Song" speaks to the healing, comforting power of music in times of distress. How a song can be grand and sweeping, big and high enough to envelope you and elevate you ten stories above the fray. One of the Roses' most poignant, direct songs. Features as always some incredible ensemble playing. The groove created by Mani's rollicking, uncannily melodic bass and Reni's incomparable drumming is a gift from heaven, I can't praise it enough. The rhythm is just so delicate and sublime, it really makes this track something special!
The second verse for me really comes alive. The groove really sets in, and the line "no shortcut through the trees" I find really evocative for some reason. So is "as you're lyin' awake in this darkness".
