Coming up for Air

A few months ago, Dan Reed toured the UK for the first time since the Network tours in the 90's.  It was a sort-of-acousticy affair.  The new songs being more spiritual and the old Network songs taking on a new (for me) life, especially "I'm so Sorry".  Anyway, the new album is Coming up for Air, and I've never connected with the lyrics in an album the way I have with this one.  It's incredible.

Dan played again recently, and there was a fantastic sing-a-long of the song "Closer".  This is a deeply moving song, and the whole crowd singing along just added to it.  It was as if everyone connected in a very special, magical, moment.

Coming up for Air is a very special album.
