[4] Uncut stated that "it taps feelings of regret, loss, yearning & desire but acceptance too". [5]

Production
Windows and Walls is the eighth album by American singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg, released in 1984. The first single, "The Language of Love", reached No. 13 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it his last Top 40 hit. Although the follow-up, "Believe in Me", missed the Top 40 of the pop chart, peaking at No. 48, it became the singer's fourth No. 1 song on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.
New Values is the third studio album by American musician Iggy Pop. It was released in April 1979 by record label Arista.
Beautiful Collision is the second solo album by New Zealand artist Bic Runga, released on 1 July 2002 in New Zealand, 15 July 2002 in Australia, and 5 November 2002 in the United States.
Izitso is the tenth studio album released by the British singer-songwriter Cat Stevens in April 1977. After the lacklustre Numbers, the album proved to be his comeback. The album updated the rhythmic folk rock and pop rock style of his earlier albums with the extensive use of synthesizers and other electronic music instruments, giving the album a more electronic rock and synthpop style, and anticipating elements of electro.
Wee Tam and the Big Huge is the fourth album by the Scottish psychedelic folk group, the Incredible String Band, released in Europe as both a double LP and separate single LPs in November 1968 by Elektra Records. In the US, however, the two discs were released separately as Wee Tam and The Big Huge.
I Looked Up is the sixth album by the Incredible String Band. Recorded at a time when the band was busy rehearsing for their ambitious upcoming stage show, U, the album has been described by band member Robin Williamson as a "quickie" album.
Measure for Measure is the fourth studio album by Australian rock/synthpop band Icehouse and was the third album in the world to be recorded entirely digitally.
Liquid Acrobat as Regards the Air is the ninth album by the Incredible String Band. It features Mike Heron, Robin Williamson, Licorice McKechnie and Malcolm Le Maistre. The album was the band's first almost entirely electric recording; a new feature that was to define the change in the band's sound throughout their final period through 1974. The album did well on the charts, and was the most financially successful of the band's output.
Part II is the second studio album by American country music artist Brad Paisley. Released in 2001 on Arista Nashville, it became Paisley's second platinum-certified album in the United States. It produced four singles: "Two People Fell in Love", "Wrapped Around", "I'm Gonna Miss Her " and "I Wish You'd Stay", which respectively reached number 4, number 2, number 1, and number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. "Too Country" also entered the country charts from unsolicited airplay.
Autograph is the 14th studio album by American singer-songwriter John Denver released in February 1980.
News from Nowhere is the 13th studio album by Australian soft rock band Air Supply released in 1995. The album marks a turn for the band from pop to more adult-oriented themes. Single "Someone" reached #60 in US Adult Contemporary charts. The interpretation of the song "Unchained Melody" and single "Always" both have become favourites in the band's repertoire.
C'mon is the ninth full-length album by American indie rock band Low. It was released on April 12, 2011 on Sub Pop records. The album was recorded at Sacred Heart Studio, a former Catholic church in Duluth, Minnesota, where the band previously recorded 2002's Trust. The album includes guest contributions from Nels Cline, Caitlin Moe of Trans-Siberian Orchestra (violin) and Dave Carroll of Trampled by Turtles (banjo).
Solitaire is the thirty-first studio album by American pop singer Andy Williams, released in the fall of 1973 by Columbia Records and was an attempt to move away from his formulaic series of recent releases that relied heavily on songs that other artists had made popular.
Orange Roses, the second album by English singer-songwriter Rebecca Hollweg, was released on 10 March 2008 on Emu Records. Its songs have a country tinge. Produced in London by Andy Hamill and mixed by Brad Nunn of 4 Hero, it features the same musicians as on Rebecca Hollweg's debut album June Babies and a sleeve design by Jeb Loy Nichols.
