"The album brings to mind the waterfront. The entire album felt like a pleasant wind. Every tune was enjoyable and it would be nice to listen to this music outside lying on the grass under the skies."

"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony." - Benjamin Britten
