    REASON and SONG No12 are the two more strange tracks of new cd!!! They have the alternative feeling of 90's, who is very strange for the music of EUROPE... When i heard those songs, i didn't like me. But now i love both of them...

    Reason
    I love this song. It is a very moving piece. I love the guitar solo on this one. One of John's many best!

    There must be a reason...

    I like that.

    It's one of my most favourite songs ever!

    I want to hear more about it, of course.

    I love this song. A great example of how Joey has matured over the years. Some of his best lyrics ever.

    Hej Remon
    Hej mate,

    I'd agree with you in that these lyrics are maybe more poetic than any other CD - I guess this is a result of Joey's life in the UK where his handle of the english language too has increased tenfold. I am a native english-speaker, so I guess I dont fully see a huge difference; however there are many lyrics here that I find moving and the result of a pretty great 'wordsmith'!

    REASON has such beautiful lyrics - so emotional and insightful![SM=x237801] [SM=x237823]
    Contrary to what some have posted here, this song IMO is NOT the low point of the songs I've herd so far. I dont think there IS a low point!!

    My English is pretty good, but I think the lyrics on SFTD are the most complicated of any Europe album. I'm not a native speaker, Dimi do you agree?? [SM=x237800]

    A beautiful song - the lyrics are fantastic! A very feeling and emotional song!
    Theres a strong balance between sentiment and power at play here - when that 'wall' of sound hits you at the beginning of each chorus its like "WOW"!
    I wouldn't call this song 'alternative' - just a great balladic rocksong. If anyone has heard D:A:D's songs "Grow or Pay" and "Laugh 'n' 1/2", - they are both songs I would liken to this one. Hard balladic rock songs.
    Norum's solo here is beautiful - I'm sure his guitar cries.. so dripping with sentiment! And the layered vocals at the end of the song - UNREAL!
    Great that Leven has some awesome opportunities on this song too.... his basswork is top-notch!

    nice beat, nice guitar solo. Mic did a great job writing/co-writing... Yeah, Joey made a mistake by not putting it on his solo album but now it's available as a Europe track!

    This is a beautiful song......if Joey and Mic wrote this for Joey's last album I'm really surprised it didn't make it onto that album.......or maybe the boys already had in mind a future Europe album.....[SM=x237803]
