An album I've been wanting to play for a while. Since they have just released their 2009 release 'Embryonic", I thought now would be a good time to track a copy down. There are many great things about this band and this album in particular, but certainly "Do You Realize" is one of my all-time favorite songs for sure. Thanks to my friend Les for getting me this disc, as my copy has been worn out due to too much transportation over the years. "Let them know you realize that life goes fast, it's hard to make the good things last, you realize the sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round."
Michael-MFL
25) James-"Sayonara"  From the CD 'Wah-Wah'.
