Of course, if you really love music you&#8217;ll know what I&#8217;m talking about. There are so many works and recordings I could say that about. Many of them I play over and over again. A few I hide away and almost never take out. I don&#8217;t want them to lose their magic. Over the years, the one that seems most special to me has been a melancholy gem on one of Maire Brennan&#8217;s earlier solo albums. I stumbled upon it and at first thought the album was pretty weak.

The way the words &#8220;call&#8221; and &#8220;fall&#8221; are subtly swapped in the last chorus just works so darn well when you hear it.
