I love this cd. Mike Schmid has succeeded with his wish  to make a record that would resonate whether one is 2, 22, or 102. The songs are incredible. The lyrics and melodies are masterfully arranged, and his voice is my favourite kind of voice-without affect or posturing. The songs transport me emotionally and visually. It's like I've entered another beautiful and mysterious world, or this every-day world has become more wonderful, or both. He is the real deal, a true artist. You can tell. The entire collection of songs is stellar, but my favourite song  is "Dream". It's a perfect song. I dare you to listen to this record once and not immediately replay it. I'm looking for more stars because 5 isn't enough. Bravo.
