There isn’t a clunker on the whole record – it varies song to song, but definitely maintains a theme throughout. Long after I had been listening to this album regularly I noticed something – the first line, “I’m sinking like a stone in the sea . . .” and the last line, “ . . . need you like water in my lungs” tie together. When I realized this, it gave the record a whole new context as it came together as a cohesive story – an exploration of how a man’s first sexual experience shaped his view of relationships for years to come.
