Search - Hayden :: Closer I Get

All of Hayden's albums are excellent. This is one of those CDs that when I see it posted I wonder: Do I need a second copy? What if something happens to the copy I have? I will resist the urge to order another, but I really do love it that much. Preview a few songs and, if you like what you hear, order it before someone else does!

It's hard to decide, but I think my favorite lyrics here (from "The Hazards of Sitting Beneath Palm Trees"--great title, right?) are:
"your eyes drift across the beach
and just before you reach me he speaks
his face is red and he's talking degrees
and you get up to leave as the sun hits the trees
and you jump in the water with him at your feet"

"someone above me said "The first time I heard this was at a party." I just want to say that must have been the worst party EVER. otherwise, if you're like me and spend your time alone, so alone, then this is the best cd to have a party with yourself to. a death party that is, suicide punch + weird phone calls to your close friends at 3:30am."

Hayden's talent is obvious on this, his second album.

"Hayden writes and sings sweet, sad, insightful songs about simple everyday things or events that really make the listener think about them in a different, more meaningful way. He also uses a variety of instruments on this album such as the steel guitar and a beautiful piano/cello combination on "Nights Like These" to make his music more flavorful. Hayden is my favorite male singer, and I highly recommend both of his albums."
