'Common miracle'.A miraculous song! Beautifully simple song structure,powerfully moving.And just Stina and piano.And rare as hen's teeth. :D

Common Miracle for me also. In all it's simplicity it's truly beautiful.

It would be the first hit single to include the piano student in the next room practising scales. :lol:

I also voted for Give me more of Everything; quite obviously... :D

but also it's too bad V?rmlandsvisan isn't a choice, cause Stina's refrain is just the best ever! :)

'Greetings From The Old World'. There's just something about it, an atmosphere I love.

I really like the words to 'Common Miracle' and 'Walking Too Fast', but musically neither one does a lot for me.

Hey aermancer where are you getting these smilies from?
And who's that on your photo? Is that Stina?

Re: the piano student-if you listen towards the end of the track you can clearly hear scales being practised by a pianist,I'm guessing Stina either recorded it over something she didn't quite erase or else she was doing it as part of her tenure as a tutor at the Stockholm academy or wherever it was (Beady Belle was one of her students) and someone's next door doing their homework.
I like it anyway.I love Stina's use of lo-fi and inclusion of ambient sound-PAS is a masterpiece of lo-fi.!

I always thought that piano was there on purpose! and after the piano is finished you can also hear a woman talking..
