Here's a question: what is your favorite GoBees song? We're limiting it to one - in other words, if some evil machine were going to zap every GoBees song out of existence but one, which one would you keep, if it were up to you?

I would pick "Quiet Heart". To me it's the best exemplar of that patented wistful/happy, sad but still transcendent quality that is the GBs trademark. Great lines, incredibly moving...I think of the "You've always got further to go" line on an almost daily basis.

According to my Itunes Spring Rain is my most played though I dispute it as my favourite. Cattle and Cain, Quiet Heart, Core of A Flame or People Say

This week it's The Clarke Sisters.
A song so sumptuous, the characters are almost family.:-)

'Cattle and Cane' for me. Sounds quite unlike anything else and still moves me.

Jerry, if the clarke sisters are family, i'm coming over for dinner! I've always wanted to meet them.

LK you're crazy. Give us two one from each songwriter.

Right now, it'd be:
Rock n Roll Friend (RF)
Quiet Heart (GM)

I wouldn't ever claim an all-time favourite: but for the moment it's "Finding You".

It's way in the lead in my iTunes too, followed by "In the core of a flame", and "Clouds".
