Schmaltz?

Geoff got a whole bunch of music to listen to and amongst the never ending list of names is a guy called 'Michael Franks'.

I am addicted. Its all I want to listen to! The songs are amazing!! Sleeping Gypsy (1977)has some fantastic tracks including 'Antonio's Song', 'In the Eye of the Storm', 'Chain Reaction' and 'B'wana - He No Home'.

Some of the lyrics from 'In the Eye of the Storm':

chorus:
But hold me awhile
And I'll hang up my guns, mama
I know I've been flyin'
Too near the sun.
We'll move to the mountains
and make love to keep warm,mama
like two little birds
In the eye of the storm.

Dreamy schmaltz?
Or a beautiful waltz, some samba and interesting melodic lines?
I rate MF: Top drawer.
