听过他的歌不多，但每一首都给我惊喜。现在送上的是最近最爱的Traffic In the Sky，来自2003年的On and On。
我不是个善于描述自己感受的人，我只能说，听Traffic In the Sky的感觉就像是漂浮在平静的无尽的水面上，望着蓝天的感觉。
其他如Upside Down，Cookie Jar，Do You Remember，Better Together也是精品。
There's traffic in the sky
and it doesn't seem to be getting much better
there's kids playing games on the pavement
drawring waves on the pavement
shadows of the planes on the pavement
its enough to make me cry
but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
maybe its a dream and if I scream
it will burst at the seams
this whole place will fall to pieces
and then they'd say...
well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
if you keep on adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well
puzzle peices in the ground
but no one ever seems to be digging
instead they're looking up towards the heavens
with their eyes on the heavens
there are shadows on the way to the heavens
it's enough to make me cry
but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
The answers could be found
we could learn from digging down
but no one ever seems to be digging
instead they'll say...
well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
if you keep on adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well
words of wisdom all around
but no one ever seems to listen
they're talking about thier planes on paper
building up from the pavement
there are shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
it's enough to make me sigh
but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
the words are still around
but the words are only sounds
and dno one ever seems to listen
instead they'll say
well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
if you keep on adding stones
soon the water will be lost in the well
