Songs of the "you clearly have issues, but if you'd let me love you I'd be so good for you" ilk have a way of rubbing me the wrong way, which is why it took me by completely bewildered surprise when Vienna Teng swooped in with "Never Look Away" and downright seduced the closet romantic in me. I feel wooed. I have been topped by a dance beat. VT could offer me her hand and I might just take it.

I LOVE THAT SONG. I was actually listening to it not long before I scrolled past this entry - it might just be my favourite on the album. ♥ I'm also not a fan of the fix-you-with-my-love vibe, but the lyrics to this one always felt too broad/universal to put me off that way - it's cool to hear what her intent was when she wrote it. (And it feels like a good counterpoint to "Watershed", which takes a very different tone re: nature singing to humanity...)
