I had not heard "Carry Me" before! I'm not very partial to the Flaming Red songs; I tend to go more for stuff from Children Running Through, 1000 Kisses, and Impossible Dream. (I think "Rain," "Kite Song," "Burgundy Shoes," and "Useless Desires" are my favorites, but oooh, there's also "Nobody's Crying" and "When It Don't Come Easy"...)
Maybe it's too slow?
I think my Platonic Tempo is set about 50-100 beats per minute below most people's, so this may well be it. *g* I like that one for the guitar line (it reminds me of a horse's trot) and the lyrics, and because Karen's voice sounds so sweet in it.
I think my problem with some of their stuff is that I don't really like jazz (unless it's swing), so I can't get into their jazzy stuff.
I totally took the title of one of my most recent Susan/Michael fics from "Cruel and Pretty." :D
And Hem! I have not heard of them! I will check them out!! :)
AAAAAAHHHH!!! I MUST HOOK YOU! :D Crap, I used to have a zip file of everything they'd done up until two years ago, but I can't find it. (I buy pretty much everything from the iTunes store, which means it's password-protected, and I have to burn things to a CD and re-import them to get them to work off of my computer.) I will do some digging.
But ooh, I have four of their best songs in this zip file. You should also totally check out "Half Acre," "Redwing," and "He Came to Meet Me."
