“This is one of the most beautiful heartfelt songs I have ever heard. This tune entranced me for solid months after I heard it and got it. The gorgeously lilting flowing melody and wonderful simple and dynamic instrumental accompaniment. This song still has the power to make me feel a little happier and bring a smile to my face.”

“Christian ideas of heaven and hell, roman ideas of the sun as something palpable, and poetic idyllic ideas of the peace and contentment found in sun and light all come together in the smooth, comforting lyrics of this song. It's one of those songs that makes you happier just to listen to.”

“An entrancing acoustic tune that sports an off-kilter rhythm and classic Badly Drawn Boy vocals.”

“starts out with a solo cello intro. and then french horn enters. just when you think this might be a chamber music piece, the acoustic guitar comes in. folky-chamber pop at it's best.”

“A soft, flowing, haunting sound, accompanied by raw-sounding vocals. Beautiful ballad.”

“there's something about that delicious, rolling 3/4 time that you have to sincerely like, since the vocals start no sooner than midway through this song”

“Put this on repeat. All night long. Think about how much fun you had with him. Set that little candle out on the water.”

“Camping next to water - it could be just a lovely summer's day with convenient fishing, but instead is a tragic tale of being snowed in, camping unintentionally, lost, cold, clinging to hope even as each moment that passes draws the camper close to eternal solitude... and thoughts of one beloved.”

“Quite unlike the opening of the album which is calm, lilting, and quietly gorgeous, 'Once Around the Block' is a riotous rolling good time with energetic upbeat guitar rhythms. 'Once Around' is good again and again, and a dancing party staple for years.
Fantastic!”
