The great Al Stewart, "Antarctica"

I love the story he told to introduce the song. It went something like this:
"One day I was at my home and then there was a knock at the door. I opened up the door and found a tall figure with a large hat that had a feather sticking out of it. I asked him who he was and he said he was a metaphor. I said "you're very tall for a metaphor" and he replied "Well, I'm an extended metaphor." He then asked me if I could give him a home. He said life without a home is like wandering the antarctic looking for love. So I decided to put him in a song that compared the failed explorations of the antarctic to finding love."

3. My Wife Just Got Off The Phone With Her Friend In Denver

She told my wife it was cold, too. It's a balmy 7 degrees here. Supposed to be minus 6 by 8 tomorrow morning.

2. Really Good Song

I really like the counterpoint of that clavinet part running around the guitar. It adds size to the song. Then, there's a flute solo. Finally, the guitar player's tone reminds me of West-Oram, from The Fixx. They're one of my favorite bands ever.
I really enjoyed it.
