You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see

what the hell is this

That doesn't rhyme with tree/me/see! (Also discussed on this fine thread: Lyrical Cliches You Can't Stand )

"Inject your soul with liberty, it's free" sadly underrated, but no surprise given such an embarrassment of riches

But, sadly, no rework of "Sarajevo" or "I Just Shot John Lennon" on this.

And the PR is happy to tell you re the album cover:

I hope it was the same couch.

Fun fact: the next album that Bruce Fairbairn produced after this was Elegantly Wasted by INXS. Both Hutchence and Fairbarn would be dead within a couple of years, the latter being found dead by Jon Anderson while working on a Yes project.

And his last full production was for some shitty swing revival band, I guess

x-post:

...and of course Fairbairn produced New Jersey, for those that didn't know.

At the time he passed away he apparently was going to team up with Bob Rock for another Bon Jovi production. I'm assuming this would have been the LP that became Crush?
