Today I’m going to ask you to listen to two songs: “More than Words” by Extreme (below) and – in the next post – “Gentle on My Mind” by John Hartford. (Although Glen Campbell made this song famous, Hartford wrote the words and music, and I like to hear him sing it.)

The two songs are very different, but they have something in common. More precisely, there’s a line in “Gentle on My Mind” that has a connection to “More than Words.” I’ll be talking about that commonality in a post two days from now.

For now, please just listen to the two songs. I hope you’ll melt just as I always do when I hear them.
