A lady whose last song 'Fade Away' was a big Cross Rhythms hit last year, now returns with her reading of a Peter Gabriel song, and this really is a maxi-single, because there's no less than eight versions of the song, with some voice over intros, and one track with the lass talking about why and how she decided to record the song. Of the various mixes, it's a toss up between the "AC" and "hop" mixes; the latter gets my vote, but only just. As for the song itself, it's a brooding opus that talks about a person searching for truth and true love, and finding it in God. It might be interesting to know what made Mr. Gabriel write the song; whatever his reasons, he's crafted a strong yet thoughtful piece of music, and Jill does its full justice.

This like so many others is an underrated , under played well done piece of work. I personally would be intimidated by a Peter Gabriel song(to do a remake) ...However , this was a perfect fit for Jill and her producer.
