And it's a friggin' <i>great</i> recording. It's just a touch more mellow than the original Sting recording, and it strikes just the right balance of bittersweet melancholy and genuine acceptance of life as it is, not as we wish it could be. <i>I took a walk alone last night I looked up at the stars Just trying to find an answer in my life I chose a star for me I chose a star for him I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife Something made me smile Something seemed to ease the pain Something 'bout the universe And how it's all connected</i> *sigh* The “Dream Walkin’” album came out in 1997, and it included the wonderful “I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying,” which was not only a Sting cover, it was also a duet with Sting. And it’s a friggin’ great recording. It’s just a touch more mellow than the original Sting recording, and it strikes just the right balance of bittersweet melancholy and genuine acceptance of life as it is, not as we wish it could be.

I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
Just trying to find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me
I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something ’bout the universe
And how it’s all connected

*sigh*
