Anytime (you walk into the room) – Abraham Cloud
Check out this rare version of the classic, “Anytime You Walk Into The Room.” This version features Rory Anton , Fren Askin and Lesa MacEwan (who some have called Abraham’s daughter because of her odd magical vocal blend with the writer.). Both Rory and Lesa played with Abraham in The Children of the Milkman band. Lesa hits new heights of ancient delights in her vocal solo , where she relaxes and lets her Irish Wings go sailing. in the essense of vocal beauty. The angst , the longing , the unrequited love is a constant theme in Abraham Cloud music , but it’s never quite as beautiful as here. “You smile away my problems, you laugh away my cash anytime you walk into the room.” Those who witnessed this particular version of the band live have likened it to Arcade Fire in the religious or transcendent feeling it aroused. “One fantasy alone, don’t mean much it’s like an antidote to doing anything embarrassing, anytime you walk into the room. ” You could easily imagine this song behind Katniss Everdeen, in one of the more passionate scenes from the Hunger Games. The odd haunting instrument heard is the 10string Chapman Stick played by Fren. Abraham Cloud sums it all up in the line, “If I could only speak, you’d turn me down and I could get away quick, at least we’d have a secret to keep. “
