Not because he has a voice like Wings-era McCartney. Not because he is praised not only by McCartney himself, but by Elvis Costello, Chris Difford, Elton John, and many other greats. Not because he has put out over a dozen amazing albums since 1995 and still hasn't achieved the international fame he deserves. But because he writes lyrics like this:From the ashes of a broken home
I sent a message to the great unknown
And through the music on the radio
You came to set me free
This is how I know you hear me
This is how I know our trials are not in vain
This is how I know we'll rise and love again
This is how I know
This is how I know
"This Is How I Know," from Exit Strategy of the Soul
(Now if only I had a Canadian cell service provider, I could download a ringtone of that song.)
