This track was composed some years ago and then remixed by Andy Barber. The song is based on the experience of a woman struggling to reconcile her sexuality with her faith in God. It's a song about opening the soul to the possibilities of love.

The cover picture by Alan Astley perfectly captures the sense of love and longing inherent in the music.
