    Story Behind the Song
    MILO SAYS: "Space Needle has to be Kim's most affecting song, but in my head, I kept hearing it in a bigger production. I asked Kim if I could do something with it, and she sent me a MiniDisc with her original vocal on it. After she heard the version I produced, she decided to re-record her vocal to better suit the fuller setting. Kim not only sings like an angel, but also comes way up there in my Top 10 Human Beings List." KIM SAYS: "When Milo sent me the first version of this with the original vocal, the music was so beautiful that it moved me to tears. While I recorded the new vocal, it moved me to tears. When I heard the final version with the new vocal, it moved me to tears. Milo's gonna make me run out of tears. Thank you Milo."

    I got the inspiration for this song when I took a trip to the Pacific Northwest in 1996. I spent three days puttering around Seattle and Vancouver by myself. It was incredible. There were no compromises. I don't mean that in an Extreme Sports kind of way--but in a "I'm in charge of my life and don't have to do what anyone else wants to do" kind of way.

    Lyrics
    It was a dog's eye view
    Second row, and wondering where he'd gone to
    I still remember a wallflower saying
    Something 'bout a god and lonely girls

    And I sat in the Seattle sun
    Watched the boats roll into harbor
    There were no more reservations
    With the needle covered over in the deep Sound water

    I rode the train to the fairground
    Had to walk another mile
    I took the pictures of a lifetime
    On a promise and a prayer

    Yesterday I walked to Red Square
    From the Neptune through the district
    And I found my independence
    When I talked to a lady who was wiser than her years

    I said, "Love is nothing for you to decide
    Love is natural
    If you've gotta think about it for a while
    You're heart is cynical"

    I'm dreaming of Seattle
    I can hear the boats upon the Sound
    In the center of the city, they found
    An empty red metal heart
