Comments for Over The Rhine, Patience

Originally released on their own label, but re-released byIRS when they signed them, with only minor changes totrack order and packagaing.

My boyfriend bought this CD for the incredible old man cover in a 2nd hand CD store here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It sat on the CD shelf at his cottage until one night I was alone there, and took the plastic off to see what surprises might be inside. Though most of the CD didn't fit my musical tastes, I discovered one of the most intensely beautiful songs I have ever heard in "Rhapsodie". It is truly transcendent. Try looking out the cottage window at the moon, playing this song for your loved one, maybe with a fire (optional- doesn't affect the incredibleness of the song). It changed our lives. It also expresses something about love that seems inexpressable. I also adore "Little Genius". Rhapsodie made it to our wedding CD of favourite songs, and may be the favourite. I've never known anyone else that's heard of it, so if you do love it, know that we're out there, appreciating it with you. - Tammy
