I love 'Blue Sky' and loved it from the moment I heard it, the way it's sung, to me feels like it has come from the heart and is a genuine performance rather than an over-perfected studio version that loses some of that emotion. Sure Meat's voice has changed over the years and, no, he doesn’t sound like he did on Bat Out Of Hell, but I wouldn’t want him to. His voice reflects maturity, wisdom and emotion. It suits the theme of the album and is the voice of a man who can tell wonderful stories through song.
