... kdaj odprli usta, ko bi bilo bolje, če bi bila ostala zaprta?
Tule je ena izmed najlepših in najbolj inteligentno spisanih ljubezenskih žalostink, kar jih je ustvarila sodobna glasba. To je eden redkih - in zato tako zelo dragocenih - trenutkov, ko pop-glasba postane čista umetnina, ko se zaveda svojih izraznih sredstev (in ne koraka v teritorije, kamor ne spada - recimo v poezijo) in iz njih potegne maksimum.

„Message from Home“

I hope you kept the note
That I left for you to read
Or did you throw it away
For passers-by to stop and see?
And nothing can account for reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been?

Now the leaves are off the trees

And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been?

And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been?
