"Kiss From a Rose" by Seal

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say...
especially if that man is named Kirk, and the thing he's telling
you about is Seal's "Kiss From a Rose." Kirk goes back to the 90s
for a close look at Seal's Grammy-winning, Batman-adjacent
power ballad and finds a song that's much more interesting than
he even remembered. It's an indulgent world of thick
counterpoint, long phrases, harp flourishes, and oboe solos, with
some of the richest vocal arranging this side of a chamber choir.
