There's a great guitar behind the vocal that doesn't eclipse it, but whose excellence can still be heard. This is a very polished band all around, and it shows. Well-produced, with a good lead and backup vocals, this is one that will be played over and over again. This song is one of the reasons to listen all the way through the 2 CD set. Another lyrical success, Barriers fits the Unite theme well.
Love CAN break down all the barriers .
The strings following the melody line add a nice touch, and Steven Courtney 's vocal is strong and clear. This is beauty in simplicity. Wonderful lyrics, and a fantastic haunting melody. Velvet Temple 's Shift takes a little getting used to. This is very good classic rock and roll, and Velvet Temple 's guitarist is top drawer.
