The Verdict
The first song on the album, "The Verdict", was inspired by the 1982 film "The Verdict", featuring Paul Newman as an alcoholic attorney making good. Three tracks on the album showed Jackson's affinity for film music: "The Verdict", the atmospheric instrumental "Loisaida", and the closing cut "Heart of Ice" – the latter starting as an instrumental, building slowly in intensity, and joined by harmony voices in the final affirmation of acceptance and hope.
