No Substitute - By Vinnie Vincent
The initial calling out (like the feeling has built up long enough), could it be like one holding their breath waiting for that perfect moment to say what should be said? This song says a lot and yet we know nothing of the object of his desire. We don't know her name or why she is so hard to reach. Does she have a heart afraid of breaking? Is she even aware of her own inner beauty and that she is worthy of his love? Maybe she has never known true love. Is she hiding in her high rise office building or self imposed locked away in a witch's tower. This is the perfect song of love, it tells of the perfect fairy-tale, a gentleman longing to win the trust and love of someone afraid to " come out of the shadows ", to love and to be loved. The release of tension going into the solo, is like the first breath of fresh air after being lock away in a stale room with no light. The vocal harmonies really build on that feeling of the door opening and the light coming in,
