The Tower of Learning

http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=TheTowerofLearning

I'm looking for the tower of learning,
I'm looking for the copious prize
I saw it in your eyes, what I'm looking for
I saw it in your eyes, what I'm looking for

I really do fear that I'm dying,
I really do fear that I'm dead
I saw it in your eyes, what I'm looking for
I saw it in your eyes, what will make me live

All the sights of Paris, pale inside your iris
Tip the Eiffel Tower with one glance,
Stained glass cathedrals with one glint
You smashed it with your eyes, what I'm looking for
One blink, and then my heart wasn't there no more

I'm looking for the tower of learning,
I'm looking for the copious prize

This song...

This song is one of the most beautiful that Rufus has ever sung. Many people say that after the song speeds up with more percussion, etc. about halfway through it spoils it. On the contrary, for me it simply improves the song and makes it brilliant and exhilirating. Does anyone else think this or do you think it would have been better off staying serene?

speedy is good

i agree. i like how it speeds up at the 'all the sights of paris' part. it would have been beautiful anyways but there is something exhilarating about the way it suddenly builds up
