An absolutely glorious CD. Some familiar songs and some new ones that are beyond gorgeous. I love "You're Still You" with the sweetly seductive feeling he creates. "Alejate" is as fabulous as on his other CDs, "Broken Vow" done live in concert always makes me cry he sings it so tenderly and his perfect tone continues to amaze and astound my ears. Josh's exquiste delivery of each song is always a revelation.

"When you say you love me" gets to the inner heart space where longing lives. His exquisite, lilting voice literally shimmers as he flows effortlessly up and down the scale of notes and you feel like you too can fly as he lifts you upward to that incomparable sense of freedom. "Per Te" and "Mi Morena" (live) two gorgeous and familiar songs delivered as only Josh can sing them with his deep understanding of the potent emotions that are conveyed in other languages.

"With you" has achingly beautiful lyrics, sung with sweet sincerity in perfect tone with the orchestral instruments that back him on this song and creates a sense of longing to achieve this sort of feeling in one's own life. I love the special orchestral FX on this song in particular.
Finally, "My Heart was home again" I love the celtic feeling and the poetry of this heartrendering song. As always his performance is stunningly, achingly beautiful. No one can compare to his magnificence. He is in a class of his own. 5 zillion stars for this artist. Truly, Josh reigns!

Although I've heard and enjoyed a few of Josh Groban's songs on the radio, this was the first CD I bought. I made the mistake of listening to it for the first time while driving and his voice is so rich and lush that I had to resist closing my eyes to listen. His talent is such you almost melt while listening to his music.

It is difficult to reconcile such a mature voice from such a young man, especially given his ability to deliver the songs in such a heartfelt and meaningful way. I've listened to nothing else on my one hour (each way) commute for the past two days since purchasing the CD, with You're Still You and Broken Vow still my favorites. The Broken Vow was sung so flawlessly that I was stunned to discover it was recorded live when I heard the applause at the end. I plan to buy his other CD's, as this one was an appetizer that has left me wanting to hear more.

This CD has some of his most popular pieces. For the first time listeners, this would be a wonderful start to a collection. I have all his CD's but still am happy I bought this. One never gets tired of listening to his beautiful voice.

First let me say that this CD is EXCELLENT. However, it's only good for people not familiar with Josh. I would give it a 5 for them. As a whole, this CD is recycled material that big Josh fans already have, hence the overall 3 rating. Out of the 8 songs, there's really only 2 that are new. Just seems like another marketing ploy from Hallmark (think Michael Buble last year) to get folks to buy more cards. If you like this CD, be sure to buy Josh's other material, not just a Hallmark release.

I happened to buy this directly at the Hallmark Gold Crown store at the mall where I work. I had just read an article on his message boards a few days prior saying that they had this album on sale only at Hallmark. Well, being that I'm an avid fan of his, I just HAD to check it out. The first 6 songs are just a taste of what this great man has accomplished over the past five years or so. He picked some exquisite songs for this collection. The song With You was written by Josh himself. I love it to death! It has the most beautiful arrangement and of course that velvety rich voice laced in with a gorgeous piano and, of course, his amazing falsetto! My Heart was Home Again is absolutely incredible! For me, it was like hearing Josh that very first time. The lyrics were so beautiful and vivid; one could envision what it was he was singing. His voice was top notch in this song as well. I could tell easily that his voice is maturing beautifully. This is a beautiful CD. I recommend this to lovers all over the world and to anyone who wants to hear a pure voice of gold.

This young man has an absolutely amazing voice! I have been a fan since 2001 and he just gets better. This CD is available at Hallmark stores for Valentine's Day. I bought it although I have his other CD's and 6 of the songs are on some of the other CD's. The two new songs are worth the price of the CD. They are wonderful! I play them every night when I go to bed. I fall asleep to his beautiful music. I recommend it very highly.

I was hesitant to buy this album when I found it at Hallmark back around Valentine's Day. I already owned all but 2 of the songs on other albums and had a hard time justifying spending the money on a 2 song gamble, but I really enjoy Josh Groban's music, so I finally caved and bought it. I was very glad I did. Not only does it contain a beautiful live version of "Broken Vow" (one of my favorites), but it also has a wonderful new song called "My Heart Was Home Again" that I absolutely love. Not only is the melody light and sweet, but the lyrics are visual and poetic. My favorites are "Camels sail like wooden ships, like women on the Strand." and "Taxis line up like a string of pearls around the block again." It is rare that lyrics are worth listening to at all, much less savor.

Though 6 of 8 appears in the Josh Groban's three albums, the bonus 2 are really really worthy of the price (not here). Both are touching and make you feel warm.

Another fantastic CD from Josh Groban! There's only two new songs but they make the CD worth the price. Josh Groban fans will really enjoy this.

This is a wonderful CD!!! A must have for any Josh Groban collection. I cried the first time I listened to it. He just convies so many emotions through his music. Magical!!
