There is no doubt about Seal's talent throught the early 90's. After the success from his first record, Seal, he needed to find a way to duplicate the feel from his first record. With the opening single from his second self-title record, Seal on the line, it was a way to get his soul burning again. Prayer For The Dying is a very dark, soulful song that captures the feel of the artist. Still, it almost sounds as dark as Crazy did from his first record. Still, it was a minor hit, until Kiss From A Rose came along. However, this song is truly for any die hard Seal fan.
