19 - Elvis Costello - I Want You

Talking about shivers up my spine… I Want You was instrumental in making me realize that sometimes imperfection or dissonance can be a good thing. That guitar solo… illustrates the agony so well. Never realized this song was 6:50 long!

    Ha ha ha ha! While you were posting this, my wife was exposing my band’s bass player to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiOmhOumh-w) version. Silly synchronicity! Then the conversation devolved into a cage match between the Attractions and the Imposters.

    Enjoy your blog, I do, and will get back into it myself as a result of yours and Albatross’ writings. Thanks!
