In the last 8 weeks, I've had the rather ignonymous duty as serving as sounding board for 3 friends who's marriages that have very recently broken up. Also, I've been an impartial observer to a long term relationship that recently hit the skids as well. I think it's been a tough year all around for matters of the heart.
I loved, Loved, LOVED this version when I initially saw it. The great Todd Rundgren, Live From Daryl's house, with a crack band, and two blue-eyed Philly soul men at the peak of their powers.
I've been trying for a while now to find a way to slide this song in here without being maudlin. It's honest, earnest, & truthful - it's everything what a perfect pop song should be; Unbelievable background vocals, true artists flexing their creative muscles, and showing the rest of us poor schlubs the real meaning of craft & taste. All while singing about something as horrible as heartbreak & loss. Sometimes though, heartbreak & loss can create beautiful things. This must be one of them.
Awesome. Just awesome.
