Octaver – Day 23

Having already picked Pale Blue Eyes a few days ago for a similar topic (or at least one that I sent off in this direction) I guess I had better pick another song as one that never fails to move me.

Tindersticks really know how to write a song that will pull at your emotions. I just love the verse about pumping coins into a pay-phone, just to hear the person on the other end breath because neither of you have anything to say anymore … I guess the mobile phone has just about killed off that heart-break.

If I could tell you now Tell you how I feel I’m putting coin after coin Just to hear you breathe There's so much to leave There's so much to carry around

This includes part of If She’s Torn by Tindersticks from the now unavailable album Live at the Botanique on Tippy Toe Records - tippy 005
