oh man one of my EC favorites

I love this song
the lyrics are slick

the poison rose that you wear at your best
that I keep pressed between the white sheets
where you lie half undressed

the simple piano, brushed drums and big upright bass

the night club smokey feel

classic

Let Them All Talk

The tempo changes are great. It opens with a pounding fast beat that then smooths out into the first verse.

Saw this guy on the Secret Policeman's Ball 2006 on the telly the other day and he cracked me up.
