A beautifully delivered song, Meat's voice so restrained, and perfectly placed in the album imo.
A clean and utterly poignant love song .. the simplicity of the arrangement and Meat's voice, deep, gentle and impassioned, gradually moving to a crescendo and finally dying away convey such a profound sense of loss. It is simply beautiful, its understatement just serving to emphasise its depth. Rings more true than any other I've heard, and wraps itself completely round my heart. Simple, gentle, minimal, Meat's right there singing softly into your ear .. To me one of the finest love songs he's ever recorded.
I have no interest in who recorded it before .. Meat makes it his own, makes it Patrick's perfect moment of loss, and imo it's stunning.
Gets a 10+++ from me also .. and gets repeated many times.
