This is experimental musically and surreal lyrically as if he wrote after suffering jet lag. It reminds me of the bizarre appearance of reality when you suffer from sleep deprivation or have a fit of extreme sanity. The over all effect is pleasing with regret and self-deprecation mixed in nicely. I ...

I love this song as I do all of 'The Juliet Letters'. The despair of not being able to make your feelings clear. Words fail and sometimes that very fact can make you lose everything. The desperation is so beautiful in this song and makes you see the sorrow of love can be as satisfying in song as the...

Oooh Laughing Crow-that's one of my favorites!! As for the song at hand. . It, to me, is both silly-the seance part but deeper than that. It's the supernatural element of love not time, space nor death itself can part those who love each other. It's also illustrates the urgency of communicating thos...

Elvis covers Allen Toussaint! Lovely, sultry, simple and sensual delivery, as great of a songwriter Elvis is he is humble enough to pick others songs or perhaps proud enough of his amazing vocals to know which ones will showcase them! A wonderful song to discover on the 'Blood and Chocolate' bonus d...

This is a hated cover but I love it so much. I love the movie too. Louis Jourdan, not a singer but oooh la la, more talks than sings through it. To hear it sung by Mr. Costello is such a treat and it's perhaps too sentimental for some. Yet discovering you love someone that you've known for a long ti...

One of his most openly heartfelt songs that illustrates the excruciating pain of rejection and finding out the one you can't live without can live very happily with someone else. At the point of course that you still have hope and want them back! Yet there is the acknowledgment of it being truly ove...

I think he was after an 'Only the Lonely' over all feel. It's classic and timeless but not for everybody. I love it. Shades bossa nova pep-'Impatience' after listening to the pacing on 'Too Blue' I'm beginning to think that Elvis listens to Mel Torme as much as I do. If you don't have the bonus song...

OLD friend?!? RATS! You turn 30 and lose all your girlish charm. Hi to you Bobster. The request was five but I can come up with more if the situation becomes dire. Why some of my favorite poetry comes from plaster saints that suffered! Instead I'll put my two cents in about 'North' and leave the mor...

Hello Bambooneedle. Off topic : When an Australian comments on 'your glow' is it a good thing? Artists are whatever they wish. All I ask is that they are honest about their impact and don't simply say they aren't role models as if that casts off responsibilty. To blame creativity for amoral or boori...

You must concur that temptations are increased with talent and/or celebrity. Everyone has a responsibility to behave and consider others but it's heightened when you have a louder voice because of fame. Some celebrities are very dim and yet we, bidden and unbidden, hear their views on every subject....

There is no excuse for cruelty on any level. If you have the advantage of talent and intellect there is an added responsibility to self and others. But human frailty is the curse of us all and we fail but we should never give in or make it a path we take. I suppose having your weaknesses on display ...

This is one of my favorites for personal and not so personal reasons. The sense of hopelessness the exquisite sorrow of unrequited love. It all hangs on the lead not knowing how to bring it together and perhaps the impossibly of the whole thing weighing down on him. It's a wonderful accompaniment to...
Now who is getting excited? I was just teasing you A Rope Leash, though you are welcome. I can only say you are entitled to you opinion and every source of power and authority should be questioned. You are, however, mistaken-but Catholic apologetics don't appeal to me on an Elvis Costello message bo...

Pangloss is punished for every philosophy. Voltaire would have given Pollyanna syphilis! I never thought of the Locke connection even though Pangloss' senses are ravished. Interesting. . .Pangloss used his senses quite a bit though. That's how the trouble starts or is it? So than there is no need to...
