For the Song Hall... "Love Sick" by Bob Dylan
One of Bob's more recent songs... well, over 10 years old now... from the Time Out of Mind album. I love the way this song feels, and the subject matter. A great song about obsessive love, unrequited love.
I read something interesting about it, it's "Visions of Johanna" for an old man... "while the young man of 40 years previously sits in his attic musing on his sad life without the woman he watches, the old man in Love Sick finds after all these years the feelings are even worse. The singer descends into darkness and the chord sequence descends with him."
song hall of fame,
