'til Tuesday - "Coming Up Close" 
How beautiful is this song? Aimee Mann may have progressed as a songwriter since her 'til Tuesday period, but damn... "Coming Up Close" is hard to top. It just gorgeous.  Anybody else out there love this track? ? ?
Coming Up Close One night in Iowa, he and I in a borrowed car Went driving in the summer, promises at every star Out in the distance I could hear some people laughing I felt my heart beat back a weekends’ worth of sadness There was a farm house that had long since been deserted We stopped and carved our thoughts into the wooden surface We thought just for an instant we could see the future We thought for once we knew what really was important [Chorus] Coming up close Everything sounds like welcome home Come home And oh, by the way Don’t you know that I could make A dream that’s barely half the way come true I wanted to say -- But anything I could have said I felt somehow that you already knew We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape We drove around the fields until it started getting late I went back to my hotel room on the highway And he just got back in his car and drove away [Chorus x2] 
I actually think the entire "Welcome Home" album is pretty damn good. It's a shame that it didn't do so well... but even though it wasn't a hit, it seems alot of people look back at it and realize what a stellar record it is. [Edited 1/3/07 10:21am] | |
