I just love this song. Not only does Mark Lanegan have an awesome first name, he’s also got a great voice. But what I really love about this song is the organ solo that kicks in just after the two minute mark. It’s one of my favourite musical moments.
The first time I heard this song, I remember I was at a friend’s house and we were playing Mario Kart on the Game Cube. When I heard it, it just grabbed me and I stopped everything I was doing and just listened to it. I didn’t even try to pause the game.
Now, whenever this I hear this song with friends, it’s kind of become a running joke that there’s a kind of build up and then we just stop whatever we’re doing (which is usually playing Nintendo) during the organ part and then carry on.
I close my eyes every time I hear it.
