I've only ever heard this played once before and that was a long time ago - virtually forgotten! And I didn't even recognise the artist. Until last night.. my god! A good friend of mine dropped this into one of his mixes - I could not believe what I was hearing! I've said it before and I'll say again.. there are just some songs that give you so much pleasure and pain at the same time. This is one of them. So, so lovely. Thanks for the post Captn! ;)
