I posted this song way back in the early days of the blog and thought that it deserved another airing. I read once, somewhere that the album that Lay Your Head Down came from and the song in particular was described by one critic as music to kid on you are making sophisticated casual sex to. I have no idea what sophisticated casual sex is but I suppose that with some soft lighting and the appropriate amount of alcohol the album could be conducive to getting it on to, not that I have ever put it to the test. I just think that it is a rather lovely album. This song is particularly gorgeous and has the ghost of the Velvet Underground all over it.

I do love this tune, and think it is rather 'romantic' (not that I've ever put it to the test).

Not heard it before and like it very much. Maybe I'll put it to the test...
I know this song from a H&M-commercial. Like it much. Think I'll give this song a chance ...
What a lovely song. Very Nico/Mazzy Star sounding. This is the reason I visit The Kitchen Table most nights..
I have no idea what 'sophisticated casual sex' is either. I'm pretty sure that when I was much, much younger I only ever had the unsophisticated kind.
Back home for two days, this is the first song I get the chance to hear coming out of decent speakers from quite a while and yes, it's very beautiful. Being alone (the rest of the family is still on holiday) I won't test it, and given that the wife is not interested in this kind of music, it will be the stuff of solitary pleasures (musical, I mean..).
Luca.
