“Anything You Want”
Live at the Parish, 10/13/2008

And here’s the real thing. This song is a perfectly crafted miniature, with just enough rich detail and emotional nuance to suggest an entire novel’s worth of plot and characterization. The bits that hit the hardest are so understated, as when he wonders “If you and me are so right, then why is it the same thing every night?” The moment feels true because it’s so fleeting in the song — the thought comes, but it’s too painful to dwell on for too long.

“if there’s anything you want/come on back ‘cause it’s all still here” - one of my favorite first lines of any song ever recorded.
