rest in peace, elliott!! i'll never forget how excited i was to special order this when it was announced 10 summers ago. when i found out he passed, i played this repetivitely that day. a perfect single.
I might actually prefer this rougher mix to be honest! I had also somehow never heard it before this video, I think the more sparse instrumental serves the melodies quite well. There is something visceral about it that I can't explain
Bet it's not the same now. What's so great about his music is even though I know all his shit I can keep coming back and having new favourites after 15 yrs of loving him. I suspect it will keep happening over and over.
