Warren Zevon was one of those "unique" songwriters who could touch a tangent of the soul... and it was electricity.....
"When you're all alone
And you need someone
Telephone and I'll come running
Reconsider me, reconsider me.......
If the past still makes you down
Darling, that was then and this is now
Reconsider me, reconsider me.....
And I'll never make you sad again...
'Cause I swear.... that I've changed since then...
And I'll never make you sorry if you try.....
Let's let bygones... be forgotten
Reconsider me,
Reconsider me......
You can go and be what you want to be!
It will be alright if we disagree!
I'm the one who cares, and I hope you'll see-
That I'm the one who loves you
Reconsider me!!
Let's let bygones..... be forgotten......
Reconsider me.... reconsider me.....
No, I'll never make you sad again, cause I swear-
That I've changed since then...
No, I'll never make you sad, if you try......
I loved Warren Zevon because he was an archetype of the "songwriter/singer"- but most of all the player.
I think this is what Stevie was talking about when she said-
"But I like some kind of TIME/LIFE edition,
Tradition, competition...
Being the only thing that I really have to remember
The great singers and the great players"
Good-bye, Warren.... we will miss you.
