TATTYD is one of my favorite FM tunes with KILLER guitar. A feast for riffers. John might hate it (and, if so, he's wrong, sorry John!) but everyone plays beautifully on it. I love the concise, two-line lyric. We don't need more than that. "Coming Your Way," "Child of Mine," and "Bare Trees" are similarly terse. "Station Man" and "Like it This Way" aren't much more expansive. And this is one of the things I loved about Danny's incredible contributions to the band's songbook: it's the instrumentation that gets center stage. Those tunes are extremely hummable--as opposed to commercial. And they allow the band to open up a bit more. Christine's organ and electric keyboard work on "Child of Mine," for instance, is rad, as is Mick's drumming and John's propulsive bass...
I digress. As all of you were, which was...where again? I forgot.
