Tango In The Night: Final Round!

[LindseyChick]

Okay, I'll bite. Haven't been here in a while but isn't the title song best? "...I keep the dream in my pocket, never let it fade away, inside and outside, no loneliness in this place....THEN I REMEMBER....when the moon was full and bright and I would take you in the darkness and do the tango in the night...TAAANNGGOOOOO..." I've always wondered if he held that note that long or if it was a recording trick.

GOD I love that lyric. Esp the dream in the pocket part, he is talking about Stevie isn't he? This is by far the beast track on the cd and one of Lindsey's best of all time.

The vocal . . . I don't want to say effects, but the use of the vocal to enhance the lyrics is so striking on TITN. I mean, the "I remember" part is low, a bit husky and then the voice rises to "I would take you in the darkness". By the time you get to the "Tango -o-o-o" part it's a call or a cry. The voice makes the lyrics feel like a memory, that's part pain, part passion. Lust and loss.

Enchanting. Pair that song with the tropical album cover and I really like the sultry result: I can easily visualize the warm, entropic tangos in the night.

I picked Isn't It Midnight...just because I think LL is overplayed so much esp at that time. I think when I saw the Mask tour I got to hear both those songs live....but when Dance came around I don't think either one were played so at least I did get to hear them live than.....
