I think of this track as sort of “now”. It was actually eleven years ago. When you’re a teenager, eleven years is a huge chunk of your life. Obviously, as time goes on, eleven years becomes a smaller and smaller proportion. So for me, this record is “now”. The reason for playing it, apart from its Grammy-winning brilliance, is that a regular listener pointed out that it should have been in Friday’s list of No.1 singles where the title is never sung. Of course it should.
As we get older, the concept of “now” gets longer…
