Made a mini-mix of pop-songs that involve the words "I Want You". These songs are awesome to listen to because they deal with desire, lust and obsession - gotta love it!
Apparently was written as UK dance-duo Moloko was on the cusp of breaking up as a couple and as a band. Really dig the disco-y, YMO vibes in this one but it doesn't hide the longing in Roisin Murphy's voice.
Needed to add in some Marvin too. Those chords and the combo of those vocal harmonies makes me shiver. If there ever was a chord progression for longing and desire, it's in this song.
Speaking of brooding, just watch her face as she sings. Haunting. Great accompanying by the band but god, such a brave performance from Fiona Apple.
Crazy riff. I couldn't make a "I want you" mixtape without throwing this one in!
Cool little Jeff Buckley cover by Kylie Auldist and South-Pacific Antipodean soul-funk band The Bamboos. Ouch. Throbby.
Here's something a bit more contemporary from Cali-surf-pop-fuzz-girl-group rockers Best Coast. I love the light and shade in the song. In fact, if you ever want an album of unrequited love songs, buy the Best Coast album.
