I love “Untouchable Face” by Ani Difranco. The delicious heart stab of unrequited love. A low-fi production that matches the setting, a late and lonely night in a low-rent bar/diner.
And then there is the poetry, of Ani, never intellectual but always smart. She transports you to her created scene not by the awesome power of WonkaVision but by imagery.
Word pictures are among her greatest gift as a lyricist: “Neon sign on the horizon, rubbing shoulders with the moon/Save haven of the sleepless/Where the deep fryer’s always on.”
