...Said Sadly appreciation thread
More and more it's becoming my favorite James song. All the best James flavors come together: the country-western guitar noodling, the strange song structure that somehow feels absolutely right, the truly cheesy yet somehow deeply affecting lyrics, and a world-class emotional crescendo near the end
And wow, that Nina Gordon! Who would've guessed their voices would blend so sweetly Anyone else has appreciated this one?? |

It's great, but it never stuck with me. Probably feels the least like an SP song out of all the MCIS / TAFH tracks. Which is odd, because it's definitely not the weirdest...

It's a magical little song. I remember being amazed at how a band could put two good songs as different as Bullet and Sadly on a two-song single. Perhaps this is where Billy's fixation with "lover" began ....

James' tracks were always more artfully arranged and IMO stand up better now that we're all adults. I put this on quite a few mix tapes for friends back in the day |

Tied with "Go" for my favorite James song. It made me happy that Billy said he thought it was James' best song in TAFH liner notes.

I remember an interview with Billy from 5 years ago where he was saying that James was really into Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown at the time of recording Mellon Collie. Was alt country hip in 94/95?
Love Said Sadly, but imo, the version of One & Two that's on the Mellon Collie boxset is James at his best. |
