The Precisions – What I Want

Generally I use this category for newer releases, but after working for quite some time getting that Dale Warren special together, I haven’t listened to much newer music in the last couple of weeks. Instead, pretty much from the moment I discovered it, I’ve been obsessed with this track Dale Warren recorded with the Detroit group The Precisions. Like so many of the tracks that have a bit of Warren’s feel, there’s a dark, almost bittersweet element to the way the strings roll out at the start, along with that single note playing of the piano throughout the first verses. Lyrically the song is just about perfect, both as a declaration of the kind of love we all desire and a recognition that often when we fall, we don’t always get what we want or expect.
