A Marriage Made in Heaven - Tindersticks featuring Isabella Rossellini

1993 Classic by Tindersticks and Isabella Rossellini - hope you enjoy!

She fell in love with my singing
She knew the bells started ringing
She thought there was only her there
But, me, I just live for the clapping
A hand delivery of an invite to my premiere
When he fell in love, I was acting
I sent her flowers, asked her to marry me
But all I heard was their clapping
Now she cries with a cigarrette at the window
He croons and moans like he's hurting
She cries so well
He croons and moans, just croons and moans
Now, I never thought [i had no idea] she needed direction
And he was at the mercy of his writers
For the songs I needed [for me] to touch her
Those sad, sad songs to make me happy
Now she cries with a cigarrette at the window
He croons and moans like he's hurting
She cries so well
He croons and moans, just croons and moans
We re-enact the love scenes from her/my movies
But I never thought, but she uses a stand-in
His voice is croakier every day now
And she cries so well

Awesome!. The picture is with David Lynch, isn´t it?.

[envioustime]

@TheMossmox indeed it is!

[TheHughLundy]

Only Stuart Staples would be capable of writing a song called a marriage made in heaven and then backing it up with this duet (a true marriage made in heaven). Never mind commericial sucess or fame this is true pop music- classic music, lyrics and voices.The song to fall in love to.

this version with the brass is horrible - i MUCH prefer the original 7" version

[TheEuakour12]

WHAT A SONG!PROUD OF LISTENING THIS MUSIC!

[PascalVillarubias]

Magistral, romantique, d'une élégance folle. Digne des meilleurs duos Hazlewood-Sinatra...

@mangouldbarrington1 cheesy..??? it's the most awesome part of the song...i always turn the volume up full in the car just prior to that trumpet kicking in...never remember any kids programs with such amazing sound

[stiggyh]

i love how creamy rosselinis voice is

[mangouldbarrington1]

I love how cheesy the trumpet riff starts out at 2:36! Sounds like Sesame Street or some childrens program from the 1970's. Major Fail!

[spatulapancakepork]

Trumpet out of nowhere. Friggin awesome.

Please make more music.
