Watching the show I get these moments where I know the song, but don't remember title or artist until the chorus.
This is one of them:
This is one of them:
This performance By Elvis Costello is Epic. I have never failed to get goose bumpse when he says "I want him to hurt".
I don't know How Burt Bacharach does it, But he always manages to get the best performances from the singers.

That's a wicked soundtrack.. and Olivia is a sweetheart. Don't blame you in the least
I've been on a Beethoven trip lately. The 6th is underrated!
What I love about the 6th is that it foreshadows the Romantic era of music. Beethoven was certainly a Classical era composer, who was learned in the form of the great master Haydn. I think that as Beethoven started to lose his hearing, it made a profound change in his compositions. You can hear the future of composers like Wagner, Schuman, and Dvorak. What Brillance the 6th is.
When you brought up this piece it reminded me of another. I think you will hear Beethoven's influence on Rossini in the very popular piece.
But I want you to do a thought experiment with it, because there are so many connotations with this piece, because of its popularity in movies and tv. I want you try to forget everything you know about this piece, and try to think of yourself living when it was first performed. Imagine that you are treating your significant-other out for a night of entertainment and you are going to see this work never having heard it before.
To this day it still puts goose bumps on my arms.
