Album: The Days of Wine and Roses
Year: 1982
“Tell Me When It’s Over” was the single. “Halloween” was the one that everybody covered. The title track was the one that shamelessly stole from “Tombstone Blues,” but my favorite song from The Days of Wine and Roses is “Then She Remembers”.
Hell, it’s practically my favorite song of the 1980s, if not ever.
Not for the words, which I’ve never actually known outside of the chorus — Steve Wynn screams them in such a way that I had no idea they were about an abuse survivor until I looked the lyrics up on the internet for this post — but for the ungodly exquisite noise The Dream Syndicate makes throughout.
