I think it's so funny that they would put that distorted bit in there just so it wouldn't get radio friendly. It doesn't strike me as being true, but its funny anyways :) I too think this is the best song on the album just because of it's raw emotion. The distortion bit half way is kind of nervous and harsh but it's fitting somehow, just because love can be painful when it is so real it hurts because you don't want to believe its overwhelmingness (is that a word)
Love makes me want to speak in continuous proese like Kerouac. This song along with Vancouver, and maybe his rendition of Dylan's "Farewell Angelina" are my all time favourite Buckley tunes. by the way Vancouver should be ranamed to "London" when he had a fling with Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins, he simply used the instrumental of vancouver to sing the lyrics of his romance with Elizabeth.
I have a friend here in Taiwan who like American pop rock, but only the "sweet" kind. I felt a need to have him listen to this tune. He said, "I liked most of it, but what was the deal with that bit in the middle where it got all noisy?" And I explained that, to my thinking, the toying with primal chaos, daring that chaos to charge out and get mud all over your pretty little song, that is what typifies the best of rock'n'roll.

The Taiwanese eat something they call "臭豆腐"; "Stinky Tofu". They innoculate the tofu with a bacteria and let it rot for some length of time. Then they deep fry it and serve it with spicy sauce and cilantro and basil and whatnot.
I tell the Taiwanese: "The Taiwanese like their tofu stinky and their music sweet. Americans like their tofu sweet and their rock'n'roll stinky."

Thanks for that bit about "radio friendly".
