i think this track has aged very well. while social interaction is becoming more abstract and distant (texting/facebook) the singer wants everything to be simpler. he is pleading, emphasized by the repetitive but forceful structure of the song, to a woman he's become infatuated with. all he wants to do is take her to a dinner, or a movie, or even just to share some of each others' favourite records. how well she is receiving the message is not totally clear.
dennis was a very gifted singer. you can hear his hope and frustration in equal parts. check out his solo album Pacific Ocean Blue. this is quite a bit poppier than anything on there, but it has all kinds of the same passionate soul
