Elvis Costello, The Imposters - I Want You (Live/Spectacular Spinning Songbook) 

I went to a book festival in Wales many years ago when the children were small. We were camping 8n some fields above the town that was holding it. I knew he was playing, but couldn't get tickets. Put the kids to bed, and then heard the whole damned performance from half a mile away. All the greats, including this song. Somehow it was even eerier through the twilight, across a river and through the canvas. Just chills

Elvis Costello wrote the greatest most grotesque brilliant heart wrenching unrequited love songs of all time and the only available live performances are either wankery jazz pastiches or with girls in mickey mouse boppers, I'm perplexed!

One of the best songs he ever wrote,IMO. Just pure, raw emotion.If ever there was a song about someone getting their heart ripped out, this would be it. If you wanna see the superb version he and Fiona did of it, check that one out, too.

This song is nasty, dirty, sick, and despicable. I love it.

One of the best heartbreak songs ever.

The first time I heard this song was live, in concert and he was so intense he scared the hell out of me. And I loved it!

the darkest song ever..a smooth intro and a fucked up emotion on the air..rip to love..

Felt that pain

I always imagine someone only hearing the soft introduction and immediately sharing it with their love before they've listened to the rest. If heartbreak made a noise, this is that sound.

Been listening since 1977, as a wee lass of 11 when I discovered it was worthwhile to buy a new album every week with my babysitting coins.

This song is amazing. One of Costello's best, for sure. They used it in the film Only You. A beautiful and painful love story.

This song went deep on m heart yrs and yrs ago

This was my go to song when my ex left me for someone else. It's sick, emotional and desribes very well what goes on inside during a heavy breakup.

Masterpiece

This is a song best sung in a dark cold lonely room. Not meant for an acoustically challenged environment. Breaking my heart because it, as original, is, The. Ultimate.

Elvis Costello , a Legend ! I want you , yes we always want you . What a good Year for the Roses .💕💕💕

Not just a love song...but a lot of anxiety in his voice and sometimes atonic guitar all the frustration is in this song. Never I heard this in a song so original!

Angst ridden ...love it

Adoro ❤

I will cry when I hear this tomorrow night. JTT, you kill me, you really do.

I was lucky to watch his spinning songbook live at Newcastle, some lucky folk went on stage and spun the wheel and had a dance/beer while the band played the song, excellent as always.

I saw him during the spinning wheel tour. FANTASTIC as alwaysl

Damn I love him!

This song should come with some kind of warning. Only listen if you are feeling pparticularly strong today.

This is the greatest life performance ever!

Exactly my feeling right now

Went to 8 of the original dates through upstate New York. Almost picked by Mr. Valentine to be drummer on stage. My friend got recording on a Sony Walkman. Still my favourite artist. I'm a BIG fan of Pete and include dozens of E.C. material in my reportoir

I’m afraid I won’t know where to start❤

Great 👌😊😊 music 🎶🎶🎶 I love you too baby girl I love you too and you can do it yourself

Wow! What a passionate performance!

Damn.

One of the greatest pranks of all time.

You mad bro? i think, after all these years, he's finally feeling anger : ) oh god this left me limp and wrung out and now i can't listen to anything else cause nothing is quite as good
