Haven't heard this one before. Only heard the last bit, so I won't rate it yet, but I diiiiiiig Morphine. Reminds me a bit of "Underwater Boys", which is kinda funny, given the album cover.

I too love the horns. But it's kind of nice to hear the texture of Mark's voice, unobscured by them.

I usually love Morphine, especially that bone-jarring honking baritone sax, but this one just doesn't do it for me. Bring back the sax, I say :)

I quite like it. I wouldn't mind hearing this in the rotation more often.

Had this album for 5 years before I heard this song at the end of it. Married the woman I heard it with. It matches her perfectly.
