And I Think Of You

I don't care for parts of this video, and the pianist is not Tanita Tikaram but this video seems to fit here, at this moment.

I do not remember how I stumbled upon Tanita Tikaram. Most likely I saw a video of hers on MTV or VH1 many years ago. She had four or five songs I absolutely loved and then she sort of disappeared. On YouTube Fugue you can see the other Tanita Tikaram videos that I enjoy. "Twist In My Sobriety," "Cathedral Song," and "Good Tradition" are my favorite Tanita songs.

It turns out "And I Think of You" is an "old" Italian song. Frank Sinatra, of course, has sung it. But between Frank Sinatra and Tanita Tikaram there is no comparison. This song was written for Tanita Tikaram.



And I Think of You, Tanita Tikaram

... and I think of you, when I see a meteor on a starry, starry night. But I think of you during the most mundane of activities, like washing dishes.
