Down-hearted

This has to be one of the best one-off pop singles ever recorded. A beautiful title, the Moby avant-la-lettre beat and sampling, the late-night bar piano in the middle part. They make B.B. King fit so well, surprisingly so in a 90s pop song. One-hit wonders will never cease to amaze me, I have not heard any other tracks by this band, but they are - supposedly - notoriously out of step with this song. I don't think I will ever want to spoil the magic.
