"The Vital Thing" by Swing Out Sister

Rachel  update 11-Feb-2017:  Just thinking how funny life is!  When I made this post over five and a half years ago, I had NO clue I would one day own and wear a pair of shoes with heels that were "spiking and five inch".  LOL!

Just listening to this song for like the bazillionth time right now and it still literally sends chills down my spine.  The saxophone is just so sexy and the little snippets like:  "The heel was the vital thing you see.  The heel was... had to be spiking and five inch..."  It's so ethereal and sensual!

To Corrine and Andy and all the folks who have helped and worked with you, I can never thank you enough for all of the beautiful and wonderful music you have created!  You have made an incredible difference in my life!

The words and music you have written, have touched me so deeply and brought me so much joy.  In addition, the trips I made to San Francisco to see you live at Bimbo's 365 Club were some of the best trips of my life.  I love you!

Another wonderful Swing Out Sister song. This song was the inspiration for the name of this blog, because music is my vital thing.
