Dion : That song lyrically came out of a Hank Williams idea. Again, it's just that kind of yin and yang thing, the idea of, 'Everything tells me I should be walking away from this, but there's nothing I can do. You're in my heart.' The guy's really hung up on this girl.
Musically, I was listening to horn players at The Apollo Theatre. And you know; here I am a kid, I buy a kazoo, and I thought I was gonna really wail. ln my head, I was really wailing. When I listen to it today, I laugh, 'cause I wasn't doin' much.
That particular song had a lot to do with passing the synagogue and meeting a cantor and absorbing and digesting some Jewish tradition - actually what happens in the synagogue with the cantors. There's a lot of minor chords. So that kind of got down in me, and I kind of used it.
