Tindersticks - Curtains

The Tune for Today is:

Tindersticks - Another Night In

Greed's all gone now, there's no question 
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears 
Regain your balance 
Doesn't matter where she is tonight 
Or with whoever she spends her time 
If these arms were meant to hold her 
They were never meant to hold her so tight 
For the love of that girl 
Greed's all gone now, the panic subsides 
When I could run, pulling arms to love her 
Try to put myself on on the inside 

For the love of that girl 
Tears swell, you don't know why 
For the love of that girl 
They never fall, they can never run dry 
For the love of that girl 

Promise is never over, never questioned it needed reply 
But she could breathe deep into my neck 
Let me know I'm just on the outside 

(chorus) 

Greed's all gone now, there's no question 
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears 
Regain your balance 
Doesn't matter where she is tonight 
Or with whoever she spends her time 
If these arms were meant to hold her 
They were never meant to hold her so tight 

Reviem by Stephen Thomas Erlewine (allmusic)

Curtains finds Tindersticks exploring the same dark, string-drenched territory as their first two albums, and while it shares a surface similarity with its predecessors, there are subtle differences that make it a rewarding listen. The tone of Curtains is slightly brighter than that of the second album, with the songs unfolding into lush, affecting laments that recall Scott Walker at his finest. Though the sound is seductive, what is most impressive about Curtains is the songwriting. The Tindersticks have become more assured writers, letting the songs gradually develop into intimate epics. Stuart Staples' lyrics are similarly textured and subtle, with alternating layers of pathos and humor. Curtains, in many ways, functions as the culmination of what The Tindersticks set out to accomplish with their first two albums, and the results are appropriately stunning.
