A Shot In The Dark

Annie “Tubes Stops and Lonely Hearts”

It took me a little while to notice that this song is called “Tube Stops and Lonely Hearts” and not “Tube Tops and Lonely Hearts,” which I think would be a much different sort of song. Tube stops is great, though – that context adds a lot to the song, which sounds more and more like someone feeling anxious and tired on the way home, and impatiently waiting to just get home already because the longer they’re stuck in this limbo, the more they’re trapped in their mind as emotions and thoughts and fears spiral around. Annie gets this across very well without going too far – despite the angst, this still has a touch of lightness and sexiness to it.
