17. Every Grain Of Sand
(Shot Of Love, 1981)
Death and judgement stalk our hero. They're behiiiiind youuuuu!
Sheryl Crow: "The music to Every Grain Of Sand ebbs back and forth - it's almost a waltz - but the song's great strength is the text: 'Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer' - it's almost Dickensian. I've called him on a couple of occasions to talk about songwriting and he's been amazing. It's like playing tennis with someone who's better than you, it brings your game up."
