And I need you more than want you

You know when you get a tune stuck in your head that you simply cannot shift... but you can't quite remember it? There's just a half-hummable fraction of it echoing over and over again, just out of your grasp. Well, I've had Witchita Lineman by Glen Campbell in my head for about a year or so - the mystery was finally solved when I heard it on Lauren Laverne's excellent BBC 6 Music radio show. And now I can fully enjoy it. Pure, simple, from the heart, yet understated, this song harks from a diferent time. It's not about being knowing or ironic or cool, just expressing emotions in a direct, honest yet beautiful way. Or something like that.
