well done wino: all my loving, bbc3, 2004

i had to dig way, way deep into the vaults to find something worthy of a "well done wino" post this week. after clearing out the cobwebs of youtube, i managed to find a precious, hidden gem.

"all my loving" is one of my favourite beatles songs. it always struck me as simple, but in amy's hands, the outstanding melody and melancholic lyrics really come to life. the superior quality of her voice in comparison to last week's v fest is extremely depressing, though. it is possible to retrain her voice- hell, cyndi lauper completely lost hers after a year singing joplin and retrained it gloriously- but it will be an uphill battle. perhaps years from now we'll refer to 2008 amy like we refer to 'fat elvis'. shame.
