Walls and Bridges or B*lls and Wedgies?

Punchy, crunchy production lifts this one from the ordinary.
Also, a hard and uncompromising bit self-recognition from The Man himself.

I like it.
It is a bit Phil "The Mad-Haired Murdering Lunatic" Spector now you mention it though.

One of the more subtle, less Yackety Sax moments from Bobby Keys there.

I always think I like this one but I've always lost interest in it by the end.
I think it's the reverb-happy production.

Overproduction done shamelessly right.

I think it's more to do with the fact the verse parts are so lovely and then he goes off into a literal reverie and the song's integrity loses the plot.

I believe he heard it chanted in a dream and wrote it down the moment he woke up.
It's not derived from any 'human' language.
