10. the treasures, "hold me tight"
why here? "heart of rome fades very fast and the concussive opening of "hold me tight" shoots the gap.
why this song? in terms of production technique, this is my favorite phil spector song -- i could only imagine how brilliant it sounded on am radio. the echo is such that the song doesn't seem to be coming from an external source; rather, it seems to be playing directly inside your head, the perfect place for such an exquisite, swoonsome song to be heard.
