Some songs are just a groove. And God‚ what a groove this is. Chan Marshall and her band take Dylan's exclamation of faith and give it a hard‚ slashing guitar riff‚ douse it with echo that slaps you in the face‚ and then bring the beat down with sledgehammer confidence. You can almost see Marshall strutting and preening around the mic as her voice reaches for the exposed nerves in her heart. The most powerful track on an album that embodies longing with brawn and tenderness‚ classic songs and dark‚ raw soul.

I love this song. Thought it was my favorite on the album, but I think "Song for Bobby" takes it. It's a great follow up to this killer rendition of Dylan's tune, and then she channels him in her own song about him. And I can tell... yeah, she feels it as much as I do. As much as a lot of people do.
Also, like "I Believe In You," the production is so well done. You're sucked in and then the drums sprinkle in at about 1:30, but they never erupt. It's delicate and bad ass at the same time. Meow!
