You need someone lookin' after you

"Stop Draggin My Heart Around" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I think it should be one of yours too (if it's not already). Let's take a few moments to watch the genius of Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty together in this video.

Stevie Nicks - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around

I love old videos. There's always a "meh, this take is good enough" feel to them. Stevie's, um, not quite on track with her lip syncing (this has nothing to do with the drugs, I'm sure) but she's enchanting nonetheless. This is a very simple song to play on guitar and really fun to sing with someone.

While we're on the subject of duets by Stevie and Tom, a much more obscure but still gorgeous one is "Insider" from his excellent album Hard Promises. Some of the harmonies and lyrics in this song make me want to cry, in the best possible way.
