all i want is...

ta mara & the seen - affection

a few years back this song could be found on a good number of my personal homemade cds. its very relatable sentiment has made it one of my theme songs. i recall rediscovering the song during my college years while going through a box of tapes at a friend's house. i didn't realize until much later that ta mara & the seen were part of prince's whole mpls funk/rock scene (i believe they were a protege group of jesse johnson) but the guitar on this cut makes that kinda of obvious. i had never in my life seen this video until the other day. it seems to be a different mix from the one i have (it's a bit more sanitized) and is of course weirdly 80s (aquanet, tigers, big hair...oh my!).
