Alejandro Escovedo ‘Suit of Lights’
If there is one song that really opens your mind to the world of Alejandro Escovedo’s writing style, it’s ‘Suit of Lights’ with such piercing lines as “Watched you shower, Watched you bathe / Put everything I have in every kiss we made / Brought you silk, brought you jade / A bucket of blood in every note I played.”
