A few weeks ago, I took a little nap in the afternoon and I had the craziest dream. I dreamt that something devastating had happened (I don’t know what) and I was very upset about it. I was in this beautiful apartment in what seemed like New York City looking out at this incredible view, crying my eyes out. (No, it wasn’t a happy dream.) And I was listening to Ryan Adams’ “Come Pick Me Up”. In the dream, I thought, ‘Damn, The Magic Numbers would do an awesome cover of this song’. I wasn’t half awake thinking it, it was all in the dream, I swear. I have no idea where it came from but it’s definitely true, The Magic Numbers would sound great doing “Come Pick Me Up”. It wouldn’t be drastically different, the way that some great covers are (The White Stripes’ “Jolene”, for example) – in my head, it sounds very similar to the original but with a little more jangle and a little less country and that crazy keyboard-kazoo instrument (I have no idea what it’s called) replacing the harmonica parts. But with those Magic harmonies, it sure would be beautiful.
