"All The Things She Gave Me" comes off the Waterboys' 1984 album A Pagan Place, and it's Mike Scott's show from top to bottom: he wrote it, produced it, sings it and plays both guitar and piano. Around him the band throws everything at the wall, Anthony Thistlethwaite's saxophone and Barbara Snow's trumpet blaring, Tim Blanthorn sawing at the violin, Nick Linden on bass and Kevin Wilkinson on drums, with Karl Wallinger, T.V. Smith and Ingrid Schroeder piling on backing vocals. Stephen W. Tayler mixed it. It's the sound of a band reaching for the sky and not caring who hears the strain.
