Dancing With Tears in My Eyes - X

Dancing With Tears in My Eyes - X
2:15
Under the Big Black Sun, 1982
Written by Al Dubin, and Joe Burke, 1930

This song is from the musical Dancing Sweeties.  It's a song about pining for the one you can't have, or maybe that got away.  "Dancing with somebody new / When it's you that my heart's calling to."  I haven't heard any of the standard pop versions of the song, but X play it pretty straight, not in any way screaming punk, with an almost tropical marimba figure to keep it light.
