The opening bass work is instantly recognizable as the hands of Peter Hook and sounds like something - or one - coming undone, which is usually the case when one person asks of another, "What Do You Want From Me". If that question has to be asked, your probably feeling as though you've given all that you can to a relationship but not being fairly compensated for your efforts. The next thing that should be said is, "This is what I want from you and from now on I plan to be less passive/agressive, you selfish dick/bitch".
But in the case of this song, we'll let it slide 'cause somebody is on shaky ground here and those delightfully sunny shalala lalalala's are probably not helping. Rumour has it that Peter Hook and David Potts may be giving us a new Monaco album and that's exactly what I want from them. "What Do You Want From Me" is a perfect single from an album of perfect music with the added bonus of a seven page fold out of a photograph that still provides surprises after more than ten years.
Have a great weekend.
