What’s a song that grew on you over time?

This gives me the chance to share my Nick Cave joke.

> "Take a little walk to the edge of town > Go across the tracks > Where the viaduct looms, > Like a bird of doom > As it shifts and cracks > Where secrets lie in the border fires,  in the humming wires > Hey man, you know  you’re never coming back > Past this square, past the bridge,  past the mills, past the stacks > On a gathering storm comes  a tall handsome man"

Nick Cave. Good at songs, rubbish at giving directions.
