In 19 95, the album is re released by ryco disk records. On that same re release, castello includes a new version of deportees club. He gives it a new melody and plays it by himself. It might be one of my favourite songs ever. There's a line in it that jumps into my head whenever i'm sad. If alvas costello doesn't go back and revisit deportees club, turn it into deportee, we miss all that beauty. And the thought of that breaks my heart.
How does genius emerge? An exploration of different types of innovation—through the lens of Elvis Costello’s extraordinary song “Deportee,” once utterly forgettable and then, through time and iteration, a work of beauty and genius.
