Veronica (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A single from Elvis Costello's 1989 album Spike, co-written by Costello with former Beatle Paul McCartney. "Veronica" was also Costello's highest-charting Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, #1 on its modern rock chart, and #10 on its mainstream rock chart.

"Veronica" and its accompanying video depicted an aged woman, probably nearing the end of her life in a retirement home, engaging in detached reminiscences from her life from young girl to young womanhood. The video for "Veronica" featured Costello delivering a spoken-word monologue to the camera, and occasionally singing the song softly over the original vocal track from the recording. The video earned an MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Male Video.

The song "Veronica" was co-produced by T-Bone Burnett and Kevin Killen, and features Paul McCartney on his trademark Höfner bass.
