Some faint and emotional working together (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
in tandem
'working together' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some faint and emotional' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'IN TANDEM' is hidden in the letters of 'faint and emotional'.
(Other definitions for in tandem that I've seen before include "Together - as on a bicycle made for two" , "'One behind the other, as on a bicycle (2,6)'" , "Manned it as twosome" , "Working together" , "One behind the other or alongside" .)
