An great emotional pop tune, very much in the vein of the Britpop of the time. I think the was John's biggest hit, solo anyway. I like how he switches guitars mid-song, like one was not enough for this guitar legend. Enjoy.
What he said is spot on. John got unfairly hammered whereas tone deaf Brownie kept getting the praise on his Solo road. All true Roses fans know exactly just where those original tunes came from. @@BloodSweatAndMeth
You can say what you like about the Brown V Squire thing but what has Squire done since the Roses split? He was supposed to be the most talented member. The Seahorses? Decent enough but they were just a front for him to wank his guitar more! 1 solo album which finished him. By comparison Brown was written off as the one least likely to suceed and has went on to have 4 sucessful solo albums and sells still out gigs. Brown is worthy of the praise he gets because he's proved so many wrong
Like Bob Dylan could sing! Or Van Morrison! And as awful vocalists as they were, no one could perform their songs like they did, with the same pathos. Same for John Squire. He's one of the last true greats and this song is beautiful!
Shame this guy has quit music for good although he is a very good artist. I like his solo stuff, despite his gritty voice- a bit like Dylan in places. What year was this from? Song was released til 2002 on his first solo record.
i dunno. first was andy watts, then mark heaney. I don't think he looks like either of them. Heaney is a def bad-ace. check out his solo album if you don't know it yet.
Great tune and great lyrics - if it was sung by an actual star - it would've been a worldwide hit! John Squire is a fantastic musician, but he should sell his lyrics to someone who can sing.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother these days :)
@Mikk Lüftumie .. It's a good voice and (at least SOME) technical talent that defines a lead vocalist. ;-) Browny had all the presence but an awful voice. The next gen Manc frontman - a certain lad from Burnage - had the same (albeit a less animated) presence but also the voice. Of course, though , this is just my own opinion.
