Haha yes! I find the solution is to just go on to all the other great covers, afghan whigs etc. For me, this is the song with the largest amount of worthy covers, red kross, j mascis etc but the fannie's will always be best. And it has to be this version, not the one on catholic education
This version is legendary, and I'll tell you why - the change up of the guitar solo, the energising of it, which wasn't present in the recorded version on "A Catholic Education", after the vocals stop, starts a bit sooner and makes it so much better, puts a certain urgency into it. that is how to improve a song. Anyway, Norman is a huge fan of Broadcast, and I love him just for that alone.
we get older every year but you don't change or i don't notice you're changing i think about it every day but only for a little while and then i feel it i'll never know which way to flow set a course that i don't know i'll never know which way to flow set a course that i don't know the wind's blowing in my face lately find it hard to keep the pace and i'm looking for a place to go but only for a little while and then the feeling i'll never know which way to flow set a course that i don't know
i;m so proud that the fannies showed our American pals what west coast rock should sound like. no one ever came close to this and this was only a small wonderful part of what this brilliant band gave use
The best ever eveything flows! got this free with a mag in the early nineties. Changed my life! every time I hear this track It means everything to me. the guitars ring in your head forever! If you love this you understand music (nevermind came out the same year) turn the lights off! hear this track and change your life forever!!!!!
i had this version on repeat play on my walkman for a whole year.. got me through my train journey's from SE London to Old Street and back.. superb harmonies, great lead vocal.. awesome neil young esque solo by raymond.. i need this version on cd as i 've long since lost my tape..
I first heard TF on this tape that it seems so many of us had. When I heard the album version I was so disappointed. It doesn't get better than this take. thanks so much for posting - its been years since I heard this but I think about it often.
OMG I have been searching for this version for years! I lost it in a move overseas and just couldn't remember which freebie cassette I had it on. I always want to sing these vocals but they never quite work singing along with the Catholic Education version. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing 💝
this version, especially the vocals give me the shivers. found a catholic education tape in a dollar bin. the quality was crap, but i played it until i lost it. lost it years ago and still think about it. i know i'm going to find it again!
i also still have the cassette somewhere. this version should had been the one used on the deep fried fanclub cd reissued last year. and even at over six minutes it,s still way too short ,could go forever. thanks for uploading
aside from the brilliant peformance, the most amazing thing about this is the fact that the fannies appear to be essentially 5th billing on this otherwise heap o shite.
i think it came with select magazine or was the NME? anyway, i ahd it and it was the best free tape i ever got , thanks to the fannies track.. the rest of the stuff of the tape.. i can't even recall anymore!!

@mrazza69 yeah I had the same tape which came with Vox magazine. The best freebie I ever got with a mag. It had : EMF, Jesus Jones, Chapterhouse, Banderas, Paris Angels, The Dylans, Milltown Brothers, The Farm, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Birdland, Poppy Factory, Real People, Spirea X & Teenage Fanclub.
It's about life. How you never know what it will throw at you or where you're headed. Life is a flowing river that's too complex to be understood or predicted, so you might as well go where it takes you. The phrase Everything Flows is attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, although I don't know whether Norman had him in mind when he wrote the lyrics. Hope this helps :)
