I must concede I have a very strained relationship to The Everlasting: I love most of it (the lyrics are outstanding), but the chorus is one of the most depressing and soporific dirges they've ever written. But then there's that wondrous solo that comes in at 3.45 and builds and builds... Oh, I don't know.
It doesn't help that Nicky saying they only chose it as a single because the title reminded them of Blur's The Universal and similar song names has always irked me.
The Stealth Sonic Orchestra remix of it is utterly beautiful though.
