Specific bits of Manics songs that you look forward to hearing

[framedadolescence]

I love this thread! There are so many. Off the top of my head...

- James screaming in the Millennium version of Ready For Drowning. And the drums and wiggly guitar that follows. Goose bumps

- All of Bag Lady but when James really drills the guitar towards the end. Wish that bit lasted longer

- Perhaps predictably, the way Sepia starts: "A framed adolescence steeped in the history of you". Just beautiful.

I believe it's from a BBC documentary on John Cale that may well be available on certain sites...

That completely gives me the fear that quote and the whole song actually. It is amazing regardless.

"Tearin' off like so many calendar days" from A Song For Departure

The final chorus of Interiors, with that emotional build:
"Ahhhhhh say you can remember
Say where is the tomorrow
Say where you're coming fro-om, say
WHAT YOU HAAAAAVE"

.

Was impressed at how James reached that big note on Interiors when I saw them recently
