I think it's my favourite song... for now

Anyway, here's my live video I filmed last night in Halifax of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUlOYVKU5ls

And 7digital as a FLAC:

And iTunes and Qobuz and probably others.

Flint, Porco, thank you muchly.

Miss the days when I just just buy the CD single and be done with it!

Not to mention that we no longer have sleeve quotes for the singles either.

Some of my absolute favourite manics songs have been their b-sides over the years so to lose those has been like a hole in my heart! I still remember vividly working through their back catalogue and discovering the delights of their b-sides for the first time - "Sepia huh? What's this like..."

So maybe the format will return some day, who knows. Stranger things...

Yeah same, really miss them.

I remember in 96/97 I was a nipper collecting their back catalogue of singles, then one day I found a site which sold a double CD of b-sides and rarities - about 40 songs from 89 to 97 - which I absolutely played to death. Properly exciting times.

I don't mind it, but still think the chorus is too sickly. Think the part of the song that preceedes it would work as a chorus. Also not a fan of the "Don't Stop Believing" guitar bits that pop up throughout the song.

In all honesty you would think they could still produce some CD singles, maybe with the regular track, the acoustic version and the instrumental on it, say £4.99 each.

I'd like to think even if they were limited to 1000 / 1500 copies they would sell out pretty quick. Surely there are still enough die hard fans around to buy them.

Ah well, I can only dream
