I prefer Golden Platitudes so I voted for it.
How it would go as a single i'm not sure... it could work. And I would like to see a *good* video for it!

I've gone off SKON. SKON's gone. But only because Golden Platitudes is a million times better and would sound better on the Christmas special of Eastenders!

I voted Golden Platitudes, but only cause I loooove the song. not sure it'd fit for a single. so this post of mine is pretty useless.
I'm out...

They should see a specialist doctor about that.

I would love A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun to be the next single, but I think that there is absolutly NO CHANCE of this. So I voted for a nice bit of SKON with jam & clotted cream as the next single, as I think it would be the best option of the 3 choices in the poll.

It's a decent song but rather average. It took me about 20 listens to even like it, I could never remember how it went....actually I still can't right now off the top of my head and in my opinion that means it shouldn't be a single at all. I'd select another 6/7 songs before it to be a single personally.

4th single If they even go that far (unlikely)

SKON and Postcards have it well covered for the next two single releases.
