New song 'before I leave'
Patrick Jones tweeted something

[Mr Richey]

From that tweet I'm getting that it's a song they've written for a TV show?

[Dancing Kirby]

James and Nicky have written music for Patrick's new play...

Mystery solved!

You can now download Before I Leave from the National Theatre Wales' website

Nicky & James share vocals!

[Manicben]

More along the lines of Wire starts and James pushes him out of the way to take over.

Do you need to download this on a computer? Tried on my mobile but all it done was send the tweet saying i'd listened to it, when I couldn't figure out how to listen to it

It takes you to a page where you can play it. You can also download it if you long press.

Thanks, opened it in the browser instead of Twitter and it worked

[bachelorette]

Anyone else has the download constantly failing? I am on laptop. It fucks up ALL THE TIME. I am on the fifth attempt. It appears utterly hopeless. Letting it rest for a bit.

Edit: But thanks for highlighting this, anyway!

I'm on a laptop. Can't play it or download it, just keep getting taken to pdf/software downloads

(Alternatively I just be being thick as usual!)

[Porco]

Thanks for the heads up for Before I Leave...

(very weird and unpleasant download process though, and then the file is just all wrong...).

If it doesn't play for anyone, try renaming the extension to .m4a instead of .mp3 - it appears to be an AAC file I downloaded, not an MP3.

I don't understand what the metadata is referring to either, is this cover or ... ?

[Porco]

After I allowed the tweet to be posted it eventually took me to a page with a clear link to the (supposed) .mp3 file. Consider temporarily suspending any ad-blockers?

Yeah, I turned off mine and it worked fine but yeah, very convoluted....

Could easily fit on I killed the Zeitgeist.....

I want to download this but I don't like having to share my info with this app or whatever it is. I tried with facebook and it didn't work. And the Twitter link states that I would be allowing it to send its own tweets through my account!
