autumn song

so, autumn song seems to be an in-joke on here and i was wondering why?

Is it a simple (group 1) love the song v (group 2) hate the song?

The lyrics are pish but thats part of what makes them great (a-la life by des'ree "I don't want to see a ghost, It's a sight that I fear most, I'd rather have a piece of toast")

The tune is poppy and infectious and sticks in your head for days

so...autumn song - whats the deal?

I agree, it's of the exact same calibre as Life by Des'ree. Hence everything.

Well if you thought Autumnsong was inexplicably hated, start a thread on "Underdogs!"

So as not to repeat my previous 1,000 posts, it's not even an autumnal song, is it? It's more like a summer song with ill-fitting shit lyrics and released as a single in the summer but played at gigs no matter what time of year it is.

I'm leaving it there before this Friday night post becomes a Saturday morning one.

Jesus Christ does this forum really need another fucking thread on the worst fucking Manics' single ever?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It is unbelievably and I mean unbelievably shite. Beyond shite.

Fuck I hate it.

I hate the riff. It's bollocks. Absolutely bollocks. Not only for the echoes of Sweet Child but even for the simple structure of it (speaking from a guitarist's POV). There is nothing redeeming about it.

I hate the guitar tone. It's too creamy and Gibsony. Turn the tone up or fucking using the neck pickup.

I hate the lyrics. They are unbelievably shite. How the fuck could Wire hand them to Jimbo. Seriously. How the fuck?

I beyond hate the "done to your hair, done to your hair" into the chorus. Fucking painful.

I hate the strings. Lazy.

I hate when it comes on when I'm listening to the album and always surprises me as I've tried to block it from my mind. Fuck I hate that.

I hate it cos it kept Welcome to the Dead Zone, Morning Comrades, Fearless Punk Ballad even fucking Little Girl Lost (which is only marginally less shite) off the album.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that they chose it as a single! Holy shit fuck.

I hate that they mimed it on that World Peace or Environment shite on BBC 1 when Nicky wasn't even there cos even he knows how fucking shite it is.

The only thing I like about it is the F#/G chord in the chorus.

But how do you really feel about it proevpete?


Alternative artwork for Autumnsong.

I don't actually hate it like some, but it's certainly not a favourite... I far prefer the instrumental version. And the single release brought us the excellent The Vorticists which I'd happily put up with Autumnsong for any day.
