Love Letter to the Future, that's the one i was thinking of but couldn't quite name! Love it, i wish they had sounded like that for the rest of SATT! Actually, i wish GT had sounded as ballsy as that.

I've always thought it would have been the perfect way to end Send Away the Tigers.

No-One Knows What It's Like To Be Me is much better than A Design for Life, IMO.

I hadn't listened to No-One Knows in years... Grateful for this thread!

As a song definitely, but as a lead single no way. Would've been another 'Revol', nobody would've bought that in 1996. Probably could've been released during the time of THB as a third single, certainly fits that era musically.

Does anyone else think "I Know the Numbers" is one of James best acoustic tracks?

It's absolutely stunning, I love that song!

I'm really loving Hibernation at the moment. The part where the vocals first come in is just gorgeous.

I'm sure it's been said before, but the b-sides to SATT are easily the equal of anything in the album. Boxes and lists, love letter to the future, fearless punk ballad are all brilliant.

Even the extra tracks from that era are good. Umbrella, The Ghosts Of Christmas are both awesome.

You're not going crazy... I Never Wanted Sunshine is your point of reference.
