New song 'before I leave'
Patrick Jones tweeted something

Mr Richey · #2 14-03-2016, 14:08

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

Dancing Kirby · #3 14-03-2016, 14:22

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

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

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!

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 ... ?

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 · #13 15-05-2016, 15:25

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!
