Less it's just for a quiet acoustic interlude and a cuppa to get the breath back in the middle. I suppose

 Course I'm a scatterbrained rambler, spent most my life feeling like a directionless misfit too. Just like a certain band I suppose... Maybe not knowing our right from left isn't such a bad thing, music sounds more joyous than the lyrics at least.

This has been the weirdest thread on here in a long time.
Distant Colours is a great song. Better than any "second single" since Empty Souls.

Anyway, is Distant Colours getting airplay on British radio? International Blue was played twice on one Belgian radio station, no a single sign of Distant Colours here.

Distant Colours is just entering the 'grower' phase for me, after initially disliking it, here I am humming it and tapping my foot again. Bastards.

It's on BBC Radio 6's A List too, for now at least.

They are really spoiling us.
You can hear the intricacies in the songwriting - and the great guitar parts - in the acoustic version.

Distant Colours (Live Acoustic) is so beautiful! Dylan & Caitlin (Live Acoustic) is yawnfest, but original is so damn good!

Finding the mid section in Distant Lovers a bit odd, but otherwise a strong showing from the front 3 songs. Good old MSP.

Best track out of the three for me, without a doubt. Chorus is absolute gold - probably just as good in acoustic form (the Absolute Radio session version was also brilliant). IB is my 2nd fav with the other one definitely in 3rd place - even that's a decent song.

Finally got a listen of the acoustic version.
Well, it's much better. Really quite lovely, actually. Makes me wish they'd done a Small Black Flowers take on Distant Colours for the album track - mainly acoustic, with a bit of strings perhaps. What a difference these versions make.

Distant Colours is easily the stand out for me of the tracks released so far;
1. Distant Colours 2. International Blue 3. Dylan & Caitlin (acoustic) 4. Distant Colours (acoustic) 5. Dylan & Caitlin 6. International Blue (Bluer Skies)

Think you might've given it more thought than James did! I agree about being directionless though, what is there to believe in?
Linear Mode
