It's not a big deal at all and actually a very cool statement.
Very true. I can't wait to listen to it all for the first time.

Do you mean you are you waiting for the album to listen to the song itself?

The big deal for me remains Nicky's current description of it.

"Majestic - imagine Scott Walker singing Love's 'Forever Changes' as the sun sets over a Welsh seaside town."

"Sounds like something off Love's Forever Changes (with a dash of video games)."

The only reason to give him the benefit of the doubt there is the video games part. I'm pretty sure there's nothing even close to resembling 'a dash of video games' in the finished version.

While he could be talking about a demo of the song that's completely different, it's unlikely that Richard Hawley would have been singing on it.

I share the same sentiments. There is a lot of the typical hyperbole from Nicky in regards to the sound of this album and so far I don't hear the influences at all.

I am curious as to wether or not James will sing on the demos of songs he doesn't sing on the album.

Video Games is from the haunting intro.

Scott Walker is from RH's vocal and really the entire aesthetic of the song.

Video Games? Is that the Lana Del Rey song, or some 'classic' album/Nicky favourite by someone I've just not heard of?

Oh... Video Games, not video games. I was listening out for Sonic the Hedgehog.

Forever Changes is one of my favourite all time albums, so I'd be happy with more of that.
