but you are more sensible than me i can tell. Deluxe is cd/dvd and townsend do have the poster with it. £14.99 + p+p

yeah i'm only doing one version! cheers- deluxe might be the best idea then. but i see the hmv website has the deluxe plus the free cd single for £14.99 and free postage. might go for that instead of this poster! it all hinges on what this poster looks like haha!!! come on townsend, spill!!

i asked and they've not been told, just that'll they'll get posters to give away with the albums. All very mysterious but they're usually of album covers these things. I'd suggest you going with HMV but they're a bit poor sending cds out on time. You might have to wait... unless its just me they like doing that to.

I've gone for the double CD/DVD/Bonus single package from HMV

Me too. It's got more feeling than everything on SATT and PFAYM combined.

I beg to differ.

Agreed! It once brought tears to my eyes. Another true story.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw! Same here!

Don't agree about SATT and Postcards lacking feeling though!

It's a real tear-jerking beaut. A great song about growing old, drifting apart and losing your way. It says so perfectly everything they tried and failed to on PFAYM.
It sounds like a goodbye, you can hear the history of the band in it.

I'm losing all my innocence
I know I've stopped making much sense
I think I'll leave and I'll take some rest

Fearful of the future now
The future is now
But it's true the things you feel don't go
The people that you love hold on

The majesty, the majesty
Pre-eminent amongst the free
Happy and drifting endlessly

Baby I lost my way
Following our star
But I guess that's just how you are

tzb · #**911** 07-09-2011, 21:35

Yeah, it's one of the best songs they've ever recorded.

Flint · #**912** 07-09-2011, 21:36

Aye, easily one of their very greatest. It's a crime how they just chucked it as one of the token new songs on a compilation (and a non-single one at that) so they can easily pretend it never exists. That song demands a strong place in the canon.

Easily one of the best lyrics of the band's history as well.

tzb · #**913** 07-09-2011, 21:39

I still maintain the FD tracks, their b-sides and the first half of Lifeblood are the best run of songs they've recorded outside of their two classic records, THB and JFPL.

ForeverDelayed.com · #**914** 07-09-2011, 21:39

it DOES almost *not* exist. i like it as well, i often forget its existence, due to that simple fact - just tossing it in a best of collection. its funny when bands do that, sometimes the singles there turn out to be better than some of the "greatest hits". i got carried away there and lost my train of thought.

Get a Door To The River chant going at the O2.
