Golden Platitudes (spoilers!)
Obviously contains spoilers.
It's definitely my favourite song on PFAYM. I love the melody, Bradfield's wonderful vocals and the haunting gospel choir. Such a touching song! |

It was my 2nd favourite from the songs they played at the Hammersmith gig but now it's probably my least favourite along with I Think I've Found (sh)It.

The acoustic version of the Descent was way better.

I dunno yet - I keep waiting for a chorus to kick in but there's not one.

For some reason it reminds me of Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight.

I'm still listening to the album but have to say this is my LEAST fave so far. But then I was no kinda fan of "Golden Slumbers" for that matter either...

My best attempt, should be right
The platitudes they all disolved, got too deep got too involved The platitudes just interludes to break the trust with me and you Oh what a shangri-la, Oh what a shower we are Oh what a mess we've made What happened to those days? When everything seemed possible, with no-one to tell you no Where did the feeling go? Where did it all go wrong? Born to the economist but then our marriage fails as did the partnership The platitudes they all dissolved, they got too deep got too involved The platitudes just interludes, to break the trust with me and you I fell back in love with love, I know that it might sound odd The liberal left destroyed every bit of my youth Left with the barest of bones leaving us all we've honed* Where did it all go wrong? Where did the feeling go? Why colonise the moon? When every different kind of desperation exists in every single home Where did the feeling go? Where did the feeling go? Where did it all go wrong?

Nicky ruined the lyrics for me by inserting the word "shangri-la" into it. Well done.

I love this song! it has some 'Antarctic'-feeling. (not as good as Antarctic, obviously...hard to beat that song, in my book )
but Golden Platitudes is def. amazing!
