Has this had radio play? or am I missing something? Can't say i'm too fond of the lyrics abit too 6th form poetry for me. Did Nicky do the music for this one? I'm impressed by his actual music writing ability after his songs on journal, just not so much on the vocal front!

Thanks, Tidus. I actually heard the word godfather, but thought that was something wrong with my ears like in that "asteroid" thing

Fuck, and I thought Wattsville Blues was bad. WB sounds like song of the millennium compared to this.

The sample terrifies me, Nicky can't do orchestrated and over-the-top without some dense irony involved.

And I liked Wattsville Blues.

It sounds like a dying sheep farting in the wind. The Future I mean, not Wattsville.

I don't think it's as bad as Wattsville, but wow. Just. Wow.

I'll never understand why is Wattsville Blues so hated. It's Nicky's best song together with Marlon J.D.

Wattsville Blues is a fucking great song. Sexy bass line, great backing vocals from James, interesting effects.

This song here is... certainly not like that.

So by now looks like I'm the only one who really likes this track? That's sad.

Now that's better!

Btw, I love that "Keith Richards riff" there, it sounds really cool.
