Divine Youth

Utterly beautiful song. The demo is equally heartbreaking too.

I see it as a song about the frailty of being young and the future that is being moulded for the youth of today. I see it as Nicky writing about how simple things were being young without the distraction of digitalisation and distractions. It's a lament of youth.

I've only heard the snippets of this (and all the tracks really aside from the few played live and already released) ... it sounds incredible. Probably the track I am now most looking forward to hearing in full (full sound, production etc).... that said ... can't wait to get my hands on the whole album!

Only the fucking Manics could pick the only singer harder to understand than James Dean Bradfield to sing alongside him.

Is she hard to understand? I can make out every word.

I still struggle with JDB quite a lot, especially on TIMTTMY.

She sings in a strange way with a very strong Welsh accent - someone I know even thought she was singing in Welsh! James is a lot easier to understand on that song than her, for me at least.

The beginning sounds like an AIR tune. I wish they hadn't split the vocals, just one or the other would've made it better. James' voice dominants the female vocal.

It doesn't really sound like welsh to me, just quiet.

I can't get over how beautiful that moment is when James' voice sets in. And the lyrics of the chorus give me goosebumps each time.

Initially I didn't like Georgia Ruth's voice at all (I rarely like female vocals, to be honest), but after having listened to it about a thousand times I have to say I'm finding it increasingly charming. There are those moments when she does that "squeaky" thing with her voice, like the Cranberries' singer used to do, only less extreme... Like her voice is cracking. I don't quite know how to describe it, but anyway, it's beautiful.

I actually like this, I heard about 30 seconds and reverted to the start of the album but I let it run second time around and it's beautiful, ironically some of these would have worked better on Rewind the Future.
