Erp, I'm showing my shoegazing roots by admitting to this-- but it's Slowdive. And the last line is "You're a sun yeah, etc.". I must admit, I remember how lovely it sounded when I saw them at the Ontario Place Forum (before the stupid Molson Amphitheatre took its place, and incidentally

slowdive, yes, a truly wonderful band... well i thought so anyway. it's such a shame that those shoegazing bands (slowdive, telescopes, ride etc) are scorned upon by almost everyone these days. one of the first albums i bought was 'just for a day' by slowdive, and it's really really lovely - admittedly their final album, 'pygmalion' was very strange, but it had some truly gorgeous moments on it as well. i admit that the lyrics above look a bit lame, but when sung they sound wonderful - plus you can't really hear the words properly, as with most of their songs. not that i'm saying that's necessarily a good thing, but if the lyrics are dire it's sometimes a good idea. i'd be the first to admit that lyrics are important, and am often content with just reading the lyrics to a song rather than listening to it, but some bands 'work' really well even though you can't make out a single word (the cocteau twins for example). anyway, that song is called 'when the sun hits' and it's on 'souvlaki', which is a really nice album, with some gorgeously sad and mellow songs like 'altogether', 'dagger', and 'here she comes' on. mojave 3, which is neil and rachel's new band, is also fantastic. i have their album, 'ask me tomorrow', which is truly lovely and wonderfully laid back in a country kind of way, but i STILL haven't heard their new single. is it any good? i saw them support for luna at the garage a couple of years ago, and they were wonderful, as were luna. that has to be one of my favourite gigs ever. i used to be on the slowdive and mojave 3 mailing list, but they weren't nearly as nice as you lot :) so i got bored and unsubscribed... ah well, that's enough irrelevant shoegazing banter for one day bye bye rob xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
