Any others?

Only watched once, but thought I saw a flying helmet on backseat at one point.
Oh, and the girl's hair style is obviously influence by one of Dave's classic cuts.



:P

Perhaps B side material in the 80s but that was then.
its worth more than a b side for me,its a lovely tribute with a great and modern vid to it that has been very well thought out to reference Dave,thumbs up from me maybe not a single but a very good album track to tribute him and far better than a b side in just my opinion.

I think this Song has Mr Warnes finest guitar solo and work since he joined band and his small vocal part is great to,i see some twat put a comment on YouTube about the video and he said Pathetic, entitled to his opinion,but not really a bright move with all the love for Dave,I have listened to this song about 40 times, I think it's some of their best work since Hugh left, great drumming from Jim to, he sounds so like Jet. They made the right choice with Jim, this song would have been huge in old days, but not sure download will get many sales, I'm old school I like the hard copy, but I will buy it on download, the first music I have ever downloaded apart from Hoover Dam on the military computer,oh pretend I didn't say that, I can't be traced now :smt005

Yes can see where your coming from even though Lifes too short was always better than another b side song ,Superb work form the hammond hero again in the middle of this song and like you say its on the quality of Daves song too your right.We've always said in the past on here that this band could release an album with just the best quality b sides no problem,what with instead of this,lifes too short,poisonality, fools rush out, top secret the list is just endless.

Yes they have done Dave and fans proud, it shows not that they needed to prove it to anyone how much Dave meant to band, it really is a beautiful song a sublime song with all the stranglers elements of course even more poignant without the keyboards, this should be number one, I will try and download but I'm a luddite and Old Codger.
