I HAD NO IDEA JUST WHAT ELSE THE ALBUM MIGHT HAVE IN STORE FOR ME AS I LISTENED. " TILL I DIE " STRUCK ME THEN, AS NOW-----FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE MELODY------THE RESIGNATION TO HOW LIFE IS BIGGER THAN ANY OF US CAN EVER KNOW-------AND HOW THAT ACCEPTANCE IS KEY TO " KEEP ON KEEPIN ON " , AS THE SAYING GOES. LEAVE IT TO BW TO EXPRESS IT SO BEAUTIFULLY. ----------MJL, 78 Y/O

    Always loved this track, great retrospective of it and I think it actually suits Byrne very well, although it’s easy to forget it’s him actually on the track. Another song that could be interesting to do a backstory of is Some Girls by Rachel Stevens. It’s kind of wild that a track being from a member of one of the most innocent pop bands of the late 90s/early 00s that is so explicit in being about women being expected to give sexual favours in the industry to get ahead, while simultaneously sounding like a Goldfrapp song (probably a hallmark of Richard X’s production) would end up being for Sport Relief of all things. Such a bizarre combination and yet somehow for me it falls into the category of a track that shouldn’t work at all but does for me and honestly I’d love to know how that track even came together as it did.

    As an avid Beach Boys fan since 1963, I greatly enjoyed your video take on "Til I Die". A couple years ago, I listed it as #1 on my all-time Top 10 list that I shared with friends. You're probably well aware of Dave Edmunds' "Beach Boy Blood (In My Veins)". It's a fabulous tribute to the Boys and Brian and the coda is straight from "Til I Die".

He deserved a much more peaceful happiness!

    This is the thorough and well-thought explanation I always wanted for one of my all-time favorites. Thank you! I was perusing the news about recent political events in the US yesterday and came across the name Asha Rangappa somewhere. She is a writer, journalist and former FBI Agent and her name appeared in something I watched or read. It made me think of this song. Today, completely randomly, RUclips suggested this video to me... even though I haven't heard the song in years and didn't even say the title out loud yesterday. As per your description, it seems like a fitting resistance/protest song for the current happenings here. Many Americans, especially immigrants of color could use a bit of hope these days. The algorithm is creepy sometimes!

    great video. i first saw cornershop in atlanta in the 90s. they were opening for superchunk and seaweed. they started with 6AM Jullandar Shere. It was so new and different that a small but significant number of us stopped socializing and moved to the front to really take in the music. then college and internet radio stations started playing 6am JS. That song is very special to me. their body of work is strong and they keep putting out good music.
