Mmmyeah, that bass is CHEWY, and I didn't remember it at all... But then it's been years since I listened to this on CD (my dad's copy), and the old 240p RUclips uploads really weren't doing it justice.
This song is beyond comprehension. It’s perfect, is simple, it’s complicated, it’s brilliant…I wish I had the musical prowess to explain this pagan perfection
This track builds from a chill groove till it feels like trance. I never heard this record back in 1999, but I'm sure this track would've long been a favorite of mine had I heard.
Incredible song, probably the best on the album, but I must ask since I don't see anyone else bringing it up -- does anyone else hear Bach's Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring in the part where Andy sings, "And for a million years he has been your lover"? I looked it up, and there's at least s striking coincidence!
A beautifully bizarre combination of modern pop music and a mystic,trancey pre-modern history......how fabulously British!!!
Well said. You nailed it 🙂
Absolutely spot on fp
Thank you.
Thank you.
I usually don't do this, but it must be done: THE BASS LINE!

Seriously though!
Influence of Sir Paul McCartney! ❤

XTC songs are divine.

So many great XTC songs. Each is my favorite, I don't know of any other band like that.
oh i know, right? they're the best-there's-ever-been, man~
Same
Rarely do you hear such amazing instrumentation in a song.
For me, it's the beatles, then xtc, then there's a massive gap before anyone else. Both groups of incredible, versatile songsmiths
@@tinfoilhatter yes
the anthem that plays when tom bombadil walks into the ring
This might be my favorite XTC song.
Tribal Epic💚
The thing that makes Andy and Colin great are their genuine attachment to their pagan roots!❤
If Champaign was music. Synesthetic Andy!
Immense. Do what you will but harm none
!
Beck would kill for this. No offense.
