Clemen79, it is welsh, "the country was full of blood when the water claimed the street, everyone wore black when the water claimed the land" he's talking about tryweryn I believe.
Fantastic version of this beautiful song, the simple arrangement showing how great a song it is. And James' voice is absolutely perfect. This is a great posting ! Thanks!!
james uncle passed away last week .Went to funeral yesterday as i was james aunties 3rd cousin He was there along with nicky and sean ...No paperazzi haha we beat them once again!!!! Anyway we dont need paps at a funeral thats sick..The manics are working on a new album so watch this space!
It was taken from the film Beautiful Mistake, a documentary on John Cale, one of the most versatile and creative musicians around. Also performing in that film are Catatonia and other welsh musicians. I only saw it at the cinema about 10 years ago. Wish it were released as dvd.
and tryweryn was flooded to make a pond for liverpool to drink from... virtually no compensation was paid to the residents, some farmers lost land worth £500,000. no reperations are being paid by the councils and such. i think thats right anyhow. top top performance, he really went for it here.
Well I read a comment on here stating about a post production pitch change, and I thought 'what a load of bollocks'. The more I watch this though, the more I think they're right. JDB has a very impressive range but this just doesn't seem right. Either way, agree with all regarding its beauty.
Cale says about water coming to claim the streets, everyone wearing black and the water claiming you. I think the song's abotu a Welsh village that was flooded to make a reservoir.
this is the greatest vocal of JDB ive ever heard!!! its amazing, he sounds like he's 19 again but daaaamn
Best voice in Rock, James Dean Bradfield is God
I keep coming back to watch this. Bloody gorgeous James!
sorry i need to post again, how goddamn good is this??? One of the greatest ever!!! Long may you continue James!!
