agreed.. it suits in so many scenarios...i'll return to this song over and over like an oasis in the desert... god help me if it becomes empty.gone. depleted.. stolen..
Brilliant! АукцЫон used to be my favorite band ever... but now I see that it was inspired the THE & Talking Heads most of all. This flute(or what it is) on the background is making me crazy.
Good to hear this :) Its kind of similar to Another Boy Drowning in a way, but nothing wrong with that. I remember when I saw The The in 2005 or something and Matt was asking for requests. ABD came up and Matt said 'sorry we don't do that one any more - he drowned' :D
The tracks were called Three orange kisses from Kazan, Mental healing process, Nature of virtue, Fruit of the heart and Waiting for the upturn. I'm not sure where you can get them but the do crop up on b'sides of the early singles. If you get in touch I can try and mail them to you as MP3s
I remember that gig when ABD was requested. Matt didn't seem 'at home' that night and talked between songs maybe a bit too much which seemed to encourage way too much chat and less focus on the music. I reckon this is why the amazing drummer played that 10 minute amazing drum solo
“Making love, loving you. Over the edge, all over you.” - what a brilliant passionate lyric. Love it.
Still now when no other track will do, this takes me to a place I find soul and feeling. And I never want it to end...

I love Matt's surreal lyrics.
This is my favourite The The song
I agree x
And mine.
I've always loved this track,reminds me of being a depressed 15 year old- but in a good way.Love this stuff,thanks for uploading.
As a teen there was nothing better than listening to music in the dark.
God what is wrong with my legs? They've stopped telling me what's going on beneath my feet.
That’s my favourite line!

I haven't listened to this in years, but I was singing along! Great song!
its the flute hook....trust me.
Been a fan since about 86'. Managed to see Matt in concert in Birmingham two years ago. Absolutely brilliant!

An AMAZING song!
Superb, The The
In the staring eyes of a bloodless face
Six extra tracks baby.
YES MAN....!
Does Matt say a breathy "Pure LSD" around 0:05? Anyone else ever hear that?
Possibly... 🙂
He does, Bill, he sure does.
@BillyBassBottomThere are NO vocals at 0:05.

It exists.
Sounds vaguely like the quote, in the comment we are replying to.

How did he do it? Musical and Poetic beauty weirdly nostalgic and timeless. For times alone. Ive got my fridge half empty for the end of civilisation
I've got my fridge well stocked for the end of civilisation.
Matt Elliott sent me here
Yes it is very much like Another Boy Drowning, altho that didn't have flute LOL
