Sorry Fred, you are correct.  The vast majority of The The's songs are more "rocking" than this.  I should have made a more specific reference point — this YLT song reminds me of the softer side of The The, mainly the song The Whisperers.  —cheers

Pull the wax out of your ears, Fred.  I have a 25 gallon canister of Mogodan here and I am coming to the UK to deliver it right to your front door step.  Ever see the movie Jaws?   I think that form of delivery would do it just right.  ArrgggggHHH.  {#Grumpy}{#Arghhh}{#Frustrated} {#Wink}

A nice song ... but the playlist today is vvverrry slow and sedate.  Almost like it was programmed by a soccer mom who wants to sit in the living room of the house paid for by her doctor-husband and read her lame novels and eat bon-bons all day.  All you need to add is some Enya and I suspect listeners will fall into a shallow coma.

A very introspective tone...for me at least. I don't know so much about the rest of you.
