Frames fans, is that Glen on screaming lead guitar or someone else.

PS - met Glen briefly at PJ20 - nice guy. Great performer

I don't think that is a bad thing, I think that is a compliment.  Think about where the "Blues" got its name.  Being down and out and all.  Just knowing other humanoids feel pain is comforting.  Yes, I have been in pain.  Often.  So?

I get a late Robert Plant backed by Los Lobos vibe myself.

I've found a greater appreciation for this tune after reading how much it seems to trouble some of the people who post negative comments about it.   There's something to be said for that in a song.

Love The Frames! Please play more of their stuff ("Red Chord" or "What Happens When the Heart Just Stops" or something from "Burn the Maps") They're awesome!
 
Agreed!  This isn't my favorite Frames tune, but I still love the lyrics in particular.

From a "5" to a "7"...more listens are helpful. I like the overall feel and atmosphere this tune generates.
