The beginning actually reminded me of Ferry Cross The Mersey.

I like this.  The melody line reminds me of  how Michael Jackson's " The way You Make me Feel  "  would sound if it was brought down to a near acoustic  place.

My favorite Gomez song off my favorite Gomez album.  And I have them all...

Very necessary this afternoon, thanks!

These guys have such a cool, unique instrumental style and an amazing variety to their compositions.  In addition, of course, to their eclectic vocal styles, too.

  {#Eh} Okay, maybe a little on that first bar . . . I always think of the guys in Gomez as having very individually distinctive voices, which is one of the reasons I like them. You must be doing something right if you're sounding like a Buckley!

I thought How We Operate was very close to the high standard of the early stuff (Split the Difference wasn't).
 
Naw, thats becasue Bill played the dog out of that album.
Judging by the charts it took four albums before the US took notice, by then they had vaned back in the Old country.

I saw them recently in Birmingham, Ala., at Workplay Theatre and these guys are arguably some of the best musicians around.  Ben Ottewell sings this song but Ian Ball & Tom Gray sing equally as much without losing anything, just a change of styles.  One of the few bands that sound as good live as they do recorded.  Amazing.

I love Gomez and this might be my very favorite Gomez song. It has it all. Listen to the CD on a really good stereo system sometime and you can hear a lot of rich sounds, incredible texture.

Er..no. There's green curry, red curry, yellow curry, mild curry, hot curry, volcanic curry, vindaloo, garam masala... there's all kinds of things that are called "curry", and they can be *verrry* different!

Gotta agree, both musically and in the epicurean sense as well. Try the dishes in Sri Lanka vs. India..."Ring of Fire" to say the least...

Gomez, I like them, but playing deeply into "How We Operate" they seem to become poppier as the disc progresses, I like the less-commercially oriented songs...this one qualifies

Nay. As wikipedia puts it:
Curry (from Tamil: கறி) is the English description of any of a general variety of spicy dishes, best-known in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, Chinese and other South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines

Gomez, who at times have sported no fewer than 3 lead vocalists, is most definitely a curry of the highest order. Most excellent tune.
