[Music] What's the best song you have heard today? Share it here.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Always gets the hairs on the back of neck going when they do this live. Also contains one of the best bits of crowd surfing, plus raw emotion from Joe at the end. Marvellous......

Blimey that's good.

Fair assessment. Look up 'Summer in Crimea', another cracker which I won't post here for reasons of thread rules propriety

Really like Human Tetris, just listened to Summer in Crimea and then Cold Wind

 

[Trevor]

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young... Oh and Mitchell
This is obviously before one of them left to form Neil Young

Slagged off in the Music press at the time as the Do Badlys. Your decision?

You probably know, but the song is actually about one of Joe's best mates Danny, who is an immigrant. Plus the whole point about love, unity and what a lack of that creates.....

But also, his mum, who he was primary carer for from really young died not so long ago and then he lost a daughter to still birth (they do have a daughter now, which is lovely).

So I think the combination of the crowd's reaction to the tune plus everything he's been through was the reason for him being overwhelmed.

His wife coming out and comforting him was just beautiful.

And it's such a good tune anyway.

Gorgeous, unashamed pop.

I didn't know any of that. Thanks. I could have guessed some of it though. I found I had something in my eye, even before the singing ended......

Well this is a complete blast from the past, the group Autumn were formed by local lads in Shoreham and Worthing back in the early 70's. I knew one of the band, albeit only a nodding acquaintance, as he went to my school and I worked with his mum , she was very excited when this song came out in 1971, as it got them an appearance on TOTP. Think this was their only minor hit but I loved it because of the great harmonies and the fact they were a 'local band for local people'.

This just popped up on a compilation CD. Mmmmmm.....nice. What did the Romans ever do for us? This.

You probably know that Fontaines DC toured with Idles, when it was all getting a bit too much for Grian Chatten Joe took him shopping and bought him a new shirt (according to the NME).

A gentle bit of Professor Eno, Robert Fripp guitar is always welcome...

Doubt I'll see a movie less coherent than no-budget Coherence anytime soon, let alone today. Doubt also that I'll hear a more beautiful closing credits tune. Gawd bless ya (again!) Shazam. This is Laura Veirs out of Portland, Oregon with the very beautiful 'Galaxies'

I'll watch that in a while because I watch them all. Just a sidenote that I misread the caption at the bottom and saw
