Advent with Stu g Day 19
The Everlasting
This song by The Manic Street Preachers is one of my top 5 songs of all time.
There’s no formula to a favorite song is there. It’s a mixture of things: environment, how you’re feeling, what you’re dealing with, the people you’re with, lyric, melody, music, and how it all mixes together and how it hits you when you hear the first few bars…
I remember buying, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, and listening to it on tour busses and aeroplanes often going to sleep with it in my headphones. Something happens in your sub-conscious when that happens…it was the same with The Smashing Pumpkins Adore.
I’ve wanted to learn this song for a long time and never done it…until now
I’ve sung it for years with my mates, listening in vans and headphones, and so naturally sang the chorus as I heard James singing it…including the word “genuine” sung “gen-oo-in”…this cracked my wife up and I haven’t lived it down…can’t believe how odd that sounds :)
This cover version is my tribute to the Occupy protesters and peaceful protests for equality everywhere.
peace
