Another great single released 20 years ago this week back in August 1998. Having made their name as one of Britpop's best loved acts in the mid 90s, the York-based band released their third album 'Let It Ride' in 1998, which featured this big, sweeping indie rock anthem. Personally, just as good as any other Shed Seven songs, and up there as one of their very best singles. I'm featuring the full length album version of this, since it was completely butchered as a radio edit, with half of each verse missing, taking away a big part of the songs wonderful melody, and ending up ruining its structure. In fact, in the end all you get is half a verse and a chorus repeated over and over again. No wonder the group had problems with their record company soon after...
The band initially split in 2003, reforming in 2007 and releasing a great album called 'Instant Pleasures' last year in 2017, their first new material in 16 years.
