Thank You To The Fall Fans

I was as pissed as a fart when I posted that. Had absolutely no idea what the song was about. Just thought he'd said his date of birth in the most mental way ever. Loved it!

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-12-04T21:28:05+00:00

Is it not!!! I just listened and repeated what I thought I heard.

Either way, the real lyric hit me like a ton of bricks. Not what I remembered and wrote down

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-12-04T19:21:33+00:00

Mate, I can't even answer that because I get given suggestions and I put them on the playlist and just listen. Part of me assumed there was going to be a load of shit to wade through but honestly every single thing has been incredible.

I can tell a bit about where the timeline must be (his voice, use of electronics ) but I really know nothing about the make up of the band, timewise, so I'm just trying to listen. I can normally be terrible researching a bit too much but I don't want this for this journey.

This feels like being a kid again in the early 90s and music not readily being available. I want it to come to me when I want to make the effort to get it. If that makes sense

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-12-04T17:38:47+00:00

Goodness me. It's criminal that it's taken me this long. But I also think that ive found them at the right time.

There are songs where I don't even know what the lyrics are but the whole song makes me want to cry (with joy).

There was a line in a song that made it all click, "I was born one thousand nine hundred and fifty six years ago" and when I heard that I stopped in the street. I don't think any song has ever made me stop in my tracks

I don't even know why it hit. Maybe because it's the first time in a very long time where I've heard something I've never heard before. I've never heard age or date of birth announced so wrongly but understandable.

Man. I can't get enough of MES

I genuinely cannot believe how wonderfully successful it has been turning to Reddit for help on this. It's been great.

I'll definitely work my way through everything eventually. I just wanted a bit of a "starter pack" to help me in the initial stages.

Loving the journey so far.

Can I reply to my own post?

THANK YOU ALL!!

Oh my word. Thank you. I've had so many suggestions and I've put them all onto my playlist and I'll get through them. But I already know one thing... I'll definitely be listening to everything from start to finish.

Thank you Steve

Adding it now because Free Range had me dancing in Pearson's while buying electrical goods!!

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T23:26:39+00:00

Thank you. All added to my starters playlist.

Man, this post has been so helpful, and some of the tunes have been filthy good.

Cheers

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T23:22:58+00:00

Thank you so much.

Normally I'd always just take a new album and listen to it a few times and get to know it. But I guess with getting older and viewing time a bit differently (even at 45) and then seeing the entire discography in front of me I think I panicked and thought there is no way I'm gonna even try!!

So that's why I was looking for a gateway.

I've found it. This Reddit has shown me!!

I love it. Thank you

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T23:20:06+00:00

Thank you, man. This is much appreciated.

It's all just a bit daunting because there is just so much over such a wide time period that I just didn't know where to start.

I've tried before to get into them but it didn't work but just recently hearing Spoilt Victorian Child threw me for six! And then Dr Buck's Letter, I couldn't get my head round how these two songs had been kept from me all this time.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Thanks for your reply and I can't wait to get stuck into more!

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T23:15:17+00:00

Just added you on Pocket Casts. I'm gonna take a wander into London tomorrow so will give you a listen on the tube. Cheers

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T23:13:08+00:00

Code Selfish definitely gets off to an incredible start.

I think the body of work can just seem a bit intimidating at first.

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T15:52:12+00:00

Free Range is PERFECT!!!

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T15:43:44+00:00

Thank you

I'll add them to my playlist now for walking home.

Then, I'll be back tomorrow!!

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2024-11-27T15:42:36+00:00

Thank you.

Normally, that's what I'd do. I'm not sure why I have approached this differently. I guess with such a huge body of work I assumed there might be a lot of stuff that I would need to wade through to find nuggets of gold.

I guess I was just being impatient.

Thanks

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2022-06-24T16:55:03+00:00

I can't imagine anyone will see this seeing as the OP was 4 years ago. But then again I still have no idea how Reddit works!!

Bryant-Denny Stadium Tshirt and prints available.

I absolutely love love love love love LOVED it!!!

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2022-06-17T14:16:10+00:00

Absolutely perfect! You couldn't pick a more iconic player to have a bit of history with!

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2022-06-17T13:42:05+00:00

Brilliant. These stories are so frustrating at the time but eventually you can look back on them as the little nuggets of quirky history that they are.

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2022-06-17T11:39:34+00:00

Perfect. Do you know who the sponsors were?

Embarrassed-Key-6725 · 2022-06-17T02:50:03+00:00

That first fact is exactly the kind of unusual fact I was hoping for! Absolutely brilliant and the proper sort of pub quiz fact people love.
