Watched Radio Dept at Scala on Sunday and Suede at O2 Arena tonight. Nice to hear Radio Dept playing 1995 at the end. A couple of pieces sounded too too sweet but were still pleaseing to the ears.
1995 is missing buses It's walking 15 miles to see your love It's knowing you're alive through all the fuzz It's never coming down from going up
1995 is cutting classes It's sitting over coffees talking indie treats It's the mere sensation of being the first one that you see When morning opens up the skies You see me when daylight opens up your eyes
And though I'm happier now I always long somehow Back to 1995
All my friends have different plans to make their lives worth while Some for the better Some for worse Some have gone to different cities searching every mile For missing pieces that will make a whole
1995 seems like a long way to go If you ever were to find your way back home But the only thing I really miss is being the first one that you see When morning opens up the skies You see me when daylight opens up your eyes
Didn't expect much from Suede since they broke up quite some years ago and nobody ever told me they really loved The Tears or Brett's solo album, but they were fantastic tonight, and I loved the way Brett moved. It's really nice to see the same line up (without Bernard Butler) and it's funny how I realized that I could sing almost every line including the instrumental part. I'd love to hear less popular songs but what more can you ask for when you see the setlist?
