Johnny Marr announces new double album

That Spirit, Power and Soul song is terrifically awful. Cringeworthy.
 
Anyone got lyrics to hand

Can't vouch for the complete accuracy of these but it's something like:

Yesterday is gone
Today I'm so on the run
How strange tomorrow will be
For you and for me
Cos we got soul, don'tcha know?
Now put your faith up in the sky
And see the blues in my eyes

Now it's starting to dawn
What in the world's going on?
I seen some shimmering things
Seen a vision in things
I'm so dumb, don'tcha know?
I'm stealing energy
Some for you, some for me
The darkness comes
The night will fall
On and on we hear the call

Now time has come
Spirit power and soul
And I get the feeling
Spirit power and soul

Lay awake too long
Dark has come, hope has gone
I'm never gonna vote Farage
His politics are just a mirage
I seen some glimmer in things
It's just the vision I'm in
When we all turn to gold
When make believe is in your eyes
That's when I realize
The dawn has come
Your star will fall
On and on we hear the call

Now time has come
Spirit power and soul
And I get the feeling
Spirit power and soul

Now time has come
Spirit power and soul
And I get the feeling
Spirit power and soul
 
Not sure what to make of this. It's not catchy or atmospheric enough to make an impact on me.
I don't see what separates this from thousands of unsigned bands.
 
'I'm never gonna vote Farage
His politics are just a mirage'


Christ almighty. That the best you've got? Quite pathetic.

Mr. Marr, it has to be said,
your lyrical skills are, frankly, dead.
Send me your tune,
& the message you seek,
I'll send better lyrics
By the end of this week!
Oh yeah yeah yeah!

Loving the very topical Farage reference Johnny, would've gone down a storm in 2014.
 
It's a bit confusing in the article, but I think it's 4 x 4-track EPs which are also being branded as a double LP? Actually I have no idea.
I think Ringo Starr is currently doing something similar. Release a bunch of separate EPs, then collect them all into an album to sell again later. Good marketing tactic to get some people to double dip.
 
Is the farage stuff really in there or are you taking the piss

doh:
what a KATASTROFA:censored:
the only reason its not the socoist song ever

his docile troll dramallama trolls will need to stick Mc muffins in their earso_O
who is he supposed to be in that cheap video? a triangular baby shiva?:hammer:
 
The official lyrics are given in the youtube video link. Alas, the Farage stuff is just a poster pulling your leg. :brows:

Personally, I think it's an OK song, but nothing amazing. Decent to jump around to, will probably sound good live, but not particularly deep. Johnny seems to be leaning back into his Electronic days, which is interesting. Also getting a distinct Dead or Alive 'You Spin Me Right Round' vibe.
