I saw it on TV when it was first broadcasted, nothing special.

Just bunch of musicians sung those songs in a context of Easter.

Tim Booth is obsessed by changing his image.
He doesn't like to be seen as a sensitive philosopher type, he'd like to be a tough guy.

I was there on the night. After 20 minutes standing in Albert Square, we left and went to the pub instead.

aww thank you, this was the slowest exit with naked torso I've ever seen him doing - he didn't seem to want to leave at all!

and if the multiple layers of love of his audience are his light:
it will definitely never go out !
