cus i've been down for so long that i thought hope had gone

I bought this on historic music format unlikely to receive a retro-fashionable revival CASETTE TAPE for £1.49 in historical high street store whose empty husks are being preserved to remember what happens when you get rid of the cups for Pick'n'Mix WOOLWORTHS. That'll be one to confuse the kids one day.

Anyway, it is bl00dy amazing; as Trevor Nelson said at the time, no one even clocked it was a gospel song and from that flirty little bassline that's clearly going to buy you a drank to the lilty summeriness of the whole thing it is 1x AWESOME JAM.

I think I thought it was about S&M at the time. o_0

Agreed - if this doesn't go through I will be sad.

other interesting things about this track

1. it's got auto-tune all over it, before auto-tune was all over bloody everything
2. they clearly don't need it
3. auto-tune on actually in-tune strong good voices still sounds great tho
