I get time and again fascinated by the song
Snelsmore Wood. It's just so powerful; full of expression, full of life.
As pure as a New Model Army song could be. I think there's some similar feeling in it as in Orange Tree Roads; I'm running completely out of words with describing it. Hearing it live is like you'd want to run, would want to fly...
It's released on
Eight studio album, but I was a bit surprised to find it on "
...And Nobody Else" Live double.
So, a further investigation tell it was made in 1996 already. A way older song what I thought. When thinking about songs on And Nobody Else -live they consist mainly about stuff released in 90's, as the live sets were performed in -98. What a cracking live set(s) it was!
I'm making my point a bit further about 90's stuff here... At times you can hear opinions about 90's era it wasn't so "good" with the NMA and some even thought then they might had split up, but I think you can hear the sheer ambition to continue Justin had when you listen to songs on
Lost Songs, And Nobody Else -live, maxi singles released during
Strange Brotherhood, as well as songs like WWTG, Aimless Desire, Over The Wire and No Pain...
I had a problem with giving a name for the thread but we're free to discuss anything concerning the topic.
Ok, curious to hear your thoughts too...
