| == Description == | | == Description == |
| Creepy B-side which was played sometimes in the European tour promoting [[Showbiz (album) | Showbiz]].
| |
|
| |
| Features a powerful whammy solo.
| |
|
| |
| The bass appears to be played with an E-Bow.
| |
|
| |
| The repeating guitar riff at the start of the song bears a similarity to Light From a Dead Star by Lush.
| |
|
| |
|
| == Live ==
| | The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. |
| The track was rarely played live and was only played between September 1999 and January 2000. While the known first gig is in September it is possible the song was premiered sometime before then. During the first half of January 2000 it was played at nearly every gig, however it was dropped sometime shortly after. Due to a lack of known setlists between February and April 2000, it is entirely possible, although unlikely, that the song was played up until then. | |
