Right, so I know this is probably a redundant post ... & I know this is a song constantly covered by so many different bands the list must be endless at this point ... but has that _ever_ stopped me before ... *NOPE !!! ;)*I still remember the day in jr high, very sunny, on the back of the bus heading home ... Mike Smith, the youngest & cutest of the Smith clan had me give it a listen. He had already introduced me to Dead Kennedys & Suicidal Tendencies & the Sex Pistols ... I got him to check out the Descendents ! But on this sunny day in particular, on the back of the bus, he played me this song, & it forever changed my opinion on love songs ... I always thought it had to be _Lionel Richie's Hello_, or _Richard Marx Right Here Waiting_ ... maybe even a little _Depeche Mode Somebody_ (look at my music collection & if you still want to bust my chops on the Lionel & Richard selection so be it - plus you already know I love the Marx Man (prior admittance) ... But a song of such heartache, pain & love coming from a Brit Punk band who began their career in the 70's ... ahh sweet, sweet Buzzcocks, sweet, sweet Mike Smith ... Thank you for changing my perspective ... for showing me the way :)So here's the version that started it all:... and for you lot who aren't as "punk-friendly" (shame on you by the way) ... May I suggest the Pete Yorn spin on the lovely tune from the buzzing boys of Britain !Some nice anime as well ... so there's something for all the ages here in MOGland :)
