My favourite album of all time,staggeringly brilliant...this song is so beautiful,it always makes me feel emotional no matter how many times i hear it..Mr Townshend is a total genius.
This is beautiful. This song makes me feel nostalgic, reminiscing about better times in my life. In my opinion Quadrophenia was Pete's greatest accomplishment as a songwriter. It is still one of the most powerful works of music ever recorded.
I love Roger, but being able to hear Pete sing one of his greatest works somehow makes you appreciate his brilliance even more. Whoever it was who gave this world the gift of Pete Townshend: THANK YOU
Darth, this one isn't included on the "Demos For Quad" boot that is out there. Any idea where I could find this one on? Just awesome. I'm in the middle of the Wilkerson Bio - great read.
I hope that you know how cool you must be. This album meant the world to me (means the world?) and this track is the apex. Sweet. I love you. Come sleep on the beach.
it has the Lifehouse style...

I like the demo of Real Me, but Sea and Sand without the drums is... so empty.

This is my favorite Who song. It has great lyrics throughout the whole song.

Townshend is the master of melody, just as good as McCartney.

Always adored Pete's voice.

An absolute gem from Quadrophenia. Also one of my favorites. I was so glad this found its way on to the Rock Band Who pack.
