Dubstar - St Swithin's Day

[gordonw01]

Not bad actually.

But just not anywhere near the emotion of the Billy Bragg original,for me.

[billmacp]

one of the all time greatest cover versions

[cabraibex]

The melancholy... I get this tightening in my chest whenever I hear this. Powerful stuff

[iain075]

@cabraibex You too?

[kethry25]

After listening to this song - I'm not so manic now.

[vicariousshame]

The line "I miss the thunder I miss the rain" is in my head all day. So I Google searched it, and this is it.

[cookandy42]

@V45Rider I struggle to understand how people can't see it either...the song on this album My Start in Wallsend still grabs me to this day...when it was first out I was going through a terrible time and I nearly melted the CD! can't find it on here though I'm afraid....

[V45Rider]

This brings back so many memories ☺ I'll never forget when I discovered the song "Cathedral park" and was just blown away by the emotion! Their music is just so well done, hard to imagine anyone NOT being affected by them ♪

[ariellevonglitz]

loved this song since I was 15....!My Dad was a fan too!

[impartial67]

great album too

[mikealx68]

Masterpiece. What a fine album it is.

[nikamota]

This song made me "feel" is all am going to say,in fact,this song and "Not so manic now" made me feel emotion.

I like feeling emotion,maybe its because im a human being.

Many of us humans have forgotten what we are.

You wont remember what we really are if you keep watching shit like Eastenders,those characters portray human being as day to day negative miserable bastards and then you all go and copy it in real life!

Stop watching soaps.

My thoughts are enough btw,i have put them out there..

[sportgrappler]

My favorite Dubstar song.

[greendragonsbane]

just cool song,brings back so many memories of my younger days.great music.album is cool.

[salmon642000]

Love this song - revisiting all my old albums and this is top notch. Great Billy Bragg song. God I miss the oldies with the sh*te in the charts at the moment.

[DjJohnnyM68]

Sarah Blackwood has a newer band now called Client...the music is quite a bit different, but still good.

[tinkerkor]

They always knew how I feel...

[sulladrum]

There was a great live performance of this song. does anyone know why it was removed? Ms. Blackwood, if you had it removed that was a big mistake because it made me find out what you're up to now.

[drenn63]

It's been a good saturday night and hearing this fine tune again has been an excellent end to it.

[apples091]

I think Bill would like this, flattery etc!

[gavins1970]

God I ain't heard this song is years .Brings backs sooo many memories.disgraceful was a great album.cheers for uploading

[thallassocracy]

Billy Bragg is one of the finest British songwriters since the 1960's - but his songs usually suffer because they are almost impossible to produce in credible cover versions.

But Sarah Blackwood can do anything.

[StonefieldJim4]

@thallassocracy A bold claim, followed by a compelling assertion. Either way, this version is sublime.

[tml4873]

@thallassocracy What do you mean by "suffer"? I don't see why cover versions are needed to appreciate original songs. All the same, this is certainly a listenable cover that does sound a lot different. I still prefer the original rendition by a large margin.

[bazzermn]

I love what the bassline does at 3:02.

[airlegend82]

class

[enk58]

this is an INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL SONG from their magnificent album

DISGRACEFUL!!! AWESOME!!!!!

[longlonggone]

I saw them in Newcastle - at the Mayfair (RIP) - and I met them afterwards, they were really canny. Happy St Swithin's Day everyone.......

[lilplinky]

i am one!!! xx

[VonGizzle]

I bought this album at random on holiday in london when i was about 16, looking for something new. I have honestly never met another dubstar fan!

[EidurK]

whoa, the same thing happened to me, I was 18, random holiday in London and managed to grab the 1st edition of th CD (the one who was censored) and... never met another fan in my life!

[talldark77]

Awesome song, possibly one of the best riffs of all time and her singing is stunning - totally beyond me how anyone can prefer the BB version to this but everyone's different I suppose!

[madferit87]

Such a beautiful song... thanks for posting it :)

[dartmouthhoop]

This was up (live version) a couple years ago...Dubstar at a German music award show...prefer the BB version but glad this is up....one of the greatest love songs of all time imo.

[tairanokiyotsune]

strings, pause, one of the best moments of a great album

[LavaLampBlob]

Sarah sang this live accapella at least once - just beautiful.

[reedyboyo]

best song on the album

[kenhomhotwok]

does anyone know this is a billy bragg song? i've just stumbled upon it, i think it's great!

dubstar makes me feel old now...

[thegapputt01]

Its weird I like the Billy Bragg version much better, but that could be because I heard it first and am used to it. Perhaps if I had got to know this version first, I might like it better. Strange that.

[flashnorm]

I've got the "Disgraceful" album on both tape and CD :)

[jooejam]

Love this song been looking for it for a long time, thanks for posting it. Where did you find it ?

[flashnorm]

I did look for one before posting this, couldn't see one on YouTube. It might just be that it hasn't been put up though...

[bograt101]

Was there an official video for this?
