Well I read a comment on here stating about a post production pitch change, and I thought 'what a load of bollocks'. The more I watch this though, the more I think they're right. JDB has a very impressive range but this just doesn't seem right. Either way, agree with all regarding its beauty.
definately pitch has been changed, not saying he could reach the notes, it just sounds too squeaky to be natural..GOD BLESS THIS MAN!!! JDB forever!!!
holy fuck, I just fell in love with this song all over again! I completely worn out TIMTTMY back in -99, but some of the songs on it are truly masterpieces.
Fantastic version of this beautiful song, the simple arrangement showing how great a song it is. And James' voice is absolutely perfect. This is a great posting ! Thanks!!
It was taken from the film Beautiful Mistake, a documentary on John Cale, one of the most versatile and creative musicians around. Also performing in that film are Catatonia and other welsh musicians.
I only saw it at the cinema about 10 years ago. Wish it were released as dvd.
He is the Diego Maradona of the music industry! (without the cocaine, shooting, hookers etc.) Honestly though, he is one of the lads, and after meeting him, you could not meet a nicer guy. Not a rock dick like Bono, Kelly Jones or Richard Aschcroft. And this version of the song even betters the album version which one would think is impossible!
His voice gives me shivers Every time, especially at 3.11 - I can't help but to just pause and Listen. His voice is just Fantastic. Can't find many bands with songs so meaningful.
James is class-Miles above anyone in the charty farty carty fucky sharty shit of brit music. He is ace. xxBeats any massivefoo u2 led cold radio play queen qosa -girls aloud-i rest me case
james uncle passed away last week .Went to funeral yesterday as i was james aunties 3rd cousin He was there along with nicky and sean ...No paperazzi haha we beat them once again!!!! Anyway we dont need paps at a funeral thats sick..The manics are working on a new album so watch this space!
james dean bradfield has class written all over him. great verson from a great singer. restore's my faith in music especially with all the shit around at the moment.

the reason the vocals sound so perfect is because the pitch of the video is increased by one semitone. easily proved by playing the chords he is, they sound off, by a semitone.
a great performance is a great performance..................this guy has the greatest voice i ever heard.....up one down one, in dadgad or anything else!! he's not the greatest singer..... far from it.....but he gives it his all, and he's the most honest singer you will ever hear. And no amount of effects or production can create such a connection with a generation.
This is the first manics song that ever grabbed me (am only a young thing, only found their entire master works recently) And this vocal reminds me exactly why.
and tryweryn was flooded to make a pond for liverpool to drink from... virtually no compensation was paid to the residents, some farmers lost land worth £500,000. no reperations are being paid by the councils and such. i think thats right anyhow. top top performance, he really went for it here.
A welsh musician who made a name for himself as a member of the legendary Velvet Underground together with Lou Reed and Andy Warhol amongst other people.
Cale says about water coming to claim the streets, everyone wearing black and the water claiming you. I think the song's abotu a Welsh village that was flooded to make a reservoir.
Clemen79, it is welsh, "the country was full of blood when the water claimed the street, everyone wore black when the water claimed the land" he's talking about tryweryn I believe.
This is still a classic.

OR, in fact, he just tuned his guitar up a semitone.
But that would be too easy, wouldn't it?
