Near To You by Jad Fair and Teenage Fanclub

Right at the first few notes it sounds like they're going to break into Led Zeppelin's "Dancing Days"

[Timmybear]

@cudaj2 - I don't know that one. I'll have to listen and see. (I'm the right generation for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but don't really know their work...)

[Timmybear]

@cudaj2 - It does, at that. :)

[cudaj2]

@Timmybear Yeah take a listen, maybe it won't sound the same to you and I am talking about the very first few notes, not the whole intro riff or anything like that. I'd be interested about how you hear it.

Has that late 70's New York power pop attribute to his voice, not a technically great singer but it fits this song espescially with the female counter vocal.

[TheAlistairDick]

His voice is shit...but at least it wakens Teenage Fanclub out of their usual slumber

[Timmybear]

@TheAlistairDick - Oh, I love his voice. I was a little disappointed there were no Teenage harmonies, though. :(

[TheAlistairDick]

@Timmybear Fair enough. Thanks for your honesty

[FurNTatsIN]

great song. love the leather bears :D

[Timmybear]

@FurNTatsIN - thank you. I had that on an old floppy disc from the late 90s that I finally plugged into my computer to see what was on it. :)
