Headless Heroes 'The North Wind Blew South'

[MattDaveDavies]

Tilt-shift is so wonderful.

Rad and Mac had Alela Diane on their show last week and mentioned this. It is adorable :)

[destructivedandy]

Love that Rad Mac are still playing this gem :)

[MarkTrog]

Also heard this courtesy of Radcliffe and Maconie whilst trucking down to London, they play some cracking gems that i wouldn't normally hear and this is one of them.

Love it

Thanks guys

[mandywithell]

Also heard this on Radcliffe and Maconie as I was falling asleep in the cab of my lorry-entrancing

[fredrich99]

I was driving from london to norfolk also listening to Radcliffe and Maconie and heard this song . Blew me away . I thought i heard this as a small boy in the 1970s but its only 2 years old .

@fredrich99 Hi Check out this entry on You Tube, 'The North Wind South' by Philamore LIncoln circa 1968, this is a cover.

@fredrich99 Hi Check out this entry on You Tube, 'The North Wind South' by Philamore LIncoln circa 1968, this is a cover. You probably did hear it as a kid

Amazing song! I also heard it on Radcliffe and Maconie last night.

Could have been made in the psychedelic era of the 60's, which of course it wasn't!

[alexthemod1]

Like brianartillery, I heard this on Radcliffe and Maconie's show, mentioning too that they had played it a couple of years back.

What an amazing track! It is like something that was made in the psychedelic era of the 60's.

Brilliant!

[brianartillery]

First heard this AGES ago, and loved it. Messrs. Radcliffe & Maconie played it last night [14/12/10], and I was again captivated by the beauty of the vocal, and the oddness of some of the sounds. Great!

[MatthewMcVeagh]

Can't believe I could find this on here. Thankyou Stuart Maconie for flagging this one up.

[eladbari]

This song just Gave me Major Chills! :]

[manaledo]

[MuzikSuite]

Instantly seductive track.

[chinandego72]

what's the song about?

[IamNicolai]

@chinandego72 It's about the North wind that blew South, which they say 50 times in this song (=

[MrWoodman400]

Surely this is Cocteau Twins?

[Andrewjk73]

Great vocal, great song

[Maharoba]

This fucking sucks.

[MimiFriday]

Just heard this on radio 2. very nice song

[danhjersey]

Wish I was in Sydney now ! brrrrr. nice album.

[destructivedandy]

Agreed this is a great album , I'm glad I spent my money! And Radcliffe and Maconie are not old buffers! Grrr! hehe

[antsinmepants]

The whole album is brilliant. Best song is 'See My Love'. Fantastic.

[superhans]

Better off getting the Philamore Lincoln original - this is nice, but it's knocked into a cocked hat by his version.

[misterjib]

please upload the Philamore Lincoln version, i would very much like to hear it. i found a site selling a copy of the vinyl but it costs about £80 and that ain't happening.

[destructivedandy]

Just heard on Radcliffe and Maconie, off to buy album!

[sunbeam11]

Did you miss the bit where the old buffers said this was the stand out track on the album? You might want to save your money.

[joefaretra]

Haunting and hypnotic song, I'm surprised so few people have seen this. I saw it on MTV and had to write down who it was and watch it again. Is it just me or does the video look like lots of little models?

[dtrellis]

It's an effect called tilt shift photography for making real-life full scale photos look like models.

[Siberyah]

beautiful

[Strender]

Very soothing song!

[fietsenkraker]

Great song

[tonyemo]

Great sound!
