wire's got more of a lou reed vibe to his voice (albeit better than reed). Yeah, so he ain't as good as james Still got plenty of interesting atmosphere about him...it's a nice counterweight to bradfield's style
He's definately not the best singer in the world, but his voice sounds bloody brilliant with this song. I'm actually quite impressed. Im not sure even James could do as well in this song as Nicky.
Oh Nicky what were you thinking?! This is a perfect resurrection of everything the Manics helped destroy in the late 80s to early 90s; spaced out, pseudo-sensual, low energy music.
his voice sounds really nice here. but live, he really is bloody awful! i'm amazed no one's yet had the presence of mind to gag him before he goes on stage, because when nicky wire gets in front of a mike, stuff comes out...
its great to see nicky singing becuase he only does backing usually, i think james is a better singer generally but Nicky makes a great change i rekon x
The thing about Nicky, I think is that he actually has a decent voice... but, during gigs.. you can't say his voice positively adds to the music. It's like he gets excited and forgets all about pitch. That, and I don't think his and James's voice blend well at all. Good song, anyway. Cheers for uploading.
this 1 is really nice thanx for uploading it, i really like the way Nicky sings there is something so honest and real about it and not polished ,i know many people will not agree with me but this can only make me happier
Great song, one of the Wire's best

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Who told Nicky Wire he could sing? Awful.
DUMBARTON1RANGERS0 2 years ago
No one has told him that.
As he's said himself, he's "a sigher, not a singer".
But I love this.

I loved this song when I first heard it when I bought the Empty Souls single. I still think it's a top song.
