  • Beautiful

  • The wailing-sounding instrument is a guy playing a saw, blows my mind.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @popsceneblur06

    very true............youre stupid

  • @ablurida The demo is kind of like the Beagle 2 version but a bit faster and without the intro of the Parklife version. Guitars have more distortion too.

  • @t0rment2004 oh is it like the Beagle 2 version?? It's much better than the one on the album...

  • It almost sounds like Clint Eastwood at the start, and frankly the beat of it sounds similar throughout.

  • @ablurida Alex wrote it as a rock song, Damon reimagined it as a Syd Barrett homage. It had a lot more words originally. I think the demo for it is on YouTube.

  • This was really great. That must be a bitch of a song to cover - I'd say it took ages to learn the lyrics!

  • damon es un genio!!!, pero dio'! como le silba la "s" !! lastima! ^^
