Divine Comedy - Bad Ambassador - Beautiful Acoustic Version

[@GarbageCat413]

Just discovered Regeneration a few days ago and it has completely redefined how I live my life. This album is slept on by literally everyone.

Such a gorgeous song. I'll never get tired of it.

[@anthip.3192]

great song!A NEW job very soon,Neil says!Hope to see him in Greece either!!!

[@paulcurrant8177]

Got the same disc from the Independent and loved it and lost it. Thanks!

[@didoma73]

Beautiful version indeed; shame Neil doesn't play it enough...Regeneration as a whole was genius

[@ivorthomas1385]

Glad to find this uploaded thanks: I have that CD as well and fancied listening to this particular version.

[@mosesosmosis131]

Me too.. Loved it immediately.

I have the very same free disc! Mine came from The Independent. I first heard this tune played by Hannon on acoustic guitar on Jonathon Ross's Saturday morning Radio 2 show about a year before this disc came out, and was totally gobsmacked - even better than this version. It really stuck in my head, and so I was chuffed to get it as a freebie in the paper. Agreed that the album version ain't as good.

Wonderful...

[@medicalnegligenceband9]

What a gem! I agree....even better than the original!

[@nuhsjus3458]

brilliant

[@DrBoobY2K]

You're quite right, it was the Independent.

[@yikesandaway1]

wow !

[@DaveDexterMusic]

I just can't get past the guitar, which has that placky thin DI onboard-mic sound. Recorded live so an artist works with what they have, but still.

[@pompeysie]

Does anyone have the chords for this version? Love it!

[@Ystadcop]

Yes, I do.

[@yairhoffman2355]

@@Ystadcop i know its five years late, but maybe do you still have it?

[@Ystadcop]

@@yairhoffman2355 Yes. I've just come up to bed now but tomorrow I'll try to send you the link that someone sent to me in the 1990s..... I have the acoustic version that Neil sent out as a sampler, just him and his guitar.

[@yairhoffman2355]

@@Ystadcop thank you

@@yairhoffman2355 Yair, I've found the transcript but there's no link. The only clue is "transcribed - Kenny J" Sorry

[@PomBare]

Completely agree with your description. I heard this version first, everything about it is what a song should be - its clever, original, meaningful, timeless - then I heard the album version and I thought the antithesis, a bog standard mediocre pop song.

[@beatchef]

I have this somewhere, but I don't know where! I love this version and I didn't know that's the only place you could get it.
