The sad fact remains that this song was HUGELY ignored by Commercial Radio in NZ when it first came out. Thank Christ for Student Radio and National.

+Stuart Jacobs What I find so disappointing is the fact that these same clowns are wanking these days about what a great song it is,. I mean hello- takes you nigh on 20 years to appreciate a classic?And not just SJF. I mean my vinyl collection includes plenty of stuff that's on fairly high turnaround on "Classic" hit radio now but you would never have heard peep from back when it was first released because Commercial radio just wasn't interested in it.

Straitjacket Fits were one of the best bands to come from the Flying Nun label, some years ago I asked Michael Gudinski why they didn't get a bigger push in Australia. Apparently Shane Carter was difficult to deal with, and promoters outside New Zealand wouldn't put up with his demands.

Lyrics: And I quietly count with her gone Name any number and I'm counting beyond Playing it coolly, though you know it isn't even really there Caress one night away, I was looking for more More, more, more But she She speeds Elusive as a thief in the night, she's stealing away She rides the wind, she burn, burns Yeah she rides the wind, she burn, burns And her speeding, her freedom's what's appealing to me to stop her in her tracks Match an act with flat tactics of attack These eyes may be steady but my cigarette is shaking With way deep saying, why don't you leap in But she, she goes, so no Leave it, but you know at times it seems oh I need her more than my mind Yeah, I need her more than my mind Oh I need her more than my mind

one of those REALLY FUCKING GOOD songs. biggest regret of my life aside from fucking up a relationship is being at big day out 2005 standing in the crowd for shit band Hatebreed while Dan Carter was playing on the stage across from them. I kept looking over like...maybe i should go over there. I was dumb. Hatebreed sucked.
@BevanKay7 жыл бұрын
I'd barely call myself a fan, but I was there at this Hatebreed performance and it really left an impression on me. I don't expect hardcore from that error to be everyone's cup of tea, but as far as performances go Hatebreed were phenomenal on this day. This band is also amazing and make you realise NZ has created some pretty cool stuff over the decades.
