I have just listened to B.M. (studio version)...wow it has a beautiful rhythm and a magic atmosphere.
Then, the Fran voice is simply fantastic

I do ....To begin with I thought this isn't as good as the others I like but after a few listens I think , this is so interesting and atmospeherical and I really look forward to it coming on now.

I am enjoying Quite Free and Friends at the moment and always Chinese Blues :)

Hey. :) One of the six amazing songs on the album. Wasn't keen at first, started to like it, now I love it. :) Great song, as is Chinese Blues, Last Words, Quite Free, Song To Self and Before You Were Young. The others are good but those 6 are brilliant. :)

I do :) It's one of these songs you need to hear a few times. It's certainly growing on me. I like the jazzy feel about it, especially Neil's use of the 'brushes' (don't know what they're called lol)

It's my personal favourite track.

The growers are the best!

It's ok - but not the best song on the album. I would have put it as a b-side on a single, but no body knows what the b-sides they have already sound like.

I didn't mind Sarah on the J. Smith EP.

I just think Broken Mirror is too slow and not all that interesting.

It reminds me of 12 Memories...sort of darker than the rest of the album.

Definitely a grower, the more I listen, the more I like!

Absolutely agree :)

I was so surprised and even upset that majority of opinions bout thjis song are not very good.
Well maybe it's logical I like this song because I love 12 memories :)

If anyone is interested the chord sequence was inspired by the james bond theme which Clay and I were dancing to at the time. Note the subtle time signature change at the chorus when it goes from 4/4 to 3/4 just like in the bond theme. You can hum the theme to the chords...

Oh yeah, why haven't I noticed that? Cheers Fran!!
