Thanks for posting this.
Do my eyes deceive me. The listing does not include Before You Were Young. Looks again.

It must be a mistake. Why would they remove Before You Were Young from the album?! It's a perfect last song. I hope we get the official announcement on travisonline soon.

:O Noooooooooo!
I really, really, REALLY hope that's a mistake. I've only heard bits of "Before You Were Young" on YouTube, and even from that crappy recording it sounded amazing!!! I sure hope it's on the album!

And by the way, that says J. Smith was the first single. I know they did the EP and all that, but was it the first official single? I didn't think it was. :/

The order of songs is also different from how they played it live. Friends and Get Up were in the middle, and Quite Free and Last Words near the end. I liked that better, based on those bad-quality youtube recordings. I was SO excited about Before You Were Young. The song is awesome, especially "the fireworks" ending. (as Fran described it in one of his blogs) I really hope the article isn't true. :(

It doesn't sound like a hidden track. It sounds like a possible single and a perfect closing track. I don't see a reason to "hide" it.

I thought Fran said it wouldn't be an official single and was merely a taster of the album....

That is really odd. I can't see why the tracklisting would have changed.

I haven't heard Before You Were Young, but it's nearly everyone's favourite! I really hope there's a mistake and the song's on the album!

What I've heard of Before you were young, it's a perfect ballard, possibly even better than Sarah (which I love).

where is "before you were young"??

I think will be a mistake if they don't add the song in the album, not in a single...in the ALBUM!!!

That's what I thought as well...

Geez. Now I'm all nervous. That's gotta be wrong. Almost everyone who heard "Before You Were Young" live said it was their favorite and Fran and Dougie were even talking it up big time in their blogs. *pouts* Whaaaaa! :( I want the "gong song"! :P

Oh, and Es...don't even go there, LOL!
