It is dull. It is repetitive. It isn't interesting at all. I think it is one of the worst Travis album tracks. At least 25 b-sides are better than Get Up. Quite Free sounds beautiful. Fran's voice is amazing and it takes you on a jouney from one moment to the next. It is the best Travis song since The Invisible Band.
Oh, i feel terrible when i say something bad about a Travis song, especially when my hero Fran reads the board. I like to be honest because then it gives the positives more weight. If you get what i mean. And Travis have plenty of positives going for them. :) |

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
:P Just kidding, Ben.
See, you love "Quite Free"...and you talk about it as if it's the greatest song ever. I like it a lot, but it's not my favorite. I even think I like "Get Up" better than "Quite Free." It is really funny how different people's taste in music can be.

I could name 25 better b-sides right now if you want! ;) No, it isn't the greatest song ever. It is my favourite Travis song since The Invisible Band. I know! I find it actually quite scary that a fellow Travis fan likes Get Up more than Quite Free. THAT is weird. ;) lol But then again, some people don't like Used To Belong. Different opinions on individual songs by a band we all love! Strange really, in a way. |

| I suppose you have to have a link with a song ... perhaps Ben find's it easy to get up in the morning! lol The song makes me smile cause years ago I hated getting up in the morning and my dad would come through with a cold flannel!!! lol So I guess the song has a bit of a hidden meaning for me ;o) |

Dads! Mine used to turn on the lights, open the window and pull my duvet off. When I lived on my own I had three alarm clocks, one of which was so far that I had to get up to turn it off.
Still, Get Up is my least favourite song of the album, but it works well in the entity. |

| No, I'm the worst person in the world at getting up. I just find the song repetitive and a bit boring. It's not a bad song but compared to other Travis songs it isn't very good. And it's easily my 11th favourite on the album. I really love all the others, especially the 6 I named earlier. :) |

LOL they are fun aren't they!!! Mine was a Royal Marine and he used to check my room over with his white gloves along the tops of the doors... took me years to remember to clean up there! lol |
