141. Pure – The Lightening Seeds (1990)

I remember watching an interview with Claire Sweeney (the girl from ‘Brookside’) where she said that there were more dancers and singers and comedians and all round entertainers in Liverpool than anywhere else outside of London. The Equity office in Liverpool was a very bust one there so she claimed! She then went on to suggest that this was because the people of Liverpool were extremely talented and ‘The Lightening Seeds’ seem to prove that is true!

I remember this song from their debut album in the charts back in 1990 when I was at drama school and I have loved their music ever since. I particularly like ‘Marvellous’ and ‘Three Lions’ (which is pretty much the ultimate football song) but love this song best of all.

I don’t know precisely why I like this but I still play it often on my way to work and just love the melody and the style of it.

Now listen to the song….
