Bluetonic - The Bluetones

Bluetonic - The Bluetones
4:04
Expecting to Fly, 1995
Written by Mark Morriss, Adam Devlin, Scott Morriss and Eds Chesters

By general consensus, this band seems to wear the title, whether deserved or not, of "poor man's Stone Roses," whatever that means.  The Stone Roses don't mean anything to me, personally, so I come in with a clean slate.  This catchy, jangly number is an optimistic anthem, a self-help mantra wrapped in Britpop.  It says that you can face challenges with a good heart, you can change others with a good attitude, you can heal not with time but with effort.  And if that seems a little vague, there's a more specific tack: "When I am sad and weary / When all my hope is gone / I walk around my house / And think of you with nothing on."
