Garvey sings the Birds reprise?

Never, however, has an influence been so in my face, but wow did the Scratch My Back experience influence them. This has recent Peter Gabriel all over it.
The agenda, both thematically and musically, was set by "Jesus Is a Rochdale Girl," a minimalist, Eno-esque track based on Garvey's earlier poem he wrote about his first love. "I think our records have always had light and shade to a degree, this one more so than the others", commented Garvey. A couple of times, when struggling with lyrics, he made trips to Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Wiltshire to "share thoughts" with its owner. On such occasions the frontman communicated via video calls with his band, which, on some occasions, had to place the laptop on top of the piano and play the latest versions of songs to virtual Garvey.
I saw this on Wikipedia:
Crazy that the song that "set the mood" of the album is the one most of us dislike the most.
The middle part is pretty boring though and I hate the reprise of The Birds. What an awful voice that man has.
BARB!
Lance's mom says 69.
remind us why we ever liked you?
To me the biggest disappointment by far was Duffy.
I like this album, so who cares if it's not as good as their previous work, that doesn't make it a bad album.
I like the album a lot.
That is all.
