“I don’t think that it’s gonna rain again today, there’s a devil at your side but an angel on her way”
I got a tip last week from TrebleZine’s Adrian Cepeda about seven very special acoustic performances that Editors had recorded for MTV Italy. I urge you to check them out… if only to witness Tom Smith’s superb gurning up close!
I’m a big fan of Tom Smith’s deep operatic voice and many of the best Editor’s tracks are the sparser, slower ones that showcase his rich vocals. So the prospect of seven tracks with nought but an acoustic Guitar framing Tom’s voice had me jumping for joy (Although after hearing the dark brooding performances it was more mopeing for joy). The “I can’t believe you” bits in the middle of ‘Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors’ left a lump in my throat and sent shivers up my spine.
So in the end I made audio recordings of the videos and you can download them by clicking below:
