THE CHARLATANS UK - HAPPEN TO DIE
Classic live Charlatans - great hammond from late great Rob Collins (more)
Try as I might I could not locate the lyrics for this song. This is the first time I heard that this song was about their keyboardest Rob Collins who died in some horrible accident.
The other thing which I found somewhat interesting is that singer Tim Burgess looks like the retard, (Leo DeCaprio) in, "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape?" He has the ability to somewhat defy age in his early clips.
The other thing about the Charlatans which is also interesting is that they're always backed up with a great beat. This incredible sound is matched up with incredibly dark lyrics at times. There are moments of great uplift and the overall effect is overpowering.
Even at their worst, they are worth looking at.
