I first saw XTC in 1978 at the corn exchange in Salisbury. I’d just bought the 3D EP , dyed my hair purple and joined a band in Andover. I remember we were outside the Salisbury gig queuing up and these 4 geezers joined the Q just behind us. It was the band. AP was wearing a big fluffy red jumper so they stood out in the 70s grey. We had our one and only chat with them. We went on to see them 6 or 7 times. I’ve been a fan ever since and I’ve carried on writing and playing to this day. Now we are officially ancient Britons, the world has been a better place with the music of XTC. 😊

Do you know what noise awakes you Every morning from your bed A-coming from the farthest hillside A-coming from inside your head ----------- You have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can think of Louder than tanks on the highway Louder than bombers in flight Louder than noises of hatred Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love Powered on the the beating of hearts And did you know you had this power? Drumming on it always stays Never try to use it badly Tunes of good are all it plays You have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can visit Louder than tanks on the highway Louder than bombers in flight Louder than noises of hatred Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love Powered on the the beating of hearts For a heart without love is a song with no words And a tune to which no-one is listening So your heart must give love and you'll find that You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening You have heard You have heard the loudest sound In this and every world you can think of Louder than thoughts of dictators Louder than rattling swords Louder than loading of rifles Louder than screaming warlords Louder than tanks on the highway Louder than bombers in flight Louder than noises of hatred Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love Powered on the the beating of hearts

oh wow this song ages REALLY well. I love when people discover XTC at maybe a more accessible period then go find Go 2.......

That guitar style, I really had to check because my mind was convinced Adrian Belew was a guest on this song.

Always liked this one but it was quite a turn from their earlier stuff......Mummer was underappreciated at the time, remember it well but thinking it had some really great material on it. This was a highlight and thankfully a lot of this has been reassessed.

Es sobrecogedor escuchar esta canción hoy día, con la guerra a las puertas. Guitarras increíbles y una batería que late como un corazón. Que la oigan en todas partes.
