wa? AFL is a totally different song. Some people prefer its single edits (I know I do).

FCOL cant be edited like AFL. AFL has obvious points where you could trim for radio. I have made my own edit that I have on my ipod. I cant listen to the 12 minute monster.

FCOL is different. its meant to be epic.

I can only see them cutting FCOL's second verse and that still too long for radio. Even if they leave the second verse and cut out the end its still too long.

No way it could be edited without loosing its vice.

If they cut out from "For taking in the rain....." to the end, you would save a lot of time, and still get the songs power and emotion across. Length isn't a problem if the song is outstanding which it is.

Why didn't they make a video for it?

i have n oidea.

probably the same reason they never made a video for these other singles:

All revved up
peel out
Midnight at the lost & found
special girl
lemon
red light
kiss is a terrible thing to waste

IICHY may or may not get a video at this point either.

It's a terrible shame that they never made video's for these songs. Imagine how epic a Life Is A Lemon video would be!!

Wario, please stop calling promo CDs "singles".

Dave · 11 Sep 2010, 10:10

Because Of You was a single... At least in Germany.

Sarge · 11 Sep 2010, 10:12

That's new to me. I've never heard or seen it anywhere. Sources?

You don't do any kind of research Wario. We even discussed the fact that "Lemon" was not released as a single.

Not to mention the other ones in your list. Sometimes you post interesting things, but this kind of stuff this isn't one them.

Oooooo, a lovers disagreement between Steve6 and Wario

this could be interesting

Evil One · 11 Sep 2010, 12:57

No Matter What was released. It is still played occasionally on Radio 2.

Yeah it was released by Boyzone in 1998 and went to number 1, but that's a separate issue. "A kiss is a terrible...." was never released. Is Nothing Scared was the only new song on the very best to be released.

Evil One · 11 Sep 2010, 13:59

MEAT LOAF'S NO MATTER WHAT HAS BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES ON RADIO 2.

Steve6 · 11 Sep 2010, 14:08

Yeah but there is a big difference in it being played on the radio, and it being released as an official single.

**Monstro** · 11 Sep 2010, 14:48

What's this then?

GDW · 11 Sep 2010, 14:52

Matter. No! What?.

Two CD's with "A kiss...." and "No Matter What" written on them, but that doesn't confirm to me they were released as singles. Why would they release "No Matter what" in 1998 when Boyzone did?

Evil One · 11 Sep 2010, 16:12

Because it was a ~~~~ up. Jim promised it to Meat and ALW promised it to Boyzone. They both recorded it and both released it.
