Five Songs By Bernard Butler

Good Evening

That's been a long time since I've heard Bernard Butler's albums. This former Britpop band Suede guitarist, which was ranked at the 24th place as one of the greatest British guitarists ever, had a short solo career, too short for my point of view. I've got the copies of his two full albums: People Move On (1998) and Friends & Lovers (1999), as well as his single Stay (1998) of his first album. On his solo albums you can find some songs which were inspired by Nick Drake as well as songs which seems that were taken from a hidden Suede album. Hoping to hear him again singing on the stage, here are five reminders for his great music, enjoy

1) Stay Taken from People Move On (1998)

2) Cocoon Taken from Friends & Lovers (1999)

3) Smile Taken from Friends & Lovers (1999)

4) You Light The Fire Taken from People Move On (1998)

5) The Sea Taken from Stay (1998), B-side Track

Suede's Best # 3

Hi There

On the third part of Suede's discography you can find songs from each era. From their wonderful debut album, Suede , I've chosen one of their greatest hits, Animal nitrate (Youtube, Lyrics). Each time I hear Butler's Guitar on the openning of this song, I feel like I've been thrown back to the 90's.



From Their second album, Dog Man Star: Deluxe Edition (1994), I've got Heroine (Youtube, Lyrics), which is much Rocky than other Ballads on this album like Black or Blue (Youtube, Lyrics) with thos thrilling lines: "I don't care if you're black or blue, me and the stars stay up for you. I don't care who's wrong or right and I don't care for the U.K. tonight so stay, stay". 


Of course they've done a lot of covers. One of them, taken from Help: Bosnian Relief (1995), Is Shipbuilding (Youtube, Lyrics) which was originally sung by Elvis Costello. When Anderson Sings Costello's words: "It's all we're skilled in, We will be shipbuilding, With all the will in the world, Diving for dear life, When we could be diving for pearls" You can't easily differ who wrote this song. 



Staurday Night (Youtube, Lyrics) was the third single from Coming Up (1996) and picked #6 on the British chart, but I'd rather preffer By The Sea (Youtube, Lyrics) which was hidden in the same album, one of suede's greatest ballads.


Sci-Fi Lullabies (2 Cd-Set) (1997) got four songs in here: To The Birds (Youtube, Lyrics) which was the B-side of their debut single, The Drowners. Graffiti Woman (Youtube, Lyrics) was the B-side of the  final single of  Coming Up [ENHANCED CD] (1996) called Filmstar, High Rising (Youtube, Lyrics) which was the B-side of Glorious So Young from their debut album and Jumble Sale Mums (Lyrics) which was the B-side of Saturday Night, that I mentioned above. 


Only one part left, Stay tuned...
