I love how he always just stands there still while singing, without any movement. Some might say he's such a bland and lifeless singer - but to me it makes all the sense in the world. He doesn't need to move or dance around or make gestures - he literally can just stand there and sing and captivate the audience. God, I love this band.
Peter Gerstenzang
I think it might be Indian stoicism too
FrankyHaemmer
No need for poses, let the musi speak, agreed.

Any Portuguese ancestry? Brazilian? Pacheco.
Peter Gerstenzang
Ditto to everything.

first time I heard this, oh so many years ago, I thought it was an extremely political statement. To take a song by the most english of english bands, a band who had taken (borrowed if you'd rather) that instrumentation and then resold it back to the english as their own... like the Stones did with the Blues...to take that back and then return it fully formed... wow... incredibly powerful...
rabbitscooter
Exactly.

Just heard the 'When I Was Born for the Seventh Time' for the first time - pretty, pretty awesome. Love this track. XX
