"Back to the Old House" on Skint BBC One programme

[Young And Alive]

On last night's episode of Skint - a British TV programme about poor people, they played a clip of Back to the Old House (Louder Than Bombs version). It was certainly nice to hear some non-"How Soon is Now?" Smiths on national TV

One of my all-time favourites. I think it's far lovelier and sadder than There Is A Light...

Love it

To me the LTB version is a very nice, charming and touching song wheras the Hatful of Hollow version is genuinely moving and beautiful. It's great that you can love two versions of the same song and love both depending on what mood you're in. At the moment I prefer the LTB version.
