Stellify Ian Brown

I love this song. Not since James ‘She’s a star’ has a song seemed to sum up all I want someone to feel about me. I wanna be adored. And to make me feel good listen after listen. The plinking piano. The horns. The simple but blinding lyrics. The beat that can only be marched to in simian fashion. I still remember 20 years ago – Kate just a toddler, Pete not even a twinkle – going to visit Robert in Norfolk and him putting the Stone Roses on and asking when I thought it had been recorded. Twenty years on I hear the strains of Made of Stone or Fools Gold drifting from Pete’s room. A nostalgic sound for me. A relevant sound for Kate and Pete. A product of the time but simultaneously timeless. And twenty years on without any forced reunion or regurgitation of same old sound (sorry Noel), Ian swaggers on.
