@NatWestGroup A second hike of 0.25% on SVR despite BoE not moving their base rate!?! In 2008 the banks sunk low. 2023 they go lower #racetothebottom #morallybankrupt

@NatWest_Help Did your experts mention the opportunities for the shareholders to benefit big dividends at the cost of mortgage borrowers? A second hike of 0.25% on SVR despite BoE not moving their base rate!?! In 2008 the banks sunk low. 2023 they go lower #racetothebottom #morallybankrupt

I think the experience of the wish tour with @robertsmith and @thecure shows in this album. the experience had such a big impact on us all. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Cranes @CranesOfficial]

Everything on this album was written immediately before, right in the middle of or just after our wonderful experience with @thecure on the Wish tour in 1992 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

Forever - surely we can pay it again??? Can't we? Pleeeeaase...... #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

Rainbows - Ok, so how do we play this detuned track live on guitars already detuned??? #TimsTwitterListeningParty

GOLDEN
We played this for the first time in Rome on the European leg of the Wish tour. We had just recorded it with an 11 piece string section in the studio for the album #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

Golden - are you ready for the warm up for this @markfrancombe??? on the count of 4....... #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

And Ever - ithink this is possibly my favourite track. an absolute Jim masterpiece. Never played it. Could never do it justice. Maybe soon.... #TimsTwitterListeningParty

A month after I first heard Cranes, I flew to London and bought my Forever shirt in Selectadisc in Soho. I still have it to this day. I felt so edgy and "Clear" reminds me of that a lot. Such a big attitude #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

Sun and Sky - not played enough :-( however, soon to be rectified at the Earth gig :-) #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Cranes @CranesOfficial]

We were blessed to see how much joy @thecure gave to all those thousands of people every night for months. @RobertSmith has been a wonderful friend to us through all these years. We love the remix of Jewel he did for us #TimsTwitterListeningParty

ADRIFT
This one is about an embrace between two people under a moonlit sky, holding on for dear life…Feeling like they are on a raft which is about to drift into a storm…Not wanting to let go. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

Clear - Time for a bit more classic Cranes intensity.... #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

Adrift - OMG!!!! just an immense track from Mr Shaw, that subtle swing in the drums is fabulous. And then the impact #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Matt Cope @CranesMatt]

@markfrancombe except for the quick 'G' thrown in :-)

FAR AWAY
One of Jim’s finest moments I think! He has a natural ability for piano and string arrangements. When he was 5 he would sit listening to Mozart over and over again on a little record player #TimsTwitterListeningParty
