I lost 6 of the best friends anyone could wish for through excessive drinking. I turned into that 'terrible totem' too many times. It's easy to feel sorry for oneself, but not often easy to see it from a friends perspective. The friends who's hearts break as they watch yet another booze induced transformation of character. Spare a thought for your best friend who 'pulls at the reigns' repeatedly. Although i never felt all that beautiful, i have often since felt like a quivering, chivalrous shambles of a man. This is such a tragically beautiful song. To Guy Garvey, i applaud you. To my friends, I am sorry.
