EVERYTHING WILL FLOW
SUEDE vocalist BRETT ANDERSON performed new material
while making his debut as a performance poet at
yesterday's BRISTOL POETRY FESTIVAL (October 14).
Anderson read a selection of lyrics, which featured
new song 'Simon', before performing a short acoustic
set which included new song 'Oceans'. The track is
likely to feature on band's forthcoming album, due for
release in 2002.
The performance was part of the Pop Celebrity evening,
the closing event of the festival celebrating the links
between rock and poetry.
Wearing jeans and a faded T-shirt, a laconic Anderson
read from songs including 'Killing Of A Flashboy',
'Trash', 'Introducing The Band', 'The Beautiful Ones',
'Heroine' and 'Daddy's Speeding'. He appeared to be
slightly embarrassed, smiling and laughing during some
of the readings.
New song 'Simon' included the words: "Simon, are you
somewhere in my soul?/Simon, where did you go?".
Anderson then pulled out his guitar to play 'Indian
Strings' and the new song 'Oceans', which included the
chorus: "There's oceans between us/light years that
screen us/Oceans that drift away/Oceans that fade to
grey."
He then concluded the event with an encore of 'The Living
Dead', saying: "It's the only other song I can play."
Speaking to NME.COM, festival director Hester Cockcroft
said: "Suede were always highly regarded as lyricists.
So I thought it would make an interesting event and a
good way to finish off the festival."
She added: "Lyrics can count as poetry, as they have the
ability to speak very directly to people. It's a debate
that's been going on a long time, who's better, John Keats
or Bob Dylan? It's the kind of thing you can ramble on
[about] for hours."
