EBTG Video for "When All's Well"

----------------------
A poor quality video, but I just needed to get this one out there. You just got to love a jangly song with horns that uses "deign" and "dross." You really need the stereo separation to fully appreciate this song.

Hailing from Hull, Tracey Thorn & Ben Watt's Everything But the Girl got the name from a well-known slogan of Turner's Furniture Shop on Beverley Road in Hull, according to WikiPedia. I always wondered about that. In the 1990s, I recall hearing that Ben Watt was ill with a rare disorder. Looking that up, I found that in 1997, he published a book, Patient, chronicling his battle with & recovery from an autoimmune disorder, Churg-Strauss syndrome.

When it's dark baby,
there's a light I'll shine,
and if you're lost, I'm right behind,
cause we walk the same line

And I don't need reminding
how loud the phone can ring [how lonely refresh can be]
when you're waiting for news

Whoops, wrong lyrics...


We are not true
We are not pure
We are not right

O but still I'll steal to you at night
Too selfish by half
Too ugly by far
But when your songs have been sung, come to me
Rumours are rife
And winter blows cold
Reminds me of such wretched times
And yet all the same
I will never deign
To think ill of you
When all's well
My love is like cathedral bells

Amongst all the dross
The lies and the grief
There are so many things you just wouldn't believe
But amongst all the dross
The lies and the grief
When all's well
My love is like cathedral bells
