To this day I have no clue as to why Justin Currie is (i) not widely acclaimed as one of the best songwriters of the past 40 years, nor (ii) why is he not covered by Country music artists on a daily basis.

Such a great song that does not get the attention it deserves, the line "yeah, sure you gave some girl your heart But you never used it anyway" is probably one my most personal del amitri lyrics and probably my favorite of all their lyrics.

Please check out this Del Amitri blog post I wrote a few years https://theshogunstein.blogspot.com/2018/07/lifelong-del-amitri-fan-reminisces-and.html

That's really good to hear Linda. Over here they still seem a well kept secret . In the "if you know, you know" bracket. Plenty more del Amitri on my Substack. A musical using their songs. An in depth comparison between Waking Hours and Taylor Swift's 1989. A long ramble on why they mean so much to me and a couple more songs I've taken a close look at. You could say I'm a fan 😊
