But that seems to be a strong enough hook to carry the song. Agreed on the point that there's commercial potential in this, makes you wonder why Island's A&R men weren't pleading with Pulp to record this and After You with Scott Walker if they were worried about the lack of hits. The verse lyrics feel new to me as if they've been shoehorned to fit the existing chorus. Not saying they're bad or 'owt. There was another demo version with lyrics from 2000, wasn't there? There were two versions recorded at the Wessex Studios. The first, recorded in October 1999, is the instrumental with backing vocalists singing "Got to have love, you've got to have love" many times. This version has been circulated. The second was recorded in January 2000 and most likely featured vocals from Jarvis but it has never been leaked so we cannot confirm this beyond doubt. __________________ What is this feeling called live? www.feelingcalledlive.co.uk

Got To Have Love is starting to become my favourite song at the moment- theres a recording on youtube where it sounds heavy and it really tickles my pickle.. On a slightly different note, remember when Nick bought a new drum kit for the tour- Im starting to think that he got it for new material (as well as the tour)- and I think this has been building in the background for longer than we think could be wrong though.. The only reason why I say this is because I met Jarvis at his Good Pop Bad Pop exhibition in May in 2022 and I think it was one of his assistants or whoever had an iPad and quite a lot of paperwork with her, all Pulp related as I saw the screen of her iPad which had the album cover of separations in a document and had a sneaky peek at her paperwork she was holding (I saw these from a distance- I didnt rifle through them!)- I didnt think anything at the time because obviously I didnt think it was strange seeing Pulp notes around Jarvis, but it just stayed in my mind, cos it felt a little out of place Anyway- here is the link for the heavy version of Got To Have Love, does it tickle anyone elses pickle? youtu.be/gu4G9IzCNSU __________________ you know i'm always there..

Yeah it sounds heavier, mainly because the bass is better recorded by the phone; But i guess that's how they want it to sound. I really love that song too, always have when it had no vocals and even more now. Its just perfect, it was a perfect single back then, and would be a perfect single now. they just need to not treat it the way they did with After You and try to sound "modern". Keep your sound, Pulp; __________________

Keep your sound, Pulp; I Loved the demo as well- i was always curious on what it would sound like with lyrics and its completely different that i imagined- in a very good way I quite like the modern After You, I liked the original demo as well- my brother could never get into the modern version of After you though, he said it wasnt bad, but it just didnt click with him they way other Pulp songs do.. I think they are sounding more traditional Pulp with their latest music- Candidas farfisa organ sounds more prominent- Im loving the way they are sounding- this new album could be one of their best __________________ you know i'm always there..

They didn't need to add too much, just a more polished version of the demo could have been great. I think the 2013 version loses a bit of charm, it sounds less "desperate" or raw. they tried to add some which electro bits dont work at all to me. The keyboards parts are also less good, they were perfect on the demo. Just one or two notes missing and its played differently, but it changes everything. __________________

I actually prefer the newer take of After You, but each to their own. __________________ It's OK. It's just your mind.

Loving that video, Pye. Thank you. Yeah, this and Hymn of the North are definitely my faves. This is brilliant and it is calling to mind the Separations era Pulp a bit but as mentioned elsewhere all of the recent tunes are sounding like old Pulp. I'm eally loving it. It's always quality over quantity with Pulp. I liked this song already from the demos but I'm just loving what they've done with it here. Really gets stuck in my mind. This would be the single in my mind. Totally agree it should've been the single over 20 years ago too! __________________
