    Yup. That's the one. Good to see we discussed the actual one in our thread earlier.

    For me, over the last 2 nights in Manchester, 'clay' has stood out as my top track. I'm not sure if it's because it's at the end of the album, and made for a REALLY amazing, emotional, breathtaking finale to the 'first half' of the shows, but it is really really something special. In my opinion anyway!
    I'm glad to see there has already been a thread started it, if there hadn't have been, after last night, I'd have done it myself. Truly fucking fantastic!

    I do wonder why she changed the name from the source material though, she kept Annabels name after all.

    Maybe one is about a specific and the other a situation based on a specific?

    Just a guess as have not got the lyrics yet.

    maybe she just felt  bit different because its a real person rather than a fictional character?

    Or Clay is not a name but a description?

    I feel very alone in my anticipation for the "Jo" :P



    Is it because your name is Jo?





    Don't feel alone at all! From what I recall it was a breathtaking song, as was Clay, and every other song off the new album!
