REVIEW: The Highest High by Adam Bostock E-mail

ImageRoll over Embrace! Even non-football fans are already singing THE HIGHEST HIGH by ADAM BOSTOCK.

It's been compared to Robbie Williams singing a Lightening Seeds song backed by The Doors. It's a far more rousing song than Embrace's World at Your Feet which is a rather dispassionate song and uninvolved.


Embrace is an unusual choice to front a football song given their fairly somber mode of delivery but when all's said and done the one we'll all be joining in with will depend on ultimately the most rousing and singalongable tune, not whether the band singing it have the backing of the FA, who after all run football very successfully but one wonders who makes the musical decisions. Perhaps it was based on the fact that Embrace have a large following.

As for Justin Hawkin jingoistic attempt to incite our fans to remember the war and go out fighting. Well.. it just beggars belief. He clearly needs to court controversy to get attention which is sad. Time to move on and realise that Football is only a game albeit one that makes a fortune for many and runs some people's entire thoughts and behaviour.

Let's give them all something to sing about. I reckon even the foreign national soccer teams might even join in with The Highest High.

Adam Bostock is the singer with a Bristol based band called Saturday & Sundays
