"EVER FALLEN IN LOVE" BUZZCOCKS (1978)

The first time I heard this punk anthem was when I came across the Fine Young Cannibals cover. After hearing it, I went back and listened to the original. I’m not well versed or particularly wedded to the punk scene, but I’ve asked myself many times since: how the hell did I miss this band? In “Ever Fallen in Love”, they took a human experience that many can identify with, and translated it with such simplicity and conviction. Two traits of a well-crafted punk song made to withstand the test of time.

“Ever fallen in love, in love with someone, you shouldn't have fallen in love with? I can't see much of a future, unless we find out what's to blame, what a shame. And we won't be together much longer, unless we realize that we are the same.”
