Travis - "Writing To Reach You"

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who knows this song here!

This is in my Top 10 favorite songs of all-time. There's something about it that makes it incredible to me. It's typical turn of the century Britpop, and it borrows chords from Oasis' "Wonderwall." It even name checks that song in the lyrics:

The radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a Wonderwall anyway?

I love the vocals, the guitar chords, the lyrics, everything. Brilliant song all around.

I love this track, especially the vocals. I think this in my top-3 for Travis songs, tied with "The Beautiful Occupation" and "Side".

Great song. Travis is so underappreciated in the US. I think "Love Will Come Through" is my favorite.

Is this the song used in the mashup "Boulevard of Broken Songs"...Green Day vs. Oasis vs. Travis vs. Eminem?

Yes.

I love this one.

Exceptional song, even though it's basically an inferior "Wonderwall". I love that mash-up, too!
