message: Doesn't it resemble the Cowboy junkies song "It doesn't really matter anyway" a lot?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.78.249.212 (talk) 07:59, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

A separate comment from another user:
Is there a cite for claiming that this single failed to reach the Top 40 because of the Christmas holiday rush?  If not, this should be removed as it's equally or more likely that a sizeable group of the fans and/or the public didn't like the song or didn't like it's divisive political themes ?

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:12Memoriesalbumcover.jpg

message: I'd heard that one of the tracks on the album was written as an attack on this catholic school in Glasgow that Fran went to, but which one was it?  Was it "Peace The Fuck Out" or was it "Some Sad Song"?  I noticed also that you have to shine a light over the lyrics in the cd booklet, or sit under bright lighting to see the lyrics for the latter song. Andrew07 (talk) 18:41, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 2 

message: "Much later, Fran Healy spoke about the album as a whole being about him working through his own clinical depression, and the twelve memories being twelve reasons for him reaching his depressed state. At the time this wasn't mentioned, but the revelation that Healy was depressed ties in with the band's decision to take longer writing and releasing their next work."
The assertion above in the Wiki article is oft-repeated on other websites, ostensibly sourced from Wikipedia. I found two references confirming Healy used the making of the album as a way of dealing with his depression but can find no sources substantiating the portion beginning with "and the twelve memories..."
When Healy allegedly "spoke" about this, was it on the radio? Did he tell a neighbor one morning while fetching the paper? This kind of assertion certainly warrants a reference. 
I am a newcomer and gladly receive your feedback!
