Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you

So oddly enough I stumbled upon this absolute gem just around Easter. I know I'm a little late jumping on the bandwagon, but I have fallen in love with "I Am The Resurrection" by The Stone Roses. This song really rocks.

You get classic British indie in the beginning of this eight or so minute ballad with a pounding drum beat and a soulful guitar riff that flows throughout. Around 2:45 the guitar kicks it up a notch to lead the song bravely in to a seemingly endless instrumental around 3:30.

This has nothing to do with the Stone Roses or even Jesus for that matter

The instrumental starts a little like Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation" and the comparisons end there.

It sounds great with a gleaming sound that echos throughout. There is nothing you can really do to stop yourself from getting lost in this song. John Squire (aptly named of course) really just kills this song setting it apart from some of the other music of the time (some of my favorites of 92': Pavement and The Mountain Goats, at least in terms of Indie Rock).

Anyway this song is just amazing and should definitely be a staple in any sweet playlist you might be working on. For some reason listening to the 4ish minute outro just gets me going.
