YEP. Seen many terrific bands live, have always wondered how this band, this lyrisist, wasn't among the biggest. Then I came to realize being one of the biggest doesn't mean you aren't one of the very best. These guys, this lyrisist, most defintely are one of the very best in our time and all time! JUST WOW!!!!!

My brother introduced me to Del Amitri in my late teens and Hatful of Rain is on my list of most favourite albums. He passed away two and a half years ago and I have to pick my moments when I listen to them. This band surpasses many and how they're not up there with the greatest, we never understood.

I'm a huge Justin Currie / Del Amitri fan. However, I never really liked this song (Be My Downfall) very much ... until I heard the live versions. :-) Now this is one of my favorite songs by the Dels. I hope I get a chance to hear him perform live before he retires. My all time favorite Del Amitri song is Long Way Down on the Lousy with Love B-sides CD. I have never seen a live version of it. Wish he'd perform that song!

Incredible songwriting from Justin. Just blows my mind how he can dictate the entire band with just an acoustic. The harmonies are spectacular. That’s the first thing I noticed, the whole ensemble compliment each other, the transition into “drowned” is flawless and I would give my first born to shred accordion like Andy Alston.

I remember seeing this on tv in the 90s, around the time I saw them in Norwich in the Some Other Suckers Parade tour. Always been a big fan of the Dels, seen them several times but this was the first time I'd heard Drowned on Dry Land. It it a wonderful, emotive song and deserves better than to be absorbed into Be My Downfall (a song which, to my mind, remains the Dels' finest hour). A great, great band.

This song will forever remind me of a 7 year bitter/sweet affair. The lyrics perfectly describe the desire and guilt of an adulterous relationship - so good and so wrong. Del Amitri was the soundtrack to my life with her - then it ended. Saw the Justin Currie at ULU not long after the breakup and when he played this it was emotional to say the least.

Cut to 2018 and I saw them in the same venue, the same people alongside me, and it was equally as brilliant; and not a tad nostalgic. Even managed to buy a signed poster and a signed copy of Into The Mirror. Such an underrated band but, I kind of like it that way.

This song was the flip side to Del's hit song "Always the Last To Know." It's one of the few times where the B-side was better than the hit. Nick Gilder's BackStreet Noise was another great B-side (to Hot Child in the City). Downfall got me thru my first major break-up. I found it by accident, went to put Last To Know on, heard this instead. Been in love with it ever since '92.
