Only that it gives me no goosebumps but is totally mediocre.

Well, you said it all (or almost): Junkie Doll revisited with the slide guitar. Surely it is a melody and a rhythm to which our Mark is very fond of. Very pretty.

I know the original song very well but I guess you have to be a football supporter to get the full impact of this song ... it does absolutely nothing with me apart from thinking okay now he plays that song on a slide. Hm. Why oh why. There is absolutely no emotional depth in that Junkie Doll Riff and that solo although  the lyrics about his Dad might have implied otherwise.
Second-Hand emarrassment is my momentary main emotion when hearing this, sorry.

I don't like the intro.  It sounds like a load of wrong notes.   Toe-curling!    :disbelief

Its also one of the important songs of my favourite club 'Feyenoord' and indeed, the solo hit me emotionally. I love it and give me goosebumbs every time.

It hits me emotionally even without football :lol

By the way, a very hardcore arrangement on this one. I figured it out on guitar and it has many, many cool chords in it.

This is the "You'll Never Walk Alone" part:

This song doesn't sound anything like I had expected.  From what I had heard about Mark's Dad in hospital etc I had expected a sombre sounding song with a couple of lines from YNWA played quietly at the end like Bonnie Banks was played live in WII.

It's not all it could've been but Junkie Doll is a good song.
