Ever Fallen In Love




The song features a simple lead riff which forms the verse interludes and the bridge of the song which is based on an open E chord. (The song uses the following chords: C#m, B, E, D, A and is in the key of E Major.) Unlike its live brethren, the studio version feaures vintage "classic chorus effect" sounding guitar.

Like most Buzzcocks songs, the words follow a theme of sexual politics, feature high-octane-range tenor vocals with accurate and rich vibrato from Pete Shelley .

Incidentally, this almost ad-lib Shelley vibrato pattern is emulated by Ramones vocalist Joey Ramone on the 1983 album '' Subterranean Jungle ''.
