I saw a solo JD show at the Troubadour last December, and he played a few verses of a song called We Shall All Be Healed. It was amazing. At the time, it felt like one of the most powerful tMG songs I'd ever heard. WSABH is my favorite of the 4AD albums (second only to Sweden), and this was better than almost everything on that album.

Ever since, I've been trying to find more information. Google and themountaingoats.net have both been useless so far, but it feels like someoneon the forums might know something about it. A video or a bootleg of some kind probably doesn't exist (although I would love to be wrong), but does anyone at least know of any of the lyrics? Or if it's been played before? I'd heard whispers that he'd played it at a show in Denver some time ago.

It's been stuck in my head for months, but I don't know remember any of the lyrics other than the title track/the chorus. It's the itch I can't scratch, and it's driving me insane. Does anyone know anything about it?

edit: Apologies if asking about this is like talking about HaFG on these boards. I promise not to ask for it at shows.

I've never heard of this before but now I'm really curious because that's one of my favorite albums too.

Ah man would love to hear it. Wsabh may be my favorite 4ad album but I know a lot of people for whom it is their least :/

I think it's a great album; love the SONGS on the album, but not so much some of the production, I guess. ..."Against Pollution" is a phenomenal song, however I cannot stand the album reading of it. "The Young Thousands", however, is such a glorious sounding tune with that production style. JV does great work, but some of it is not my favorite. (Again with that difference between what's the "best" and what is a "favorite". A fine line.)

All that said, I remember something about this song existing, but that's I have to add, unfortunately. I remember a youtube video of it, too, I'm pretty sure. It was like forty seconds long, but after an elementary search on the internets, I've got nothing.)
