Great Things (Echobelly song) explained
"Great Things" is a song by Britpop band Echobelly, released as the first single from their second album, On (1995), in August 1995. The song is about inspiration and aspiration and how "everyone is hungry for something".[2] It reached 13 on the UK Singles Chart, making it their highest-charting single. The song was included on both of the greatest hits albums that Echobelly have released: I Can't Imagine the World Without Me and The Best of Echobelly.[3] [4] All B-sides to the single were re-released on the expanded edition of On.[5]
Track listings
- Tracks three and four were recorded and released within 24 hours. The music label releasing this single wanted Echobelly to give them two B-sides, so Madan and Johansson quickly wrote and recorded both the tracks acoustically in a bathroom.[2]
