Formed from the ashes of the La's, Cast were one of the finest and most underrated band of the Britpop era. These Scouse lads lost their way slightly following their debut album but that album is up there with Britpop's best, filled with tunes such as "Sandstorm", "Finetime" and my personal favourite – "Walkaway".
The lyrical content of the song is pretty self-explanotary: being stuck with something and realising the only way out is to accept it's going nowhere and move on. John Power delivers the lyrics fantastically well with a real sense of heartache coming through his voice. Britpop may have been an era rife with ballads but this effort remains one of the best.
