Tom Clarke's Enemy tears
Apr 20, 2008, 6:00 GMT
The Enemy's Tom Clarke was moved to tears at their recent concert.
The band's frontman says he became emotional during their hometown performance at Coventry's RICOH Arena earlier this month.
He said: "I was actually welling up during 'We'll Live and Die in These Towns'.
"It was amazing when we stopped singing and the crowd sang. I've never heard anything like it. There were people just grinning ear to ear singing that.
"That song I wrote in a flat in Shepherd's Bush when we recorded with Owen Morris. I actually wrote it when I was missing Coventry. The lyric is really a proud, positive statement - we really will live and die in these towns."
Explaining the band's relationship with their hometown, Tom added to NME magazine: "I think our relationship with Coventry is the same as a lot of people's. It's not the best city in the world, no-one's claiming that it is. It's got problems. But you can't say how much you love the place without highlighting its faults."
