Sit Down (song)

"Sit Down" is a song by James, originally released in 1989 by Rough Trade Records. In its seven-and-a-half-minute original form, the song only reached number 77 in the UK Singles Chart (although it did make number 8 in John Peel's Festive Fifty of that year). Due to this unimpressive performance their record label's managing director, Geoff Travis, told the band they were not a viable commercial proposition beyond an audience of 20,000.

The song's lyrics were written in the autumn of 1988 as a thank-you to two women who greatly inspired Tim Booth: author Doris Lessing and singer Patti Smith. After experiencing success as part of the Madchester music scene, a new version was released in March 1991 that was rockier, shorter and with new lyrics. It reached number 2 in the Singles Chart, spending three weeks there. It was the 20th best-selling single of 1991 in the UK, one of the highest selling singles of the year not to reach number one.

After the release of their 'Best Of' album, the song was remixed by Apollo 440 and released as a single for a third time in November 1998, reaching number 7 (making it their biggest hit since the 1991 release).
