I dont think it would have sold well as a single. It wouldnt appeal to a wider msuic audience

8 Letters has that epic feel as the closing song of the tour, on the live album it is the stand out performace of the cd, it turned out very strong live and has the sentimental value in their aswell.
I love the live version to, the song totally comes alive and i can now understand why they choose it to close the shows.
Indeed a good end to a great show, 8 Letters is very Take That, more so than some of the chosen singles from progress, 8 letters I believe would have made a great follow up to The Flood.

Nah I have to disagree.

 

It is a very nice single but to have it as the second release from the album wouldnt have gone down too well for a couple of reasons.

1. it is a song that closes that chapter, and after the flood opening a new chapter to music and them as a 5 it would have been strange to release this second.

2. Kidz, LL and HN all are completely new songs for TT and Progress was all about emphasising this new sound 20 years on.

 

Plus i dont think the general public would have bought it unless they knew all about the TT falling out, didnt have the album, or it got alot of promo which we know was seriously lacking this time around

Maybe not second single but it would have been a perfect single to end the era, i do/did like when we were young but i think eight letters would have been a better single choice and lets face it i dont think it could have performed any worse than when we were young did. Still shocked that it never made higher than number 88.
When we were young i do like but there is no arguing eight letters could not have peformed worse in the charts.
