12. Severin Severin sent Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart - Becoming More Like God Firstly, Severin wants me to clarify that the version of this song on the Spotify playlist isn’t the one he sent, but the youtube version is right. It was too late for me to tell you about this due to the number of votes received and the timings. Hopefully, you all listened to the youtube versions (like me) to vote and things are subsequently all fair. Sorry for the confusion, Severin. Jah Wobble is the stage name of John Joseph Wardle, the original bass player in Public Image Ltd. Becoming More Like God was released in 1994 on the album Take Me To God which reached number 13 in the UK album chart. wsgA0s2T8Js
