Be Good or Be Gone

Regan wrote and produced it. The single came out on February 5, 2006, in the UK on 7-inch (BELLAV 133, with "Ice Cap Lullaby" on the B-side) and CD (BELLACD 155, adding a cover of "Getting Better" by Lennon and McCartney and the video). In the video he plays the song in several locations while his voice competes with birds in a pet shop, bus exhaust, an empty church's echo and cows in a pasture. George Graham calls it the album's opener and closest thing to a single, impressionistic rather than narrative, with a relationship as its premise and a Nick Drake-like mood. It has been used in Grey's Anatomy and Skins. We found no statement from Regan about its meaning.
