      Sadly you're right. They're in my top 10 favorite bands and I live in a rural town on south US. The music world needs more talent like this.

    My daughter's favourite song at the moment, we listen to it most days going to and from childcare. Loves the 'chime bars' that kick in at 1:44. And I have to say, hearing a five-year old Australian girl (occasionally her 2-year old sister joins in) yelling out lyrics in bad Scottish accents is great value.

    Scotland as a whole doesn't produce a lot of music, but the land that Rome couldn't conquer produces only the finest poets and warriors. These young fellows and Big Country are legendary. Every time Big Country plays I get so jazzed up. These gents do the same, only I rock the standing head bob very vigorously. Too much passion all at once.

    the growing feeling, the dusk setting, the juxtaposition of growing sound and almost "playful chimes" with the seemingly passionately depressing lyrics, and the inspirational, but "hopefully" "falling apart" lyrics make this song something else entirely.

    [Verse 1]
    Right foot followed by a left foot
    We'll guide you home before your curfew
    And into your bed
    Standing on our tip-toes
    Peering through open windows
    I swear I heard my name
    [Verse 2]
    Sitting with the lights off
    Waiting for my brain to storm
    Trying to work things out
    It's thunder and it's lightning
    And it's all things too frightening
    I could barely see outside
    [Chorus]
    Your body was black and blue
    Been struck twice there's nothing new
    Your body was black and blue
    Been struck twice there's nothing new
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black
    [Post-Chorus]
    And there's thunder
    And there's lightning
    Coming home
    And there's thunder
    And there's lightning
    Coming back
    [Chorus]
    Your body was black and blue
    Your body was black and blue
    And your body
    [Outro]
    I have to say goodnight
    I'm leaving before you're punching out my lights
    I have to say goodnight
    I'm leaving before you're punching out my lights
    I have to say goodnight
    I'm leaving before you're punching out my lights

    I have to say, when I first started listening. I was like "0h boy, another EMO college inde!" But I'm glad I continued listening. The time sigs and counter bass to guitar are fun and inventive! It almost has a Brad Laner feel when the "wall of musical noise" comes that's chaos but intelligential.. At times I hear a hint of Codeine, with the melancholy melodic slow plucked tones. Overall a beautiful arrangement of music!
