    this song goes unnoticed so much in their discography, that's such a shame, it's one of their absolute best. Gets my guts every time

    One of the most BEAUTIFUL songs every made - lyrically and musically!

    I have been with a Dublin girl for six years. We broke up over a year ago but when I listen to this song I get that special Dublin nostalgia again. Oh how I loved her. I guess I still do.

    I love the bassist wearing a Cure t-shirt; I only discovered this band this week and this was the second track I heard, I immediately thought this sounded like it could be a Cure track.
    Incredible band - so glad to have stumbled on them.

      So much better. No insult to Dan Carey, who's a really great and creative producer, but feel this song got a little bit constrained on the album.

    This album is the Irish version of London Calling. Might as well named Sha Sha Sha, if not the whole album, Dublin Calling. Now that've been cheeky.
