My New Favourite band: Who's Yours?

[got_lost]

I heard James Morrison on Elan I like that pretty much.]

JAMES MORRISON

I've run into him a couple of times!
He gave an impromptu performance at a gig I was at last year in London then again in July he arrived on stage to accompany Jason Mraz in 'Details in the Fabric'

He's great!

So's this song!
'Tis my song at the mo

My new favorite band at the moment is "The Airborne Toxic Event" and here is my favorite song by them, "Sometime Around Midnight".

YouTube - Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event (Official Video)

Beautiful song about lost love.

Lyrics:
And it starts...
sometime around midnight
or at least that's when
you lose yourself
for a minute or two

As you stand...
under the barlights
and the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while
and the piano's this melancholy soundcheck
to her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
you haven't seen her
for a while

But you know...
that she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
she's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
she walks up and asks how you are
so you can smell her perfume
you can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there's a change...
in your emotions
and all of these memories come rushing
like feral waves to your mind
of the curl of your bodies
like two perfect circles entwined
and you feel hopeless, and homeless
and lost in the haze
of the wine

And she leaves...
with someone you don't know
but she makes sure you saw her
she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
your blood boiling
your stomach in ropes
and when your friends say what is it
you look like you've seen a ghost

Then you walk...
under the streetlights
and you're too drunk to notice
that everyone is staring at you
you just don't care what you look like
the world is falling
around you

You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her

and you know that she'll break you
in two

Wow, someone else listened to that Neon Neon album? Thought I was the only one. If you haven't heard the album Boom Bip did with Doseone from Subtle and cLOUDDEAD, you need to check it out. And if you like Neon Neon, you'd probably like Cut Copy if you haven't already heard them, or Glass Candy.
