This album is incredibly sweet. If you're feeling melancholic or need some comfort, you must get this album! Poetic compositions, rich yet simple and never boring. Music that invents nothing, but if you close your eyes, it gently guides you into dreams yet to be lived. The violins, guitars, the rhythm section of bass/drums, and a simple, suffering voice often give you chills... try listening to "Finally," I doubt you can remain indifferent. My advice is to listen to this song before making a possible but recommended purchase. Well, if you like it, don't be afraid to spend money on this group because it would be well spent, and you'll have a tremendous album to play in the car or when you lie on your bed wondering whether to call her or not... if you are sensitive and easily moved, you might find yourself crying and screaming along with them... I rarely get impressed on the first listen, but this group has succeeded.
Final note: They are Irish, published by the Californian record label Anti (Epitaph). This is their 5th album, and if you’re still unsure whether to give it a listen, I can tell you that Gil Norton worked on their first album, a name that will probably remind many of some band...

02 Finally (04:53)
did you fall on your way?
its a long way down
welcome back to your place
i hope you know it now
cause its true what you say
we're the wrong way round
and the lie that cut the worst
has been resolved, then reversed
finally.. finally.. finally.. finally.. finally..
ah come on.. show the way
where you running now?
is it lack of restraint?
has you turning round
in the end, were both the same
you played your part, so your part to blame
when you want something so much,
it's drawing trouble on your life
and when you found something so good
it's hard to focus on what's right
and in the end what hurt the worst
has been resolved and then reversed
and I know it's not what you said
it's like the letter I just sat and read
finally..
06 Fake (03:59)
You're telling me I should forget you
But why?
And you're talking like I never knew you
But thats a lie
And you're playing out your game again
Why are you never on my side?
And you're telling me I should forget you
Come on the guy's a fake
What do you love him for?
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
Then what are we crying for?
And you're telling me I will regret you
But so
And you're talking like I should expect to
But you'll never know
And he's left you in the rain again
And you were always on my mind
And you're telling me I should forget you
Come on the guys a fake
What do you love him for?
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
Then what are we crying for?
I don't know anymore
Come on the guys a fake
What do you love him for?
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
Then what are we crying for?
And you're telling me I should forget you
12 Locusts (05:21)
Don't go outside tonight
the locusts fill the sky
and the devils work is never done
and the gypsy curse you wore
cant hurt us anymore
as we raise our glasses to our mouths
and its all for one
and the bells that rang in hope
are still swinging from the ropes
we thought we'd one day perish on
and the tune you never wrote
and the words you never spoke
have gathered up and need a song
I'm moving off, I'm packing up
I'm willing to be wrong..
now your giving up the ghost
to the one who meant the most
and one day when she least expects she'll know
and the words you never spoke
and the tune you never wrote
won't write itself or wait for evermore
I'm moving off, I'm packing up
I'm willing to be wrong..
