Dang, guys this song is awsome...i remember sitting in cinema waitin for a movie and this song was playing ..it was soo catchy i love it!!!!! great song *rates 5 star* and favourites
Yes i thought this was prefab sprout when i heard them on the radio. To bad it seems very copied. The go-betweens also sound like prefab, but they still have an own kind of style.
Apart from the fact that there's male/female harmonies I'd love to hear how else this song sounds anything like prefab sprout, in musicological or laymens terms.
I love the Sprouts and quite like Captain, but as a songwriter, I can say there's very little compositional similarity (Paddy writes longer melody lines, tends to use more obscure chords and shifts through keys throughout the song). The octaved vocals and maybe the keyboard line, but that's about it.
This is a top tune and I cannot understand why Captain aren't better known. lead singer looks a bit like Justin from New Model Army (I know its not him by the way)
They remind me of a mix between prefab sprout and another 80's band called the dream academy (life in a northern town). I love this song and the bands style, they have a definite
Saw them live in Glasgow.Truly amazing, and prob one of the most under-rated bands around today. Nobody knows who Captain are, spread the word people, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does this, or does this not, sound like Prefab Sprout? Try the track "Wax" from the same album - I thought Paddy had made a comeback!. Melodic. cleverly crafted, well produced music to enjoy without your ears bleeding. Next....Gene The Comeback!
These guys sound exactly like Prefab Sprout and I am so glad to see your comment. If you listen to Frontline (their new single), it sounds almost like Appetite.
These guys are awesome. Jus wish every1 new of them. I saw them wen supporting the feeling in nottinghams Rock City. They were immense. I went n got the album straight away n still listen to it. They have also got a tour comin up in november. BRING IT ON!!!
great band have seen them at keane tour in London and first time i heard them just fell in love with the musci sorry to claire who broke hear dress zip at the time
no you are wrong there isnt good/bad music there is only opinions
but if you still think there is only good/bad music describe to me without bein biosed and without using another song as an example (or using jesus) what is good music and what is bad music
Sounds like utter dog shit. Kinda like Prefab Sprout done by Trevor Horn...oh hang on a minute....
P.S. Anyone who disagrees with above comments is 'wrong'.Just plain wrong. There is no subjectivity in music, theres only good/bad, and its an objectivley imposed notion. And you wanna know where this universal absolute derives from? Yes....our lord Jesus.
I saw the supporting Kean, they were amazing, but her dress broke. I love this band so much, i never stop listenin to them, both on my ipod and my cd player! i wanna see them again so bad!
how beautiful is the keyboard girl, they got like kinda a ruff (man) smooth (girl) thing going on with the vocals sounds well good, i was searching for this song for ages heard it on the radio then finally found it today on the back of they're cd in hmv, anyway great band.
Living through the eighties pop music was bad enough the 1st time... thanks for reminding me how horrible it was.
