HOORAY HIPPIE MUSIC IS BACK!!!!!!!!

[TheSavoyBallroom]

Mark Heap and The Leisure Society, two of our favorite things..

The Savoy Ballroom

[somethingdaft100]

this is simply...a top tune!! and they were really good at the end of the road festival...:)

[manuntamarco]

i love this song and the way this band is existing ;-P

[TheEgoDrain]

Everyone has differing opinions it seems. '..Damp Matches' is some peoples favourite song ever, some people hate it. My personal favourite on the '..Murky Water' album is 'Just Like The Knife'.

[Superdracula]

@musicpeicho I shall forever remain an amateur is one of the best songs of the year. We must be listening to two different albums them

[toiletturtle]

my teacher is in this band arent you mr.bonehill !!

[pandakoi]

@musicpeicho It's 'Murky Water', fool! And I happen to disagree. This album was (in my opinion) simply beautiful! With the exception of 'Our Hearts Burn Like Damp Matches' which is a pretty dull song, and perhaps a couple of others, the whole album was gorgeous! Take 'you could keep me talking' for example... that song is so, so lovely! And their lyrics are just so rich and thoughtful and wise. Maybe it didn't do it for you, but just have a closer listen. x

[musicpeicho]

First record was a masterpiece. Second record including this song is very disappointing ,average and soon to disappear in oblivion.I was expecting a lot more from Into The Murky way. Hopefully Nick will do better next time

@SusanBasko I thought some of the messages in this band's lyrics and song titles also didn't suit the 'vibe' of the band's sound (which I love); Sometimes the essence of an artist or group of artists doesn't match with that of the content I guess, but it still works as a great piece of art and this case, an excellent song and fabulous album.

[adecentusername]

@SusanBasko I smashed a guitar once, because I was meant to be playing Father Jack Hackett from Father Ted in a role-playing pub crawl. It was out of a desire to win the pub crawl. And it was my guitar. And it already had a crack in it from where my flatmate had dropped a wok on it. So a bit different.

Maybe they could edit all that in, and have Mark Heap playing Father Dougal instead, and it'd all be much better. Directors love completely re-editing their videos after they're published.
