Is this the correct song title? I bought their "Highlights" album and the piece with that name is nothing like this wonderful track.

[ThomasAnthonyJokela]

I'm quite sure it's correct. When you google the lyrics, you'll find that they match the ones in the video.

How come this band never made it outside Finland. i always loved them, have everything they ever did and I have to thank an English freind who lived in Finland for intriducing me to them. Genius !!!!!!!

THIS IS MUSIC

[thomaslangbacka]

Uskomaton, "suomi-pop" ei parempaa juuri voisi olla. Loisto biisi. Loisto esitys. WAU.

[Kroisosman]

Aivan loistavaa..

This is a really haunting, very dark song. There are a few recorded versions including the spooky version on Hot Thumbs O'Reilly.

[karmineka]

The song is in the lately 2008 released Dark album....

@kestrel011 This is definitely "Grass for Blades". It originally appears on Jim Pembroke's solo album "Wicked Ivory" (under the pseudonym Hot Thumbs O'Riley). DEFINITELY worth checking out. It's "out there" in the best way possible.

[TheTelecasterhirvone]

@kestrel011 the thing is that this is the same song, but the one in higlights is from that singers solo album.

[maker47fin]

huh huh. old school proge. sf best band ever.

@kestrel011 I think the song is originally from Jim Pembrokes solo album Wicked Ivory 1972 (Love records LRCD 52). He recorded under stage name "Hot Thumbs O'Riley".

@ilkkatapio Also the band was reluctant to give a finger to commercial side of music failing to produce listener friendly music. They had a glimpse of it on Nuclear Nightclub but they lost the touch to the stone.
