  • There aren't many bands that write songs as good as this anymore.

    I think if you like this song then you would probably like a song that is very similar to this - It is called .... On & On and is by The Fossil Collective.

    Oh, and the video is a LOT better ...... PEACE OUT

  • Roscoe by Midlake.

    Faultless harmony singing with a hyper catchy track. The ambiguity and detached nature of the lyrics tell a story that you don't care about but want to listen to and follow through to the end anyhow. It's the wierd attraction of the uneeded that makes this a stunner. The chord structure is nothing new, but it is of the formulas that piques our emotions and is almost addictive. On or around 122-124 bpm.

    I love this track, it is as smooth as velvet and eminently listenable
