lyrics
Some of us will be falling at Bechers and some of us go at the chair
Some of us just because just because we don't want to be there
40 yards it seems from the winning post some jump high into the sky
It was said they carried that Devon Loch look in their eyes
When up close when up close
They neither craved the fame nor the money but failing so gloriously
reveals a new paradise
Some things in life are still worth getting excited about
In a traffic of bodies a mighty pile up occurs
Oh and then out of the clearing tis only you that's emerged
The highly unfancied the one that nobody claimed the most likely
they said in school to break a leg or end up lame
You you the most outside of outsiders
We're the 100-1 shot Tipperary Tim is our name
And some things in life are still worth getting excited about
In the national of life we're all runners and riders and some of us
the most outside of outsiders we're waiting we're still chasing
And glory is fleeting from obscurity is forever they're neck and neck
they can't split them it's a photo finish
Some of us just because just because we don't want to be there
40 yards it seems from the winning post some jump high into the sky
It was said they carried that Devon Loch look in their eyes
When up close when up close
They neither craved the fame nor the money but failing so gloriously
reveals a new paradise
Some things in life are still worth getting excited about
In a traffic of bodies a mighty pile up occurs
Oh and then out of the clearing tis only you that's emerged
The highly unfancied the one that nobody claimed the most likely
they said in school to break a leg or end up lame
You you the most outside of outsiders
We're the 100-1 shot Tipperary Tim is our name
And some things in life are still worth getting excited about
In the national of life we're all runners and riders and some of us
the most outside of outsiders we're waiting we're still chasing
And glory is fleeting from obscurity is forever they're neck and neck
they can't split them it's a photo finish

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
by Sigur RósThere is an ethereal atmosphere that envelops you whole when listening to this. Full of subtle maggot melodies that flourish with each repeated listen. I adore music that creeps up on you and BANG!

Like audio hot chocolate for the spirit. It combines a comforting nostalgia yet quite like nothing else that preceded it. The vocal and rhythmic signature changes result in something timeless.

As if breaking into an emporium, while exploring the innocence of a child like wonder with a macabre sonic under belly. It marries joy and sorrow in sparkling unity.

Introducing Blush Juliet
by Blush JulietThis New Zealand group have a sweet glaze and an underlying toothiness that would have fit right in on mid-’90s alt-rock radio.
