And for no other reason – apart from the fact I was just listening to it.

Wednesday musical hangover ‘for the win’ (as “the kids” say ;-)

Early post this Wednesday as I know it’s going to be a busy day.

This week’s YouTube  pick is exactly as the title here suggests. Again, if you have Spotify, I’d urge you to listen to this on there as well, as the BBC Radio1 LiveLounge version I’m posting here sounds a little different/more raw/better/worse than the album version.

It’s a cracking track regardless, and as the opening one on the new album, All Night Cinema, marks a fine return from the man who brought us Starz In Their Eyes. The lyrics, if you are interested in them (and I was, as they are both simple and brilliantly arranged),  are:

The facts and the figures,
They overwhelm and stifle,
everything that you thought you knew.

The facts and the figures
They overwhelm and stifle,
from the very first breath you drew

The facts and the figures
They overwhelm and stifle

(Repeat on Canon)

everything that you thought you knew.
and the petty decisions that you think make a difference.
So tiny that they blow away like dust

So tiny that they blow away like dust

(Canon)
Embers, embers, embers
Through all of the devilish things we do,
( I cant help my stupid hope )
Through all of the devilish things we do,
(It’s always with me)

The facts and the figures,
They overwhelm a stifle,
everything that you thought you knew
So tiny that they blow away like dust

(Embers, embers, embers …) (Canon)
So tiny that they blow away like dust

We are all embers
from the same fire
We are all embers
from the same fire
We are all embers
from the same fire
We are all embers
from the same fire
We are all embers
from the same fire

Anyhow, enjoy!
