lyrics

The day came and went and the time we spent faded like a rose, I guess that's how is goes. Wanting you with me, knowing you were going to leave.

The hardest thing I ever had to do was to watch you drive away and say goodbye. The hardest thing I ever had to do was to say goodbye to you.

Days they crawl by, weeks last for years at a time when you're not with me it seems to be. Wanting you so bad, thinking of the times we had.

I have several problems with a member of this band, so I'm disinclined to like this album. However, exceptional music speaks for itself, and this album really is exceptional, from the guitar work to the vocals to the production. As painful as it is for me to write these words, this is among the best releases of the year and firmly belongs in the collection of anyone who cares about contemporary indiepop. Michael Feck

What a joy to find this on bandcamp, having missed out on the vinyl rerelease. I'd only heard Strawberry Window prior to this, but I love that song and have done since first hosting it on Radio Scotland, back in the late 80s. This is exactly my kind of music, layered, anthemic guitars and great melodies. At times, it brings to mind another great lost band, The Train Set. Fabulous stuff. richardw27
