I remember being captivated by this unusual, but well crafted little song, with its slightly baffling lyrics, back in 2006, around the time they were performing here in Brighton. By the way, they don't sound like anyone but Turin Brakes, it's a stubbonly individual sound.

So judging by the dates on the song comments, this one gets played about 1 time a year on average? That can't be right. I'd love to have access to the stats on songs.
 
You can. Just gotta dig a little.

That would be - Set the Dog on Fire. At least that's how my ten year old daughter sings it.

It's amusing to see all the "sounds like " comments. Just shows how everyone brings their own listening history and references to each new song. I hear a lot of Blind Melon, and now I miss Shannon Hoon.

First time I have heard them...quite excellent. Thanks Bill.  Nice change from the trip down 70's lane.

Now I really like this; this is another hit or miss band with me, but this one is definitely a hit. Love that acoustic guitar riff!{#Bananajam}

You certainly do, and it's that which takes this from 4 to 2. Cowbells belong on cows.

the most amazing thing just happened during this song. while i'm in my office listening to this, we have random classical music playing out in the hallway over the PA system. this song and the piece just playing went along perfectly, the string arrangements fit right in, whenever there would be a buildup that would peak, cymbals would crash or drums would roll. i'm giving this song a 10 for godlike because a coincidence like that seems like an act of god, figuratively speaking.



dude i'm definitely playing this album while watching the "wizard of oz" now.

...but the song still gets a 2.
