Yes, I find this group is growing on me as well.  I like the way the singer's voice so well conveys adolescent yearning and intensity.

Something about this song grabs me when it starts. Maybe the cello arrangement. It holds promise, but almost delivers. Want to hear more of this band.

I LOVE THE VEILS!!!!  I'm so sad they broke up.  Album 2 wasn't as good as the first.  This whole CD was so amazing.

You know, the vocals ARE terrible. But for some odd reason I don't mind at all. If he started singing Rigoletto, it wouldn't work. But as "bad" as the singing is, it adds to the particular sound of this piece of music, making it rather interesting, at least to my ears. 

Tom Waits.
Bob Dylan.
Bryan Johnson.

et al. 

At least its not some manufactured autotune pop-vocal.

I like Black Labs too - great dogs to go walkies on the mountains with.

Does this singer have a bad case of adenoids, or what?

I don't get the Lavinia / Lucia dichotomy.

The Canada Goose, so fierce, with teeth on its tongue.
I agree, his voice is a bit contrived.

Here ya go...
Happy now?

See my love is asleep on the floor
In a pose that's familiar
See my sun will just send you to war
If the battle don't kill you

But I've changed in mind
She's calling all the time

That I don't want to live in your side
Though the rose is vermilion
And I find it so hard to survive
Without when within you

My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia

All the years buried under the floors
And the wounds in the parlour
Would have come up to greet us before
If it weren't for my heart because

I've her name in mine
And it's calling all the time

For my sweet Lavinia.... 

See my love is asleep on the floor

In a pose that's familiar

See my sun will just send you to war

If the battle don't kill you



I've a change in mind

She's calling all the time



But I don't want to live at your side

Though the rose is vermilion

Cause I find it so hard to survive

Without when within you



My sweet Lavinia

My sweet Lavinia



All the years buried under the floors

And the wounds in the parlour

Would have come up to greet us before

If it weren't for my heart because



I've her name in mind

It's calling all the time



For my sweet Lavinia



Lucia my love, in the darkness shine

Lucia my love, and you're not mine

Lucia my love, in silence so long

Lucia my love, no promise no more,

Lucia, I walk this unknown

My Lucia my lover my own

Lucia, my love, i leave here soon

Lucia, my love, my life's over when I come home

Lucia, Lucia... two three four

I like the comments, like this one, so funny : )
Love this song, may be because I don't need to understand the lyrics (still difficult to me to get it at first listening). May be I am being lucky?

I don't hate the vocals — I actually sort of like them. I just wish the producer had mixed them a little more behind the music.

I do so hope he gets a room with padded walls, you certainly wouldn't want
him spreading his misfortune.

Love this song and if you get a chance please check out the video for it.  Excellently made and just melted when it draws you in.  Can't say where or I will give away part of the musical journey on film.

Hits a fine line between annoyish and appealican.  So far, I give it a 6.

There is not a single surprise to be found in this song. Every chord change, when not repeated ad nauseum, is telegraphed. Every melodic phrase is exactly what a decent songwriter would discard because it's so obvious. Every change in dynamics is conventional. Hey, I'm glad we live in a time where pretty much anyone can produce a decent sound from their laptop, exponentially increasing the number of musicians publishing albums. But at the same time I mourn the consequential decline of SONGWRITING... This song sounds good, but there's nothing to it. Solid 2.

 
right and everyone with a keyboard is a critic
relax and enjoy the music maybe you'll find a chord change you like
