I suppose it's no worse than some of Bob Dylan's lyrics and I like/love a lot of his work.

These guys have a way of writing a good tune; I love their voices—-this is one of the more mediocre but I still like it.

Great tune. Takes time to get into the flow, but then the vibe sticks with you.
And seamless transition from Moby.

So, are Turin brakes big fans of Duran Duran or something?

A strange band are Turin Brakes. I bought Ether Song when it first came out and while i do still listen to it, the production seems very harsh, almost brittle at times. Maybe this is better produced.

You got your wish, this one was removed from regular play.  I think it was a mistake, this is an incredible song.

I suppose it depends on the time you listen to it. Now it's 4am, late wednesday, early thursday. End of the night shift soon. Just the perfect tune for this moment.
