This is fantastic, David. My initial reaction was, This sounds very similar to The Cure, but quickly realized it was “Plainsong”. They wrote some such truly heartfelt amazing music, and Robert’s lyrics are hauntingly beautiful. Definitely a favorite band of mine, and you even had the pleasure of playing with them. When I started my 1st band ever at around 14 or 15 years old, “Just Like Heaven” was the first tune I actually played with other musicians. That magical moment had me hooked right there, and knew I had to play more.
