Heard this voice peeking through the din of a busy restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, of all places. There’s something about his voice that’s resigned and strong at the same time, saying such bittersweet words, that got me hooked. Lovely, hidden gem of a song.
I'm an exiled Manc' (well more a Lanc') living in Norfolk. 9 years ago I got diagnosed with MS so I used all the money that me and my wife had ear marked to go towards a new house and bought a Swanky British '60s convertible classic car. I didn't know how much longer I'd be able to drive. We blasted up to the Northwest for a holiday where I grew up. This song, in fact the whole album, (but especially this track) provided the soundtrack for that great holiday. Seen Kloot several times since - love 'em. Cheers for those memories John!
Hope your doing well pal and that british classic convertible isn't pissing to much oil.. and remember british built motors don't leak oil they're just marking their territory.
Such a stunning song, we can only hope that one day the world shares this view and recognises I Am Kloot for what they really are: Simply one of the hardest working and best bands currently out there. How can these guys not get the success they deserve when there's people who walk into fame just by going on shitty talent shows!
Sheer brilliance, the greatest band most of the world have not heard of. Hope they do get the recognition they deserve for writing some of the best music and lyrics in recent years.
I came across this the day my wonderful gorgeous partner was told there was nothing more they could do for his cancer. We're living every day as if it's our last
Brilliant song by John Bramwell that will always remind me of my friend Hazel Davies, who passed away recently. It was played at her funeral. She was a force of nature and loved Liverpool and the Northern Skies. 💔
great vid, superb song. As an exiled Northerner good to see Manc' refs. I remember driving down Bury road with my Dad. He always used to crack a joke about Salford Van Hire being a famous Lancastrian painter.
The Lead singer of I AM KLOOT Johnny or John Bramwell as he now refers to himself as crdited on their latest Album "Let it All In" [2013] once reffered to himself asJohnny Dangerously, I have an 80's 12" vinyl EP called "YOU,ME AND THE ALARM CLOCK" under that name but its now available on CD under his real name. He hassuch a fantastic distinctive air in his vocals that make you take notice I bought their self titled CD with black cover few yrs ago, still think its their best work personally.
Lyrics: Above there are no stars tonight just northern skies Reflected light upon your face Some people think stars rule our lives, Some people they think otherwise They can be replaced. Where did you go on that big black night? Did you take the coast road back through your life? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well They'll do all right for me We shroud our lives in mysteries, Shooting stars and storming seas, if we Have any sense Storm clouds roll, they're free to break And we're free to make The same mistakes again and again Where shall we go On that big, black night? Shall we take the coast road back through our lives? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well They'll do all right without me Above there are no stars tonight, just northern skies Reflected light and fields of snow. Some people think stars rule our lives, Some people they think otherwise What does anybody know? Where shall I go on that big, black night? Shall I take the coast road back through my life? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well They'll do all right for me Where shall I go on that big, black night? Shall I take the coast road back through my life? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well, They'll do all right for me See the stars and constellations Sit beneath their congregation
just seen them live on Friday the 29th at the Tyne theater Newcastle upon Tyne and all i can say is ,FANTASTIC,totally amazing live singing,even better than the cd,if you get the chance watch these guys live,this was my 2nd time watching live and they just get better and better.
What a great band this is. Met the lads at Spaceland in Silverlake Los Angeles years ago, and it was an excellent show - then in Brighton's Komedia last year, where they were, again, excellent. Enjoyed the drum work a lot there, and the whole LP is worthwhile.
John bramwell !!!! Does anyone need more xxxx thanks for the greatest night in Edinburgh !!!!' The pegs don't work John and David, give me my cash back xxx lol best night ever,Na na na ma naaaaaaaa
This song is a trap. It won't let me to hear what the rest of the album is about, I have to listen to this one thirty times over before I'll even begin to explore the song no. 2.
@jumpintheriver2 different chords different beat different timing diferent words in actual fact a completeley different concept. If it reminds you of bobby mgeee that can only be a masif compliment to these guys as both are fantastic songs
