Best song the Guillemots ever did; pretty good for a largely annoying hipster band, as it captured the mood of the UK after 7/7 and the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. At the time I was working at a small startup where I could listen to 6usic all day and this came up loads of times in late 2005/early 2006. That was also around the time Sandra and I bought our house and before her health problems had gotten the worst of her. In retrospect one of the happier times of our lives and this fits that so well: uplifting melody, bitter sweet lyrics, a simple recipe deftly executed.
