Amazing performance. I had to look them up after checking this out, thanks.

Moving this video to berticus's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I had this song in my YT faves, him playing it in a record store just before they released tha album. A-mazing!

Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
And I could not stay for I believed them
Left for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on breathing
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
Left for the lights always in season

Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on breathing
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
Left for the lights always in season
