Another fantastic song from Hurts who eventually managed to place at #4 in the longlist for BBC Sound of 2010. Their interview with the BBC can be found here if you are interested. This song fits in perfectly with the style that we have become accustomed to through their previous releases. There is a fantastic fusion of stringed instruments, powerful percussion and Theo’s distinctive vocals.

I have to apologise for the length of the song, but Huw Stephens insisted on talking all over the start and end of the track. Dickhead.
