Ordinary Angel (Flying as high as I can...)

Pat e Greg Kane, foram estes os dois irmãos escoceses que deram origem a um dos melhores grupos pop de sempre.

"The fame and the fortune wasn't the driving force for us. We intellectualized and worried about music a bit more than most of the bands did" - Greg Kane

Aquilo de que aqui se fala é um pouco de todos nós, "(...) ordinary angels, Winning tiny victories, And though the ordinary angels fly, Their wings weigh heavily".

Também isso me faz , passados todos estes anos, continuar a gostar deles.



Hue and Cry - Ordinary Angel

I got the card, delivers the goods
Fills me with happiness
It's joy for a while 'till the first of the month
Then I'm chasing my tail again
I want a life that's bigger than me
'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
Tell you what I don't need
No heaven sent deity

'Cause I'm an ordinary angel
Winning tiny victories
And though the ordinary angels fly
Their wings weigh heavily
I try to be a daily genius
There's no idea beyond my reach
With all the angels and the geniuses
My company I'm gonna keep

I'm watching the news and I feel my face
Hanging like plasticene
Now I see the plot, I've got the plan
Every move is transparent to me
Profit and power's turning the world
And I'm leaning against the spin
Give me a vision please
And I don't mean heavenly

I'm an ordinary angel
Winning tiny victories
And though the ordinary angels fly
Their wings weigh heavily
I try to be a daily genius
There's no idea beyond my reach
With all the angels and the geniuses
My company I'm gonna keep

I want a life that's bigger than me
'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
Give me a vision please
And I don't mean heavenly

I am an ordinary angel

I am an ordinary angel child
Walking with the daily geniuses
I am an ordinary angel

Flying as high as I can...

The Last Of The Melting Snow

E-mail amigo cuidou de mos apresentar.

Fazem acompanhar-se de instrumentos nem sempre habituais (flauta, bandolim, violino, glockenspiel, violoncelo, outros).

Criam uma sonoridade e um universo de canções alternativos que trazem frescura ao pop-folk.

Ouvi-os e gostei.

Chamam-se "The Leisure Society" e fazem canções assim.
