so, i’ve been on a huge we were promised jetpacks kick lately, which really isn’t surprising considering they’re 1) scottish (and therefore, by default, awesome), 2) a band that i found to be even better live (granted, it’s been two years since i’ve seen them, but STILL), and 3) general, all-around musical goodness. and while i’ve had these four walls on heavy rotation, keeping warm is the one that i’ve found myself listening to the most. i think the best way to describe it is e p i c.
as i relisten to it as i write this, i can’t help but wonder: why aren’t more people listening to this band?
so, today, for your watching/listening pleasure, you get not one, but TWO vids of this song. one is just the song set to a picture, the other is a live, fan-recorded version. try not to be swept away during the intro. in this opinion, it’s one of the best intros in music you’re ever going to hear.
chances of being born, so slim
so keep warm
so keep warm
and take some heart
in being born
at quite so young
you can learnt to talk
and learn to walk
in your own time
you’re so…
take heart in being born
making plans that you can’t keep
that you’ve outgrown
you’ve taken this too far
now take me home
there’s nothing to eat
and there’s nowhere to sleep
in these four walls
you’re so young
chances of being born, so slim
so keep warm
so keep warm
and take some heart
in being born
at quite so young
you can learnt to talk
and learn to walk
in your own time
you’re so young
