    In the splitsecond my hand hit the stearingwheel, adjusting cource to Denmark, a Mayday Relay message came in on the WHF. Most insane night in boat in my life... It passed storm. Turned innto Baufort 12. Did not find thath boat, or man. He got lost at sea...

    But this song got stukc on repeat in my boat..!
    PERFEKT song for a night in huricane wind in a 8,5 meter boat, trying to do SAR.

      They were one of the best up and coming indy bands, they had a massive following and were well respected having crafted a masterpiece in this very song.
      That however went to shit the second they became that band from the Bisto adverts.

    This song is in my top 5 favourites of all time and is at slot number 2. Toploaders other under rated song 'Only for a while' is at number 1. I've been on this Planet now for 43 Years and although I'm virtually dead on the inside emotionally this song still brings tears to my eyes. If anyone is interested in my 3rd and 4th on my list those honours go to Keanes 'Bad Dream' (3rd) and 'Bedshaped' (4th)
    Don't do these songs an injustice by playing them quietly as they need to be played LOUDLY!

    I used to love this song and played it all the time. Now in 2019, I recently remembered it and started playing it again for personal consumption. It's almost chilling how every lyric resonates with me. Like I perfectly understand now what he was going on about because it happened to me as well. Thanks for this Toploader.....excellent music and lyrics.
