Heard them live when I went to see Scouting For Girls (Who they were the support for) brought this album without them even coming on stage (buy an album from every gig) after they played this I was so happy I did buy the album, would like to see them again, it'll have been a year in April that I heard them, but still listening to them a year later, so shows how good they are.
I enjoy dreaming up imaginary music videos for songs. So, for your amusement, criticism, ridicule, whatever. Here is a verbal storyboard to go with the song. 0:00: Intro shows a young man being left to spend his first night working as the night security guard in a modern history museum depicting everyday life in the 19th and 20th century laid out in decades. 0:11 He wanders around the empty museum alone, the Victorian-set, the 1920s era, WWII, a sixties Kitch exhibit 0:30 He arrives in the huge 1950s street, complete with full sized tram in the distance. 0:40 He sees movement in the tram that attracts his attention. A figure perhaps in the tram? 0:45 as he starts towards the tram he trips and falls. when he gets up and dusts himself off... 0:52 He's met by a stunningly beautiful young woman in 1950s style getting off the tram. She heads towards the 1950s house, pausing to look at him. The way she looks at him is almost shy as she half-smiles towards him before going into the house. He runs towards the door. 1:00 He goes into the house and searches the 1950 exhibit rooms that lie behind the artificial house front, desperate to find the girl but to no avail. she's not there. 1:14 He sees a picture on a dresser. It looks like her. He's infatuated by her image. 1:24 Shows him eagerly starting work each night for several nights, setting himself up in the 1950s street, hoping to see her. 1:34 He sets up one night in 1950s living room exhibit where the photo is. He pics the photo up to stare at it again. 1:42: She emerges in the doorway of the room. She can see him. She stands in the doorway and smiles shyly at him. she puts out a hand towards him, offering to take him on a journey with her through the museum. as she walks with him into the each section of the museum, her style changes to suit the era, suggesting she's the museum ghost and not particularly of any given time. 2:05 Cuts to daytime in a modern-day high street where he races into a vintage clothes shop where he tries on various clothes to try and get a good 1950s look. 2:20 Back in the museum he hurried gets changed out of his uniform into the 50s clothes to meet his ghost. 2:30 He excited runs into the 50s street dressed for the era but initially looks around him, anxious that she's not there. 2:41 She emerges from the tram and slowly, seductively walks towards him, her regular 1950s style changing to a much more glamourous 50s movie star look. The everyday beauty has no changed to stunningly glamourous. He is transfixed as she continues to walk towards him. 3:00 She gently touches his face with her hand. They embrace. 3:15 They kiss a single prolonged kiss 3:30 She breaks the kiss off gently and smiles again before starting to walk towards the exit of the 1950s exhibit towards the foyer. He stops for a second and then starts to slowly follow her, not believing his luck. 3:35 she enters the foyer, immediately changing into 21st-century casual clothes and style but a second later, when he reaches the edge of the exhibit he bangs into an invisible wall, blocking his path. She keeps walking towards the exit. 3:40 She doesn't look back as she walks towards the exit as he begins banging on the invisible wall blocking his path and calling towards her for help. 3:45: she opens the door, revealing that it's morning. She smiles back and walks out the door into the real world. 3:52 Outside she looks up at the sunshine, puts on a pair of sunglasses and hails a cab. moments later the caretaker enters the open door. The guard is banging frantically on the invisible wall but the caretaker can neither see nor hear him.
How on earth this band never made it big is beyond me. These songs are absolute treasures and this is one is either the crown or the sceptre. So good!
