I think this song is an amazing nod to Ride, the guitars are so Ride-ish, the whole atmosphere... Tt really makes me think of a huge endless sky, and being in a desert looking at a ghost town or something like that. Anyway, it's amazing, I love this band, I hope there's a real shoegazing revival coming up...

And I think it's about being so happy in the arms of someone you love but know it's bad for you, about just wanting to enjoy the moment, to forget about the harm that may come from that relationship, and realizaing that happiness can easily turn inyo you geting lost and trapped... I'm not sure, but right now it sounds like that.

Yeah I totally get the Ride reference...the atmosphere this band generate is extraordinary. Can't wait to see them in Melbourne in a couple of days time

And I could not agree anymore about being so happy in the arms of someone you love but can't have...yet, so much wanting to enjoy that moment and feeling lost, trapped and totally torn. This band make me feel this way & yet make me feel all will be ok.
