I don't know if that's correct, but I like it. It's like a game of Indian Poker, you hold the card to your forehead, everyone can see what's on it, but you.

Amazing.

Thanks for the links dickie.

It does sound uplifting. Musicians help me out, are those all major chords? It sounds like the Beatles. If it wasn't for the dark lyrics, you'd hardly know it was PJ. Her voice is almost disguised. Someone said it's her White Chalk voice, but I wouldn't quite go that far.

If her voice wasn't so obscured with effects, I'd say this one could get some airplay.

Here's the soundcloud location for it;

I don't know that they are all major chords, but it is in a major key. Kind of makes it sound all the more apocalyptic doesn't it?

Can't someone rip it from the site? I'm sure Polly wouldn't mind it untill this is available for purchase :(

It's different...
I'll have to give it some more listens before I give my final opinion.

I bloody love you lot! I've been in hospital for the past two months and have missed out on everything! I am so happy right now! A big thanks to Dickie and those who transcribed the lyrics!

I really hope there isn't much more sampling on this album despite how much I love the two samples so far. I get The Beatles vibe too.
