This had some of the most haunting lyrics I have heard in some time. I'm not sure exactly what it is - perhaps the way in which a very gentle melody is undercut by some very dark images.
Brand New have never been particularly cheery, but this song is captivatingly mellow.
Ahh, the Dropkick Murphys. I quite like the occasional bit of Scar music. Listen to "SUPERMAN" by Goldfinger. Very good song. haha and makes you think of Tony Hawk 1.
