don't tell me you're afraid of the past, it's only the future that didn't last
The most underrated Scottish band ever.
Turning 23 and this is the only song I can think of with the word "birthday" in it.

Everyone is nostalgic about britpop these days, but 20 years ago I wasn't aware yet of music - it was only in 97 that I discovered many of my favourite bands. The britpop wave I really lived is this one which included Idlewild and Travis (and, uh, Coldplay?), and nostalgia is hurting bad.
I heard this for the first time in years at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall last Sunday when Roddy Woomble & Rod Jones played it at a #CelticConnections gig celebrating the music from 70s Laurel Canyon. They covered Neil Young and then played this tune which they had originally recorded in Los Angeles.
