The sky at night is dark, but stars they don't stop glowing....

This is "Show me the light" by The mystery Jets, an indie rock band which formed in Eel Pie Island, London, England in 2005. They have a very britpop, psychedelic and progressive rock feel to their music.
Show Me the Light is by far the boldest track on the album. Some pundits would say mixing an early-90s house bassline with iridescent Friendly Fires synth, chiming U2 riffs and hectic flamenco guitars is foolish. They are wrong. This is a stunning song, its catchy, memorable and stays in keeping with the rest of their works without sounding repetitive. Genuis!

Here are the lyrics...



So here we are in the dark
Don't the day feel like a world apart?
I start to come undone
When I'm living on the other side of the sun


But sometimes I feel
That it's all too much to take
I look in the mirror
But don't recognize my face


So show me the light
And tell me that things will turn out right
It cuts like a knife
When you say things won't turn out right

Temptation my old friend
You've come back to lead me off again
If you see me acting strange
You can call but you know I'm out of range


But sometimes I feel
That it's all too much too take
But all that just changes
When I look look upon your face


So show me the light
And tell me that things will turn out right

Remember the night
And how we would hold each other tight


We live for today
But we've no way of knowing
What tomorrow holds
Or where we are going


The weather man, he says
That soon it will be snowing
The sky at night is dark
But the stars they don't stop glowing


So show me the light
And tell me that things will turn out right
It cuts like a knife
When you say things won't turn out right


So show me the light
And tell me that things will turn out right
Remember the night
And how we would hold each other tight
So show me the light


The weather man, he says
That soon it will be snowing
