Another Great Scottish Band

Bildergebnis für broken records band

It is probably true that in Scotland is a music scene that keep the talent of writing great songs up like no where else. Following JC's long lasting series about Scottish songs I think it might be true. Another example is a band from Edinburgh called Broken Record. I never heard anything from them before but their latest album What We Might Know is this kind of ace that made me listen to several times during the last days. Nothing really new of course but that what they made is deeply based in classic rock or pop (whatever you want name them for). Their songs are mostly straightforward and very well arranged. The bass is sometimes borrowed by Peter Hook and the whole record is worth to listen from the start until the end. For me it is a band that would probably be better live than on an album. But until then I enjoy this little great record. Today we will go for a home-game against Hamburg that was on the bottom of the table. Everyone I know will expect a clearly win against them. But in my opinion they will have the last chance to stay in the Bundesliga and so they have to play for success. We will see what happens.

If the news make you sad , don't watch it


Broken Records are a six-piece indie folk band from Edinburgh, Scotland, which formed in December 2006. Their first release was a single 'If the news make you sad, don't watch' it. Originally formed as a three-piece folk band they added after a few gigs three more members to complete their sound with bass, drums, cello and trumpet. It's a real great tune, worth listen more times than on shuffle. Nice lyrics also.

Go watch the TV
Tell me what you see
All these bleedin' wounds
And rising seas
They dont mean much to me
From the couch here
I plead apathy

And politicians
They dont speak for me
A wreck's a wreck
At least that's what i see
And your faith you keep
Is it dark now? It's waiting for me.
So stop the bad dreams,
Stop the headaches
And leave a little light
When you say It's alright
Like when you say its alright
Well i guess it is

And she says,
"I know your doubts
But know this world brought you to me
So just be satisfied
So just be satisfied
Until the morning comes
Just lie here in my arms"

Go watch the TV
Tell me what you see
Any hope and love, any realized dreams?
Thats what i want to see
No more pain no tears, no more grief

So stop the bad dreams, stop the headaches,
And leave a little light
Like when you say it's alright
Like when you say it's alright

So sing to me I love it when
You sing to me I love it when
You sing to me I love it when
You sing to me I love it when
You sing
