Covid Island Discs

Day 368: Holding on for Life, Broken Bells

I discovered this band when filling in Covid Island Discs the missing years. The first song of theirs I cited back on day 322 was The Ghost Inside. The lyrics of this song fitted a science fiction theme about a young woman who travels to a distant planet to find her dream vacation. Sadly however, when she gets there, she finds the planet is not what she thought it would be. This second song of theirs also follows a similar science fiction narrative again involving people and spaceships. Another very interesting video visually to accompany a song which is also is quite interesting lyrically.
