I'm just dipping back into the old records from the glorious 2000-2002 years and figured I would drop this piece on ya. Now this band isn't for everyone. This is the ultimate sad bastard birt pop - they make Coldplay seem cheery and uplifting. They never made it because the lead singer looks like a fruit and they never really had a song that could cross over from sad bastard into semi-sad bastard. But, don't let that make you think that I don't adore Starsailor. This is exactly the kind of band you just want to listen to sometimes. Trust me - it's good. It just needs to find it's arena.
Tie Up My Hands: My Favorite song by far. It's catchy with huge changes - which by now we all know I love - anytime I can take my fist and drop it like a hammer on a new chorus - I'm pretty much in love with the song. You'll like this - ignore the video though...
Poor Misguided Fool: This was their almost cross over hit. Almost as in - never.
Four to the Floor: This was the single off of their second album (the last album of theirs that I actually own). It is definitely the most poppy stuff they've done. It's catchy, and it's pretty fuckin tastey. It's also been mixed and put into heavy rotation in the british club scene. If you watch the movie Layer Cake with the New Bond Guy you'll hear this song as the undertoned anthem of the whole movie
Alcoholic: Here is the uplifting tune Alcoholic. It's pretty good but unless you really love them - I'd skip it. Good change at the 1 minute mark and then the song picks up.
Way to Fall: Another tear jerker - again wait for the change before you give up on it.
