I love you through sparks and shining dragons, I do.
And now there’s poetry, in an empty Coke can.
Those lyrics open up the Guillemots’ Made Up Love Song #43, and is one of the most arresting lyrical introductions to a song I’ve heard.
I’m not normally a lyrics man – the music behind a song is normally what grabs me most – however, Fyfe Dangerfield’s impassioned statement, starting at 0:17, really grabs me. And the very start of the intro, featuring alarm clocks and melody that de-tunes to its chimes ain’t half bad either.
Watch this video on YouTube or buy Through the Windowpane, the album it features 0n from Amazon and check it out for yourself. It really is a cracking moment from an amazing song.
I’m looking forward to hearing Fyfe’s solo which is released soon too.

Absolutely love this song! Little Bear is very good as well
