It's all about the Greeks, as usual

I really like Tom's new album From The Lowlands. It's a shame I can't see him on tour this year.

One of my favourite tracks is titled "Fuck you, Prometheus". You can listen to it HERE. 

It was recorded in Tom's farm with the always delightful Brian Wright playing with Tom and also doing the backing vocals. You can hear noises around from the real life, like singing birds...and even "a fucking chainsaw down there"!

I like the gap between the cheery and rythmic tune, and the lyrics, especially towards the end as Tom seems to accept his fate:


"So I’ll walk out in the light of dawn and I’ll
Never speak of all the things I’ve done.
I will not look back or ever feel ashamed.

With head held high I will start again
You can be the fire and I’ll be the rain,
Oh, Prometheus, you and I were never really friends.

So, Prometheus, goodbye,
The gods will never know my name.
So, Prometheus, goodbye,
I’ll never set the world to flame,
I’ll never set the world to flame,
I’ll never set the world to flame."
