I originally discovered yellowbirdd at university through Tumblr. I received a follow from the band page, checked it out, and absolutely loved it. I messaged Liam as I had a split singles project at the time about contributing a track and we released 'Short Fuse/Sweet Joy' in 2014 and it still remains to be one of my favourite releases.
In 2016, after years of chatting online. We finally got to meet and hang out and it was an absolute joy. Liam has such an awesome back catalogue of music and would absolutely love to see him again.
My good buddy Ellis Thomas contributed vocals. To his credit, he had never heard the song before but told me that he immediately fell in love with it.
lyrics
it's a waiting game
i've learned to play
i try to win
cause it hurts to lose
and it's a sad request
it's a feeling in your chest
that you've got something
you might never use
yeah i won't find love
until i find you
it's all these pretty little girls
with their manhattan pearls
they wear the night
on their black leather jackets
it's a train that i missed
it's a shoulder i kissed
and everything else
that just pulls away
i won't find love
until i find you
it's the rush hour blur
all the voices you heard
and how the street goes silent
when i meet your eyes
like the view from the bridge
that lonesome elevation
it's keeping my spirits high

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
