Admittedly this is not much to go on. But, i was in Reikavik last week and
heard an amazing song on the video channel Sirkus, but I can't find out who
it is (they do not list the names/titles of songs or artists). The video has
english subtitles (even though it's sung in english) and the video basically
shows the band playing after waking up from a hangover (the subtitles
mention midgets and other stuff). The song itself is piano driven and
upbeat, and I think there was a line that read something like "the golden
rule becomes your friend" -- but i can't find it on the net, so it's not
exactly right. It ends in a barrage of chorus where they sing "la la la la
la". Oh, one of the band members was wearing a t-shirt that said "Hive", but
it's not the band called Hive nor the other popular band The Hives. That's
all i remember -- i know it's a bit cryptic but I'm sure someone on this
list knows whom this is. Thanks for your help.
PS. Thanks to Lawrence for that very nice note on Grant. I bought Before
Hollywood about a year ago because I kept hearing about how good the band
was. After a few listens, i was hooked -- their songs (particularly Grant's
lyrics) really resonated with me. I highly recommend them if you have not
heard them. So sad...
