Fiction, when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision, something of my own creation
I wake up alone, with only daylight between us
Last night the world was beneath us, tonight comes, dear love
Were we torn apart by the break of day?
You're more than I can believe, whatever come my way

Fiction, when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision, something of my own creation
Come real love, why do I refuse you?
Cause if my fear's right, I risk to lose you
And if I just might wake up alone
Bring on the night

Fiction, when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision, something of my own creation
Any certainties, how am I to tell?
I know your face all too well, still I wake up alone

Fiction, when we're not together

Highly overrated band. Period.

 
I totally agree when it comes to their latest album, their first one was just the best thing I had heard in years. They should just have left it at this. The second album is a big disappointment. Their perfectly "atmospheric" sound from the first album now just feels like being kept hostage in an aquarium: depressive, sagging and dull with a lot of oppressed sound effects.
Does this singer have malaria? Ebola? And could someone hold the lyrics in front of him so he can figure out what he's supposed to actually say? 
Overrated, yes.  But I must admit, this is intriguing me.  I like the guitars in this one.
Highly overrated band. Period.
what's the chances of finding this....

Good band name,
yak sacs
ca. 1968: 
Kind of cool band, but they have better tunes, like "Infinity".

I'll buck the trend and go for a 6.
Not bad and it did catch my attention.

Who cares?  You shouldn't let the fact that other people talk about it cloud your judgement of a good song.  Good music is good music.  Just my two cents anyway!  {#Angel}
 HYPED!!
Nice to see RP playing The XX. 
None of the songs from the new album stand out to me like "VCR" or "Crystalised" did on their debut, but it's still a good album overall.

Very, very pleased to see RP caving to the XX. I love their minimalism and effortless, conversational guy/girl singing arrangements.
I'll open with a 5. 
The XX is back!!!... nice tune{#Clap}
