Tomorrow is my birthday

Tomorrow is my birthday, so as a present to you I offer one of my favorite songs (by Danish band, Mew). There is something that I really love about songs that start slow/quiet then build themselves up... actually, I should post some examples of this in a couple of days. Anyhow, this particular song adds layer upon layer upon layer and I feel like I can run marathons when I hear it (and for once I will recommend watching the video).

Can you trust me on this one? Turn up the volume! GIVE IT NINE MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
