Have a look at the video for our new single 'Back to You': https://youtu.be/GMR2pDfvF4I

The harmony during the lines


'I was open, now I'm hidden
From the danger of his words
I have found a good position
And I'll play for what he's worth, and he will find
Nowhere left to hide'


is so eerie, it's amazing!

Thought it was Mumford & sons

I WILL DIG A HOLE AND THROW YOU IN IT🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

this is even better live

Please come back to sligo!!! I missed it!!!! Please!!!!

I was climbing, now I'm falling
I've been pushed off by a man
Who has made it to the top
And now defends it 'cause he can
And I have found a breach in his front line


I was open, now I'm hidden
From the danger of his words
I have found a good position
And I'll play for what he's worth, and he will find
Nowhere left to hide


I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run
If we're all just cynics come undone


I was losing, now we're drawing
I'm not afraid to draw my blood
I'm not backing down
So I'd surrender 'cause you should
And face the truth
You raise the flag, I'll tear it down
Though you may have won the battle


But I'll take the fight to you
And your flag is on the ground
And your bones they rattle too
'Cause I'll break you
Your fear has now come true


I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run


If we're all just cynics come undone
All just waiting for the gun
We are tied to the truth
The tie that binds me to you
I'm acting on my words
With all that I have heard
With honesty in mind
You will find
That I'm not the liar
See the truth in my eyes
No, I'm not the liar
See the truth in my eyes


I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run


I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run
If we're all just cynics come undone

You are incredibly ❤️ Beautiful song!

i've spent SO LONG trying to find this song again after finding it! YOU HAVE NO IDEA! (I couldn't remember the name of it the first time I've heard it haha)

Does this remind anyone else of The Raven Cycle?

i have been looking for this song for SO LONG!

Love it !

I was climbing, now I'm falling
I've been pushed off by a man
Who has made it to the top
And now defends it 'cause he can
And I have found a breach in his front line
I was open, now I'm hidden
From the danger of his words
I have found a good position
And I'll play for what he's worth, and he will find
Nowhere left to hide
I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run
If we're all just cynics come undone
I was losing, now we're drawing
I'm not afraid to draw my blood
I'm not backing down
So I'd surrender 'cause you should
And face the truth
You raise the flag, I'll tear it down
Though you may have won the battle
But I'll take the fight to you
And your flag is on the ground
And your bones they rattle too
'Cause I'll break you
Your fear has now come true
I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run
If we're all just cynics come undone
All just waiting for the gun
We are tied to the truth
The tie that binds me to you
I'm acting on my words
With all that I have heard
With honesty in mind
You will find
That I'm not the liar
See the truth in my eyes
No, I'm not the liar
See the truth in my eyes
I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run
I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it
Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run
If we're all just cynics come undone

if this video doesnt make u wanna put on a costume and run around the woods then ur inner child is dead

Saw them live last month! Here I am now endlessly playing their videos

Love your music guys! all my support for you

This song live is absolutely amazing!!! Y’all don’t understand !!

I absolutely love the fighting spirit behind the chorus. I will lift her love and I’ll BREAK your spirit, I will dig a hole and I’ll THROW YOU IN IT

I think this song would be great for the next series of Peaky Blinders!

This song is grossly underrated. Deserves millions more views.

Love this. Just Love it

Love this song

i forgot how much i lOVED THIS SONG OML

I seen you play this on electric picnic and it was so good I just had to look it up.

How do you not have millions of subscribers????

Thank you for your lovely concert at the "torvet" in Tønder last Sunday and for the unplugged performance at the Tønder Festival today - even if it was short. Just love your music and especially your harmonies and positiveness. Thanks a lot and have a good one tomorrow at Tønder Festival. Wish we could be there!!!! Cheers.

Such an incredible song. I'm listening to it on the bus and trying not to get too into it! Whats your guys' inspiration for such awesome songs?

Please please please What is strumming pattern for this song? pls pls pls:)

big fan boys irish love keep it going god bless

The VIDEO is shit. I'm sorry, but it's shit. I would have done something with a MUCH more serious tone for this song than (quite literally) a bunch of little girls play-fighting. I mean, when I was listening to this I was imagining two close friends fighting on top a mountain, punching and throwing each-other until one emerged victorious at the last second. SOMETHING CLIMATIC.

The MUSIC is outstanding, I like the softness accompanied by the quick changes in it's pace to create a negative/positive feel. GREAT job with the song itself and hey that's what were all here for right?

I think you missed it but being in this video myself the theme is the Lord of the flies. It has a much deeper meaning than just a bunch of girls play fighting.

Which is????

i need strumming pattern please please please please:)

Just stumbled upon this. Glad I did, it's fantastic! I wish you two the best of luck

can I have a free ticket when ye are going to be in creation dungarvan

Really awesome song 😊 loved the video as well, great work! 😊

IT'S LORD OF THE FLIES

My thoughts exactly

I heard this on my Pandora station. LOVE this song!

Thanks to Murder By Death radio station on Pandora.

I absolutely love the spirit of this song, the video is rather charming too! I found this on Spotify, I really love that I get to discover so many talents on there I may have never heard of <3

Suscrito !!!

I have no idea, how but this song made me cry. I've never cried from listening to a song before. That's how beautiful this is. The video just brings back the little moments from when I was a child. I absolutely adore it. Thanks for this. =)

Can anyone else hear Mumford and sons in this song?

it's the genre. indie folk

Yes! The very begging sounds like little lion man

Reminds me of Mumford and Sons' 'Little lion man'

😍😍😍

💜💜💜💜💜

OMG best Song ever!!! Just Loved u guys on Vevo discovery!

Such a moving piece of music, it grabs you, angers you, and you fight to the finish, the underdog have won, we've all come undone. inspirational, great vocals, percussion, and drums... what a blend, 5 stars

I've been listening to you guys for years and I am so happy to see you guys being so successful. your music helped me through dark times and I can't thank you guys enough. I absolutely love your music but I do miss your funny little youtube videos

Why oh why did you have to have a skiing accident, Harry? I was sooo looking forward to seeing you open for Gabrielle! More importantly though, get well soon!

this music video reminds me of Featherstone by the paper kites

Is the video influenced by Lord of the flies by Sir William Golding? It's very similar. Great song.

Dick Rivers !

I really love this song :) <3

Is it just me or does this song totally sound like "Little Lion Man" from Mumford and Sons? I mean it's not bad, don't get me wrong, but I prefer Mumford and Sons^^

The guitar intro/melody reminds me of The Cave by Mumford and Sons

FYI you reached some one all the way in Southe Frica with this amazing song beautiful!!

Simply great song!!!!!

Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books and to see a music video capture the concept in such a way, is truly eye opening. It gave me chills. This is truly amazing, I am speechless and I wish I could say more about it, because combining music with such a story as this is such a unique talent and I'm so glad someone was able to capture it like this. Brilliant.

So dahm weird i've loved this song for months and I just heard it on a sky movies advert congrats guys !, anyone else see the advert ?

@Omar Little I know right 😂😂
