Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Above The Clouds Lyrics
Turin Brakes
One, two, three, four
Up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
Some will try a trick, but you just look them in the eyes
What will they do, when the money runs dry?
Where will they go, when the jet planes can't fly?
When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you
Starring out at the stars, you feel helpless and so small
Nothing but closed down bars, no one helps you when you fall
One day this world will be returning to this prime
We'll all be gone, there'll be no more roads to find
When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you
The rain came again,
Cleaning the dream and it always makes me cry, oh my
Something about the rain, it sends memories through my veins
Memories always stain, you can't wash them down the drain
Where will I go when my broken body dies?
And what will I know when I look up to the skies?
When all is said and done will you love me? (x2)
The rain came again, cleaning the dream
And it always makes me cry, oh my
Up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
