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.

Long Distance Lyrics
Turin Brakes
Well if this gets ugly,
Id swear,
This aint our last chance,
The vultures that circle,
My head,
Are flying alongside,
The worlds turning.
I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that Ive seen,
Now theres a river,
Now theres a river.
Nothing can save me,
My reserve betrayed me,
It calmed the hurricanes,
Im burning to get there,
The middle of nowhere,
Storm warnings flicker while,
The worlds turning,
I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that Ive seen,
Now theres a river,
Now theres a river.
I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that Ive seen,
Now theres a river,
Now theres a river
