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.

Life isn't always easy
This we know my friends
I thought you knew where to go
But you were following me
So lets get lost in space
I feel this place
I'm stuck in the rat race
It's a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in the loop.....
Over and over again, you could never make it stop (x4)
My old bones stroll along
Railway track is oh so long
Stem the tide, the nine to five
Slowly eating me alive
But all night long, carry on
We're stumbling slowly to a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in the loop.....
Over and over again, you could never make it stop (x4)
