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.

Turin Brakes
There's a road with two yellow lines
That go on for years.
And the people there smile and wave

Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my...

Let's him see here all of the people they never knew.
Float into space,
Falling through red puddles and places they never seen
Will my soul be angry?
When you die do you feel alright?
In the garden, yeah where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my..
There's a road with two yellow lines
That goes on for years.
And the people, oh they smile and wave
It's not like back home.
In their doorways where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my...
