Following my ongoing love for The XX, this is another great song off their award winning album. Amongst the hardcore XX fans; this song has a very, very special place in their hearts.

There have been lots of fans, arty folk and general budding filmy peeps making videos/short films to this song. It has a strong message and vivid meaning regarding relationships, and the ebb and flow of being in one. Need to give props to yevainethesky for this video.

It's a very moody and stern piece of blissful tune'age. Sometimes we all say things in the heat of the moment, perhaps it's when the lights are off and our heads hit the pillow, or even when we irrationally send texts/emails in fits of rage - this song puts all of that onto a few bars and makes it a real experience in musical form.

The key line in this song that everyone seems to sing/hum/mumble to themselves (including myself!) is 'Maybe I had said. Something that was wrong. Can I make it better with the lights turned on'.

For lovers... and fighters everywhere ;)
