Why I like this song:
Its propulsive that's for sure. And that beat is incredible.

Behold: An Australian band having a crack at the Brtipop formula
Another forgotten classic - funny how so many winning songs tend to slip through the cracks....

Song title: Gorecki
Artist: Lamb
Year: 1997
Why I like this song:
I'm somewhat surprised that this song didn't trigger a baby boom on par with Marvin Gaye and Barry White.
Or maybe it did? I don't know XD
But somehow, this strikes me as a nineties update on the 'make-out' music of the seventies. And boy does it do it's job so well.

This song always fascinated me. It's a great depiction of disappointment, backed with a rockin' intro and outro. Props to Sarah McLeod who delivers one of the best vocal performances of her career

Handy song to have around when you're facing troubled times. And it is reassuring to know that if Tom beat them then anyone can
