Music and love have magnetic properties
Wrote a scholar from the island that they kept from me
And I don't need to solve my unknown identity
Just need an answer to the question in the taxi
My sister paints apathy like blasphemy
But I never thought names deserve such energy
It's my choice to choose who I embrace as family
It's my choice to choose yeah my choice to choose yeah
Know who I am that's important to me
Do what I can to see the wood from the trees
Know who I am that's important to me
Let the branches wrap their arms around me
I could just wander always like a leaf on the southeast breeze
I do not need no rooting, I carry home with me
To be on Nomad floating on the waves of the channel sea
I can see England waving, white horses carry me

My sister paints apathy like blasphemy
I've seen god's green earth with the people closest to me
It's my choice to choose who I embrace as family
I choose you yeah I choose you yeah

Kind of like Sonic Youth meets the B52's.

First listen, good song. By the 3rd listen, I absolutely love this song. I dig the duet, interesting pentameter of the verses (yea, probably using that word wrong), and great chorus singing. Solid 9.
bumbing up 7->8
yes sir I like it. And the song is pretty good too

AH...the Commodore! I saw Johnny Winter there eons ago. Memories!
I've been listening to Wolf Alice for six years now and just had the pleasure of seeing them live at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. Solid band with a variety of flavours in their catalogue.

Bill's statement is confirmed: Started at a 7, now up to a 9 and not getting tired of it anytime soon!
Bill: "This song gets better every time you listen to it. So pay more attention to it, next time."
Me, feeling caught by surprise and standing to attention: "YES SIR!!"

I love this song more and more every time I hear it. Definitely gives some B52 vibes 
No thoughts of sounding like Garbage? I get the B-52 vocal reference but stylistically sounds more like Shirley than Cindy imo. Still good tune either way.

They have obviously been listening to the B52s. But that's a good thing!
Keep the Wolf Alice coming! Great selection of songs to choose from.

Incredible new sound; the kind where it feels oddly familiar yet enticingly new -- usually means it's a HIT!
