aliss_blackout_hrt_bandits I don't have a favorite song yet, but TFC is great! For once my partner and I can agree on an album to listen to. She's currently on the web, reading up in the band(?) and schooling me on how great they are. I hope we can catch a show sometime. we're in the area so you nvr know.

Brian Wegener Heard about The Family Crest from their tour with The Dear Hunter. The versatility of their (The Family Crest) music is astounding. The music is huge, but so well recorded that you can hear every wonderful voice, violin, saxophone, and multitude of other instruments that flesh out their arrangements. I absolutely love them and this album and am so happy that I found them. Can't wait for their next album. Favorite track: Mirror Love.

Sparks 03:58
Shuddering, you were made, my love To shake up my heart Sputtering, you were made, my love To light up the dark I’ll give a little bit of my love to you Is it what you want? Give a little bit of my love to you Is it what you want? Oh, as we move along our way We leave pieces as we go Just moments for the dark We’re shaking off the sparks Oh as we move along our way We leave pieces as we go Just moments for the dark We’re shaking off the sparks Honestly, we were made, my love To flee Honestly, we were made, my love To float on the breeze I’ll give a little bit of my love to you Is it what you want? Give a little bit of my love to you Is it what you want? Oh, as we move along our way, we leave pieces as we go Just moments for the dark, we’re shaking off the sparks Oh, as we move along our way, we leave pieces as we go Just moments for the dark, we’re shaking off the sparks Oh, love, and as we move through time We’ll leave a piece behind What happens where we stand Will happen here again Our hearts, they carry on, they grow As our hearts shake off sparks, they grow! As our hearts shake off sparks, we go!

Mirror Love 04:01
It’s amazing, in this mirror love We’re holding on by the moment It’s amazing, in this mirror love Who we wanna be Who we’re gonna be Flash, spark All of the times you broke my heart Start With each time we’re laughing Well we fall apart when there’s no one around And we’re moving off to a dying sound We’re all just passengers waiting here to go down Screaming, “Give me what I need! Just give me what I need!” It’s amazing, in this mirror love We’re holding on by the moment It’s amazing, in this mirror love Who we wanna be Who we’re gonna be Stay back it isn’t safe, Keep your heart intact, Keep your eyes away Cause we’re a mighty howl We’re a body at bay Screaming, Give us what we need! Oh, just give us what we need! But you fall apart when there’s no one around And you’re moving off to a dying sound You’re just a passenger waiting here to go down Screaming, Give me what I need! Oh, just give me what I need! “Stay back,” the people say It’s the same old fire, but the violence is growing It’s amazing, in this mirror love We’re holding on by the moment It’s amazing, in this mirror love We’re holding on by the moment Well, we fall apart when there’s no one around And we were moving off to a dying sound We’re all just passengers waiting here to go down Screaming, Give me what I need! Oh, just give me what I need! It’s amazing, in this mirror love We’re holding on by the moment It’s amazing, in this mirror love We’re holding on by the moment Oh, there will come a time when there’s no one around ‘Cause we were moving off to a dying sound We’re all just passengers waiting here to go down Screaming, Give me what I need! Oh, just give me what I need!
