Think a slightly rougher around the edges Mystery Jets, or a less cynical Dexys fixated Rumble Strips and you're in the right ball park, musically at any rate. It's the soaring harmonies though that hold one's attention the most, belying their teenage years to a rousing effect.
- Drowned In Sound
Their mix of "indie/nu-jazz/children" (that's how they describe themselves on their MySpace profile anyway), is a revelation. One of Nottingham's most accomplished bands I'd say.'

Young
Dog Is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're Late for the evening show we still go
And When Helen said we're all but family
now,that's dear to me
When you get out of the woods
Leave your clothes behind the wall
That time when your father stood and
Hold your breath and count to ten, we're
Losing touch, we're losing friends
But we're young
Yeah, we're young, you know we're still
When we get lost, and we'll
Meet by a corner stone and head home
and When,those flowers by the road side, and you
Know what that means,they'll be the death of me
When you get out of the woods
Leave your clothes behind the wall
That time when your father stood and
Raised at my front door
Hold your breath and count to ten, we're
Losing touch, we're losing friends
But we're young Yeah, we're young,
you know we're still
Hold your breath and count to ten, we're
Losing touch, we're losing friends
Hold your breath and count to ten, we're
Losing touch, we're losing friends
But we're young
Yeah, we're young, you know we're still
The song "Young" by Dog is Dead is a nostalgic reflection on youth and the experiences that come with it. The lyrics speak of getting lost and finding your way home with friends, while also acknowledging the loss of touch and friendships as one grows older. The first verse speaks of being late for an evening show but still making the effort to go and how the relationships with friends can become like family. The chorus emphasizes the fact that even though they may be losing touch and losing friends, they are still young and have time to make new memories.
The second verse references leaving clothes behind the wall when you get out of the woods, which could symbolize shedding the past and moving forward. The line about the father standing at the front door could represent the transition from childhood to adulthood and the challenges that come with it. The chorus is repeated twice more, with a sense of urgency as they hold their breath and count to ten.
Overall, the song captures the essence of youth and the key moments that define that time in our lives. The lyrics are poetic and heartfelt, painting a vivid picture of memories that we all can relate to.
