Look in my eyes, it's perfectly clear
I'll love you and cover you, ask me to tell you what I wanna do

I didn't even know about this band until this year when I discovered Empty Skies via Spotify. I went through some of their catalog afterwards because that track is amazing and was absolutely shocked when I instantly recognized some of their songs such as this one. Turns out, a couple of their songs were featured on the FIFA 2003 video game that I played the shit out of when I was a kid. Loved listening to their songs on the game, but never looked up the soundtrack when I grew up a bit. Turns out I was a fan all along for the past 20 years.
