      Me recuerda a la banda CAMP con su canción "From Extremly Far Away" ambas canciones tienen cambios bruscos de ritmo muy cool.
      "From Extremly Far Away" la descubrí gracias al videjuego de FIFA 08 y esta canción de Englis Teacher la descubrí a EA FC24 (FIFA 24)

    There was a time when every Jools series included at least one, sometimes several performances which I would replay over and over, louder and louder - even back when that meant rewinding the VHS tape! This is the first one for a long time; fabulous.

    Just listened to the album after watching this. Oh my! They are extremely talented songwriters with a lot of genius harmonic twists and turns with great lyrics. “You blister my paint” is such a brilliant metaphor…damn! It’s all extremely musical and actually something quite new. Not that it matters but I’m a 72 year old composer and it’s extremely inspiring to hear something that rises above the generic. Great stuff!!!!
