This sounds like one of the songs that I will hear in my dreams for 10 years yet I will not remember any of the lyrics so I will never find it.

[@noahmcgaffey797]

Minks Rule I try to keep those in a playlist

[@minksrule2196]

Noah McGaffey I'll try but I think I might lose the list as every list I have ever made has gone missing in one way or another.

[@michaelhake3410]

I really feel like they're transcending standard pop bands with their latest songs - it's all just so beautifully crafted and I love the amount of layers, both musically and lyrically.

You don't know who you are The road's gonna take you, make you walk too far You're a liar, you're a thief, you're a star But you don't know who you are You are just a kid with a sentimental heart Afraid of what would happen before you ever start And you don't need the baggage and you don't need the stuff And you don't need nobody to fill your empty cup Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta da da da Ta, ta, ta da da da (Be who you are) Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta da da da (Baby you're a star) Ta, ta, ta da da da Never give up, Coltrane Never be a slave to your own name You're a poet, you're a fake, you're a star But you don't know who you are We could shine a light here inside the dark And get a…

Lately I've been feeling Like the stars are rolling out for me Stars are rolling out Lately I've been feeling But the stars are rolling out for me Stars are rolling out But maybe they're misleading Is it just a light reflecting off the street? And you are just a kid with a sentimental heart And do it for yourself and do it for the art You don't need the baggage, you don't need the stuff You don't need nobody to fill your empty cup Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta da da da (Be who you are) Ta, ta, ta da da da (Be, be who you are) Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta da da da (Be who you are) Ta, ta, ta da da da (Baby you're a star) Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta da da da (Be who you are) Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta da da da (Be who you are) Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta da da da (Baby you're a star) Ta, ta, ta da da da

Esa voz mantiene sus matices

[@tylerclinebell8926]

this song was so clearly influenced by Oasis and Noel Gallagher. In a good way

[@CarxV_one]

Time doesn’t have any effect on this guys. I am younger than them for about 6 years and I look older.

[@alliswinday8885]

Sam & Frodo

[@tomcorona4425]

Hugh is a brilliant guitarist

[@stephloveyou5]

hasn't aged

[@cmichelle9986]

The refrain reminds me of a Kinks song ... it’s on the tip of my tongue!

[@NoLifeGamingNLG]

The problem with the kooks last album is they over produced there songs,yet every song acoustic is brilliant.
