My Music Monday

This is a short-ish intro. I think I've posted the Fontaines DC a few times in the past - one in the fairly recent past. 

They have some decent songs, but only a few to which I come back. 

As many bands do these days, 6-8 months are releasing their album, they suddenly have a "deluxe" version available, usually with a handful of new songs to go with the original release. Often there is one good song in the new ones, if you're lucky.  And if you opt twice to basically purchase the same disk. 

I suppose this is why people use streaming services - to not pay for a new disk (assuming they even bothered paying for the first one). 

Anyhoo......they have a deluxe version of their last disk, and on it it has their one good song, "It's Amazing to Be Young". 

It might be one of the best songs the Psychedelic Furs didn't write or record. Meaning: it sounds an awful like them. Which, to me, is a good thing. 

I'm putting the audio on here, as with all the Fontaines videos, they build in a film with dialogue which completely interrupts the song to noticeable distraction.
