Ahh, this is certainly living up to the band title. It is gentle and wistful. What a lively sound.

Written mostly as a writing exercise to involve some chords I avoid playing!  I ended up with two lyrical hooks 'caught out on love' and 'I don't even feel love any more' - I wasn't going to stick with them until someone at an open mic said the whole song made a lot of sense to them personally - so I decided not to change a thing.  Because I'm a prog rock fan I decided to end with a prog style code.
