The Waterboys - Trumpets

There are few bands I'm more excited about than The Waterboys. Mike Scott's songs have gone far and wide and taken many strange turns, and as a songwriter he constantly confounds and surprises. The Waterboys' records are (almost) always causes for celebration. "Trumpets" off the band's 1985 breakthrough album This Is The Sea is both celebratory in itself and joyful in sound, and the lyrics - a true ode to eternal love - are absolutely beautiful. "Your love feels like trumpets sound..." Now, that's the real deal! "Trumpets" is one of many Waterboys classics, always a joy to hear.
