Sounds Like: Cold hard reality is a funny thing. The career you choose, the people you hang out with and the things you need to have. Buy a house, settle down and join the status quo.
Before then though, there were other thoughts that mattered much more.
Like in the middle of a packed club when you're the only one that really 'gets it'. Guitars shimmering, bouncing from wall to wall and that bassline that knocks you sideways.
Of course everybody else there was 'getting it' too - long before reality bit hard.
And that's where The Naked Lights fit it.
