With an intro frighteningly similar to something Keane would dream up, Ed Harcourt’s latest offering from album ‘The Beautiful Lie’ quickly sheds any such associations. He has penned a beautiful, piano-led anthem celebrating just about ever corner of society and inciting them to be passionate about the world around them. This is a true anthem, nothing like those Coldplay / Razorlight dirges that are labelled as such. At its climax this song incorporates some thunderous drums, and you can easily imagine huge crowds singing along to the “sha-na-na-na” ‘s and clapping in time. This song encapsulates Polyphonic Spree style audience participation and is uplifting and refreshing.
