10/09/24 My Auntie passed on this legendary band. I am changed forever no joke, listening to it years after its original release i can still feel every emotion and buzz behind this song. I need to share this joy with more people

@Whoscamera

They remind me of the Stone Roses!

@torpol

Best ever!

caught the sun on my way home, my way home

I caught the sun on my way home, my way home
When i got lost in thinkin'
I missed the train on my way home, my way home

I missed the train on my way home, my way home
Cos i was still day dreaming

Oh and i need to know
(Lucy could you really be the one that i've been wishin for?)
are you the one are you the one
(Lucy i can't stop myself from wondering)
yes i need to know,
are you the one i've been waiting for?
(are you the one i've been waiting for?)

I saw you blink and i missed your eyes, your blue eyes
I saw you blink and i missed your eyes, your blue eyes
When we were talkin' on the stairs

What would i see, if i looked in through the window
What would i see, if i look deep through the coloured glass
in through the window

Oh cos i need to know
(Lucy could you really be the one that i've been wishin' for?)
are you the one are you the one
(Lucy i can't stop myself from wondering)
Yes i need to know, are you the one?
i need to know,
(Lucy could you really be the one that i've been wishin for?)
are you the one i've been waiting for?
(are you the one that i've been waiting for?)

And i climbed up the hill, when i go home, when i go home
And i faced out towards you
What are you thinkin' over there?
Over there, what are you thinkin' over there?

Oh cos i need to know
(Lucy could you really be the one that i've been wishin' for?)
are you the one are you the one (harmony: are you the one?)
Yes i need to know, are you the one? (harmony: are you the one?)
(Lucy i can't stop myself from wondering)
yes, i need to know,
(Lucy could you really be the one that i've been wishin for?)
are you the one i've been waiting for?
(are you the one that i've been waiting for?)
So so long
(Are you the one i've been waiting for?)
For so long

@lilgohan

I remember when I first saw this video while just aimlessly going through music on youtube. Now over a year later its the most nostalgic song I know and beachcombers windowsill is the most nostalgic album I own.

2+2 actually equals 4, Stornoway

@swayzemastaflax13

@sidaway77

Dry the River is ridiculously overlooked as well. It's such a shame.

@kutabs

Great sound:)

@Daniizle

Has a Beatles vibe to it, eager to hear more of this

@Fuzzykinz1234

Well done cousins:)! Your songs get better and better, keep them coming!

@Zephyrus2-2

They wanted a name which sounded coastal and remote to reflect the theme of their music.

Why are they called Stornoway? I'm from Lewis and it's proper weird. Good music anyhow.

@Cail6a

@DavidsInferno

proud of our british bands, love this song x

@sammidovey8689

Stornoway is one of the most undervalued bands in the UK. Their day will come.

@juliettemills3198

This song is an earworm for me.

@andohish27

Wow why doesn't my head sound that good when I play drums on it?

@calebreason
