Civil Twilight

Revelation- you can always find the good in the bad. I sometimes have bad taste in the television I watch, but it leads me sometimes to good music. And in return, good music can make bad television better.

Case in point, a Civil Twilight song on the show Harper's Island. To set it up, the show is a 13 episode horror series. A group convenes on an island for a wedding, and a serial killer that had lived there almost a decade ago appears to be alive again and picking off the wedding party. It's gory, it's cheesy, and sometimes, you even get emotionally attached. With the right music the viewer (aka me) gets choked up.

Civil Twilight, as I've read, is from Cape Town and moved to the US recently to embark on their music career. They're currently performing a couple shows on the East Coast, so check out here if you end up wanting to see them live. I find them to be reminiscent of a young U2, but they write that Radiohead is there influence. The song in question is that ballad that every group writes and becomes well known for.

Check it out for yourself. Here is the song:

And here is the scene from the last episode (be warned it is bloody):

It's all about the music, right? The perfect song. Ahh the power of sound.
