Nova Scotia

The band Magic Man was introduced to me by one of my really good friends a few months ago, and when I first heard their song 'Paris,' I absolutely fell in love with it, and bought it straight away. But yesterday I finally bought the entire album 'You Are Here' which is home to the song 'Nova Scotia' which has incredible lyrics. They are so poetic, which create vivid imagery, for example:

Opened your, opened your, opened your eyes
and the ocean slipped through the floor
when you woke up along the shore
forget everything...

And the music itself sweeps you away into a sort of daydream in the first bars, then builds up with a beat that is perfect on a blue-skies-and-sunshine day. Nova Scotia is a place in Canada and other than that, I have no idea about the place, so I'm sorry for my limited information about that, however, Magic Man are from Boston and are a synth-pop band who are relatively new, their debut album 'Real Life Colour' released in 2010, followed by 'You Are Here' being released last year. I personally still think 'Paris' is my favourite song on the album, with the incredible opening with the piano that then is joined by the full instrumental/ synths- it just sounds amazing and I highly encourage anyone to listen to it, but for today, here is Nova Scotia, another fabulous song:
