So Emotional
Black Swan Song is probably my joint-favourite track (along with The Getaway) from the new album, but the reworking by Jonny Pilcher together with the video takes it to new heights.
I only found out what the song is about (Joel's Grandpa and his experiences in the Battle of Arnhem in World War 2) a couple of weeks ago and I was looking forward to seeing the video very much. When I did see it, early today, and in light of it being Remembrance Sunday in the UK, it made me choke up.
The reworking of the song gives it an almost ethereal, elegiac sound with Joel's voice soaring over the sparse instrumentals - piano and violins mainly. It's just beautiful to listen to. Buy this, please, not only for the donation the guys are making to the Royal British Legion, but also to hear just how emotional this song really is.

Beautiful stuff. A real gem, clearly comes from the heart, its ozzing soul.
