Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies.

Some are a melody and some are the beat.

NOTES:
1.  Youth Group is a rock band based in Newtown, Sydney, Australia. Built around
the pure vocals of singer Toby Martin and clean production of Wayne Connolly, the
sound of Youth Group is reminiscent of indie rock artists such as Teenage Fanclub,
Pavement and Death Cab For Cutie.  The band formed in Sydney in the late 1990s and
has released four albums, three of which have gained worldwide release. They achieved
major success in 2006 when their cover of Alphaville's "Forever Young," which had been
recorded for the soundtrack of the US TV drama The O.C., was released as a single
and reached No.1 in Australia, attaining platinum status.
