Write off Danny McNamara and his band at your peril however. The aforementioned compilation, Fireworks, showcased McNamara’s way with a song and it was obvious that it wouldn’t be long before Embrace became a vital name to drop again. So it proves – Out Of Nothing is a wonderfully affecting album that is the band’s best to date.

Glorious Day is, as the title suggests, glorious – a gentle, low key ballad that sends a shiver down the spine. Looking As You Are works similar wonders, with McNamara’s often unjustly derided vocals sounding the best they’ve ever been.

The single charted at number seven & catapulted the band onto UK TV & the airwaves, McNamara attests “… we love it. It saved our career!” Coinciding with the single’s anniversary this Sunday, August 30, the original promo video for “Gravity”, recorded at Abbey Road Studios has also been remastered in 1080p HD. Embrace have been at it for awhile and, like Bacardi and cola, you can always count on them to get the job done. But never have they turned in an effort as pretty or economical as Out of Nothing. Like a concert hall built atop a subway line, the album quakes with a faint but omnipresent tremor of sadness, tempering Embrace's heavenward stomp with a melancholic gegenschein.

[33] McNamara said he had heard Coldplay perform the song sometime prior and liked it, but thought nothing else of it until Martin offered it. [17] musicOMH writer John Murphy said Embrace took the "melancholic piano sound of Mr Martin’s lot and push[ed] it through the Embrace emotional mincer", coming across in the style of " Imagine" (1970) by John Lennon and material from Coldplay's debut album Parachutes (2000). [29] [34] This song has to be one of the very best of 2004. It has a very personal meaning to me as my current situation relates to it very well.
