Now that I think about it, Sirens would have made a strong contestant in the Eurovision song contest.

I'm getting a similar feeling from Sirens.
Extreme, "More Than Words."
That's the one.
I think it's the vocal harmonies in the pre chorus that are giving me this association

There's definitely a big "beach at night" feel to this. It's vast and expansive and atmospheric. Very melancholy.

Oh, that was you huh? But there's a potted palm tree and an expensive fish restaurant behind me. The landscape is more synthetic resort than desolate.

It's still working for me, but I haven't closed or refreshed the browser I opened it in. Might not be able to get to it now if you didn't way earlier.

I wonder if at this point it wouldn't be better to never listen to any of the remaining songs so I can keep a decent opinion of this band.
