You see how bass guitar and the bass pedal are playing the same rhythm? You'll hear it now, wait. I told all of yous, you especially, shitting on the bed all the time. You can't put rabbits on the bed and not expect them to shit on your bed. A chord like... Yeah.

I'm more of a singer. I write songs, words, lyrics. But I haven't put them to music yet. What kind of music are yous gonna be doing? Well, I-I don't know yet. What d'you mean you don't know? You have to know what you're gonna be playing. What are you into? I'm a futurist. What does that mean? Like, uh, no nostalgia. Not like your da's band. Not looking backwards, just forwards. Oh, cool. Like Depeche Mode? - Okay. - Or Joy Division? Right. Or Duran Duran? What do you think of them?

Jury is out on which way those guys'll go. They're a lot of fun, and James Taylor is one of the most proficient bass players in the UK at the moment, giving them a funky edge.

In fact, you should all be wearing makeup. Yeah, I'm not wearing any makeup. Relax, you're not even in the band. Yeah, thank God. I'm in the band, and I will not be wearing any makeup. Thank you. Why? You've got great lips. No, piss off. I'm not wearing makeup. Whatever. Those of you who actually care about the band and want to do this half properly, queue over there. Okay, so we're playing over here, and Raphina's standing over there against the wall. I go up to you and start singing to you. Make sure to pan up to her eyes when I sing the line, "She's got dangerous eyes." I think a zoom would be better. Okay, a zoom, whatever. Do you think I should have, lightning flashes on my eyelids when I close 'em? Can you do that? I can do anything. Cool. So then for the chorus, you walk off and I follow, circling you like when he's following her in the "Thriller" video. - Have you seen the "Thriller" video? - Yeah. Cool. So then I follow you up the laneway, keeping behind you, and then we'll swing around and get the angle in front. - Let's shoot it. - Right, let's shoot. It's just some kids filming something. What are yous filming, lads?

Oh, I like this. - What is it? - My band. - You're in a band? Cool. - Yeah. What are they called? Sing Street. Who's this now? Your girlfriend? Yeah. No. She's a friend of mine. - She's a model. - Hmm. But she's got a boyfriend. An older guy. Ah. All the complicated boys and girls.

What did she mean by that? Well, I think what she means is that you need to reach a place in your life where you're okay with your sadness. It's pretty high concept stuff. How old d'you say she was again? Sixteen. It's monastic. She's like a monk. She sounds really pretentious. Why, 'cause she wants to leave school and follow her vocation? You call wanting to be a model a vocation? Anything can be a vocation, Ann. Being a taxi driver, being a bin man, being a poet, being a singer, being an artist. Brendan, I never wanted to be an artist. We couldn't get the brush out of your hand when you were a kid. What is wrong with being an architect? It's not a vocation. I thought everything was a vocation. Don't be playing word games with me, Ann. I don't do "words," all right? Come on, Conor. Turn out the lights before you go to bed, Ann.

So her dad's dead and her mam is a lunatic. And you thought you had problems. I see now what the older boyfriend thing is about. Daddy issues. I used to know chicks like this. They're tricky, and they need a lot of protecting. Are you up to that, Conor? I don't know. So what's it all about? I think she's just an amazing human being. I've never seen anyone like her. The way she talks and looks. She wears these sunglasses, and when she takes them off, her eyes are like the clouds clearing past the moon.

Shit, I've got to go soon. We only have a half hour dinner window in our house. So, what's the house like, where you live? It's nice. Nicer than some of the dumps I've lived in. So where are your parents? My dad's brown bread. He got hit by a car. Oh, my God. Sorry. Really don't be. He was a drunk. He deserved it. And me ma's in and out of hospital. Why? She's a nurse. Oh, right. No, she's manic-depressive.
