Default Name that tune

Hey CP

Quick obscure question. I'm trying to figure out the name and who sings this one song. It's similar to the Plain White Ts and it's about some guy that travels everywhere and names different cities. What's key is that it mentions Calgary by name.

I hope this description is helpful

Thanks CP


P.S. Feel free to suggest other songs for background/dinner wedding music

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my toungue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

I have a request for the name of a song as well. Its kind of a poppy-techo sounding song with a woman singing "Radio, Raaaadio". Heard it while driving to work a couple of times, but haven't caught the name or band.

What station? The zone (here in Victoria) has a playlist of what they play and when, so maybe you could go to the stations website and pinpoint your search?

It was on my way to work while I was listening to x92.9 here in Calgary. I tweeted them asking, about it, but got no response.

It's probably too late now, but x929 has a song list on their website with the time each song was played.

That's not really what the song is about. Travailing I mean.
