Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
And another one where some movie stole my title before I even thought of it.... (oh wait) Presented for the Clicker's Club movie challenge April 2019, this has nothing to do with the Hunger Games movie of the same name. It was written for our kids generation as an anthem of hope. But I reckon it would sound good in a movie too. It's from the album "The Smivets Lost the Plot" available on Spotify, Deezer, etc.
Lyrics
It's time to take your fledgling dreams And teach them how to fly Step out into the bitter winter air And pray that they survive What if the plan's not good enough? What if everything goes wrong? What if it all just comes to pieces When something unpredicted comes along? Well I think you've failed already If you're so afriad to fail. If they knock you down you have to Stand back up and try again And reach beyond what you can reach Race across the sky Catching fire Catching fire now Even if it was for just one day Won't we have had the best day of our lives Catching fire? Catching fire now. If it was all so simple Why am I still here Hedging bets on dead regrets Washed down by cold and bitter tears? And I blame the broken system And I blame the crap that's on TV But the one I hate and blame the most Is in the mirror staring back at me So why heed the words of a hipocrite Isn't it written plain to see? Don't let life drift by like I did Or you'll end up just like me So reach beyond what you can reach Race across the sky Catching fire Catching fire now Even if it was for just one day Won't we have had the best day of our lives Catching fire? Catching fire now.

That organ intro had me fooled. This is a great rocker. You always get such a totally fab rock guitar sound. Yep, I'm still jealous of that...a very British guitar sound... super amazing soloing. great song writing... a hit in anyone's book.

Had me from the intro. Killer pro sound framing top shelf lyrics, tone rich, emotional guitar work, you have such a gift for creating memorable, lasting tunes, loved it.

Energy and feeling and a great non-preachy non-cringy message. Two thumbs way up. (Oh, and stellar axe work with fantastic bridges scattered throughout)

The Smivets Rock. Great production and Lizzy style harmony lead guitars giving the riff and energy. Top drums and all that stuff. Music to my ears.
