Posted April 13, 201114 yr http://www.informationhurts.com/media/article_images/mid/7441.jpg 'Illuminated' has been confirmed as the fifth single from Happiness, along with a re-release of 'Better Than Love'. 'Illuminated' is easily my favourite song on the album, so I hope it can get at least top 40. :wub:
April 13, 201114 yr I don't understand why they're releasing another single off Happiness instead of moving on to the 2nd album.
April 13, 201114 yr I love how your username goes with that post :lol: Hurts are pretty big in Europe headlining several festivals this summer. Let them milk the album while they can.
April 13, 201114 yr Glad they're finally releasing Illuminated :wub: Reissuing BTL is pointless though. They are only on single 2 (Stay) in Europe, I guess this will be third.
April 14, 201114 yr After hearing so much about the album in here, I borrowed it from the local library. Can't say I'm really struck by it though. It's got several things I like, decent songs (though they get weaker as the album goes on), drums to the fore (at least on the early tracks), decent-ish production etc. but I didn't really like it, I couldn't quite figure out why. Then it struck me - the singer. No range of emotion or even vocal range, it isn't until about track 4 when he leaves his monotone. I won't be buying.
April 14, 201114 yr Finally! Should have been single number two really. Hopefully it can break the chain of top 60 hits and get them back in the top 40. No chance of R1 support though :( Love the artwork as well!
April 14, 201114 yr Illuminated should have been released in place of Stay, the fact it already charted without ever being touted as a single should have told them there wa sufficient demand for it. I think the time has sadly passed for it now though and it'll end up like the rest, a one week top 50 out of top 100 next week style thing again.
April 25, 201114 yr Author Has there been any information about a video? I hope this can go at most top 40, but like others have said, it will probably do the same as 'Stay' and 'Sunday'. :(
April 25, 201114 yr Official video: 6CvuyaKmLnw It was fairly inevitable they would just use a live performance for this, it's weird that they didn't overdub the studio version though. Anyway, this better be their 5th top 75 hit.
April 25, 201114 yr It's easy to see why they didn't bother making another video, the cost is clearly not worth it and this isn't going to make them much money at all.
April 26, 201114 yr They could have bothered with a new live version of it at least. This live video is from the time of the album release...
April 26, 201114 yr It already is! :lol: Point taken :lol: OK, give them another week top 75. Top 40 is probably too much to ask :(

Anyway, this better be their 5th top 75 hit. Oh, I would have hoped they would have used a new live performance for the official video, this has been on YouTube since last August. :(
