The Dears is an indie rock band which formed in 1995 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band currently consists of Murray Lightburn (vocals, guitar, bass), Natalia Yanchak (keyboards, vocals) and Jeff Luciani (drums). Lightburn and Yanchak, who have been married since 2005, are the only consistent members of the band. The Dears' most recent album, "Times Infinity Volume Two", was released in 2017.
Without even seeing a performance by The Dears it was easy to recognize the group in Montreal's haunts in the late nineties.

Great song, by a great band, I recommend. Doing it as a duet with my girlfriend, noticed the version up here could use a little touching up. Thought I could do everyone that little favour.
for those of you unfamiliar with the lineup of the dears, Murray is the lead vocalist, Natalie is his wife and keyboardist, the male and female there should be pretty obvious. I indicated where which is singing. if there's parentheses, it's usually Murray.
