Hey! Just watched the last episode of The Cup. Love the soundtrack and did some googling to find out if I can buy it anywhere. Just came across this site and the answer to my question. Pleasently surprised to find out it's a Jackdaw4 song, Willy, ex. Honeycrack and WIldhearts has always written good songs. This one is no disappointment either - truly excellent!
