Fun Facts:
* Another Star in the Sky is dedicated to George’s father, who passed away around the time of its creation.
* He never heard it.
* In the evening of the day when Mr Davies senior died, the sky was cloudy and only one star could be seen.
* Another Star in the Sky was almost named Another Scar in the Sty due to an outburst of mispronunciation.
* This would have been appropriate in some ways, because George (bass) and Dave (drums) were playing in a kick-ass folk band called Pyg at the same time.
* Pyg’s live performances could be a bit hit-or-miss, due to some of the dynamics within the band.
= Some of Pyg’s songs can be heard in the Archives section of the Wud Records website.
* Another Star in the Sky is based around the acoustic guitar part.
* It is in 6/8 time at a sedate 75 BPM.
* The key is G# minor, and it ends on a B major.
* Lucy’s cello copies the acoustic’s melody.
* George’s son Dan helped with the recording of the Stratocaster solos.
* Dan took up playing guitar that day and has now become a fabulous and accomplised player.
* No real horn players could be found at the time, so those parts were played using MIDI.
* The horn parts are actually quite amusing and rather scrappy.
* One of the guitar parts was made by setting the old Marshall to the most horrible sound possible, with maximum overdrive, presence and treble, and no mid or bass.
* The idea for this came from a track by Tindersticks, called Vertrauen II, from their second album.
* Dave was wincing as if to say “This just isn’t gonna work!”
* The part was dropped back in the mix and treated to a little reverb and it was “just right”.
* The idea for the simple yet distinct piano came from a piece George used to play on piano as a boy of about nine.
* It was from Forest Fantasies by Walter Carroll.

Low Tide

Inspired by the results of using vocal clips on Air, Icons continued in the same vein. A house/trance mashup with gratuitos use of sine falls and a synthesised ‘bye’, it concludes with a melancholic, repetitive synth that reminds us of Soft Cell and laments the recent [at the time] loss of two icons; Bowie and Prince.

Stealin' Time

This track is inspired by 70s funk and disco, merged with modern electronica. I am not quite sure what tags would do it the most justice. Suggestions are welcome!

City Of Empires

Sometimes things just won't work out.  You can't fix broken.  Hearts get hurt. People change, Some for the better and others just get worse....  
But someone has to declare the madness over...  Even then, you are faced with everyone's formulated opinions.  All which is based without them ever actually knowing a thing about what really happened.  But you can tell what they are thinking just by the way, they look at you.

Lyrics.....
Ya Know there ain’t no reason to fault me
When you don’t even know me.
And there ain’t no reason to talk about me
we’ve never exchanged a word.
See there ain’t no use in me complainin’
you never hear me.
(I’m) … Just a lonely soul,
seeking redemption.
	
[**] Chorus
(Still) I’m wondering what she’s doin’ tonight,
is she still pacing in circles across the floor?
Is she talkin’ in tongues, 
acting like the whole world owes her something more?

[*] Refrain
(That’s where) I drew the line.
Where I drew the line.

Maybe somewhere out there, someone can see me
Maybe somebody out there feels me.
Maybe somebody, can show me that love’s worth fightin’ for.
I wouldn’t know it,
when she walked out that door.
[**]
[*]

Everything she does/did has a motive.
Every word was followed with distain.
Every dance was followed up with sorrow
While my heart filled with pain

[*] And I drew a line
There’s a part of me that believes,
she still thinks she’s entitled.
no mattered right or wrong,
But the only dances that could dance to
yea, was her very own song.
[*]
[**] So I’m..
[*] So I drew a line

See there ain’t no reason to fault me
…. when you don’t know me.

Lyrics:
Come a little bit closer baby,
I got somethin’ that I want to say.
Don’t want you to miss a word of it,
I been practicing all day.
I can see the road ahead,
I can read the writing on the wall.
I ain’t testin’ waters girl… 
I’m here for the long haul.

[Refrain]
And it’s all about you.
The way you make me feel (oh) so brand new.

Come a little bit closer babe,
I got somethin’ that I want to say.
Don’t want to scare you by it.
Don’t want the time to slip away.
I can’t wait much longer,
might lose my nerve and run.
I might stumble on my words,
Fall apart and I’d be done.

[Chorus]
Don’t want to mince my words.
Don’t want to leave any doubts.
(I) Don’t need anybody putting words in my mouth.
You know, this ain’t no Hallmark moment.
This ain’t no sad, sad song.
Gonna open up my heart,
 and let the words run out, let ya hear my sound.

[Refrain]

Come a little bit closer babe,
I got somethin’ that I got to say.
Don’t take these words for granted.
Don’t want ya to look away.
Can’t you hear what my heart is sayin’?
Can’t you tell these words are strong?
Can’t you see this is right where you belong?

[Chorus] [Refrain]

Come a little  closer babe,
I got somethin’ that I’m gonna say.
Listen closely and let come what may.

[Chorus]
[Refrain] The way you make me feel so brand new.  So brand new.

Lyrics...

The winds of change often blow in quickly.
Grab your handle and hold on tight.
There’s a certain way to handle good feelings.
There’s a million ways,
to wrong what you thought was right.

I often gaze at you in amazement.
The way you cast yourself, in such delight.
The way you see things as they really are,
the way you calm a storm, and let in light.

I remember sayin’

[Refrain]
Don’t be a fool ..
A fool that gives way.
Don’t be a fool to settle for less than you want.
When you whisper those three words,
I already know what they mean.
It’s a perfect world when you do things right.

[Chorus]
Time after time, 
the choices we make,
sometimes they, beat you down in life.
The only one thing (that) know for sure.
You’re the best thing I’ve ever known.
It’s a perfect world with you in my life.

[Musical Interlude]

Season can change, without concessions.
Ain’t no reason, to confess what’s already know.
There’s a bond between best friend and lovers,
That makes that perfect world,  their own…
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
So,…

It’s a perfect world, with you in my life
Such a perfect world, with you in my life.
It’s a perfect world, when you do things right.

It's A Perfect World
