Sean Reid<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\nThe Way I Tell Them<\/b>
\nWe thought it was important to kick the album off like our live shows and felt this song to be the most suitable one for the job, the song title is all Frank Carson, never found him very funny but that catchphrase always cracked me up and the phrase kinda worked as the start to the chorus and so it stuck, so the whole song was written around an Irish comedians catchphrase. Very fun song to play live.<\/p>\n
Wicked Ways <\/b>
\nProbably my favourite song on the album, it\u2019s also the one that uses Matt and Berts vocals the most which is something we definitely want to incorporate in the future. If you listen to the lyrics it\u2019s pretty self-explanatory, everyone\u2019s had a relationship that\u2019s ended rubbish. <\/p>\n
The Fall<\/b>
\nHopefully you\u2019ve already seen the video to this song, if not then check it out! You get the vibe of the song from the video, all about taking falls and how you get back after them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We Have Capture<\/b>
\nThis one is my favourite to play live just because the first verse is such a low register for me to sing I can have a bit of a rest! The working title for this song was originally \u2018Bruce Forsyth Banjo Medley\u2019<\/i> and it stuck for so long that our drummer Drew still doesn\u2019t know what song is We Have Capture despite playing it a bunch of times and will only refer to it as \u2018Bruce\u2019<\/i>. Bit of a weird subject matter, it\u2019s kinda lashing out at the end of a bad relationship and just completely introverting and getting everything out of your system even if it is a bad idea.<\/p>\n
Bleed<\/b>
\nOk, so, basically we kicked out one of the original members of our old band for a whole litany of reasons that probably best if I don\u2019t go into and he ended up suing us for over \u00a32000, got lawyers involved, sent us threatening letters despite us being completely in the right. Long story short, day of court arrives and his own lawyer asked if we\u2019d settle before we go in, we felt we only owed him \u00a320 (long story) and she took it because he didn\u2019t have a leg to stand on. I wouldn\u2019t like to put words in the boys mouths but I\u2019m pretty sure I speak for us all when I say this song is about our feelings towards him. <\/p>\n
The Light Outlives The Star<\/b>
\nI\u2019m not sure even the other lads know have worked out what this one is about, it\u2019s actually about the end of our old band (Never Means Maybe) and even though it started being written before we stopped I could kinda feel that there might not be much life left in it but that if it all stopped right then we could be very proud of everything we\u2019d accomplished. <\/p>\n
Come Out And Play<\/b>
\nA very playful song, with a bit of a nod to our Essex roots I think with lines such as “Straight back to yours? I\u2019m only havin\u2019 a laugh”<\/i>, so much music is so very, very serious, I thought I\u2019d try something different with the lyrics to this one and have it even be a bit silly trying to capture the fun and spontaneity of when you first meet someone that you\u2019re rather fond of.<\/p>\n
Visions<\/b>
\nBit of a vague song lyrically, I\u2019ll leave it to you to find any meanings in it. This is one of the few songs that always had an actual title and not a ridiculous working title.<\/p>\n
Sinners<\/b>
\nSpeaking of silly working titles, the working title for this one was \u2018Handstands With Herman Munster\u2019<\/i>. This is one of two songs we haven\u2019t actually played live yet, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how we pull it off! The song is pretty much about feeling you\u2019re going absolutely insane and just calling out everything you despise. Bit of a contrast to ‘Come Out And Play!’<\/p>\n
The Hardest Part<\/b>
\nHad gone through a rough break up just as this song needed to be written so it\u2019s all about breaking up and being miserable, but was recorded just a couple of days after everything had happened so I think you can hear the emotion in my voice on it. Don\u2019t you all worry though, completely over it and we got an awesome song out of it so I think we\u2019ve won. Another one we\u2019ve not played live yet but one that I think will come across really well if we do!<\/p>\n
‘Villains’<\/i> by Villains<\/b> is released on 24th February.<\/p>\n
