#idlewildshits

Idlewild, Scottish band at their best alt/indie rock, in their latter years a little middle of the road. One of the bands that late night viewings on MTV2 in the day helped me find. Also remember the one and only time I utilised Shazam properly on a night out in Oxford. Saw them live in Gloucester, a memorable night.

“I don’t look the same in the photograph
I need to look the way I did in the photograph
By mentioning places it will all become clear
If we speak the same language, you’re a deeper darker reason…
You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
Why can’t you be more cynical? “

“If your heart gets in the way
Of what you wanted to deny
Everything I say is not uncommon
The only thing that’s definitely forgotten
Is what you wanted and what you really needed
But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it become”
