Bad Arguments lyrics

Artist/Band: 
The Music
Album description: 
2004 saw sequel albums from The Strokes [Room on Fire] and The Thrills [Let’s Bottle Bohemia] and well, honestly, they didn’t live up to the hype they were born into. The Music, although somewhat over looked, released the much anticipated follow-up, ‘Welcome to the North’. Unlike the produce from The Strokes and The Thrills, where the musical progression is at a bare minimum, the development that has been put into this can be seen clean and clear in comparison to the stunning self titled debut. Welcome to the North observes The Music’s gigantic leap forward in the musical greatness they have finally bound themselves to from the international recognition they received over the past year. The sounds the band muster; the raw, power rock generated from tracks such as ‘Welcome to the North’, ‘Freedom Fighters’ and ‘Cessation’, makes anyone, regardless of how well they know these guys’ work, appreciate the strength these boys wield. Even though Welcome to the North still possess that heavy riff driven dance rock as previously heard in debut, The Music, it differs in the sense that it is more mature, tamer and is evident in the lyrics that Harvey and the band members have so exquisitely collated to string together a masterpiece such as this. The album begins strong and powerful however, beings to evolve into a slow heart-warming ballads. It doesn’t live up to the rep it earned in the debut, as this album is absent of tracks along the similar lines to ‘The People’ and ‘Truth is no Words.’ Nonetheless, this album contains the best cadenced drumbeats and bass lines, awarding it the most solid tempo section around of the year, in my eyes! Band members can be uniquely acknowledged for their collective contribution throughout the record to make this ‘The Music’ of 2004. Escalating riffs, thumping bass, pounding beat and extraordinarily distinctive vocals to accompany. (Phenomenal strings in tracks, ‘One Way In, No Way Out’ and 'Freedom Fighters') Drummer shines throughout the album and exceptionally so in tracks ‘Bleed from Within.’ En contra to The Music where the heavy riff driven dance rock played a prominent role, this on comparison is a tamer, matured and mellow album. However, don’t let this dishearten you. The guys have still kept to their guns, sticking to music genre from the past 30 years (70’s rock, 80’s metal and 90’s dance). On some occasions, tracks may some what possess and be labelled as Pop (E.g. ‘Into the Night’ and ‘I Need Love’) with their extremely catchy lyrics. Therefore, it’s a multi genre piece of music, cutting across a vast variety of musical fields at all possible angles. As a result, it is much more reachable than the prior. To conclude, this album should not cower in the shadow of The Music. Nope. Welcome To The North is a milestone for The Music. Could this be a teaser for something bigger to follow? By looking at the contrasts between the first and second album, I hope the forthcoming will show even more of a leap forward as The Music lay their way in playing … The Music!

1. Welcome to the North lyrics

My time is empty
And I want, I want to break free
Their minds, your minds are always closed
But your mouths, your mouths are always open
You see, you can see, you see the numbers
You see, you can see, you see the numbers
You see, you can see, you see the numbers
You see, you can see, you see the numbers

Where I'm from
Is not who, who I am
But now I'm facing some questions

2. Freedom Fighters lyrics

I don't know
Why these people can't get it on
And what you didn't know
That its just people having fun, yeah
I thought that there was something going wrong with me
I thought that everyone in this life should be free
But now I'm feeling lost and something here is wrong
Would you come and let me sing to people
Come and help me sing this song

Dance for the freedom
Fighters of the world

3. Bleed From Within lyrics

Shooting star across the desert sky
The sun is bleeding into my eye
I can't help but notice the way you talk
When darkness falls there will be war
I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding from within
I'm bleeding, You're bleeding from within
I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding from within
I'm bleeding

Just happened to be
The most precious night
That I have ever lived
And they're still fighting

5. Cessation lyrics

I never want to be
I never want to be like you
I wanna be myself
But you make me out to be somebody else
And I live in pain
And I love the darkness of my mind
Cos it makes me feel
You know it makes me feel like I'm alive
I'm alive
Oh I'm alive
Far across the land
Yeah far across the land
They understand, they understand the lies
But nobody here want to question why

6. Fight the Feeling lyrics

I've been waiting
Searching, lonely
Take me walking
Underneath the stars
Love is here
No end
They'll hold us here forever
Just you wait and see
The sky is just a diamond
Reflecting the sea
Darkness edging closer to me
Talk to no-one
Tell them nothing
Fight the feeling
Don't you bear your soul
Love is here
No end
They'll hold us here forever
Just you wait and see

7. Guide lyrics

I was coming down
From what I don't know
The life inside of me
In time will set us free
But will ya w ait wait wait for me
Will ya wait wait wait for me
Until the night is coming down
Will ya wait wait wait for me
And well
I love this mess
It makes me feel
Throughout my life
You are my guide
Today what a day
To go out sit and pray
Well will ya wait wait wait for me

8. Into the Night lyrics

Tonight we'll start a fire
You know we'll let it burn
Somehow we'll over come it
I'll never know
I can't stop thinking about it
It's eating away inside
Believe me when I tell you
It's mine
You now know
I decided long ago
I was gonna be with you
But into the night we both will go
And find our own way

A thousand lights above us
We're gonna let them shine
What comes first tomorrow

9. I Need Love lyrics

So to the world
I'll raise a glass and
Turn my back on life
I wish that you were here with me
Instead of by his side
I can't believe it's been this way forever
But when you need it
It makes it harder
I need love
I need love
I need love
Help me now

I need love
I need love
I need love
Help me now

I need love
I need love
I need love
Help me now

I need love
I need love

10. One Way In, No Way Out lyrics

We all know the situation yeah
We all know the fear will soon be leaving
And we all know it's gonna be ok
One way in and no way out
One way in and no way out
No way out
Sooner or later you're gonna have to face it
Cos we all know the future is the force
We all see the old will soon be leaving
Cos we are told it's gonna be ok
One way in and no way out
One way in and no way out

11. Open Your Mind lyrics

I thought life was supposed to be
A lesson in itself
But each day I find it so much harder
Believe in what you feel inside
Cos there's no wrong and there's no right
Everyday I find it so much harder
What do you see when you close your eyes
How do you feel when you sleep at night
Maybe it's time you opened up your mind

Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
