what's wrong with your friend.. I'd love to go to any of those shows... but it's so farrr :bigcry:

 

When he checked his diary first of all, he got the wrong date, so when he checked again to write it in, he found he had a long lecture that day as opposed to having a "reading" week.

I just for 3 travis albums today woooo! :dance:

Ahhhhh...hello. I am sitting in our studio watching Steve plug leads into sockets. We are about to start the second writing session. The first was successful. 9 songs in as many days. Some songs complete. Some songs need lyrics and arrangements. Some need just lyrics. Everything sounds new and exciting, edgier, less accoustic, without sacraficing melody. We have an album title too! Don't ask :)

At the end of the last tour, our equipment was shipped back to the UK but somewhere between America and here, my Marshall combo went walkies so I replaced it with a VOX AC30 which has opened up new sonic avenues and more importantly inspired a "key song" upon which many of the others will hang. I also switched to playing a Fender Jazzmaster instead of my telecaster. This has helped a great deal too. Deeper growl.

 

We have set some shows in February which are there primarily to force us to finish songs and secondly to rehearse them in front of folks. The recording process will be short. 2 weeks we have set aside. The Sgt. Pepper Lovely Rita experience was key in making us realise how quickly we can work. Alot of the recording time in the past was spent working out songs and re jigging things. The last few recording sessions of The Boy With No Name came from writing sessions which meant songs were ready to record before we went to the studio. (Selfish Jean, Battleships, Eyes Wide Open and One Night came this way). We'd got into the bad habit of going into the studio with the seeds of afew great idea and not finished songs. This isn't bad. It's just indulgent.

 

Why so soon in the studio? It's simple. Baby Dougie/Kelly is due in March. Dougie will need afew months to slip into fatherhood and so we thought we'd try and get it all done before he disappears. If we waited, we'd be way behind the game and the momentum we built up on the recent tour would have dissipated. So it's kind of necessary to just get stuck into it. And I'm glad we have.

 

So. I will try and keep you abreast of the developments as they happen.

Wrote a new song today called "Friends". Written from girl to boy who treats her like shit. The studio was freezing cold. Not too keen on the cold.

 

"Friends" (words subject to change)

 

Who cheers you up

When you are down

Who makes you cups of coffee

Who picks you up

When you're in town

Whatever makes you happy

And I'm glad you're better now

But I'm sad you're not around

Friends

Won't ever desert you

Or turn against

Friends

Won't love you and leave you

To mend the fence

Who wakes you up

When you're late for work

Who makes the bed so lovely

Who found your sock

dee da da shirt

Who doesn't think you love me

And I'm glad I'm better now

But I'm just sad you're not around

Friends

Will never decieve you

Or turn against

Friends

Won't love you and leave you

To mend the fence...

Don't you guys think it's pretty amazing what's happening on the boards right now? What with all the people doing their versions of "Friends"...man, that takes quite some guts.

It's so great, though! & I like how excited Fran is about it XD

Does the main travis forum allow ticket sales at face value?

Awww Friends sounds so good!! :D

 

I'm in love with the song 'My Eyes' now. I think it's one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.

 

When I have a kid I'm gonna play that song to them all the time. :nice:

Oh what a coincidence! one of my friends said today that she likes "My Eyes" :stunned:

I love it too :nice:

Hehe it's such a great song...one of my favorites off the new album!

What happened to friends then? its not on the album.

 

Unless were talking about the album to succeed The Boy with no name?

 

But that came out in 2007 most bands have 2 year breaks between releases at least.

Talking about the next album
