Modern Way

Product Information

NH: When we play a gig we only enjoy it when the crowd enjoys it. I went to see a certain artist who did a 20-minute solo acoustic bit. People were talking and he started complaining that they should listen. My feeling was that they came to see you and they're not enjoying themselves. UK 7-inch single [4] A. "Modern Way" – 3:31 B. "Run Again" – 2:40 Charts [ edit ] Chart (2005–2006) NH: Yes, we were asked to write one. It wasn't our thing. It was a romcom. We thought it would be interesting. And it wasn't. But one day it would be cool.

RW: That's brilliant. Twenty million people could be watching it and you'll be at home. The thing about being on stage and doing what we do is that it's not about showing off. It's not like you crave the attention. We're doing something for the audience, not vice versa. It's not that we've got big egos and want them to clap along. We want people to clap along because we want them to enjoy clapping along. My brain is not damaged just in need of some repair". If I am right, then the repair he needs is love and someone to comfort him and take his mind away from what he has lost. "Hold on to the basics but we can change all our tactics." Could this be about finding love and falling in love again but doing it differently this time so that he doesn't make the same mistakes and mess it up again? It has the swagger and momentum of a genuine pop classic, stuffed full of smart, catchy songs played with a confidence and brio not encountered since the Blur/Oasis wars." NH: It's one of the favourite songs of Brendan Benson, the great singer-songwriter in The Raconteurs. RW: That's what a lot of people do when they go further in their careers. They get too into themselves and become boring, because it's too grown up and too serious.Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.

DA: I think that's a line of criticism where people criticise something for what it's not rather than what it is, and that always disturbs me – it's a bit like criticising Coca-Cola for not being wine. Sometimes I want one and sometimes the other. To me this song is about a similar situation to which I found myself in. It seems to be about a rebound relationship. One thing the word was definitely used for is to describe a former pupil of the Leeds Grammar School, which they both attended, and the name of its school magazine.

DA: We didn't just think: "We'll get Paul Weller and Bryan Ferry and get them to do a duet." The thing that concerns me is that there are vast swathes of contemporary audiences that have never really seen great musicians playing – not famous ones, but people who can really rip stuff up and really play.John Smeaton is now of course long gone, and part of the history books, just like some of the infamous Leeds hangouts the Kaiser Chiefs would have grown up around.

This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.The songs start with an initial idea by me on the guitar or piano, but what comes out in the end is a team effort. We don't have a dominating figure who dictates what people play. I think this might explain why we still get along." An engraving of noted English civil engineer and physicist John Smeaton, Leeds, England, circa 1785. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. DA: It made things a little bit sour, though. It's an award for songwriters and composers. He was being honoured for his considerable body of work and we were at the event with people like The Bee Gees and multimillion selling artists like the Kaiser Chiefs. The way pop music works – sometimes it is loud, sometimes it is simplistic and sometimes it doesn't need to go beyond three chords to do what it sets out to do. He made his views clear, which were: "You're idiots if you like music like this."

Faking it everyday" He could be faking his feelings for this new person because they like him and if he fakes it long enough he will fall for them and get what he wants? RW: Spike Lee. Something you'd watch twice. Withnail and I. Something with a bit of a sense of humour.NH: We've got a very special cover that we're going to play. But I don't want to give away the gold. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
