Amigos desde los 14 años, Athlete tomó las influencias de Grandaddy y The Flaming Lips y empezaron a tocar en el sótano de "El Oso" un bar ubicado en Deptford High Street en 1999.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
This is an absolutely awesome song. As soon as I heard it I couldn't get it out my head. I'm not normally a fan of Athlete either, so this song is going to make me reevaluate their work. Top marks to them.
(there are other guitars in there too but I can't pick them out. Comments welcome.)
Verse -----
(I make no attempt to tab the riffs being played on a lead guitar behind this. I'll leave that someone more qualified to pick it out!)
FGAmF The sun got stuck, as it's making it's way back down, FGAmF We find ourselves, in a familiar part of town AmGF And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you
Chorus ------ CG So when I see you next we'll make the most of it, AmF Tell the sun to start moving again, CG The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips, AmF And I'll take you there with me
post-chorus interlude:
C, G, Am, Dm C, G, Am, F
Verse 2 ------- FGAmF My head crashed down, and conditioned myself to sleep, FGAmF The great night out, that will continue to the end of the week AmGF And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you
Chorus ------ CG So when I see you next we'll make the most of it, AmF Tell the sun to start moving again, CG The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips, AmF And I'll take you there with me
Bridge ------ AmG It's you and me connected to a satellite FG It's you and me love through a machine AmG It's you and me connected to a satellite FG It's you and me love through a machine
Chorus ------ CG So when I see you next we'll make the most of it, AmF Tell the sun to start moving again, CG The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips, AmF And I'll take you there with me
