Athlete é uma banda de indie rock inglesa natural de Deptford, Londres, composta por Joel Pott (vocal e guitarra), Carey Willetts (baixo e vocal), Stephen Roberts (bateria e vocal) e Tim Wanstall (teclado e vocal). Recentemente, o quarteto recrutou Jonny Pilcher, da banda Weevil, como guitarrista em apresentações ao vivo.
Amigos desde os catorze anos, a banda sofreu influências de Grandaddy e The Flaming Lips em seu percurso, que começou praticando em 1999 no porão do The Bear, um pub inglês em Deptford.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
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
