I like the tune, but for me the word "Battleships" doesn't sound natural in a song.

No Battleships :(
Hopefully for Belfast though. Hmmm, maybe i should start a petition! hehe
think they've been playing it recently, so its possible. not happy at it replacing colder tho.
2 weeks til dublin :)
Ah well, we've heard Colder twice now. It's time for Battleships.
Fran mailed me and Battleships is in the setlist for Belfast! :D

I think that's why they chose it. The contradicion of love and war. |

First time I heard it, I thought it sounded like Driftwood but it doesn't - it's just got exactly the same 'awww, what a nice song' vibe. Songs like Battleships are so far removed from most of what's out there it's just so fantastic to find a song like it. Has taken one band, THE band who do stuff like this better than anyone, 8 years to replicate that feeling but for me they have and that's why I love Battleships so much.
I dunno exactly what that feeling is, can't describe it. Do know it's one of my favourite songs ever. |

| This song bored me at first. Then I hated it coz someone I was supposed to see Travis with stood me up an this is his fave song off the album, but now I kinda like it loads =) |

| I like it a lot as well and one of my faves. Driftwood is one of my faves as well. What can I say, I like analogies! |

| I know what you mean, I thought Battleships was an OK song at first, but in true Travis style it has really grown on me. I now find myself singing it all day long. It is fantastic live too! Looking forward to a chilled out gig at Dalby Forest. |
