I had to dictate a song in an English class long long times ago. The lyrics were quite obscure and hard to follow with my poor english. My very first impression was: what the hell is 'my inisde is outside', why is 'my right side on the left side'. I just wasn't happy with what I dictated.

| I was hanging out at my best friend Kara's house I think it was freshman year of high school and she let me borrow a copy of "The Man Who" that she was borrowing from another girl at school. Well...I never gave it back! LOL. Fell in love with Travis after the first listen!! |

Saw them when they were young uns on Jools Holland... then nuthing much and heard them on the radio.. and the rest was history..
I've a great story though.. Sad and funny... At me da's funeral the radio was coming in through the PA system in the church and that was grand couldn't really hear it clearly until.... it got really quiet and next of all "why does it always rain on me" was blastin through.. I was trying not to laugh the sholders were shakin up and down the aunties probably thought I was bawling me eyes out! ... but couldn't help it ... Me da would have thought it was funny too...! I hope! |

a guy i dated asked me if i listened to them...i said no. he told me i should listen to them, but i didn't.
then a few months later, i heard WDIAROM on the radio, and thought, "oh, shoulda listened to him." i was hooked since!
don't talk much to that guy anymore though...hehe! |

| My friend asked me to download "The Invisible Band" for her two years ago because she had the cd back in Indonesia, but when she moved to the States she left them all behind :( So yeah, I downloaded the cd, and admittedly didn't think much of it other than the songs "Sing" and "Side" were oddly familiar. One year later, I relistened and was amazed at what I had overlooked!! Now I have every cd and LOVE LOVE LOVE them :) I'm a late blossomer is all. |

At a school disco. March 1998. More Than Us was one of the 'slow songs' where couples got up to slow dance. I didn't have anyone, so i sat and listened.
I'd never heard a song so beautiful, and i fell in love. Right there and then. Such a beautiful, fragile opening. Then it builds with the strings into this gorgeous crescendo- and that's what grabbed me. I instantly thought 'this is the best song ever'. It's still my favourite. And i've never stopped loving them :) |

| Summer 1997. I'm on a ferry going to Germany on a school trip with an orchestra. I can still remember it - just about to nick out to the ships bar to try and sneak an underage pint and we've got the cabin radio on. You know those tinny little radios you get on ships, with the small metal grills over the speaker? Well U16 Girls came on and even on that it sounded great. Asked my pal John who they were. Bought the single when I got back to blighty. Got Good Feeling (& Be Here Now!) for my 16th Birthday (released the week before). And the rest, as they say, is history |

I heard them on the radio or the television or some such when I was very young indeed...
Of course they were hard to miss when you live in Scotchland... |
