Early Travis appreciation

[sumiresailon]

I’ve been going back to some early Travis stuff lately. Whenever She Comes Around has beautiful strings, and Rock ‘N’ (Salad) Roll is just really cute. Would love to know which early Travis tracks you all still love.

And Good Time Girls

Love the fragile beauty and pain of youth in ’20’.

Dougie’s ‘Just the Faces Change’ also holds a special place in my heart.

The latter takes me back to university dorms and I can taste the melancholy of that time.

Youth was beautiful, and so is now. ❤️

Blue on a Black Weekend! I love how they used to be anti-weekend, also with Writing to Reach You and so on, haha.
Also, Combing My Hair is a very good song

Anti-weekend🤣

Anti- weekend 😂😂
Love “20” because sums up pretty well what felt like at the time and it can be applied on adulthood 😅
One of my fav is Days of our lives, beautiful painful lyrics with music that takes up the theme of “blowing in the wind”
Rock ‘n’ roll salad and Green behind the ears are very nice rocking songs
I would like a box set release of all their b-sides ❤️

I was listening to the first album the other day and I thought how creepy it would if they sing U16 Girls now 😂

[sumiresailon]

Haha I think that’s a different kind of fun…👻

I don’t think I have ever been at a Travis concert the band has performed this live, but I have always wanted to witness it. I get where you are coming from though, but it is still a cracker.

Actually, they did on the last tour in NYC. It was dedicated to Fran’s son!

[sumiresailon]

Awww

[Maria_uy]

Hahaha It is a good advice after all.

I think it’s a phase for the band that falls somewhere between doing something for the first time and doing it before they’re publicly or globally known there’s a vibe and something very special going on that they managed to capture in the songs that whole phase is truly memorable.

[sumiresailon]

So true. It’s like catching lightning in a bottle before the world caught on. That raw spark is irreplaceable, and it’s wonderful they’ve kept that spirit going all these years.
