    Hey Madi from Shropshire!
    Thanks for listening to the music. It’s cool how songs are bookmarks to life. I love that Travis are still the same 4 people. It’s a closed circuit. Each record is the same people, a bit further down the line. Each song, for better or worse, is how they are playing together at that point. It’s always sad when band members leave. That saddest one for me is Gerry leaving Teenage Fanclub and Bill Berry leaving REM.

    Yeah it’s ace. Lovely to see it again. We tried to match it the best we could to the old one. There are still some snags but we’ll iron those out. X

    I remember hearing Re-Offender on radio 1 when it got its first play. Jo Whiley introduced it as “ a song about being trapped inside a brutal relationship” I was like oh no… hahaha. Another memory of that song was when we were recording the strings in Air Studios. Joby Talbot was conducting and I was making little changes here and there. There was one particularly difficult to explain change on the chorus I wanted to try where the notes of each chord changed pile on top of the next and resolve on the final “again” and just as I was starting to explain, George Martin walks into the room and stands behind me at the desk. So now I’m totally bricking it, trying to explain this quite odd arrangement idea that might sound shite “under his eye” Joby understood though and translated my incoherent-to-classically-trained-musicians instructions and they tried it. When they finished George said “Very good… very good” and then left.
