field mice missing the moon

[Tombazley]

Wow, shades of MARS FM!

[semlohd]

Cannot stop listening to this.

@Chipfireball - which member of the clan you then? :-) You're not Mark are you? If you are - where you been all our lives? We miss your music - loved TFM, loved NPL, loved Picture Center...and that was where you guys kinda fell off the radar!

[chipfireball]

@busterabcat...funny you should mention the sequencers, we had to record them live onto this track, and the two idiots in the band got to operate them. ian, the producer, gave us strict instructions to go easy on them, and we showed remarkable restraint right up until about 5 mins 45 secs, at which point we rather lost it :-)

[charadeyouareha]

it's brilliant.

[busterabcat]

MY spelling is atrocious now - I meant to write 'sequencer' below - getting dyslexic in my advancing age now I reckon :(

[busterabcat]

New Order - eat your heart out. This is the Field Mice's amazing swansong Fantastic club-orientated MONSTER of a track it is too. Their similar sequnecre-led 'dance' tracks (Kiss and Make Up, Triangle) are just as awesome.....

[Boudosaved]

@busterabcat Funny you say that because the singer has a similar voice to Bernard Sumner.

[traphikk]

every song i hear by these guys makes me like them more, what a band

hello,the best of FIELD MICE,I LOVE.....

[Rich27014]

Still my favourite song of all time - Beth posted an acoustic version that Bobby did, some time back, on their myspace site. Beautiful.......

[nicck]

Gutted I didn't get to hear that :(

[nicck]

Really? That'd be really nice! :]

[suedehead28]

its on youtube now

[Yorkcityknight]

3rd verse is -

By now you should be home,

Home is far from where I am on this night.

It is only a matter of hours since you were here holding me tight.

Time 'races' by not 'wizzes'.

And it's 'nevertheless' not 'know for the best'

[nicck]

Haha I know where you got them from...

I wrote the first set ages ago, looked back and thought "they're wrong". I sent a message to Bobby and he wrote the proper ones down for me. I couldn't have been further off the mark.

[Yorkcityknight]

Fantasic song. Thanks for posting. You're a bit out on one or two of the lyrics though.

[maripega]

Great song. "Missing the moon" and "Emma's house" are the best songs of The Field Mice (I think so)
