[dave's girl]

[Sweet One]

I have heard of them....i saw their video on the Wedge ( a show on Much Music) a while back, i tried to download the song, but couldn't find it...come to think of it..i've forgotten the name of the song!!! :roll:

[dave's girl]

well, between us, our vast knowledge of the delgados is enough to impress anyone :roll: :D

[Sweet One]

LOL...you're so right!!! Hey! Maybe we should start a website...it would have NO information!!! LOL...it'd be great!!!

[Sweet One]

but hey! do you know what that song was called???? I can't believe i forgot!!

[dave's girl]

[Sweet One]

Thank you!!! I'm gonna do research on that too...from what i can remember..i kinda liked the song :lol: :roll:

Official word here:
The Delgados, influential figures in Glasgow's independent music scene for over 10 years, have announced that they are to amicably disband. The reason has been put down to the departure of their bass player Stewart Henderson who informed the band in the New Year that he did not wish to make another album. The Delgados have always been known as uniquely collaborative songwriters and as such, it was decided that the band could not continue without all of its original members.

The Delgados leave behind them 5 critically acclaimed albums including The Great Eastern, Hate and last year's Universal Audio. Their two principal songwriters Emma Pollock and Alun Woodward will be pursuing individual projects and drummer Paul Savage will continue production duties at the band's Chem19 Studios in Hamilton.

The four friends will continue to run their record label Chemikal Underground in this, its 10th Anniversary year, with releases scheduled for Malcolm Middleton, Mother & The Addicts and Arab Strap. They are extremely grateful to everyone who has supported The Delgados over the course of their career.


We would especially like to thank all of our fans for your wonderful support. Don't be too upset everyone...get a massive carry out, turn the stereo up and play your albums at full volume.

[BlissfullyMuse]

Never heard of them but what a shame

[Birdo]

never heard of em, will never hear of em again... :wink3:

[Black Rose]

Just found this band after watching a TV program, and after listening to some of their tracks on last.fm, I ordered The Great Eastern and Hate from amazon.

Such beautiful heart-moving music

"In cases such as these I'd like a hand
Don't wake me up without a master plan
With black & white instead of colour
Don't you understand?
When things that once were beautiful
Are bland

And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of me
Haven for us

In truth there is no better place to be
Than falling out of darkness still to see

Without a premonition
Could you tell me where we stand?
I'd hate to lose this light
Before we land

And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of mine
Haven for us

Before we let euphoria
Convince us we are free
Remind us how we used to feel
Before when life was real

And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of mine
Haven for us"

One of the most beautiful songs I have heard in ages

that's what I love to hear!

I'm listening to American Trilogy right now. Ahhh I love the part " on an optimist who insists". The whole chorus is just fantastic.
