This song is definitely not about you

El pasado año hablamos de Matt Abott y de su proyecto llamado Skint and demoralised, el post que lo mencionaba lo llamamos "This post is definitely about you", porque la canción que más me gustaba de él, era la que daba título a este post que hoy aparece en el blog. El tema en cuestión es su nuevo sencillo que ya está a la venta.

Release Date: 02/03/2009

skint and demoralised release their brilliant single 'this song is definitely not about you' on mercury records. 'this song is definitely not about you' is the first full release from debut album, 'love and other catastrophes', out in may 2009. the album is a rush of heavyweight guitar hooks, drive time friendly harmonies, killer choruses and a raft of memorable vocal lines that recall lost loves and criticise bitter enemies. 'this song is definitely not about you' is about a former friend who really let me down tells abbott. skint and demoralised began when a 17-year-old matt abbott dialled into the world of spoken word performance poetry, influenced by the likes of john cooper clarke and linton kwesi johnson. performing short sets at local indie gigs earned him a name and a song-writing partnership was formed with producer mini dog. the two started to collect a catalogue of songs; the offspring of abbott's salt-of-the-earth zeitgeist poetry and mini dog's latter-day northern soul-inspired grooves.
the success of early demos and a flourishing online fan network quickly alerted radio one dj and unsigned band champion, steve lamacq. nine thousand downloads on myspace later, skint and demoralised were receiving national radio airplay and were being tipped as one of the best unsigned acts of the year. in spring 2008, skint and demoralised scored a deal with mercury records and by the summer, they were recording at the daptone studios in new york city with legendary soul session band the dap kings.

Letra (obtenida en su MySpace):

Instinctively inconsiderate, intent on having fun
Conveniently covering-up,
all the selfish you've done
You leave guidelines on the sidelines, and ignore
your inhibitions
And the golden rule to live by...is beg forgiveness
Not
permission.

And you stand above the rest but do you stand the test of
time?
And do friendships have expiry dates, a month into their prime?
This
song is not about you, oh-oh...
It's definitely not about you, oh-oh...
This
song is not about you, oh-oh...
It's definitely not about you, oh-oh...
It's
got fuck all to do with you...

Some place to be, some face to see, you never
seem to linger
You keep the people closest to you, wrapped around your little
finger
You've got charismatic qualities, of that there is no doubt
And
everybody's easily impressed
But your dominative tendencies...they don't stand
above the rest.

And do random acts of kindness help to clear a guilty
conscience?
Or am I wrong in thinking that you even have a conscience?

This
song is not about you, oh-oh...
It's definitely not about you, oh-oh...
This
song is not about you, oh-oh...
It's definitely not about you, oh-oh...
It's
got fuck all to do with you...

And does friendship take the sidelines when
it's served it's only purpose?
Left loitering behind you: success has deemed
it surplus
Standing in the corner; hanging on to every word...
And
humiliation settles-in, when the laughter's heard
When the laughter's
overheard...

This song is not about you, oh-oh...
It's definitely not about
you, oh-oh...
This song is not about you, oh-oh...
It's definitely not about
you, oh-oh...
It's got fuck all to do with you...
It's got fuck all to do
with you...
