AVAILABLE DIGITALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF THE BONES OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
“In late Summer 2011, Martin and I got together after having talked about doing so for a few years and started throwing down some synth-based ideas in my studio on the south side of Glasgow. ‘Manhattan' was the fourth idea we worked on together. It was the first time we messed around with sampling and chopping up our vocals which would go on to become one of the hallmarks of the band’s sound. Lyrically, we were playing around with pretty abstract apocalyptic imagery - in this case the Manhattan Project. This was right around the time we asked Lauren to come into the studio to try out some additional vocals.” - Iain Cook

Lyrics
Lap of light
Cover the way and keep my side
Or steal away from me
And keep a tight lip in secret silence
Eyes like mine
Watching you blow us all to hell
But if you took our lives
There would be no one to tell your story
How can I make you understand
Lying with you, I held your hand
“Never look down,” I heard you say
But it’s over and I just can’t believe I’m wrong
How can I make you understand
Lying with you, I held your hand
“Never look down,” I heard you say
But it’s over and I knew it was all along
Wild like time
Why can’t you believe or just abide?
The way I tell you so
I stop the day for one simple side show
Season’s smile
We were unable to stay warm
But in the darkest night
There’s an ember that’s always burning
How can I make you understand
Lying with you, I held your hand
“Never look down,” I heard you say
But it’s over and I just can’t believe I’m wrong
How can I make you understand
Lying with you, I held your hand
“Never look down,” I heard you say
But it’s over and I knew it was all along
