“The Band” is the fifth track from their debut album Bring ‘Em In. It was released as a single in 2002.
The song is about a fight between the band’s two singers. It was written when Gustaf Norén wanted to leave the band.
According to CJ in a magazine interview for Binaural in 2011their producer did...
I've played that song from long ago
When every morning longed to fall
It broke my sighs and my regrets
It stumbled on the steps
You've build for climbing towards me
Now it feels like sinners in the sun
When I say -
I said I'd die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I'd rather see you dead
I said i die for you
Or was it in my head
You took me down on oszo
And then you say you'd rahter see me dead
If my depression stood the wind
I spat the devil up his chin
It couldn't do me any harm
It roughed my steel and shut my mouth
My late impression
Oh, that rain that's iching on my skin
When I say-
I said I die for you'
Hold me, scratch my shoulder
Fold me, sue me, watch me going mad
I said I'd die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I'd rather see you dead
The Band was written by Björn Dixgård & Gustaf Norén.
The Band was produced by Mando Diao & Ronald Bood.
