Set Me Free (Let Me Be)

With his fifth composition on the album, Foreman presents a smooth yet dark track that instantly immerses you into the shadows of lockdown, evoking images of watching the sun and the moon and the seasons pass from the window of an empty room. ...

If I Go Mad

The track is a magnificent piece of music that should have been the first single. Originally debuted during the lockdown in the one-off show "The Get Up!" in late 2022, it quickly stood out. Suggs' vocal delivery is flawless, likely because he ...

Mummy’s Boy

Mark explains that "Mummy's Boy" was written while he was still at school. "It was a chance remark by one of my teachers who told me he still lived at home with his parents. That set me thinking—in fact, I found it quite shocking.

Culture Vulture

Okay, it’s been over 30 years in the making—well, not really. Though some might try to draw a strange connection to the song once heard in 1996 at Madstock, this is not that tune. The only common thread here is the title, 'Culture Vulture.' ...

Wings Of A Dove

(You) Cant Keep A Good Thing Down

Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...

Promises Promises

Tarzan’s Nuts

Practically an instrumental with a few lines of banter to kick it all off, it's hardly surprising that these days, the band has a very shaky recollection of how the song came about.

Going To The Top

So Alive

Mike: My wife loved 'So Alive' very much as a demo. I like that song, it's heartfelt. Even though we were having some difficulties, at the same time, creatively, Cathal was in a good place and was writing some really good stuff.

Uncle Sam

Shadow on the House

The Young and the Old

Suggs says the track "The Young and The Old" is about getting drunk in the pub and noticing how old people acted younger as the evening went on. A very astute observation for a man of such tender years!

Lovestruck

Oh My Love

In the Rain

'In The Rain' was initially relegated to the 12-inch single of 'My Girl' as an 'otherwise unavailble track' but was an overlooked gem, 'In The Rain', which shared much of the same air of pathos as the A-side with its tale of being jilted on a ...

Round We Go

The song, written by Woodgate, is a catchy tune that deserves to be released as a single. The backing singers provide a solid hook, and the studio mix boasts a stronger, more heavenly intro than the raw live version. It's likely that Madness is ...
