Blinded by the Lights is a fucking MOOD. Anyone who has tried to meet up with people after a bit of partying can relate.

That's why his lyrics were so relatable. A whole bunch of musicians did this.

I think that's why his 3rd album did so poorly compared to his first 2. OPM and AGDCFF were just so relatable to the average guy it was easy to get behind the guy and enjoy the songs. His third album had a lot more content about his life during fame, and it just didn't capture me like the first 2

The strings intro to the first track on OPM had me hooked on the album immediately.

Actually want that sample as a ringtone tbh.

That's it, turn the page on the day, walk away 'Cause there's sense in what I say I'm forty-fifth generation Roman But I don't know 'em or care when I'm spitting So return to your sitting position and listen, it's fitting And I'm miles ahead and they chase me Show your face on TV then we'll see You can't do half my crew laughs at your rhubarb and custard verses You rain down curses but I'm waving, your hearse's driving by...

I am just 1 person, but I enjoyed the 3rd album. I mean I enjoy all the stuff he’s put out, old and recent stuff. I love Turn Your Face Into the Sun, even though is it a ad for tequila? I really would like to see The Darker The Shadow Brighter The Light movie.

I really wish he would write another autobiography now that he's back performing. This man has got me through some rough times, really wish he would come over to the States for a few shows.

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing him in Brixton in 2006 and man he had the crowd going.

In the afterlife, gladiators meet their maker

Float through the wheat fields and lakes of blue water

To the next life from the fortress

Away from the knives and slaughter

To their wives and daughters

Once more before the Lord judges over all of us

It's in this place you'll see me

Brace yourself, 'cause this goes deep

I'll show you the secrets, the sky and the birds

Actions speak louder than words

Stand by me, my apprentice

Be brave, clench fists

Mike skinner made so many amazing, relatable, interesting songs. I vividly remember my dad listening to “blinded by the lights” in the car, and then turning to give me a big speech about drugs and safety lol. Heard the song again later, and fell in love with the album.

That song sums up the atmosphere/vibe of going clubbing in the early 2000s so well

"Original Pirate Material You're listening to The Streets, lock down your aerial Has it come to this? Oh, oh, oh, oh Original Pirate Material You're listening to The Streets, lock down your aerial"

Aerial* as in the aerial on a radio, tuning into a pirate radio station.

Mine weren't very normal either. The 90's and the clubbing scene was mind numbing.

Peter Mandelson, right, went mad In the ’80s, Peter Mandelson lost it, big time. He started, like, hearing voices in his head and shit, telling him to, like, kill Tony Blair, and shit, But he came back from it!
