1. TURN UP THE SUN: "It's that epic it could've and should've been. The first 3 tracks on the album!! "
2. LYLA: "It's the soundtrack of our lives doing The Who on Skol in a psychedelic city in the sky (or something)"
3. MUCKY FINGERS: "The result of one too many nights in the dressing room, brainwashing Gem with The Velvet Underground then thinking "Fuck it! Dylan rules!"
4. LOVE LIKE A BOMB: "Songbird's bigger, far more interesting brother. One for the ladies, as Liam says. "
5. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IDLE: "Having nothing to do is such a massive job that someone had to write a song about it. "
6. THE MEANING OF SOUL: "Elvis on Red Bull!! "
7. GUESS GOD THINKS I'M ABEL: "Up until two weeks ago, everyone thought the title was "Guess God Thinks I'm Able"!! Now everyone's confused. "
8. PART OF THE QUEUE: "Doesn't sound remotely like anything we've ever done before. Legendary Cuban percussionist Lenny Castro shuffles up a storm. Amazing. "
9. KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE: A Song that totally does justice to the title. Will be a live staple for years to come.
10. A BELL WILL RING: "Ringo's favourite. Enough said."
11. LET THERE BE LOVE: Should've been the last 4 tracks on the album. It took 7 years to finish. Worth the wait?? Oh yes!!
Illuminated? mmm? hmm.
The record is out on May 30th...
