Bombay Bicycle Club – Turn The World On. An exclusive live performance for Vevo.

    From the jump, Bombay Bicycle Club had an uncanny ability to package complex melodies into pristine indie rock parcels. “Always Like This,” the fan favorite from their mostly rockin’ but sometimes folky 2009 debut album, is a lesson in counterpoint from bassist Ed Nash and guitarist Jamie MacColl. On next year’s acoustic-leaning “Flaws” album, the beautifully simple “Dust on The Ground” is followed by “Ivy & Gold,” a sparkling jig that makes you want to pick up your own guitar and try to nail its intricate melody. The 2000s indie golden era was typified by ambitious songwriting, and the London quartet exemplified it with songs that were both angular and angsty, yet lush and downright pretty. It all came together on ‘A Different Kind Of Fix,’ where vocalist/guitarist Jack Steadman’s experimental pastiches of harmonies, falsettos, samples, and synths still left space for fantastic bass and guitar lines; see: “Lights Out, Words Gone” and “Shuffle.” More than a decade removed from that album, they’re strong as ever. 2020’s shifty, crunchy, and hypnotic “Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You)” boasts more than 60 million Spotify streams. We had a blast capturing four tracks from their sixth studio album ‘My Big Day.’ On this project they invited some friends: Damon Albarn, Nilufer Yanya, Jay Som, Chaka Khan (!!!) and Holly Humberstone. But in our studio, it was the core four doing what they do best: creating space for each member, trading riffs, enchanting listeners.

    1. You always think you've blinked and missed it

      On your last lap 'round the sun

      I never felt so optimistic

      Since the days when I was young

      I'd dream of growing old

      And all the things I thought I would have done

      Turn the world on

      You'll make a fine young man

      You'll smooth it out, you'll see where I went wrong

      You'll find your merry gang

      They'll hang their bags a couple pegs along

      They're leaving one by one

      They're calling out, they're begging you to come

      Turn the world on

      Turn the world on

      You make your bed just how you wanna

      Make your bed how you intend

      You take the page and fold the corner

      Try to skip right to the end

      You'll dream of moving on

      To all the things you thought you would have done

      Turn the world on

      Turn the world on

      It won't wait for you

      Turn the world on

      It won't wait for you

      It won't wait for you

      Turn the world on

      It won't wait for you

      It won't wait for you

      Turn the world on

      It won't wait for you

      It won't wait for you

      Turn the world on

      Nice song :))
