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 ...
(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 ...
1978
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 ...
Disappear
"Disappear" is a track composed by Suggs and Bedders for the Madness album "Absolutely". It is considered to be their most melodic creation and has a Motown-inspired sound. The song begins with a beautiful piano melody from Barson and ...
Kitchen Floor
Woody: 'Kitchen Floor' was the first of a bunch of songs I wrote with my brother Nick. He absolutely cannot stop writing songs. He makes things quite simplistic, and his songs can be monotone - he doesn't resolve melodic lines. But that's ...
Powder Blue
Mike: 'Powder Blue' was one of my favourite songs on the album. It was an old song, from back when I'd been working with Suggs, before he decided to do his solo career. He'd given me the lyric and l'd written the tune to it ages ago - it was a ...
My Girl 2
Mike: My wife is from the former Yugoslavia, where they use the phrase "Da" for "yes" So the opening to 'My Girl 2', with everyone shouting "Oui oui, si si, ja ja, da da!" is some chap being very enthusiastic about his girlfriend, so ...
Forever Young
The band presented several songs from their latest album, "The Liberty of Norton Folgate," in three concerts held at London's Hackney Empire in June 2008. One of the songs that they played was 'Forever Young,' featuring a melodious tune. Suggs ...
Grandslam
(Don’t Let Them) Catch You Crying
Solid Gone
Smyth’s Fifties rock’n’roll pastiche, ‘Solid Gone’, possibly motivated by a rock’n’roll rockabilly revival which saw the likes of Matchbox following acts such as Rocky Sharpe & The Replays into the UK charts. Within a month of the release of ...
Black and Blue
Mike: I wrote 'Black and Blue' about breaking up with my missus, Sandra. We'd been married for a very long time. That song was about the breakup, and the relief, in some ways, when you've been stuck in the negative spiral that some ...
Blackbird
Shut Up
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 ...
Is There Anybody Out There?
Mike kicks off this track with a Beach Boys-style organ intro that evokes a late '60s vibe, complemented by Chris's gritty guitar riff and subtle saxophone backing. As I listen, I can't help but reminisce about the con artists who used to sell ...
The Opium Eaters
Rockin’ in A♭
Dan Barson was the singer of Bazooka Joe, a north London rock and roll band that started in 1970. His brother Mike used to see them play in the mid-1970s. After seeing the Sex Pistols, the band changed and is now better known as Stuart ...
What On Earth Is It (You Take Me For?)
An old track resurrected, previously known as "Pussy Galore," was written by Lee Thompson and first aired during "The Sound of Madness Tour" in December 2018. Unfortunately, the track heavily echoes the style of "Crunch! (Aka the Nutty Boys)" ...
Dangerman AKA High Wire
Cathal: Take a piece of thread, pass it thru the eye of a needle and wash it in purple sand. Stitch a circle of gold silk to a blue mohair jacket and whisper three times beneath a full moon the incantation... love is the answer... all will be ...
