Artist:Maxïmo Park
Song:Wraithlike
Here's a song that finally you can understand
A minor statement meant to counteract the plan
A list of wraith-like things, that quicken the heart
Just another song of faded memory
A raison d'etre for the entire family
I don't remember it well
I was in love for a spell
Copies of 'Sight and Sound'
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her voice
That's untrue
It's just not as sharp as before
Find some transparent words to give security
Another vacant smile that says rely on me
No way, commitment's a bore
Where have I heard it before?
I could've sworn that everything was crystal clear
But I was shackled by a language of ideas
A desert has its own rules
Outside the circle it's cruel
Copies of 'Sight and Sound'
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her voice
That's untrue
It's just not as sharp as before
The final verse is often meant to tie things up
But in this case my morals 've been most corrupt
I don't remember it well
I was in love for a spell
Copies of 'Sight and Sound'
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her face
That's a lie
It's just not as real as before
由Paul Smith领军的五人乐队Maximo Park2003年在英格兰的纽卡素（Newcastle）成军，队员们虽然依然带有极重的口音，但却没有任何"乡下佬"的气味，相反，由包装设计，到乐队的妆扮，再到主音Paul Smith创作的歌词，还有他喜欢阅读作诗的嗜好，都为MAXIMO PARK添上了一份不太一样的色彩。2005年5月，五个小伙子拥有了他们的第一张专辑《A Certain Trigger》，并得到了现有唱片公司WARP Records的一纸合约。
之后便是一系列令人乍舌的成绩，他们的5首单曲都上了排行榜的前20名，包括《Apply Some Pressure》，《 Graffiti》，《 Going Missing》以及《I Want You To Stay》，他们的首张大碟荣登了英国的金曲地位还获得了英国的水星音乐大奖。这五个英格兰北部的小伙子在一步一步地奠定着他们在乐坛不可动摇的地位，相信如歌曲一样，有些慢热的他们在今后也一定会有更加傲人的成绩。
