Jarrah waia: I like music coz iam a dancer and i rip it up
Robyn: ilikemusic because... It’s the way I want to express myself. It’s not a choice. It’s just always been there. It’s just what I do.
Stine Richard: ilikemusic because... its the only way I know how to express myself...
Darren: ilikemusic because... It makes me dance like a motherf**ker
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
shantel: ilikemusic because... it is a passion and a hobbie to when i sing and dance i do it from my soul
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
dawn Leonetti: ilikemusic because... it makes me spin, giggle and bubble up - kinda my own Rice Crispies cereal ("snap, crackle, pop") in the audio form...
Seaney Devereux: ilikemusic because... there's a song for every emotion and music creates debate and debate is what brings us together, it breaks down the walls that seperate sterotypes and it's always involved in your favourite youth memories.
It's not been a bad start to 2005 for Athlete. Stepping in to the spring the band have a number 1 platinum album, 'Tourist', have played two sold out tours in the UK and by the end of April will have played to nearly 20,000 fans in the space of four months in London alone.
'Halflight', follows the release of the no.4 charting single 'Wires' and is the perfect accompaniment to the start of spring; sunny, warm and uplifting. The single will be available on 2 track cd and Maxi cd enhanced with the video and 7" picture disk. Formats include two brand new tracks and 'Wires' taken from the Jo Whiley Maida Vale session.
