Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me? - CARDINAL SESSIONS

It was a cold but sunny day in Berlin on the 8th of March when we met Fran Healy and Dougie Payne from Travis. We grew up with their records, it was a real honor to record this session. Fran came a few minutes late, because he forgot his guitar, so we had a little chat with Dougie about the Premier League. They performed two songs - one new, one old - including the classic 'Why does it always rain on me?' in front of a few kids playing in the background. Thanks guys!

__________________________________

Cardinal Sessions was founded in the summer of 2010. They challenge the classic music video and try to replace impersonal footage with immediate and emotional snapshots.

Bands from all over the world with their different genres present their songs reduced to the essence of the musical spectrum - only vocals and unplugged instruments. Due to the spontaneous live-aspect and the approach to record every song without any additional rehearsal, songs emerge that often sound significantly different to their album versions.

We film on locations that the musicians mostly choose by themselves: remote places, frequented streets, parks, woods, fields, bars; nothing is impossible. We have accomplished our goal if the location fits well to the background of the music we and the artists want to present. But our most important purpose is that there are no borders: we film everything that we like, no matter how popular, famous or also unknown a band might be. It is still important for us to support local talents and it will always stay part of our concept.

The Cardinal Sessions team can also be booked: for example to film short documentaries of album recordings, studio recordings or live concert moments that you want to capture.

When I was a kid my dad made a mix-cd for me and this was one of the first songs on it. Love it to this day. This was amazing, thank you!

Dougie Payne, what a bass player, saw him in argentina en velez, he is a one of the best of his generation.

Ouço quase todos os dias, quando a sensibilidade fica mais aguçada e, portanto, sinto um grande orgulho por fazer parte desta condição humana generosa que cria obras primas de arte, tais quais esta, e nos deixa mais próximos do sentido da vida !!!!

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
Oh why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold

People are going on and on about his appearance. 1. He looks fucking great 2. He writes better songs than all of the young "pretty" popstars out there.

[herdondoozer]

Saw them open for Oasis back in the day and was like who the F are these guys. They ended up having some good tunes.,

[markcrosby]

Turn up the bass please!! What's the point

[supernatural]

it's something weird but he was a good looking guy in 90's and now he looks like he was 50 or more, his voice isn't so good, I don't know why, many people have good voice even they are old but I feel not everybody is the same
