Tindersticks - Let's Pretend

Tindersticks - Let's Pretend

Tindersticks are an Indie rock band from Nottingham, England that formed in 1991. They released six albums before singer Stuart A. Staples took on a solo career. The band reunited briefly in 2006, but more permanently the following year. The band have recorded several film soundtracks. Staples, Boulter, Fraser, Macauley and Hinchliffe, all former members of Asphalt Ribbons, formed the band in 1991. The final line-up for the Old Horse mini-LP (1991) was: Stuart Staples (vocals) Dave Boulter (organ and accordion) Neil Fraser (guitar) Dickon Hinchliffe (guitar and strings) Al Macauley (percussion and drums) John Thompson (bass). Mark Colwill was recruited when Thompson left the Asphalt Ribbons, but it is not known if he played any gigs under the Asphalt Ribbons name. They then changed their name to Tindersticks after Staples discovered a box of matches on a Greek beach... Let's Pretend by Tindersticks Album: Curtains (1997) Let's not make it into a big thing Let's not get lost ! in this I know it is, I know we could I guess we surely would Let's pretend it's not It doesn't mean a thing Let's not blow it out of all sense As though it meant so much It's always thought about for weeks Not every time your lips meet mine, I think of her But when her hands reach out, I think of you.
