About Comfort in Sound

"Comfort in Sound" is the last single to be taken from Feeder's 2002 album of the same name. It was only available at first on the band's arena tour in December 2003, and was limited to 3,000 copies. A few weeks after the tour, the single was available for download from "Feederweb" with downloadable PDF artwork. The inclusion of the original "Piece by Piece" video was the first time it was ever released in the UK. It made the B-list of BBC Radio 1's playlist - the first time for a download only single in which the CD was not commercially available or not available at all.

We fall right in and suffer the sins
Try to pull things round when the air starts to thin
We nurse regrets, restricted in our own belief
A new disease

We shake new hands, the victims of fate
We tread new ground misfortune conveys
You tear yourself apart
Wishing to be born again
A different man

Comfort in sound
It's all around
Ease back the strain
Come heal your pain
Comfort in sound
Its all around you now
Comfort in sound

We suffer love together as one
An empty heart with nowhere to turn
We find ourselves looking back another way
A brand new day

Comfort in sound
Its all around
Ease back the strain
Come heal your pain
Comfort in sound
Its all around you now, yeah

Solution gone, emotions ablaze
A life so strong just faded away
You find yourself searching for a quick release
A new belief

Comfort in sound
Its all around
Ease back the strain
Come heal your pain
Comfort in sound
Its all around you now
Comfort in sound
