After more than half a year of silence, Strange Sound is back and to stay!
And, let's celebrate the come back, wishing a happy birthday to Mat Osman, the bassist of Suede, who is today 46 years old! In order to do that, I'll post my own, top 5 of Suede songs written by Mat Osman and Brett Anderson.
5 - What Violet Says
This is the only contribution (for now) of Mat Osman as a songwritter after Suede's come back. It's a proof that he can still makes good songs!
4 - Golden Gun
It looks like that, back in 2003, after A New Morning, the writting partnership in Suede was more into Mat Osman than into Richard Oakes or Alex Lee. Mat wrote the main single on that year and the main b-side.
3 - Lost In TV
One of best songs from "A New Morning" and, despite this album is viewed as the worst Suede work, this song, along with Obsessions, it is one of the most appreciated by the fans. Very sweet and cool vibe and great backing vocals.
2 - Attitude
Attitude was the new single from the singles compilation release in 2003. After the flop of A New Morning, the band needed to creat a new type of sound, something more catchy and charming. In my opinion, Attitude reflects that very well and is one of the most under-rated songs by the band.
1 - Europe Is Our Playground
The classic Coming Up b-side that is still one of the favourites among the fans. Personally this is my travel song, every time I am in a bus, train or plane making a big trip I loose myself listening to this song. "Europe is our playground, London is our town, so run with me baby now..."
