Put It Behind You - "Put It Behind You is another early song on the record,
from about the same time as Atlantic I think. I think my instincts at the time
were going very 'Strokes-y' - it's a very 'Strokes-y' sounding song, and we
liked the idea of keeping things more raw, a bit crunchier. There's not very
much on there, it's a pretty simple rock song and I love that about it. It
sounds very different from Is It Any Wonder for example - it's much simpler,
just 'bash it out' rock song. But it's still got some really cool sounds in
there, and it's a really kinda funky track and I think it's also the most
motown song. The classic motown influence is probably most visible on that one.


from a break-up with a girl that he'd been going out with for seven or eight
years... so I guess it was a kinda friendly slap in the face or something! I
think Tom and I were both feeling that he was getting really bogged down in
this world of regret, and looking backwards all the time, and we just wanted to
offer a way of picking him up and moving forward." - Tim - Podcast 4 (5th June
