Trying Whining Lyrics


Trying Whining
  • Before recording One Time Bells, the group's full-length debut album, they recorded many of the songs as 8-track demos. This was recorded in that way, and they liked it so much that they used that version for the album. It was done quickly, but it sounds just like the group wanted.

    1985 Lyrics


    1985
  • This song is about kitschy bands that reference the mid-1980's in their lyrics, sound, or appearance. It is not about anything going on with the band members at that time in their lives since they were all ten or younger.
  • The writing of this song is credited to the entire band. For main songwriter (also lead singer and drummer) Nick Stumpf, this is not his preferred style of writing songs. He says that more people means a slower process and sometimes a less pure product. (thanks to Nick Stumpf for giving us these Songfacts in an interview)

    The French Kicks - Down Now Lyrics and Youtube Music Videos

    Album: One Time Bells
    Released: 2002

    Down Now Lyrics


    Down Now
  • Written by lead singer/drummer Nick Stumpf and guitarist/keyboardist Josh Wise. They were listening to a lot of Radiohead at the time and that sound can be heard in parts of the song. Stumpf says, "tons of artists influence the group... there are too many to name."
  • Since there are several tracks of drums on the studio version of the song, Stumpf had to alter his beat in order to perform it live. This is the exception to the rule for the band since they usually try to perform songs live as close to the studio version as possible.

    Sunday Night is Fair Lyrics


    Sunday Night is Fair
  • When they recorded their debut album, the group was destitute. They had no money and had been sleeping on various floors and couches. Lead singer Nick Stumpf described them as being "at the end of our rope... we had been homeless for about 9 months."
  • Nick Stumpf wrote the lyrics the day before he was supposed to recorded the vocals. It was a Sunday night, and he took a walk around Manhattan to get inspiration. The city was empty, and what Stumpf saw on his walk felt similar to the mood of the song's music. Sunday nights are also a time when he feels exhausted from the week and weekend, which also seemed to fit what became "Sunday Night is Fair."
  • This song also features a Wurlitzer, a type of electric piano. Stumpf says that many people mistake the sound of it for a guitar. (thanks to Nick Stumpf for giving us these Songfacts in an interview)
