About Sing

"Sing" is the lead single from indie rock band Travis' third studio album, The Invisible Band. It was released in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2001, following an extensive five-week promotional campaign. The song became the band's highest-charting single in their home country, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart. "Sing" was a worldwide success, reaching the top ten in New Zealand and several countries in Europe, including France, where it reached number two. The song is noted for its prominent use of the banjo (played by Andy Dunlop), a country music instrument then considered rare for mainstream pop. Fran Healy came up with the song as he watched a swingbeat video on MTV, leading him to write a basic melody called "Swing" about children in a swing set. As he performed with the rest of the band, he changed the song to "Sing", making the lyrics about the healing powers of singing. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Baby, you've been going so crazy 
Lately, nothing seems to be going right 
Solo, why do you have to get so low 
You're so
You've been waiting in the sun too long 

But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
For the love you bring won't mean a thing 
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing 

Colder, crying on your shoulder 
Hold her, and tell her everythings gonna be fine 
Surely, you've been going to early 
Hurry, 'cause no one's gonna be stopped 

No, now, now, now, now if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
For the love you bring won't mean a thing 
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing 

Baby, there's something going on today 
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing 
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

So, now, now, now, now, now if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
For the love you bring won't mean a thing 
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Ah baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing 
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
