TAAQ's first single of 2021, after 2020's prescient album 'A World Gone Mad', and reflective acoustic single, 'Tilt'. 2021 also marks the band's 25th Anniversary. 'Inside Out' is an upbeat track with funk / pop / acid-jazz leanings, perfect for the emerging post-pandemic positivity.
lyrics
Shut the door my love
Hold on to me
Hold - Hold on to me
Now the world is strange
Be kind to me
Be - Be kind to me
Inside and in between
Is another universe
Inside we’ve been
And it’s better not worse
Inside, and looking out
I’ve got you, I’ve got you
Inside, and there’s no doubt
We’re in luck, if we only knew
When inside goes back to out
Stay Inside…
We share time and space
In new ways now
In - In new ways now
Grateful for those we touch
In the here and now
in - In the here and now
Inside these walls and windows
A second life it calls
Isn’t all light and rainbows (no light, no rainbows)
And this song, it falls
Inside, and looking out
I’ve got you, I’ve got you
Inside, and there’s no doubt
We’re in luck, if we only knew
When inside goes back to out
Stay Inside…
Stay Inside, Inside out
Stay Inside, Inside out
Stay, Stay Inside, Stay Inside, Inside out
Stay Inside
Inside, and looking out
I’ve got you, I’ve got you
Inside, and there’s no doubt
We’re in luck, if we only knew
When inside goes back to out
Stay Inside…
Stay Inside, Inside out
Stay Inside, Inside out
Stay, Stay Inside, Stay Inside, Inside out
Stay Inside

"Thermal And A Quarter (TAAQ) is on the vanguard of the Indian Rock Scene" - NPR,
USA
Founded in 1996, TAAQ is an eclectic, irreverent (but usually relevant) band that considers itself and its music as bastard children of the world. At home everywhere, belonging nowhere. Always true, tight, intense and ready to laugh....more
