about

Water

Gowan wrote the lyrics for this when he was 15, and the music not long after. It's therefore very much about teenage angst etc., set against the backdrop of Fireworks Night, of all things. The violins were supplied by the wonderful Joanne Buckland. Gowan has never really liked the name of the song, but it stuck and that was that. We probably should have changed it following that bit in Family Guy when Stewie refers to 'douchebags ruining the guitar' and it cuts to just such a douchebag playing a song called 'Water' on an acoustic guitar.....! Oh well.
Just to be clear, the line in the chorus is 'it wears like water', a reference to water-torture; for quite a while Forward thought Gowan was singing 'where's that water?'. That would have been a silly lyric, and an even sillier question (possible answers include: in the lake, in the sea, in most beverages, on the Moon). To be fair, it's not the worst mistake Forward's ever made.
Actually, on reflection, a much more misleading lyric is in the first verse: for the record, it's 'November shade', not 'November sh*t', which is what it sounds like – not the best enunciation there!

about

Febria Wales, UK

Febria ('FEBB-ree-uh') consists of four/five very good friends. After recording several EPs and a full-length album, and playing many gigs around the UK, the band went on a long hiatus (hey, it works for Tool!). We then reconvened and released The Sea Around Us EP, and have now recorded a new album called 'Longing', which was released on 11th November. We hope you enjoy it! ... more
