The xx are a Mercury Prize-winning trio formed in 2005 in London, England, United Kingdom. The band members are Romy Madley Croft (vocals, lead guitar), Oliver Sim (vocals, bass guitar), and Jamie Smith, known as Jamie xx (beats, MPC sampler). Second guitarist and keyboardist Baria Qureshi left the band in 2009.   Bonding over a shared love of dark, emotive 80s guitar sounds and the high-end sheen of American R&amp;B...

Quand ils commencent à faire parler d'eux au Royaume-Uni en 2009, les membres de The XX ont une moyenne d'âge de 20 ans à tout casser. Un jeune âge certes, mais en 2009, c'est presque devenu monnaie courante. Inspirés des Cocteau Twins, les quatre londoniens sortent, XX, un premier album très bien accueilli par la critique.  Romy Madley Croft et Oliver Sim se sont rencontrés à l'école maternelle, et ont plus tard été rejoints par Baria Qureshi et Jamie Smith, alors qu'ils faisaient leur étude à Elliot, école de laquelle sortent également Hot Chip, Four Tet ou Burial.

'The xx' ist eine aus London stammende dreiköpfige Postpunk- und New Wave-Band die R'n'B-Elemente in ihrer Musik verarbeitet.   Oliver Sim:  Gesang, Bass Romy Madley Croft:  Gesang, Gitarre Jamie Smith: Beats  Ex-Mitglied: Baria Qureshi  Erstmals Aufsehen erregte die Band schon vor der Veröffentlichung ihrer Debütplatte 'XX' ( 2009, erschienen bei XL-Recordings ) als der NME sie als Konzerttipp hypte.

After all the time, after you
                             E
Had you seen me with someone new?

Hanging so high for your return
                       Bm
But the stillness is a burn

Had I seen it in your eyes

# THE END Hope this will help you :)

Em 
You've applied the pressure
Bm                 A
To have me crystalised
Em
And you've got the faith
Bm                  A                    
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralysed
Do I have to keep up the pace 
To keep you satisfied

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest

[ahh ahh ahh] x4

You don't move slow
Taking steps in my directions
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lesson your affection
No

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive

Glacies have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer

[ahh ahh ahh] x4

Glacies have melted to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish the tide would take me over (And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down onto my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow x5

Crystalised

Singer Romy told The Sun : &quot;I love 'Islands' because I found it quite hard to write something more upbeat and light-hearted. We were into this calypso drumming beat and asked Jamie [beats/production] if he could help with those sort of sounds like bongos. That's what makes that song so special.&quot; (Source Islands Songfacts).

                  Eb
When we're not together
               Gm
Mistaken for a vision
Bb                     Eb
Something of my own creation
             Gm   Bb
Any certainties
             Eb
How am I to tell?
                          Gm
I know your face all too well, 
         Bb       Eb
Still I wake up alone

Gm    Bb

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F

  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat

Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
