Bad Books’ long-awaited, much anticipated new album “III” is out. “UFO” is the song that has a grip on our attention. Bad books is Andy Hull, Robert McDowell (both of Manchester Orchestra), and Kevin Devine.
“Bad Books was always peripheral in our minds because we really like doing it,” Devine says. “We were waiting for the right time to circle back. It was never completely out of our sight lines, but more often than not schedules and life would intervene.”
“A cool thing about Bad Books is not overthinking it and doing what instinctually makes sense,” Hull says. “Manchester is the opposite, it’s all overthinking all the time. Songwriting is always about evolution and how you can do things differently, and it was exciting to try to push ourselves and to embrace this space.”
“It gave us a chance to stretch out and breathe, and not fixate or obsess on them,” Devine says. “No one was working in isolation; no one’s hand got too heavy. It felt like 10 individual sticks we tried to wrap up into a bundle and make them feel like they talk to each other.”

Lyrics of UFO” by Bad Books
8:45 appears
I'm privately alarmed
Taking shots out of a spray paint can
Shot flares into the dark
Tree bark in the glass
Our Homewood permanent cocoon
And you're trying to remember
The last year you saw the moon
Was it 1998?
Was it 2002?
Were there aliens among us?
Were they treating us like food?
Was it 2003?
Was it 2024?
Was it back when I realized there'd be no more
Your other lore
What an empty, gorgeous place
Oh, what an empty, gorgeous place
2:25 appears
And I'm hanging by a thread
Your arms bend with a frustration
Like I'm already dead
Just because I can't remember
Who I used to be
It doesn't mean that I can't tell you
When I'm evaporating
There is nothing in your eyes
There is nothing in the wind
There were two individual trauma cases to amend
I'm a million years away
You're another million more
So, we count the days
Until they just don't need us anymore
What an empty, gorgeous place
Oh, what an empty, gorgeous place
Oh, what an empty gorgeous place
I belong here
I belong
