Biography

The Magnetic Fields (named after the [a945713] novel Les Champs Magnétiques) is an American indie pop group founded and led by Stephin Merritt. He is the group's primary songwriter, producer and vocalist, as well as frequent multi-instrumentalist. The Magnetic Fields is essentially a vehicle for Merritt's songwriting, along with various side-projects, such as The 6ths, Future Bible Heroes and The Gothic Archies. While the particular musical style of the band is usually as malleable as Merritt's songwriting, its songs are commonly attributed to pop genres and subgenres: synthpop, indie pop, and noise pop. The band is often also cited as being recognizable by Merritt's lyrics, often about love and often with irregular or neutral gender roles, that are by turns ironic, tongue-in-cheek, bitter, and humorous.

LYRICS

They say there's a sun in the sky but me, I can't
imagine why There might have been one before you were
gone but now all I see is the night I don't believe
in the sun How could it shine down on everyone and
never shine on me How could there be such cruelty
The only sun I ever knew was the beautiful one that was you
Since you went away it's nighttime all day and it's usually
raining too... The only stars there really are were
shining in your eyes There is no sun except the one that
never shone on other guys The moon to whom the poets croon
has given up and died Astronomy will have to be revised...
