1) Ash are an alternative rock band that formed in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland in 1992. The media originally pegged Ash's music as Britpop when the band first found mainstream success.
The current line-up of the group is as follows: Tim Wheeler (vocals and guitar), Mark Hamilton (bass guitar) and Rick McMurray (drums).
Ash's full-length debut "1977" was released in 1996 and followed 1994's mini album "Trailer". Named after the year they were all born (and in honour of the year Star Wars was released), "1977" displayed Wheeler and Hamilton's full-fledged love for all things extra-terrestrial and science fiction-related. In autumn 1997, guitarist Charlotte Hatherley was added to the existing trio. Hatherley was recruited from the band Nightnurse.
The new quartet's sophomore effort - "Nu-Clear Sounds" was released in 1998 to a mixed critical reaction. "Free All Angels" followed in April 2001, gaining a U.S. release in the following summer.
Meltdown, the band's first Stateside release for Record Collection, arrived in spring 2005. A year later, and after nine years with Ash, Charlotte Hatherley announced her departure from the band to concentrate on a solo career. The split was amicable and the members of the band have mentioned that they are open to Charlotte returning.
In 2007 the remaining trio (and original line-up) released the album "Twilight Of The Innocents".

The band announces what amounts to a creative Everest, the ‘A-Z Series’: 26 singles in one year, a single for each letter of the alphabet, one release every fortnight. The first taster is free download Return Of White Rabbit, and the UK press loves it; a refreshing electro take on the unstoppable Ash formula, it suggests the ambitious new release schedule has revitalized the band.
The unique subscription service run from the band’s website and own label ‘Atomic Heart Records’ is kicked off with ballad True Love 1980 and is promptly followed by another Ash innovation, the A to Z Tour. The band embark on an alphabetical tour of the UK, a brave – if not foolish – trip around the British Isles from Aldershot to Zennor, bringing the Rock back to some of the nation’s lesser known music venues.

Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the road along the river
Which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore
Then inland for a mile or more
From the cold sea spray
A small wood stands upon the hill
Forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing,
overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lovely grave
A dusk I will make my way
Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
But before I step inside for bed
I'll look up at the stars as we had
All those years ago
So here's for Uncle Pat
In Ash's song "Uncle Pat," the singer reminisces about a yearly pilgrimage along a river to visit the grave of their beloved Uncle Pat. The singer describes the scenery along their route, including a small wood on a hill and an old house in ruins. They end up at a beautiful clearing overgrown with moss and ivy, where Uncle Pat's grave is located. The singer plans to continue their journey home, but not before taking one last look at the stars above, just as they had done with Uncle Pat years ago.
The lyrics evoke a strong sense of nostalgia and loss, as the singer remembers a loved one who is no longer with them. The imagery of nature also plays a powerful role, with the river, woods, and stars symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and the passage of time. The lyrics convey a sense of acceptance and closure, as the singer seems at peace with the memory of Uncle Pat and their lasting impact on their life.

I set out on a journey
I left for a trip this morning
Following the river road
I took the path beside the river
That I only travel once a year
I hardly ever go this way
My stroll will take me by the shore
I'll walk along the beach
Then inland to where the hills soar
And I'll head towards the hills far more
Away from the mist and spray
Far from the cold and windy bay
On a hill stands a small wood
Nearby there's a tiny wooded patch of land
Beside which an old house once stood
There's an old building nearby in the neighborhood
But it's long forgotten and gone for good
Completely ignored, nobody cares if it stood
And in a clearing that's overgrown
There's a spot where plants have overflown
With both moss and ivy grown
Covered with greenery that's abundantly sown
Lies your resting place so lovely and alone
Where you sleep peacefully, with grace and aplomb
Then at dusk, I'll make my way
I'll wander about until the end of the day
Along lanes, through fields I'll stray
I'll take a stroll down winding paths that sway
To where my humble cottage and hearth both lay
I'll head back to my simple home where I stay
But before stepping inside to hit the hay
But before I enter, I'll take a moment to gaze
At the stars above, like we did on that other day
At the twinkling celestial objects, like we did in old days
So here's to Uncle Pat, to honor and celebrate
This whole journey is a tribute to dear Uncle Pat.

I set off this morning
Down the road along the river
Which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore
Then inland for a mile or more
From the cold sea spray
A small wood stands upon the hill
An old house near it lies in ruins
Forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing,
overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lonely grave
At dusk I will make my way
Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
But before I step inside for bed
I'll look up at the stars as we had
All those years ago.
So here's for Uncle Pat.
