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".
2009: Nearly 12 months of work at their Manhattan command centre has produced an enviable payload of new tunes: the ultimate singles band are about to unveil the ultimate singles collection.
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 ↴
I wasn't feeling all right
I knew it couldn't last
I started thinking of you
And I wished we could be dancing in the dark
(Really slow)
Oh, it's good to know
(I won't be so alone)
I feel heaven in you
Don't you know
I feel heaven in you
Oh, it's true
I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know
Sitting alone
With the TV on
I fell asleep
I was hoping you'd call
And I dreamed we could be dancing in the dark
(Really slow)
Oh, it's good to know
Tomorrow, you are coming home
(I won't be so alone)
I feel heaven in you
Don't you know
I feel heaven in you
Oh, it's true
I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know
Angel interceptor
Apollo 21
Uri Gagarin
Flew into the sun
The angels in heaven
Look down where he lay
Oh tomorrow you are coming home
I feel heaven in you
Don't you know
I feel heaven in you
Oh it's true
I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know
The song "Angel Interceptor" by Ash seems to be about missing someone and wishing for their return. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been alone and perhaps feeling down, but the thought of the person they miss makes them feel like they are in heaven. They wish for a reunion and to dance with the person they miss.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer feels heaven in the person they miss, and they can't let go of that feeling. They dream of being together and dancing in the dark, which could symbolize a deeper connection that they long for. The verse about Apollo 21 and Yuri Gagarin may be referring to the idea of space exploration and how it relates to the longing for something more.
Overall, the song seems to portray the feeling of longing for someone and the hope for a reunion. The idea of heaven being found in the person they miss adds a layer of spirituality to the song.

Saw Ash last night at the Roundhouse.Was absolutely amazing.All the classics.Crowd got them back for an encore that included one of my favourites "Burn baby burn" and Charlotte came on at the end.Yes.Have a Girl From Mars T-shirt topped off my night.Definitely see them again!
@jaymythxxxx
Difficult question. Someone you've just met says to you ''Give me ONE song that best demonstrates your taste in music''.
''Burn baby burn'' would probably be my pick.
@benhughes7892
I saw them on Thursday night in Manchester. They were absolutely amazing, despite their having aged a fair bit, they got the place bouncing proper! They didn't play this unfortunately. Ash are one of those bands who have a vast array of quality songs that they'd struggle to get into two or three set lists lol
@jmiester25
great band. cant get over how awesome they are.
@katherinewade2021
Saw them last week in Bristol and this was on their set list towards the end. People were so happy, hugging etc was so lovely !!!! Ash rock!! ❤
@a0b0
this lineup was amazing.
@DubNordy33
The Norths finest. Indie punk with swagger and confidence. Ash were much more talented
Than most of the big 90s indie bands effortlessly crafting perfect punk-pop hits that were contagious and catchy; tight and neat, with soaring solos and imaginative lyrics. I remember hearing this tune for the first time and was blown away; jumpin about to the guitar solo from heaven. Still feels the same, 30yrs later. Truly outstanding, well played Tim.
@GTiR23
Tim Wheeler, what a top guy!
@ehren.bienert6385
saw these guys open for weezer in 96 during the Pinkerton tour. Instant fan.
@BackToBackJames
Ash AND Weezer? That must have been amazing
