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 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.

Thinking About You
Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm filled with the sweetest pain
A constant aching in my soul
That just won't go away
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
In the quiet hours before the dawn
Talking quietly in the hall
Windows open on the streets below
As a light rain started to fall
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
After a night beside you
A night alone is cold and barren as before
A constant craving
Persistent rain
Incessant longing all through the day
In the soft half light of dawn
Feel the closeness of every breath
See your body outlined
Your form
Your silhouette
I haven't seen you since this morning
Still everywhere you remain
Thoughts of you on my mind
All through the rainsoaked night
I'm Thinking about you
Thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
The lyrics of Ash's song "Thinking About You" paint an image of a longing and pining for a significant other who is not present physically. The first line of the song, "I haven't seen you since this morning," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is missing their significant other, and this absence is causing them pain. The "sweetest pain" they feel is a constant ache in their soul that they cannot shake. The use of oxymorons conveys the complexity of their emotions - they are hurting, but the pain is still sweet.
Throughout the song, we see how the presence of the significant other affects the singer. Their longing and craving for the other person is mentioned several times. The lyrics "After a night beside you, a night alone is cold and barren as before" convey the emptiness that is felt after spending time with someone they love when they are no longer around. It is as if the love they shared disappears as soon as it is out of sight, and they need it back to feel whole again.
The chorus of "I'm thinking about you" serves as a refrain, reminding the listener that the singer cannot shake the thoughts of their significant other. They are constantly on their mind, whether it is in the quiet hours before dawn or through the rain-soaked night. The use of sensory details - talking quietly in the hall, feeling the closeness of every breath, seeing their body outline - add to the feeling of longing and missing someone deeply.

Still everywhere you remain
Even though you are not physically present, your influence and presence can still be felt
Thoughts of you on my mind
My mind is preoccupied with thoughts of you
All through the rainsoaked night
Even while hearing the sound of rain all night long, my thoughts remained focused on you
