Astrid
Astrid are a guitar-pop band from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
A brief history of astrid
Find yourself on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides and you’ll find the deep roots of a band called astrid. It started in 1990 when an 11-year-old boy called Willie Campbell met a 10-year-old boy called Charlie Clark and they bonded over a shared fanaticism of comic books, movies and music. Soon after, the pair began to experiment with playing various instruments in barns, garages and sheds throughout the island; their only audience the flora, fauna and possibly livestock of the Isle of Lewis.
6 years later Willie & Charlie found themselves in Glasgow with a rhythm section who shared their love of 60s garage, psychedelic pop and tight harmonies. In the beginning the boys of astrid spent their days writing songs and working flower stalls. At night they donned their finest charity shop threads to play astrid’s complete catalogue of seven songs at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut and Nice & Sleazy’s. Stop by the Halt Bar on Woodlands Rd any Saturday afternoon and the boys of astrid could likely be found playing the open stage or spending their giros at the bar, even more likely, doing both. It was here Stevie Jackson from Belle & Sebastian heard astrid and asked the boys along for the first UK Belle & Sebastian tour. astrid accepted; their audience was quickly becoming their fans.
Fantastic Plastic
It was on this tour after a show at The Union Chapel in London that the boys of astrid met managers and founders of Fantastic Plastic Records, Darrin and Julie Robson. astrid signed to Fantastic Plastic in 1998 and all was right with the world.
Strange Weather Lately
Produced by Scottish Indie legend Edwyn Collins, astrid’s debut album, ‘Strange Weather Lately’ would go on to sell 10,000 copies and solidify astrid as 1999’s darlings of radio as they garnered support from the likes of John Peel, Steve Lamacq and Mark and Lard. The aforementioned setting in motion tours and shows in 2000 with acts from The Go-Betweens, Ben Lee and Sean Lennon to Lou Barlow, The Pernice Brothers and fellow indie circuit players, Snow Patrol.
Section On!
In 2001 Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody asked astrid to join and ultimately become the core band for his Scottish indie supergroup, The Reindeer Section. Among others, the ambitious project included members of Arab Strap, Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub, The Vaselines and Idlewild. Spanning a three year period, The Section went on to release two albums and toured frequently, including a rather memorable trip to Japan for Summer Sonic 2003.
astrid released nine singles, three albums and three EPs before disbanding in 2004.
Recent History
Willie and Charlie remained friends throughout the years. They still shared a fanaticism of comic books, movies and music and never lost their mutual love of 60’s pop, psychedelia and tight harmonies, but they stopped making music together. Willie made his home and family in Lewis while Charlie did the same in Los Angeles.
In July 2015, Willie Campbell and Charlie Clark met on the Isle of Lewis and took a stroll along the beach in Gress, the two men fell into a chat about the idea of writing a few songs together. Four months later the pair found themselves in a studio in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles recording the fourth astrid album ‘Fall, Stand, Dance’.
The Storm Session EP was released in 2020 on Wee Studio Records
January 21st 2022 will see the release of ‘Through the Darkness of Your Life’ & ‘Opposites Meet’ which was an old song of Willie’s for Astrid but never recorded, about post Strange Weather Lately era. It’s coming out on NO BIG DEAL MUSIC on a limited run of 300 7” single.

Astrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing ever felt so right
I could get lost, you're all that I want
I need you here, by my side
You're running through my body
I feel it inside my bones
Don't know what's happenin'
You got me trippin', I don't wanna be alone
So where you at, where you at? Yeah
World slows down, I've lost my ground, oh
So, where you at, where you at?
Two in the morning, I can't control it
Lost in the moment, I just can't get no sleep, eh
Two in the morning, everything's frozen
I keep on falling and I just can't get no sleep
Cold, the sky's getting cloudy
My eyes start raining
Makin' a river as it grows bigger
It's pulling me away downstream
Now the water is risin', my head's going under
Drowning my thoughts, turning 'em off
And I just wonder
Where you at? Please take me back, oh
It's killing me (killing me)
It's killing me (killing me)
World slows down, I've lost my ground, oh
It's killing me, killing me
Two in the morning, I can't control it
Lost in the moment, I just can't get no sleep, eh
Two in the morning, everything's frozen
I keep on falling and I just can't get no sleep (no sleep)
Two in the, two in the, two in the morning
Two in the, two in the morning
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia, insomnia
I can't get no sleep
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia, insomnia
I can't get no sleep (no sleep)
Two in the morning, I can't control it
Lost in the moment, I just can't get no sleep
Two in the morning, everything's frozen
I keep on falling and I just can't get no sleep
Two in the morning, I can't control it
Lost in the moment, I just can't get no sleep, eh
Two in the morning, everything's frozen
I keep on falling and I just can't get no sleep
Two in the, two in the, two in the morning
Two in the, two in the, two in the, two in the
Two in the, two in the, two in the, two in the
Two in the, two in the, two in the, two in the
The song "2 AM" by Astrid S is an emotional ballad that tells a story of a person who is desperately missing someone they love. The first verse begins with the singer feeling the cold running through their body, but they note that nothing has ever felt so right. They want to get lost, and the only thing that can make them feel better is to have the person they love by their side. The chorus expresses the singer's frustration and inability to sleep, with the repeated refrain of "two in the morning." They feel like they've lost control and they're falling, but everything around them is frozen.
The second verse takes a darker turn, with the added element of rain and water. The singer's eyes are raining, and the water starts to grow into a river that pulls them under. In this moment of drowning, the singer wonders where their love is and pleads for them to take them back. The chorus repeats the same sentiments from the first chorus, emphasizing the singer's insomnia and the frozen world around them. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "two in the morning" as a reminder of the singer's loneliness and despair.
Overall, "2 AM" is a powerful song about heartbreak and the difficulty of coping with it. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery that effectively convey the singer's emotional state, and Astrid S's vocal performance is both vulnerable and powerful.
