1) A rock band from Staffordshire, UK:
Following the demise of Brighouse' previous bands Ortega and In Colour the songwriter set about a new project; one based around the staple influences that first drove him towards the guitar all those years ago. Realising the 'timeless' qualities present in so many of his favourite records Brighouse picked up a well worn guitar and began writing. After drafting a three song 'demo' he enlisted friend and lyricist Sam Johnson to help supply vocal accompaniment and complete the tracks. Pleased with how the demo came together Brighouse took to writing further tracks; songs which would eventually make up the bands' debut.
Blame is the product of a sleepy suburban town and its ability to drive residents indoors on rainy days. Inspired by both the music of their youth and the music they favour today Brighouse and Johnson set about to create the type of songs that they themselves enjoy listening to. Blame consider themselves "frontier men" pioneering for the soul of rock & roll.

Blame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spin around spin around 360
I look around my whole worlds empty
gather round gather round come quickly
I still cant see no one around me
I spin around spin around 360
I look around my whole worlds empty
Gather round gather round come quickly
In the summertime Im cold
Im standing on my own
Im screaming down the phone
Im hearing dialing tones, wont you listen to me
In the summertime I'm cold
Standing on my own
Im out here standing on my own
Tinchy Stryder & Alex Mills:
Im speaking out so hear me out
Im standing on my own
Nobodys reaching out I'm freaking out
If you hear me let me know
Im speaking out so hear me out
Im standing on my own
Can you hear me shouting out
Im out here standing on my own
Fuda Guy:
Yo, Im trying to make up for the time thats gone
Have I wasted time have I took too long
Somethings not right have I put a foot wrong
Explain to me whats going on
Cos I, used to have friends oh so close
Cracks in my friendship left mine broke
This aint an emotion I wanna show
But its hard when your standing alone
I think Im in need of a healing touch
Ive got faith that Ive still got luck
But positive vibes just wont stay stuck
For me this is all too much
Alex Mills:
In the summertime Im cold
Im standing on my own
Im screaming down the phone
Standing on my own
Im out here standing on my own
Tinchy Stryder & Alex Mills:
Im speaking out so hear me out
Im standing on my own
Nobodys reaching out I'm freaking out
If you hear me let me know
Im speaking out so hear me out

Can you hear me shouting out
Im out here standing on my own
Tinchy Stryder:
Yo, Im trying to make up for the days Ive missed
Open my eyes not close my lids
Tell me this here's one of them tricks
Didnt even get no goodbye kiss
Nah this is way too weird
Cos before i had no fear
Everything was cool at first
Now I'm shaking way too scared
Nah don't leave me here
My heartbeats racing feed me air
Back is hurting they left no chair
Alex Mills:
In the summertime Im cold
Im standing on my own
Im screaming down the phone
Im hearing dialing tones, wont you listen to me
In the summertime Im cold
standing on my own
Im out here standing on my own

The lyrics of Blame's song On My Own speak of feelings of loneliness and isolation, as the singers express their frustration with being left to stand alone. Tinchy Stryder opens the song with a call to attention, spinning around for a full 360 degrees but finding no one around him. Alex Mills then takes over, singing about feeling cold and alone even in the summertime, and desperately reaching out for someone to listen to her. Fuda Guy contributes a verse about the difficulties of maintaining friendships and the pain of feeling alone, emphasizing the need for healing and positivity. As the song progresses, Tinchy Stryder's verse hints at a sense of betrayal and confusion, and Alex Mills continues to express her desperation to be heard and understood.
Overall, the song seems to capture a sense of disconnection and frustration with the world around us, as the singers struggle to find their place and connect with others. The repetition of the line "I'm standing on my own" throughout the song serves to emphasize this feeling of isolation and to reinforce the theme of the song. Despite the bleakness of the lyrics, however, the song also offers a sense of hope and resilience, as the singers continue to speak out and try to find their way forward.
