2. Cody (UK)
An Oxford (UK) based 4-piece, Cody originally formed in 1996 to play a strange mid-fi mix of synthpop, post-punk and indie rock that gained them a single on local label Shifty Disco. "Simple", released in August 1997, was an 8-minute droning partly-spoken epic that gained gushing reviews and comparisons to Stereolab, Cabaret Voltaire and Arab Strap. The band were hotly-hyped around the time of BBC Radio 1's 1997 "Sound City" week in Oxford, but their awkward and uncertain live shows (where the band had slides projected over them rather than engage with the audience), together with a move towards more electronic, programmed sounds, seemed to confuse their media supporters. The hype moved elsewhere.
By the time the band released their 2000 debut album "Stillpoint Primer" on the Shinkansen label, they had moved towards an eclectic mix of shoegazing, Daft Punk rhythms, post-rock electronica, and jangling indie-pop, with lyrical themes that ranged from the overtly political to the opaquely arcane. "My Bloody Valentine meets Tortoise" was a typical reaction.
Cody were now recording their music at home and mailing their contributions to one another, which made it less of an issue when the members began to leave Oxford (and, in one case, leave the UK altogether). But this made promotion of their second album, 2002's "Distance Learning", somewhat difficult. The album was their best work - with more confident and memorable songs, and complex arrangements sometimes reminiscent of New Order, Boards Of Canada and Steely Dan (!). Its lack of success eventually led to Cody calling it a day in early 2004 when recordings for a proposed third album began to fizzle out. A sad end for a band who found it hard to fit in in their day, but whose shoetronic sound has many contemporary echoes.
Cody recordings available on demand on the "albums" page:
Simple / Dark Blue / Anticyclone / Rounder / Uplift (singles and EPs)
Stillpoint Primer / Distance Learning (full albums)
Any other albums or songs are by the other Codys. . .

4. Cody (Manchester, UK)
Formed in Manchester in 2004 (and now disbanded), Cody were a record store sales assistant, a student, a writer, a chainsaw expert and a former DJ. In a smoky room in a dark satanic mill, they carved out a sound that was compared to Elbow, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Mogwai, Sonic Youth and Oceansize. They gigged around Manchester for a few years before deciding to part ways.
A previous incarnation of the band was When Animals Attack.
The Light
CODY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An i hope the universe is listening in
You gotta love yourself
And then love everyone
Like you love yourself
You ’re a star
I’ve been dreaming of this moment
For my whole life
I’ve been clapping with both hands
Keeping this dream alive
And we open our eyes and sing
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could
Love one another
Love one another one
Each one teaches love to one another one
Love one another
Love one another one
Reach out and touch my hand
And together well build a constellation
Of sky lights
We’ll be the sky lights
Sky lights
I got a wish that i wanna share with you
And my wish is that this wish ell’ come true
In this world full a color
We just stop the madness
And love one another
I’ve been dreaming of this moment
For my whole life
Life can be so beautiful
Close your eyes and imagine that
Love is everything
Then open your eyes and sing
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could
Love one another
Love one another one
Each one teaches love to one another one
Love one another
Love one another one
Reach out and touch my hand
And together well build a constellation
Of sky lights
We’ll be the sky lights
Sky lights
Whoa oh ohhh
Anything is possible tonight
Whoa oh ohhh
Under the sky lights
Whoa oh ohhh
Sky lights
Whoa oh ohhh
Anything is possible tonight
The song "The Light" by Cody talks about how love can conquer any darkness and overcome obstacles. The song highlights the power of love and how it can keep the fire alive even when the night is darkest and the world is heartless. The song is uplifting and inspiring and encourages the listener to see the light in every situation.
The lyrics mention how the love between two people can be strong enough to shine even when the stars go out. The love will never touch the ground and will continue to shine even when things get tough. The singer promises to keep the fire alive and nurture the love between them, so they can own the night with their sparks.
The second verse talks about how sometimes when we grow older, our hearts can grow colder, and we lose the spark that once ignited our souls. The singer promises to breathe flames into the other person's lungs and keep the fire alive. The song talks about the resilience of love and how it can keep shining even in the darkest of times.
Overall, "The Light" is a beautiful song that highlights the power of love and its ability to overcome any obstacle. It is a reminder that no matter how dark things get, there is always a light to guide us through.
Line by Line Meaning
When the world is heartless
When the world seems cruel and unfeeling
When the night is darkest
When everything feels hopeless and bleak
When the fight is hardest
When you are facing the greatest challenges
This love will go the farthest
This love will endure through the toughest times
'Cause I'll keep this fire alive
Because I will keep our love burning
Our sparks will own the night
Our passion will shine and conquer the darkness
I'll keep you by my side
I will always be there for you
When the stars the go out
Even when everything seems to be falling apart
'Cause we're feeling so hot right now
Because our love is so strong and intense
This love will never touch the ground
Our love will never fade away or lose its magic
We'll be shining when the lights go down (down, down)
We will continue to shine and thrive even in dark times
When your soul is older
When you feel weary and jaded with life
And your heart grows colder
And you find it hard to love and feel again
If it doesn't feel like it did when you were young
If your love seems to have lost its spark and excitement
I'll breathe the flames into your lungs
I will reignite your passion and love
We'll be burning when the stars go out
We will continue to love and shine brightly even when things around us fall apart
(Woo-hoo)
When the stars go (uh)
When the stars disappear or fade away
Shining when the lights go down
Thriving and shining even in the darkest moments
