2) On their previous tour, Disclosure arrived in Newport News, VA, 4 1/2 hours from home to learn that their show had been cancelled. Here, most bands would have called it a day, but instead they frantically called friends to search for shows via MySpace. They ended up playing for free and headlining a show in Richmond, VA. This is just one of many stories that showcase Disclosure’s dedication.
In the past 3 years they have released 3 albums, have been part of an East Coast distributed compilation, performed in 7 states, went on 2 self-booked tours, and played over 50 shows. They have an upcoming full East Coast tour scheduled for July/August 2010 and they have no plans of slowing down.
3) Side project of Crunch Pod artist C/A/T. With the Disclosure project, Ben Arp of C/A/T shifts the focus towards tense samples and hard rhythmic sequences. While C/A/T has had a more abstract sound, Disclosure presents a more sonically straight-forward approach to songwriting. “Full Disclosure” attempts to further lift the veil and reveal the hidden hand that orchestrates world events. Extremely limited run of 25 copies and available only at Crunch Pod and was only available at live C/A/T performances in Summer 2005.
CD-R version is out of print. This album was recently re-issued as a digital download direct from Crunch Pod.
4) An Alternative/Powerpop/Rock band from Faringdon, UK. Formed 5 years ago Disclosure have earnt their reputation as one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the Swindon area through relentless gigging, energetic shows and great sounds. Performing on stage with the likes of Young Guns and The Rileys, Disclosure have played at many of the biggest and most respected venues and festivals in and around Oxfordshire. Now signed with New Vision Records and having recently released their latest EP at the o2 academy2 Islington, Disclosure have never sounded so focussed and relevant and this year will be hitting venues around the UK.

January
Disclosure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause here I am on my own free will
Fortune favors the brave, so they say
I might as well fix something, play your game
Make a memory the reason
Remembering the time when you and I felt the high
I've found a way to justify
And we cannot regret
The esthetical feel
We had our brighter day
Was it synthetic or real
I protect the memory
If baby you can't recall it
You can't recall that
20 second January
If baby you can't recall it
I won't forget that
I protect the memory
If baby you can't recall it
You can't recall that
20 second January
If baby you can't recall it
I won't forget that
Was it just as real as you expected
'Cause looking back gives you a chill
Show me something you prefer today
Yea yea
Or maybe you're grown up and down to say
Or maybe you're a kind that tells a lie just to lie
We never have to say goodbye
And we cannot regret
The esthetical feel
We had our brighter day
Was it synthetic or real, yeah
Put in faith in your relief
I'll suspend your disbelief
Put in faith in your relief
I'll suspend your disbelief
Put in faith in your relief
I'll suspend your disbelief
Put in faith in your relief
I'll suspend your disbelief
I protect the memory
If baby you can't recall it
You can't recall that
20 second January
If baby you can't recall it
I won't forget that
I protect the memory
If baby you can't recall it
You can't recall that
20 second January
If baby you can't recall it
I won't forget that
I protect the memory
If baby you can't recall it
You can't recall that
20 second January
If baby you can't recall it
I won't forget that
The lyrics of "January" by Disclosure revolve around the idea of preserving a memory that was shared between two people. It's a story of wanting to hold on to a moment in time that has passed and protecting the memory of that time even when the other person cannot remember it. The singer is asking the other person if the memory they shared was as real to them as it was to him, and it's clear that the memory is something that means a lot to the singer. The song seems to be about nostalgia and the power of memories to shape our feelings about the past.
In the first verse, the singer is asking what he should expect now that he's alone. He knows that fortune favors the brave, but he also recognizes that he might need to play a game to make something work. The memory of the time he shared with the other person is what's driving him to keep going. The esthetical feel of that memory is something that the singer can't forget, and he asks if it was synthetic or real. He's willing to put his faith in the other person and to suspend disbelief to keep the memory alive.
Overall, "January" is a heartfelt song about the importance of holding onto memories, even when they're difficult or painful. The song's nostalgic vibe and introspective lyrics make it a powerful reflection on the human experience.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell me just what I should be expecting
I want you to be honest with me about what to expect from this situation
'Cause here I am on my own free will
I am here by choice, of my own volition
Fortune favors the brave, so they say
Taking risks can often be rewarded with good fortune
I might as well fix something, play your game
I might as well try to improve this situation, do what you want me to do
Make a memory the reason
Let's create a memory together as the purpose of being here
Remembering the time when you and I felt the high
Thinking back to the time when we felt really happy and excited
I've found a way to justify
I've come up with a good reason to make sense of this situation
And we cannot regret
We shouldn't have any regrets about what happened
The esthetical feel
The beautiful, pleasing and enjoyable sensation or experience
We had our brighter day
We experienced a happier time together
Was it synthetic or real
Was the happiness and enjoyment we experienced fake or genuine?
I protect the memory
I will cherish and preserve that happy memory
If baby you can't recall it
If you don't remember it
You can't recall that
You can't remember that happy moment we shared
20 second January
That specific day when we were happy together to create that memory
I won't forget that
I will never forget that special moment
Was it just as real as you expected
Did that experience feel as real and genuine as you thought it would?
'Cause looking back gives you a chill
Looking back on that experience makes you feel uneasy or uncomfortable
Show me something you prefer today
Tell me what you would rather be doing instead of reflecting on this past experience
Or maybe you're grown up and down to say
Maybe you've matured and are willing to admit
That amnesia gave you freedom
That forgetting about the past experience has given you a sense of liberation
Or maybe you're a kind that tells a lie just to lie
Or maybe you're someone who lies for the sake of lying
We never have to say goodbye
We can always hold onto this past happiness and relive it in our memories
Put in faith in your relief
Put your trust in finding relief from this uneasy feeling
I'll suspend your disbelief
I'll help you believe that things will get better and you will find relief
I protect the memory
I will cherish and preserve that happy memory
