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.

Disclosure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I see through the façade
See the queen behind the guard
Gently, you mask the fact that you disagree
Dealt a hand without your card
Had the joker from the start
You're yearning, wearing thin
I know what you're hiding but they can't see what you've got
What you've got, baby, what you've got, baby
Quit crying and stop trying to be someone you're not
What you're not baby, what you're not baby
Maybe you can't see
Oh, you're the masterpiece
In time, you'll see the colours through your own eyes
You could take the perfect shot
Show the people what you've got
A far cry from insecurity and demise
When your tears come to a stop
You can look down from the top
You're yearning, wearing thin
Searching for something
I know what you're hiding but they can't see what you've got
What you've got, baby, what you've got, baby
Quit crying and stop trying to be someone you're not
What you're not baby, what you're not baby
Maybe you can't see
Oh you're the masterpiece
What you got, baby
"Masterpiece" by Disclosure feat. Jordan Rakei talks about a person who is holding back their true self and hiding behind a façade. Despite trying to mask their disagreements and insecurities, the person pushing them down wore them thin. The song goes on to illustrate that the person is actually a masterpiece in disguise and that in time, they will see the colors through their own eyes and be able to showcase their true self.
The lyrics, "See the queen behind the guard" suggest that the person is hiding behind a facade and not allowing anyone to see their true self. The verse, "Had the joker from the start", implies that the person's perspective or place in society has been pre-determined and that they have not had much control over their life. The chorus, "I know what you're hiding but they can't see what you've got", the singer is saying that they are aware of the person's struggles but no one else can see the person's true potential.
The song conveys a message of hope and encouragement to those who are experiencing insecurity and self-doubt. It encourages them to embrace their unique qualities and to take ownership of their lives, rather than living behind a façade. And, ultimately, to showcase the art they possess within themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Lately, you hold your tongue and don't make a scene
Recently, you are keeping quiet and avoiding controversy
But I see through the façade
However, I can tell that it is not the real you
See the queen behind the guard
Behind the exterior, there is someone of regal importance
Gently, you mask the fact that you disagree
You are softly concealing the fact that you have a different opinion
Dealt a hand without your card
You were given a disadvantage
Had the joker from the start
From the beginning, you had to deal with an unpredictable element
You're yearning, wearing thin
You are longing for something but starting to lose hope
Searching for something
You are desperately seeking something
I know what you're hiding but they can't see what you've got
I understand what you're hiding, but others do not see your true potential
What you've got, baby, what you've got, baby
You possess something special, my dear
Quit crying and stop trying to be someone you're not
Stop pretending and trying to be someone other than yourself
What you're not baby, what you're not baby
You do not need to pretend to be anything other than yourself
Maybe you can't see
Perhaps you are unable to realize
Oh, you're the masterpiece
You are a true work of art
In time, you'll see the colours through your own eyes
Eventually, you will see the spectrum of life through your unique perspective
You could take the perfect shot
You have the potential to take a picture-perfect opportunity
Show the people what you've got
Display your talents to those around you
A far cry from insecurity and demise
You are a long way from feeling insecure or defeated
When your tears come to a stop
Once you have stopped crying
You can look down from the top
You will be able to look back on your triumph
