For the 2004 album No Roots, Faithless were joined by rapper/vocalist LSK.
Rollo's studio relationship is quite unique as he has synesthesia [a clinical condition where sounds have colour] . He also acted as producer for the second half of his sister Dido's debut album, No Angel.
Dido has been a guest singer on a number of Faithless tracks, including "Flowerstand Man" from the 1995 debut album Reverence, "Hem of his Garment" from Sunday 8PM, "One Step Too Far" from Outrospective and "No Roots" from the album of the same name.
Faithless have now released 5 studio albums, with a remix album for the first three (Reverence, Sunday 8pm and Outrospective) and an instrumental for the last (No Roots), plus a Greatest Hits collection (Forever Faithless) and 2 DVDS, one of which showcased their universally acclaimed live performances. Their most mature album and arguably their best is the latest album 'To All New Arrivals' released on 27th November 2006, the album name being inspired by the recent birth of two babies to Rollo and Sister Bliss.
Part of one of their tracks featured on the 'Greatest Hits' album (Taruntula) was remixed by the BBC and used as the theme for their World Cup coverage in 2002.
It was reported that Faithless were to split up after their 2005 tour, which was due to end on 30 April 2005. Speculation started after Rollo wrote "We set out thinking it would be our last album, feeling maybe we have had our time in the sun". Fortunately, this was not meant to be. A fresh clutch of tour dates prolonged the tour until December 2005.
In 2006 the band made several summer festival appearances, including the V Festival in England.
In August of 2006, Faithless released a 3 CD compilation for the Renaissance series titled, "Renaissance 3D". The first CD contains a mix of then current club hits, the second CD is a collection of Faithless remixes and productions, and the third CD is a laid back chill out CD.
On the 27th of November 2006, Faithless released its fifth studio album titled "To All New Arrivals". Previews of the tracks were made available via the Faithless website in early October.
Their 'Music Matters' tour in the UK started in early 2007.
In May 2010, Faithless released "The Dance", their best selling album to date in Europe. The album has been followed a few months later by an upgrade, including a remix bonus CD, "The Dance Never Ends".
On March 16th 2011, Maxi Jazz announced on his website that Faithless would cease to be, commenting "But, like when writing a song, you always just ‘know’ when it’s finished… this is and was the “Thank YOU And Goodbye’ tour".
My Life
Faithless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I lay my hat may not be my home, but I will last on my own
'Cause it's me, and my life, it's my life, it's my life
Oh the world has sat in the palm of my hand not that you'd see
And I'm tired and bored of waiting for you and all those things you never do
The lyrics of Faithless's song "My Life" are a statement of personal autonomy and independence. The artist is clarifying that they make choices solely for themselves, and their actions do not require the approval of others. They suggest that their transient lifestyle may not be the most conventional or comfortable, but they are content to exist on their terms. The artist further asserts that they have had significant opportunities presented to them but have not received recognition. They continue to wait for someone or something but eventually decide that they will take control of their life as it is their personal responsibility.
This song's empowering message resonates with individuals who prioritize individuality and seek meaningful connections with their life, free from the influence of external pressures or opinions. It portrays a message of self-reliance, self-acceptance, and perseverance through difficult times. Faithless, an English electronic band formed in 1995, brings their unique sound to this song. They deliver a message through their music, one that echoes real issues in society.
Line by Line Meaning
What I choose to do is of no concern to you and your friends
I am free to make my own choices without needing or considering your input or that of your associates
Where I lay my hat may not be my home, but I will last on my own
I may not have a permanent residence, but I am independent and self-sufficient
'Cause it's me, and my life, it's my life, it's my life
The decisions I make and the way I lead my life are solely mine and not subject to approval from others
Oh the world has sat in the palm of my hand not that you'd see
Despite my accomplishments and successes, you are not able to recognize or appreciate them
And I'm tired and bored of waiting for you and all those things you never do
I have grown weary and fed up with waiting for your promises and plans to materialize

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's a natural grace
Of watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's in the world I become
Content in the hum
Between voice and drum
It's in change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
For tonight
God is a DJ
For tonight
God is a DJ
This is my church
