Consisting of Brian James, Mik McKeogh, Dar Grant and Greg McCarthy, the band formed in 2008.
A shared love of epic, distorted guitars, blistering harmonius pop, art rock and electronica led to the band spending the best part of two years holed up in a disused office space in deepest North County Dublin, writing, rehearsing and at times venturing out to play as special guests for Franz Ferdinand, Passion Pit, The Maccabees, Local Natives amongst other.
More recently they have just recorded and finished their debut album with acclaimed producer Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths) which will be released on June 4th (Model Citizen via PIAS).

I Still love the high
Funeral Suits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cast a lover who
Holds up high our hearts
Don't go charging
And don't look to the sides
I still love the high
I still love the high
Hands down by my side
Tape my
Hands down by my side
I still love the high
I still love the high
I still love the high
In Funeral Suits' song "I Still Love the High," the lyrics seem to explore the feeling of exhilaration and the high that one feels in certain moments. The opening line "Arms rip sky apart" suggests a sense of power and potential. The following line "Cast a lover who holds up high our hearts" could be interpreted as a reference to the intense feelings of love and devotion that can come with these moments of intensity.
The lines "Don't go charging / And don't look to the sides" could be seen as a cautionary note, encouraging the listener to stay focused on the moment and the high they are experiencing. The repetition of the phrase "I still love the high" throughout the song seems to reinforce the idea that despite any potential drawbacks or dangers that come with these intense moments, our love for them remains unshaken.
The lines "Keep my hands down by my side / Tape my hands down by my side" could be interpreted in a few different ways. They could be seen as a suggestion to stay grounded and not let oneself get carried away in the moment. Alternatively, they could also be interpreted as a reference to the notion of being tied down or controlled, suggesting that even when we try to resist the pull of these intense moments, we still find ourselves drawn to them.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Still Love the High" seem to capture the contradictory nature of these intense moments of euphoria and the way in which we are both drawn to and cautious about them.
