Kosheen achieved international success with their debut single Hide U, which reached #6 in UK official chart. Their debut album "Resist" (released in 2001), a powerful mixture of drum'n'bass, trip-hop, chillout, hip-hop-inspired beats and traditional singer-songwriter production, was warmly accepted by both critics and audience and later went "platinum" in the UK.
With their second LP "Kokopelli", Kosheen changed their music style and turned to more rock-oriented tunes mixed with electronica & trip-hop. The first single from the album, "All In My Head", became a huge hit, reached #7 in UK chart and the album went "gold".
Kosheen are also known for their classy gigs, gathering thousands of people from all over the world. The band's live sound is slighty different from their studio production. They have just finished a successful UK tour and are performing throughout Europe to December 07. Live they are augmented by Mitch Glover on live drums and Gary Eccles on keys (on session)
Sian was involved in some side projects, including collaborations with Bent (tracks "I Can’t Believe It’s Over" and "Sunday Boy" on Bent’s cd "Ariels") and Cajun jazz band Root Doctors. Her vocals can also be heard on Decoder’s composition “Defenseless” (off his “Dissection” album), recorded before Kosheen was formed.
The band's third album "Damage" was released in the UK on Moksha on 10th September 2007. Damage is a mixture of inspirations from electronic influence from "Resist" and guitar tunes from "Kokopelli". The sound of "Damage" mixes elements of dark electro, synthpop, downtempo, vocal, electronica.
Kosheen has announced a new release for February 2012 called: Independence. Samples & full versions of tracks (Waste, Belladonna) appearing on this can be found @ Soundcloud.

Same Ground Again
Kosheen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It all starts happening
Crazy though it is to let it begin
Is the love we have the only sin?
I felt like we should let it go
But I can't live without you, though
Why can't we talk, when I thought we were friends?
How did we get this far in?
We keep going over the same ground again
Go back to the beginning again
If we keep wasting time love will die in the end
All this shit is making us thin
'cause we keep going over the same ground again
The same ground again
The moon is nearly going down
Sun is nearly rising
See the quiet in your eyes
Is the anger now subsiding?
Is it that you are satisfied?
I never lied, what did I have to hide?
How did we get here again?
Why can't we talk, when I thought we were friends?
How did we get this far in
We keep going over the same ground again
Go back to the beginning again
If we keep wasting time love will die in the end
All this shit is making us thin
'cause we keep going over the same ground again
The same ground again
The lyrics to Kosheen's Same Ground Again are a reflection on a relationship that is going through a rough patch. The singer is reflecting on the cycle of arguments and reconciliations that keep occurring every time they spend extended periods together. The singer wonders if the love they have is the only sin they're committing by continuously going through this same cycle of ups and downs. They're torn between wanting to let go of the relationship and not being able to live without their partner.
The song touches on the pain of not being able to communicate with someone you thought was your friend, and the frustration of going over the same ground again and again. The moon nearly going down and the sun nearly rising suggests that the argument went on throughout the night, with the quiet in the eyes indicating the end of the conflict. The singer questions the reason for the argument, wondering what they had to hide that led to the dispute. The chorus emphasizes the importance of resolving the issues and not wasting time, as the love will eventually die out if the same ground is covered repeatedly.
Line by Line Meaning
Every time we get two weeks in
Every time we spend time together and get comfortable with each other
It all starts happening
Our problems start to arise
Crazy though it is to let it begin
Even though we know it's not going to end well, we continue anyway
Is the love we have the only sin?
Is the fact that we continue to stay together even though it's not healthy, our only mistake?
I felt like we should let it go
I knew we should break up, but I couldn't bring myself to do it
But I can't live without you, though
Even though our relationship is unhealthy, I can't imagine my life without you
How did we get here again?
How did we end up having the same problems and arguments once again?
Why can't we talk, when I thought we were friends?
Why are we unable to have a civil conversation, especially since we were once friends?
How did we get this far in?
How did we allow our relationship to get to this point of constant arguing and unhappiness?
We keep going over the same ground again
We keep having the same issues and arguments without making any progress or changes
Go back to the beginning again
We need to start from scratch and build a healthier relationship
If we keep wasting time love will die in the end
If we continue to stay together without fixing our problems, our love for each other will eventually fade
All this shit is making us thin
All the constant arguing is wearing us down and causing us to lose weight
'cause we keep going over the same ground again
Because we can't seem to break out of this cycle of unresolved issues and arguments
The moon is nearly going down
The nighttime is coming to an end
Sun is nearly rising
The daytime is about to begin
See the quiet in your eyes
I can see that you're starting to calm down
Is the anger now subsiding?
Is your anger beginning to fade?
Is it that you are satisfied?
Are you now content with our relationship?
I never lied, what did I have to hide?
I have always been honest with you, so why can't we work through our issues and have a healthy relationship?
