The band’s key member is guitarist/singer/composer Kevin Shields, a reclusive perfectionist and radically inventive guitarist/engineer. The band’s other original member is drummer/studio maven Colm Ó Cíosóig; during their heyday MBV also included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe. Their band shares its name with a low-budget Canadian slasher film.
MBV influences include The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, late-1970s Wire, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and independent artists such as The Pastels. Kevin Shields has also named The Beach Boys and The Ramones as a personal influence.
After leaving Creation Records in 1992 and signing with Island Records, the band fell into a creative black hole. Rumors spread among their fans of albums being recorded and then shelved. Debbie Googe left the band to form Snowpony; she had not played bass on their recordings since You Made Me Realise. Colm Ó Cíosóig eventually left and formed a band with Hope Sandoval, formerly of Mazzy Star, called Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions. Kevin Shields sporadically collaborated with other artists, most notably Experimental Audio Research, Curve, and Primal Scream. He revealed in a fall 2003 National Public Radio interview that Island Records quit financing his My Bloody Valentine endeavors after he spent half a million pounds of their money.
As of 2006, many rumors mentioned the possible reformation of MBV for a new studio album, but none of these were true. On November 15 2007, My Bloody Valentine announced three upcoming live gigs in the UK for 2008. On June 13 and 14, the band played in public for the first time in thirteen years, offering a pair of "Live Rehearsal" presentations at the ICA in London and officially starting their series of comeback performances. The band went on to play a slew of festivals in Summer and Fall of 2008. Following their appearance at the 2008 All Tomorrow's Parties festival, the New York Times reported that Shields was planning to complete the unfinished album.
On 2 February 2013 they self-released the self-titled album m b v as a download with both vinyl and CD copies shipping on 22nd Feb 2013. The Huffington Post reported that it caused such a public stir that the official MBV website crashed when fans attempted to access the site to purchase a copy.

My Bloody Valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder how that you find out
I wonder how that you find out
You could be the one for me
You couldn't lie that it's not for
You couldn't now that is over
You come back and see I welcome
You wonder how that you find out
The lyrics to My Bloody Valentine's song "She Found Now" are open to interpretation, but it appears to be a song about a relationship that ended but the love interest has returned. The singer wants this person back but is unsure how they found out about their whereabouts. The repetition of "I wonder how that you find out" adds to the feeling of uncertainty and intrigue. The line "You could be the one for me" highlights the hope the singer has for their connection with the love interest.
Line by Line Meaning
You come back and you I want you
You have returned and I yearn for your presence
I wonder how that you find out
I am curious about how you became aware
I wonder how that you find out
I am curious about how you became aware
You could be the one for me
There is a possibility that you are my soulmate
You couldn't lie that it's not for
You are incapable of denying our connection
You couldn't now that is over
You cannot deny that the relationship has ended
You come back and see I welcome
Your return is greeted with open arms
I wonder how that you find out
I am curious about how you became aware
You wonder how that you find out
You are curious about how you became aware

words from a good friend: "If My Bloody Valentine can pull an album like this off after all this time, that is a great sign for all of us. I think putting this music into the world again now is nothing short of a humanitarian effort. You, too, are able to resurrect or explore or maintain or expand or re-introduce the very best of what you had, your opus can be present again. The essence is still there."

One of their best songs. An incredible grower of a track. It seems meandering at first, but after a long while you realise how tightly constructed it is.

Ryan Denziloe a definite shoegaze classic to me
