"A pop hydra that has become Newcastle's favourite 'band next door'...that seems to get pubs across Newcastle moving whether they want to or not. This is quality pop-funk with hints of Jamiroquai, Prince, Michael Jackson and the Neptunes" - NARC. Magazine
"this is not yer full-throttle robo-disco stuff as practiced by the likes of Girls Aloud, but the more studied, song-writer-ish pop that you’ll hear coming out of music schools, what with all their musicianship and everything. They are fronted – if you will – by a female duo who lustily belt it out and the tunes are stuffed with hooks and the odd moment which makes you think “interesting…”. What’s more, they’re not afraid of the funk and I imagine they’re pretty damn hot in the live arena" - The Crack Magazine
"A lovely serving of souped up funk rock from the Newcastle sextet, Powerful, Strong vocals and supa-dupa musicianship. One of the best live acts we've witnessed in ages." - Manifesto Magazine
"An eclectic mix of sounds from the band demonstrating their various talents on vocals, bass, guitar, drums and keyboard, which seem to blend effortlessly together" - Sandman Magazine
"Saint and The Cynics have two of the best dressed front women you're likely to see, they look like perfect soul divas...they've got spectacular voices too, which soar and quiver up and down scales harmoniously with confidence and ease...the band have some very catchy numbers...they know all the conventions and exploit them aptly to produce hooks aplenty pop songs that could probably penetrate the charts given the right vehicle. The confidence and competence of all the musicians shines through with professionalism...Saint and The Cynics would be the perfect summer festival band and are great to watch and have a dance to." - Woodencauliflower.com

Saint And The Cynics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far from me
Far from us
Last night you were in my dreams
But when I woke
I was alone
You’re going home
Home
You’re going home
Home
Home
You asked me to forget, but how could I? I don’t know
You are driving to new hope
I wish you all, all you deserve
Now I know it is my time to hit the road
I’ll find myself, I’ll meet you there
I’m going home
Home
Home
I’m going home
Home
Home
You asked me to forget, but how could I? I don’t know
Maybe in the blue sky I’ll find a way
Cause In my nights I seek to find what I don’t know
All I see is your silhouette
In my tears in my dreams oh girl
All I see is your silhouette
In my tears in my dreams oh girl
In my tears in my dreams oh girl
In my tears in my dreams oh girl
The lyrics of Saint And The Cynics's song Radio provide an insight into the loneliness and isolation felt by the singer. The opening line "Il n'why a pas grand monde ce soir" translates to "there aren't many people tonight" and sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer recounts the number of spectators in attendance and the sports program being broadcasted, highlighting the mundanity of his surroundings.
The lyrics also touch upon the feeling of detachment from one's surroundings, as the singer confuses the location of the game, mistaking it for Saint-Étienne instead of Saint-Ouen. This confusion could represent a larger sense of disorientation and alienation felt by the singer.
Overall, the song Radio provides a glimpse into the mind of someone struggling with feelings of loneliness and disconnection from their environment.
