The band split in December 2003, but not before a farewell tour which culminated in a final hometown show. The split was amicable and came about due to disagreements with their record company about their musical direction.
In 2005, they released a posthumous collection of demos for what would have been their fifth studio album. whilst the band members themselves began their own separate projects, including frontman Rick Witter, who went on to form Rick Witter and The Dukes .
However, in 2007 the band reunited for what was to become a sell out tour of the UK, and their most successful to date. The re-formed line up included all of the original members, including both of their former guitarists, Joe Johnson and Paul Banks. Although the 2007 tour was intended as a one-off reunion, the band remained together and were seen performing at several UK festivals during the summer of 2008. It was announced in mid-2009, shortly before a one-off headlining performance at the Tartan Heart Festival, that the band would again undergo a tour during December 2009 - they also revealed that they had been working on new songs, though none of these were played during the 2009 tour. The band classed their 18 date 2009 tour as 'their most successful and enjoyable so far'.
The band have announced a number of high profile summer festival appearances for 2010 including V Festival, T In The Park and Oxegen.

Getting Better
Shed Seven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're shining brighter
You shine like Tokyo
It's getting better all the time
And the hills are alive
With the sound of music
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
I will fly to you
You are my one ambition
Show me your recognition
It's getting better all the time
A nod's as good a wink
No matter what you're thinking
You are the missing link
It's getting better all the time
And the streets are alive
With the sound of music
It's getting better all the time
I could take you to work
And show you some of my perks
It's getting better all the time
The Shed Seven song Getting Better is a love song about a person who is the guiding light of the singer. The lyrics are full of optimism and positivity, talking about how the world is getting better and how the singer is flying towards the person they love. The use of metaphors is striking, with the person being compared to the bright lights of Tokyo, and the world around them being alive with the sound of music.
The first verse of the song declares the person as the singer's "guiding light," which is someone who is leading or showing the way. They are bright and shining like the city of Tokyo, implying that they are a beacon of hope and positivity. The second verse compares the person to the missing link, which is someone or something that is essential for a group to function correctly. The verse portrays that the person is the missing piece in the singer's life, and they need them to be whole.
The chorus of the song repeats that the world is getting better and better with time. The sound of music is all around, and the singer feels that everything is getting better because of the person. The last verse talks about taking the person to work and showing them the perks of the singer's life, a sign of love and dedication towards them.
