In 2001 the song Take the Long Road and Walk It circulated as a demo, before being released by Fierce Panda. The band were quickly signed by EMI/Virgin imprint, Hut, who released their first EP You Might as Well Try to Fuck Me.
In 2002, following another EP, The People, they released their eponymous debut album.
In Autumn 2004, they released their second album, Welcome to the North, and the accompanying single Freedom Fighters, before touring with Incubus. One of the singles from the album, Breakin', became a hit on American rock radio.
Their eagerly awaited third album entitled Strength in Numbers was released in June 2008. However, in September 2010, singer/songwriter Robert Harvey confirmed the group's intention to split, and on 31 March 2011 the band announced a series of farewell shows in Japan and the UK.

The Truth Is No Words
The Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They remember the old me
All I know is all I own
Everybody moving
Set the rhythm grooving
Send The Rhythm through me
Everybody wants me to be free,
Everybody get down to the beat,
The the the the the truth truth truth truth truth is is is no words
You can. You know what it's for.
But right now, fuck it yeah.
Well I've been around some time
And I don't know what I'm doing
[unknown]
And now everybody's prayin'
Well I don't know what I'm gonna be,
Everybody wants me to be free,
Everybody get down to the beat,
The the the the the truth truth truth truth truth is is is no words
You can. You know what it's for.
Diddly dumb dumb dumb here I come
I don't know what I'm gonna find
Won't somebody help me?
The song "The Truth Is No Words" by The Music is a reflection on the pressure from society to conform and be a certain way. The singer expresses his frustration with people judging him based on his past self and not allowing him the space to grow and change. He emphasizes that he only has control over himself and what he owns, and that everyone should focus on moving to the rhythm of their own beat. The repeated phrase "the truth is no words" suggests that some truths are difficult to express verbally and may require a deeper understanding or experience to comprehend.
The bridge of the song begins with the singer admitting that he doesn't know what he's going to be or what he's doing, but everyone else wants him to be free. This could be interpreted as a desire to break free from the expectations placed on him or to figure out his own identity. The chorus repeats, but with added emphasis on the word "is" and the phrase "diddly dumb dumb dumb here I come," which adds a sense of playfulness and defiance.
Overall, "The Truth Is No Words" is a call to embrace individuality, to not be trapped by others' judgments or expectations, and to find one's own truth even if it cannot be expressed in words.
