Initially a solo outlet for Bruce’s music the first album, Abducting the Unicorn, was released on Cyclops Records in May 1999. The critical plaudits and small but fanatical fan base that grew around the release was enough to convince Bruce that perhaps TPT was here to stay and he returned to the Dining Room studios to work on the second TPT album, 137.
Following the reaction to its release in the spring of 2002 and the growing demand from fans for live shows, Bruce felt the need to expand TPT to a full band. The band consisted of his close musical friends – former university band mate Jon Sykes on bass, Wayne Higgins on guitars, Matt O'Leary on keyboards and Keith Harrison on drums. Wayne and Matt have since left but Steve Kitch (who co-produced and mixed the albums since 10 Stories Down) joined to replace Matt and play the keyboards.
The third album, Variations On A Dream (2004) gave TPT a further boost, reaching out to yet more people all over the world. Three albums followed, 10 Stories Down (2005), Little Man (2006), and limited the run What We Have Sown (2007) which featured re-worked un-released tracks. This was to prove to be the last album released via Cyclops before the band signed to Kscope and released Tightly Unwound. This was followed by The Dawn Raids EPs and 3000 Days, a 2CD re-mixed and re-mastered collection of songs from their ten year history so far.
The band returned in May 2010 with their new album Someone Here Is Missing. This album marked a significant step forward in the maturity of the band’s song writing and earned the band critical acclaim. In April 2011 the Thief were privileged to be invited to cover Pink Floyd's 'Money' by Mojo magazine for their cover CD tribute to the Dark Side of the Moon.
The band will release a new studio album in September 2012.

All The Wars
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find out a way
The promise, your promise
From wishing away
And all the wars
Come back to me
And all the wars
An no one is moving
Till the end of our days
No crying, no fall out
Just the darkest of days
And all the wars
Come back to me
And all the wars
Come back to me
And if I am to reach
Iif I am to reach
A final peace with you
And all the wars
Come back to me
And all the wars
Come back to me
And if that's all I have?
If that's all I have?
I'll reach a final peace with you
I'll reach a final peace with you
The song "All The Wars" by The Pineapple Thief begins with the singer's struggle to find a resolution to a conflict, which seems to have been promised as per the lyrics, "The promise, your promise from wishing away." The singer is still fighting and searching for a way to mend things. The chorus of the song, "All the wars come back to me," suggests that the conflicts of the past have come back to haunt the singer.
The second verse of the song suggests a sense of stagnation, as "no one is moving till the end of our days." There is no crying or fallout, just the darkest of days. Despite the bleakness of the present, the singer seems to hold out hope for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. In the bridge, the singer declares the importance of reaching a final peace with the other party, even if that's all he has.
The song "All The Wars" is a part of the album of the same name that was released by the English rock band The Pineapple Thief in 2012. The album ventured into heavier territory than the band's previous releases.
The album title, "All The Wars," refers to conflicts of all kinds, including personal battles and political wars.
The song was penned by the band's frontman, Bruce Soord.
"All The Wars" was released as a single from the album, along with a music video.
The song features a layered, atmospheric sound and is characterized by soaring melodies.
While The Pineapple Thief is primarily a rock band, "All The Wars" incorporates elements of post-rock and progressive rock.
The band's music is often compared to the likes of Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, and Pink Floyd.
The song has been performed live multiple times by the band, and a live version was released on their 2016 album "Where We Stood."
The Pineapple Thief has released numerous albums since its formation in 1999 and continues to tour and record music.

Line by Line Meaning
I am still fighting
I am still struggling to figure things out
To find out a way
To find a solution
The promise, your promise
The commitment you made
From wishing away
From trying to ignore the problem
And all the wars
All the conflicts and issues
Come back to me
Resurface in my mind and life
An no one is moving
Nobody is taking action
Till the end of our days
Forever
No crying, no fall out
No emotional outbursts or consequences
Just the darkest of days
Only difficult and trying times
And if I am to reach
If I am able to achieve
A final peace with you
A resolution to our conflict and reconciliation
And if that's all I have?
And if that is the only option available to me?
I'll reach a final peace with you
I will still strive to find a way to resolve our issues and come to an agreement with you

I see the video as an allegory for how his life going all the rails finally killed his relationship. The man with the crowbar might be a friend whom she left him for, and this killed the perception of the woman he loved. As he sits on the park bench he relives that moment when everything feel apart, and decides to put an end to his pain.
