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.

Subside
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And all our worlds subside
With everything inside
And always wonder why (we carry on)
And always wonder why (we sing this song)
And always wonder why (we carry on)
And always wonder why (now you are gone)

We'll carry on

We'll sing this song

To carry on.

Overall Meaning

The Pineapple Thief's song We Subside is a reflective piece that touches on the theme of loss and the quest to understand why we must carry on despite it. The opening lines, "And all our worlds subside, with everything inside" captures the feeling of emptiness that accompanies loss, as everything within us seems to disappear. The repetition of "And always wonder why" emphasizes the sense of confusion and longing for answers that often accompanies grief. The final line, "now you are gone" suggests that the loss being mourned is that of a loved one.

Despite the pain and confusion of loss, the chorus holds a message of hope and resilience. "We'll carry on, we'll sing this song, to carry on" is a rallying cry to those who may be struggling to find the strength to continue. Singing this song, then, is not just a form of expression, but a way to push on and overcome the weight of grief.

Line by Line Meaning

And all our worlds subside
All our personal universes dwindle and lose their importance

With everything inside
With all the emotions and experiences contained within them

And always wonder why (we carry on)
We constantly question why we continue to persevere through life's challenges

And always wonder why (we sing this song)
We are unsure of the purpose behind expressing our emotions through music

And always wonder why (now you are gone)
We can't comprehend the reason for the loss of a significant person in our lives

We'll carry on
Despite the hardship, we will persist

We'll sing this song
We will continue to use music as an outlet for our emotions

To carry on
In order to move forward and find new meaning in life
