From the sleeve notes for the latest release End Titles...Stories For Film released in July 2008, the current line-up is stated as James Lavelle and Pablo Clements, also a member of the Psychonauts.
The original line-up was James Lavelle, Tim Goldsworthy (now a member of DFA) and Kudo (Major Force West, Skylab). This incarnation released several EPs and singles, usually involving collaborations with other Mo'Wax affiliated artists.
In 1998, after the departure of Goldsworthy and Kudo, Lavelle enlisted US producer DJ Shadow to help complete UNKLE's debut album, "Psyence Fiction". On this album they collaborated with a variety of guest artists including Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Mike D (Beastie Boys), Badly Drawn Boy and Richard Ashcroft (The Verve). The album contained songs which merged indie-rock with hip hop.
In 2003 UNKLE released "Never, Never, Land". At this time UNKLE consisted of Lavelle and new collaborator Richard File, and the album also featured Ian Brown (The Stone Roses), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Robert Del Naja (Massive Attack), Mani (The Stone Roses, Primal Scream) and others.
A third album entitled "War Stories" was released in July 2007. It features collaborations with Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Ian Astbury (The Cult), Autolux, Robert Del Naja (Massive Attack), The Duke Spirit, and Gavin Clark, and is far more strongly rock-influenced than previous releases. The album was preceded by an EP, Nights Temper, of which a limited pressing was released in May 2007.
Lavelle has also released several mix albums and remixes under his own name and under the name UNKLEsounds (together with Richard File).
UNKLE is known for remixing music from artists such as Explosions in the Sky, Massive Attack, and Oasis.
In My Mind
UNKLE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know the moon hands tied us
Can you find where hides the love
Breathing down your neck
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
I see the moon, the moon sees
All that I do is twist in the unreal
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
(Someone's found a way)
To break into my mind.
Ah
Ah
Lives a gun that's always pointing
Lives a gun that's pointing in my face
(Someone's found a way)
(Someone's found a way)
(Someone's found a way)
(Someone's found a way)
Ah
(Someone's found a way)
(Someone's found a way)
(Someone's found a way)
Ah
(Someone's found a way)
(Someone's found a way)
(Someone's found a way)
Ah
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Ah
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
(To break into my mind)
(To break into my mind)
I like
The street, the smells
The sense of the underworld
Sometimes you come face to face with yourself
The lyrics of UNKLE's "In My Mind" speak to the overwhelming feeling of being trapped and pursued by an elusive force. The singer seems to be running from something, but it's not clear what that something is. The metaphorical "moon" is mentioned several times in the song, tying into the idea that the singer is being controlled by an external force. The line "someone's found a way" implies that this force has somehow hacked into the singer's mind.
The line "lives a gun that's always pointing" is particularly powerful, as it suggests imminent danger and the constant threat of harm. The singer is powerless against this force and is being forced to confront something within themselves that they may not be ready to face. The final line "Sometimes you come face to face with yourself" drives home the narrative of a person being pursued by their own demons.
Overall, the lyrics of "In My Mind" paint a picture of a person being chased by something they can't escape from, eventually coming face to face with their own issues and inner turmoil. The repeated use of the word "someone" adds to the feeling of paranoia and uncertainty, leaving the listener questioning what this external force really is.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't you go to turn around
Please don't look back and leave me behind
I know the moon hands tied us
I understand that external forces beyond our control are keeping us apart
Can you find where hides the love
Can you discover where the love between us is hidden?
Breathing down your neck
I'm so close to you, you can feel my breath on the back of your neck
Someone's found a way
Someone has found a solution
I see the moon, the moon sees
I see the same moon as you do and feel its presence in our lives
All that I do is twist in the unreal
I am lost in reality and my actions don't make sense anymore
To break into my mind
To infiltrate my thoughts and emotions without my consent
Lives a gun that's always pointing
I am constantly threatened by danger and violence
Lives a gun that's pointing in my face
I am facing extreme danger and cannot escape
Ah
An expression of emotion or realization
(To break into my mind)
A repeated reminder of the invasive thoughts affecting the artist
I like
I enjoy
The street, the smells
The urban environment and its associated sensory experiences
The sense of the underworld
The feeling of being part of a secret, subversive community
Sometimes you come face to face with yourself
Occasionally, you are confronted with your own identity and inner demons

You keepin on a holdin',
A holdin' on a keepin,
No giving into taking more but still still feedin',
You keepin on a holdin',
A-holdin' on a-keepin,
No giving into taking more but still still feedin',
You're clearly disturbed,
All you want is allegiance
Hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hear them with believin'
Oh holy holy water washing over the soul
Collecting all the people you love to sing you a song
Even if they stick to humming
Holding on a song to see them
When you're really sick-a sick-a sick of love
Leaving with their heart
To shape them within
Even if they stay to running
Hold 'em on the soul, believing
Till you wanna stick-a stick-a stick to love
When you went down, the men came callin'
Changing to stone as you wept from fallin
When you went down, the men came callin'
Speaking in tongues we've all been summoned.
Ride, you wait to hug the shoal, you hate the thought, you're so-so.
You seem so dark to cry.
Oh, we're ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
With you in my head
With you in my head
With you in my head
When you went down, the men came callin'
Faded in stone as you wept from fallin
When you went down, the men came callin'
Singing in tongues, it makes things summoned.
Oh, we're ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
I hope that I'm ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you

The baseball scene and the training scene are both perfect examples of brilliant use of music fitting the scenes in the Twilight Saga.
