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.
With You in My Head
UNKLE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 song "With You in My Head" by UNKLE is a haunting and melancholic track that explores themes of love, loss and devotion. The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation and longing for connection, as the singer reflects on the pain of holding on to love that is slipping away. The opening lines create a cyclical feeling of holding on and being held, and the repetition of the phrase "still feeding" suggests a sense of desperation and neediness. The line "all you want is allegiance" implies a yearning for loyalty and fidelity, but the following lines suggest that this is not forthcoming. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "with you in my head," reinforces the idea of an obsessive longing for a lost love.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly cryptic and fragmented, suggesting a descent into madness or delusion. The image of "holy holy water washing over the soul" evokes a religious fervor or cleansing, but it is unclear what this symbolizes. The imagery of "fading into stone" and "speaking in tongues" suggests a kind of mystical or otherworldly experience, and the last lines of the song, "I hope that I'm ready, honey, I got all the skills," might suggest an acceptance of this altered state.
Overall, the lyrics of "With You in My Head" are enigmatic and open to interpretation, but they create a powerful sense of loss, longing, and emotional dislocation.

Oh holy holy water washing over the soul
The pure and holy forces of life are purifying 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
You gather all the people you care about to sing for you,
Even if they don't sing out loud,
They hold on to the song to comfort you,
When you feel fatigued from love,
They leave your side, taking your essence,
To shape who they are,
Even if they disappear quickly,
Hold their soul within you, believing,
Until you want to 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.
When you hit rock bottom, people reached out to you,
Freezing with despair on hearing your cries of agony,
When you hit rock bottom, people reached out to you,
Speaking in tongues, calling for help.
Ride, you wait to hug the shoal, you hate the thought, you're so-so
You seem so dark to cry.
You ride on, waiting to hug the coast,
You dread the idea, being in a state of uncertainty,
You sound mourning and sorrowful.
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
Oh, we're ready,
I possess all the aptitude,
You bestowed your love on us,
Everything you've imparted,
It was never about the specific things, really,
It's all about my love for you.
With you in my head
With you in my head
With you in my head
With you constantly in my thoughts,
With you constantly in my thoughts,
With you constantly in my thoughts.
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
I hope that I'm prepared,
I possess all the ability needed,
You bestowed your love upon us,
Everything you've taught me,
It never really held value,
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.
