An indie rock quartet heralded on the release of their debut single, "Fever," in February 2001 as "Britain's best new band," Starsailor has continued the rich lineage of Travis, Coldplay, and others. Formed in Wigan by music students James Walsh (vocals/guitar), James Stelfox (bass), and Ben Byrne (drums), the band went through several guitar-heavy embryonic lineups before the arrival of Barry Westhead (keyboards) cemented their sound. Influenced by Tim Buckley (whose 1970 album gave the band their name), Van Morrison, and Neil Young, they played their first London show at the Heavenly Social in April 2000. At the same time, a demo tape containing the tracks "Fever," "Coming Down," and "Love Is Here" began circulating rapidly around the music industry. By the summer there was a queue of record companies to sign the nascent band.

From A Whisper To A Scream Lyrics

Starsailor

Band - Starsailor
Song - Whisper to a Scream

I'm not scared that I will tire of her
She takes me out into the beautiful love
I'm not sure just what it means
From a whisper to a scream

I get scared that she will tire of me
Tell a lie and break my heart into three
I'm not sure just what it means
From a whisper to a scream

But I wanna be there whenever I can
Won't you pull on my heart strings
You leave simply hang

I'm not scared now when I walk through the storm
I'll come home and I'll find strength in your arms
I'm not sure just what I mean
From a whisper to a scream

I'm not scared now when I'm having to leave
I'll come home and I'll find strength when I breathe
I'm not sure just where I've been
From a whisper to a scream

But I wanna be there whenever I can
Won't you pull on my heart strings
You leave simply hang
