I was trying to write a song and nothing was coming. It reminded me of all the years I spent waiting on buses. You never think it’s going to come, but if you wait long enough it usually turns up.“Looking out at the sea at all the little sailing boats, I imagined all the bands and artists sitting in them waiting on that freak gust of wind to blow them to fame and fortune.
We caught a huge one in ’99 so I can testify to the random nature of it.”Healy added: “In the middle of all these thoughts came a cool little melody and the song was written a few minutes later.”‘Bus’ is accompanied by an official video, which was shot in Scotland and directed by Healy.
