Head Music es un álbum de Suede, publicado en 1999 por Nude Records. El disco incluye 13 canciones, entre ellas «Electricity», «Savoir Faire», «Can't Get Enough» y «Everything Will Flow».
Sobre el álbum
Con Head Music, la banda se adentra en territorios electrónicos, un movimiento audaz que buscaba reflejar tanto la influencia de la música de baile de la época como las experiencias personales del grupo. El álbum se aleja de las guitarras grandilocuentes del Britpop para abrazar sintetizadores, cajas de ritmos y texturas más frías y sintéticas. El resultado es un disco desigual pero fascinante.
El álbum contiene algunos éxitos innegables. Por ejemplo, "Electricity" es una pieza de glam-pop electrónico con una energía nerviosa y un estribillo masivo. Del mismo modo, "She's in Fashion" es una canción pop elegante y sofisticada con un inolvidable arreglo de cuerdas. Sin embargo, en otros momentos, los experimentos electrónicos no terminan de cuajar, y el álbum carece de la cohesión de sus trabajos anteriores.
Este fue el último álbum con el teclista Neil Codling antes de su regreso años después. La producción es deliberadamente artificial en algunos momentos, lo que generó división entre los fans. Aunque no es su trabajo más celebrado, "Head Music" es un capítulo interesante en la biografía de Suede, un disco que muestra a una banda intentando valientemente no repetirse y explorar nuevos sonidos.

Letra
Watch the early morning sun Drip like blood from the day See the crazy people run So many games to play See the blue suburban dream Under the jet plane sky Sleep away and dream a dream Life is just a lullaby Ah ah ah And everything will flow Ah ah ah You know everything will flow Ah ah ah Watch the day begin again Whispering into the night See the crazy people play Hurrying under the light A million cars, a million trains Under the jet plane sky Nothing lost and nothing gained Life is just a lullaby Ah ah ah And everything will flow Ah ah ah I said everything will flow Ah ah ah You know everything will flow Ah ah ah Ah ah ah And everything will flow Ah ah ah You know everything will flow The neon lights in the night tonight will say Everything will flow The stars that shine in the open sky will say Everything will flow The lovers kissed with an openness will say Everything will flow The cars parked in the hypermarket know Everything will flow - Down6:13
Letra
All the people in your life say you're down And the strangers in the night say you're down And the loonies on the right say you're down and you're down And the ambulances sigh that you're down And the traffic speeding by says you're down And the people in your life say you're down and you're down Hey you chase the day away Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away And there's a sadness in your style And there's a blankness in your smile And the people in the park say you're down And the strangers in the dark say you're down And the pissheads in the bars say you're down And the audiences cry that you're down And the ambulances sigh that you're down And the boyfriends in your life say you're down and you're down Hey you chase the day away Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away And there's a sadness in your style And there's a blankness in your smile Hey you chase the day away Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away And there's a sadness in your style And there's a madness in your smile - She's In Fashion4:53

I love that deafening, thundering sound That sounds like buildinggs tumbling down And people wish that they weren't around When we all rock and roll into town We hear those fearful, piercing screams The kind you find on cinema screens And if they're fit to burst at the seams If they could say what all of this means I am, I am the elephant man It is incredible how I can Look just like an elephant, man, Just like, just like my elephant fans We love that satisfying, rattling crash The sound of registers full of cash We'll be all over your town like a rash We'll steal your children and smoke all your hash I am, I am the elephant man It is incredible how I can Look just like an elephant, man, Just like, just like my elephant fans I love that deafening, thundering sound The sounds like buildings tumbling down And people wish that they weren't around When we all rock and roll into town I am, I am the elephant man It is incredible how I can Look just like an elephant, man, Just like, just like my elephant fans We are, we are the elephant men Take heed, we'll be stampeding again Look out all of you fairweather friends Because elephants never forget - Hi-Fi5:10

Draw the blinds and watch the show Heard it on the radio Saw it on the news today Heard the lonely people say There's a great big crack in the union jack There's a great big crack in the union jack Another day, another low Another midday TV show I saw it on the news today I heard the lonely people say There's a great big crack in the union jack There's a great big crack in the union jack In the union jack
