"Munich" is a song by British post-punk revival band Editors and is featured on their 2005 debut album, The Back Room. It was originally released on 18 April 2005 as the second single from the band. It was re-released on 2 January 2006, peaking at number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. It finished as the 184th best-selling single in the UK, in 2006."Munich" is composed in the key of G minor with a tempo of 150 beats per minute. The song is characterised by its drum groove reminiscent of "Evil" by Interpol and "marching" guitars, featuring tremolo-picked leads.
According to Editors singer and rhythm guitarist Tom Smith, the song's title has no meaning and is unrelated to the German city of Munich. Smith took inspiration from the "weird and familiar at the same time" chords of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck for the song's chord progression.
Smith said in 2021 that he wrote the lyrics and chord progression in under five minutes of "hungover soul searching with a sprinkle of self-loathing", having had a difficult time the night before. He felt that the relative lack of words in the song made them more powerful and gave "Munich" a longer-lasting appeal than "Bullets", which had been Editors' breakthrough song.
Lyrics:
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to
It breaks when you don't force it
It breaks when you don't try
It breaks if you don't force it
It breaks if you don't try
People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to
With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still
With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still
People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to
You'll speak when you're spoken to
You'll speak when you're spoken to
He'll speak when he's spoken to
She'll speak when she's spoken to
