Bring Me The Horizon

Songwriter: Oliver Sykes

Producer: Spotify

The last track in the album is "Oh No." "Oh No" is meant to be like this anti-dance song in a way but in doing so it sounds like a dance song. It sounds like something you’d hear in a club. And it’s all about people who live for the weekend and people that’s my age, 30 something or older, they’re still trying to live like 18 or 21. They’re trying hard to have fun they don’t even realize that they’re probably not even having any. The song is meant to sound like you’re walking into a club and I wanted the irony of it to sound like something night out when lyrically it’s saying none of this way of life makes sense to me anymore. The end sax trumpet outro is another idea that came from me. I wanted this final part of the album to feel like when the lights come on at a club or a bar and you get that slightly shitty song feeling. It’s like all good things must come to an end. It’s the only song that’s called something different to the actual lyrics in the song. But if you listen to the chant, the crowd vocals are singing "Oh no," a parody on your generic pop-dance song. They all have these cop-out ‘Woah’ sections and we vowed to never have that because we believe everything has to be in the song for a reason, it has to have weight and worth. But this is the one song where it makes sense to the part like that because it’s almost like taking the piss out of something to have that and lyrically it’s contributing to the whole theme of the song.

Bring Me The Horizon are a British alternative rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire—often stylised as simply “BMTH” or shortened to “Bring Me.” Formed in 2003, the group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver “Oli” Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish.

The name of the band was taken from Captain Jack Sparrow’s line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean which he “Bring me that horizon.” Oli stated in an interview with Spin how the name connects with his vision of the

Right at the end of the film—it might even be the very last line—Johnny Depp says, “Bring me that horizon.” That was really inspiring. I was still living with my parents in Sheffield, England, when the movie came out [in 2003]. For me and the band, playing music was always wrapped up with the idea of touring and traveling and seeing the rest of England and the rest of the world. We never thought doing that was possible, but that’s what we wanted to do. So that quote sort of stands in for our feeling of wanting to see what the planet had to offer.
