"Music is something that should speak for itself, straight from the heart. It took me a long time to understand that - and as a musician, music is your way out. What you learn from working with other performers and musicians is invaluable, and can only help you grow. I mean, if you spend your whole life focusing on yourself, you’re not really learning much". Damon Albarn, Musician

AN ENTERTAINMENT DELIGHT

Public Address: AN ENTERTAINMENT DELIGHT

• "I've always felt that it's the point of the artist to try and challenge themselves and the audience at the same time. Irony is a powerful, sincere force. Being able to reveal yourself without irony can be very pretentious. We've never been a band that likes to take itself too seriously, and sometimes when it comes across too seriously, I try to keep it theatrical. You can quite happily exist in your own version of the world built around you, which you can build for yourself. As human beings, we create belief systems that make us feel happy with the choices we make. You'd have a lot of unhappy people regretting everything if they didn't create the belief system in which they could explain all their choices and feel like they've done the right thing."

  Robert Del Naja/3D, Musician (Massive Attack)

Let’s be honest, a break-up is one of the hardest experiences that you can go through in life. While relationships can be tough enough at the best of times, when you have to say goodbye, for better or for worse, it's never easy. Whether you’ve been together for just a couple of weeks or for several years, ending things with someone that you have given your heart and love to can leave you feeling devastated, utterly heartbroken and lost. While you're trying to get over a split, there are plenty of songs out there that will say the things you can't. Here in this Public Address special - you'll hear quite a few - so you're not alone in feeling so bereft.
