about

In 2019, THUMPER performed a live and very ramshackle version of ‘Unwritten’ by Natasha
Bedingfield for BBC Introducing. Calling on the propulsive fuzz of bands like King Gizzard and
Parquet Courts, they essentially cooked up their own song while lead vocalist Oisín Leahy Furlong

simply belted whatever lyrics from the tune he could remember over the top.

The song lay dormant in the THUMPER back catalogue until 2022 when for some reason the band
decided to bring it out of retirement while touring their lauded debut album Delusions of Grandeur
across sold-out shows and festivals in Europe and at home. Much to the bemusement of the band
their heavily doctored version of Unwritten began to gain traction. Fans began requesting it, and
their inbox began to fill up with increasingly aggressive requests to release a studio version.
Now in 2023, fresh from Delusions of Grandeur being nominated for the Choice Prize Album of the
Year alongside Fontaines DC, CMAT and Dermot Kennedy, the band make the next logical step in
their upward trajectory: dropping an official studio version of the 2004 hit Unwritten by Natasha

Bedingfield.

Accompanying the release, which comes days before the coveted Choice Prize Awards, is a

brand-new, never heard before original THUMPER track ‘Circles’.
This left turn in THUMPER’s catalogue cements them as one of the most exciting and
unpredictable acts to emerge from Ireland's booming guitar scene. As Natasha herself once sang;
“I am unwritten. Can’t read my mind, I’m undefined. I’m just beginning. The pens in my hand:

Ending Unplanned”

lyrics

I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, yeah, yeah
