Biffy Clyro - 'The Myth Of The Happily Ever After' | Track by track

Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil along with Ben and James Johnston sit down with NME to talk us through the lyrics, meaning and recording of each and every song on their 10th album 'The Myth Of The Happily Ever After' - and how it was inspired by pandemic life, political cults, environmental catastrophe, an unlucky Japanese racehorse, West End musicals, love, death, depression, empathy and "trying to find strength through a really hard time".

The album Is a masterpiece. Im still trying to process why Denier is so emotional that i almost can't hear it

[@sandorcastle]

"...it's you, it's always been you"
This album came just at the right time, especially with the context behind unknown male. It always comes back.

[@ScottAndersonYT]

I’m fine with a new album next February 😂

I listen to them for about 12 years. As a teenager I never took care of the lyrics in their songs cos English is not my first language, I just completely fell in love with their vibe. When I got older I started to pay attention to lyrics in songs, listen to other genres like rap/trap etc. ACOE and especially this masterpiece are so great in the matter of lyrics and corresponds with me growing up so much that my love for this band only rises up. Totally grateful for what they did, it shaped me as a human being. Sounds bit psycho-fan but it's true! :d

[@danielhorton9929]

I like how Ben just sits back, nods and let’s James and Simon handle the elaborations haha

[@iainc666]

I think the really good lyrics Simon forgot is "before the rhythm stops, before it ends, please give love to everyone". Interesting way to end the album when you contrast it against the last album's closer Cop Syrup's "fuck everybody, woo!"

Might just be my favourite biffy album to date.

[@ganon1028]

Love to hear Simon talk about his music, his songwriting has had such a huge impact on my life for so long

[@jag1392]

Masterpiece album. Enough said.

[@andrewm2459]

Have love for everyone! Best ending biffy has ever left us with

[@MyWebVideoRocks]

So thankful for these fine gentlemen/Musicians. Massive impact on my life. I hope they get to over here to the States in 2022

[@Germsburn1234]

Just saw them in Dallas! Been a fan since I was 13 back in 2011, from the moment I caught the last song and a half of them opening for Foo fighters and Motörhead. Went right home and became obsessed with revolutions live at Wembley and was hooked. Biffy in the states exceeded every expectation, and we get the privilege of seeing them in small 600-1000 cap clubs where everyone else sees them in huge 15,000-20,000 cap arenas. Truly a special experience for me.
Mon the biff!

[@soumya86]

This album is a work of art!

[@skisservinterYT]

Son demasiado lindos y amo tanto la energía que tiene Simon en contraste con los chicos que se quejan de que algunos temas son complicados de tocar y q por eso nunca las escucharemos en el escenario. Señores, USTEDES SON INCREÍBLES. Le han dado a mi existencia una razón más para levantarse cada mañana y reproducir una y otra vez este álbum mientras intento ser un humano funcional, y les agradezco enormemente por eso. Estoy profundamente enamorada de este disco y sueño con verles en vivo algún día. Adoro el acento de Simon cuando canta, lo diferente que se siente aquí cuando habla. Y caray, déjenlo putear en paz! Como si no dijéramos estas palabras a cada rato todos los días. Anyways, thank you NME for bringing this, and Biffy Clyro, for being such an amazing band and gift us with this masterpiece

[@DeanCutsforth]

Si appears to have had a wee biff before the interview 😅

[@nathanbrisset7157]

Errors in the history of god what an amazing and powerful song !!

[@recordatron]

Ironically, it sounds like the recent crappy proceedings shaped this album into something more resembling Infinity Land which is a very positive outcome for me in spite of the dark subject matter of the pandemic.

[@jimcondon7935]

dude, we get it, you like Infinity Land!

[@adamgrice937]

I would like to know from where Simon got his stunning coat

[@sluice]

Wow Ben was so chatty here 😂

[@bigpauliep6992]

Seems they needed to be stuck in one place for an extended period in order to find themselves again.
At least this past year's shitshow appears to have been of some positive benefit.

[@mrgazzaw]

Is it as good as ACOE, for me no, but it's still a mega album, maybe an extra 6 months to add extra/less in a way may have made it better. Holy Water has been made amazing with the extra at the end though
