'I Can't Escape Myself' is the opening track from The Sound's classic debut album 'Jeopardy' which was first released in November 1980 and reissued in 2002.

'The Sound' formed in South London in 1979, shortly after Adrian Borland's band 'The Outsiders' had dissolved. It isn't a very well-distributed fact, but 'The Outsiders' 1977 LP 'Calling on Youth' was the first self-released British punk LP, issued roughly four months after the Buzzcocks infamous Spiral Scratch 7". Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter 'Adrian Borland' led 'The Outsiders' through a couple of other releases, but the band sputtered out three years after their 1976 formation.

The Sound were a great and under appreciated post punk band, that were around in the early 80's.

Here are the lyrics to 'I Can't Escape Myself':

So many feelings

Pent up in here

Left alone I'm with

The one I most fear

I'm sick and I'm tired

Of reasoning

Just want to break out

Shake off this skin

I can't escape myself

All my problems

Loom larger than life

I can't swallow

Another slice

Seems like my shadow

Marks every stride

Can't learn to live with

What's trapped inside

I can't escape myself

So many feelings

Pent up in here

Left alone I'm with

The one I most fear

I'm sick and I'm tired

Of reasoning

Just want to break out

Shake off this skin

I can't escape myself

This video is a tribute to a classic timeless track by the 1980's post-punk band 'The Sound' and one of the best film makers of our day 'David Lynch'.

Having just revisited Lynch's classic 'The Grandmother' the other evening and then having the tunes on random play, on came the classic 'I Can't Explain Myself' by 'The Sound' so MLUTV put this video together as a tribute to both 'The Sound' and 'David Lynch'. It's also a gift to MLUTV's great friend Tim over their in Austin TX for keeping the original post-punk synth sound alive!!!

Finally, if anybody is affected by any of the issues that have been documented here or suffered any form of abuse as shown in the video here are some links well worth checking out. Always remember nobody should ever suffer in silence, there are people who will listen and who will always help:
