HÁTTÉR
Donaghy az egykori producer, Cameron McVey segítségével kezdett zenét írni, hogy segítsen leküzdeni depresszióját, és a "Shanghai Nobody" álnevén, a "Siobhán Donaghy" anagrammája alatt kezdett fellépni. 2003 márciusában Donaghy ezzel a címmel kiadta a "Nothing but Song" című, 7 hüvelykes bakelit kislemezt, mivel nem akarta, hogy "a lány, aki elhagyta a Sugababes-t" néven ismerjék. 2003 júniusában megjelent első kereskedelmi kislemeze, az " Overrated " (McVey-vel és Paul Simm -mel közösen írt ), Donaghy visszatért a keresztnevéhez. A "túlértékelt" a 19. helyen végzett az Egyesült Királyságban. Ezt követte a "", amely 2003 szeptemberében jelent meg és az 52. helyen szerepelt.
Donaghy debütáló albumát , a Revolution in Me -t a London Records adta ki 2003 szeptemberében, és a 117. helyen végzett az Egyesült Királyság albumlistáján. Az albumon apa-fia producerek és írók, Cameron McVey és Marlon Roudette dolgoztak vele a Mattafixtől . Az album tizenkét számának mindegyikét Donaghy közösen írta McVey-vel, Silvio Pacinivel, Preetesh Hirjivel , Matt Kenttel és másokkal.

NOTHING BUT SONG 2003 márciusában Donaghy ezzel a címmel kiadta a "Nothing but Song" című, 7 hüvelykes bakelit kislemezt, mivel nem akarta, hogy "a lány, aki elhagyta a Sugababes-t" néven ismerjék.
OVERRATED Az angol énekesnő , Siobhán Donaghy dala, debütáló stúdióalbumának, a Revolution in Me (2003) vezető kislemezeként jelent meg. Két évvel azután adták ki, hogy kilépett a Sugababes lányegyüttesből . A "Overload" című filmet Donaghy, Cameron McVey és Paul Simm írta , a producer pedig McVey. Ez egy gitáros popdal a csalódás és a nyomorúság élményeiről. A dal kedvező kritikákat kapott a kritikusoktól, akik dicsérték Donaghy énekhangját és McVey produkcióját. A kislemez lett az eddigi legnagyobb slágere: az Egyesült Királyságban az első húsz közé jutott, Ausztráliában, Írországban és Hollandiában pedig listasikereket ért el.
TWIST OF FATE Ez volt a második és egyben utolsó kislemez, amely Sugababe Siobhán Donaghy debütáló stúdióalbumáról, a Revolution in Me- ről jelent meg . A dal nem érte el az előző kislemez, az " Overrated " magasságát, amely az 52. helyre került a brit kislemezlistán. Ez volt az utolsó kislemeze, amelyet a London Recordsnál adtak ki , a lemezkiadótól való távozása miatt.
IODINE A BBC Three Liquid News műsorában interjút készített a " Twist of Fate" megjelenése körül. Siobhan megemlítette a pulykákat a videóban, és azt mondta, hogy azok sokkal relevánsabbak a közelgő karácsonyi kislemeze, a "Iodine" szempontjából. További kislemez azonban nem jelent meg.
POP ILLUSION Az album 20. évfordulós kiadása 2023. december 8-án jelent meg. Ezt megelőzte a „Pop Illusion” című album promóciós kislemezének kiadása.
DALSZÖVEGEK
NOTHING BUT SONG
And we're starting from, a background they find amusing
If I'm not gone, I'll make this home
Let loose this faceless tribune, induce that place all our own
In every strong hold or commune, anyone, anyone
I'll be gone 'til I'm gone, whatever it takes to greet this longing
Let these ancient tones replace me, said I'll be gone 'til I'm gone
Am I to blame, the womb of wrong and illusions
What keeps me sane, nothing but song
I'll be gone 'til I'm gone, whatever it takes to greet this longing
Let these ancient tones replace me, said I'll be gone 'til I'm gone
I'll be gone 'til I'm gone, whatever it takes to greet this longing
Let these ancient tones replace me, said I'll be gone 'til I'm gone
With all it's questions assuming, verse of mine we're all among
An ageing form all consuming, everyone, everyone
I'll be gone 'til I'm gone, whatever it takes to greet this longing
Let these ancient tones replace me, said I'll be gone 'til I'm gone
I'll be gone 'til I'm gone, whatever it takes to greet this longing
Let these ancient tones replace me, said I'll be gone 'til I'm gone
I'll be gone 'til I'm gone, whatever it takes to greet this longing
Let these ancient tones replace me, said I'll be gone 'til I'm gone
MAN WITHOUT FRIEND
Well haven't you heard, baby's got a new thing
And doesn't wanna be disturbed, there'll be no introducing her
But that I won't deter, from making us want to meet now
Am I allowed to call this defeat?
I've been shown, without deserving
That you're at home, with my un-nerving
So I suppose i'll take to healing, and be getting on, getting on
Answer, you got no clever answer
No Answer, so we get no further no sir, no sir
Well haven't you heard, the lady says she's walking
And when he gave his word, she didn't find it soothing
I know what he prefers, is a little bit more control now
Than what she had vowed, home ain't just a place to eat
I've been shown, without deserving
That you're at home, with my un-nerving
So I suppose i'll take to healing, and be getting on, getting on
Answer, you got no clever answer
No Answer, so we get no further no sir, no sir
I've been trying to travel, but my ways are going nowhere
Knowing that somewhere's hard to find
But I, I start to unravel. I start to unravel, in my mind
I've been trying to travel, but my ways are going nowhere
Knowing that somewhere's hard to find
But I, I start to unravel. I start to unravel, in my mind
I've been trying to travel, but my ways are going nowhere
Knowing that somewhere's hard to find
But I, I start to unravel. I start to unravel, in my mind
OVERRATED
Making memories take me, how horrible they can make me
See it over freezing, puffing and wheezing
We all know, when we have acted low
Can feel it from below, a belt of luck come over
And the pain's overrated
Composed, but I don't know, do you?
And the chain's so serrated
And the proof, well I don't know, do you?
Will I ever loose, these old catholic blues
That direct my shoes, give me the strength to choose
I feel all low, the fear won't grow
If I show, it just where to go, but I don't know
And the pain's overrated
Composed, but I don't know, do you?
And the chain's so serrated
And the proof, well I don't know, do you?
Everything you fed me, I take it on delivery
Waved it of to lift me, your all far too slippery
What you gonna give me (What you gonna give me)
What I have, to get through, what I have, to get through
What I have, to get through, what I have, to get through
What I have, to get through, what I have, to get
And the pain's overrated
Composed, but I don't know, do you?
And the chain's so serrated
And the proof, well I don't know, do you?
And the pain's overrated
Composed, but I don't know, do you?
And the chain's so serrated
And the proof, well I don't know, do you?
Everything you fed me, I take it on delivery
Waved it of to lift me, your all far too slippery
What you gonna give me (What you gonna give me)
LITTLE BITS
Truly, it's for real, we all have to deal with shame
Do we watch, do we ever stop, another drop everyday
Here we are running round, the circle's like a penny's round
For revenge, we would say, you would look and be amazed
You tire us, the little bits of misery
Feeling everything, all the problems I will bring
You might think that, that I'm okay, there's one word less that you can say
Fooling us like you fool yourself, you're in danger from your wealth
Treating stuff with no regard, nothing sacred we are scarred
You won't take, no rift from me, in every place, we feel defeat
And you tire us out, the little bits of misery
We got there, went oh yeah, maybe, we should take a re-check
You won't take, no rift from me, in every place, we feel defeat
And you tire us out, the little bits of misery
You won't take, no rift from me, in every place, we feel defeat
And you tire us out, the little bits of misery
AS YOU LIKE IT
Since I've been dealing with you
My prince suppose has taken a move
And I, I'm feeling misunderstood
Do you think our heart is made of wood
Even when you say you don't, to prove a point
Even when you play it as you like it
Even though you say you won't, be staying while around me
Dreams filled with pictures of you
Extremes, the things that you make me do
And I'm getting carried away
Want you in my picture today
Even when you say you don't, to prove a point
Even when you play it as you like it
Even though you say you won't, be staying while around me
Even when I say you don't, I know you won't
Believe a single word I'm saying
Baby won't you stay awhile, as you like it round me
Please don't go and leave me here alone, to entertain myself
Here's my fear, I'll make it clear for you, I can't contain myself
Even when you say you don't, to prove a point
Even when you play it as you like it
Even though you say you won't, be staying while around me
Even when I say you don't, I know you won't
Believe a single word I'm saying
Baby won't you stay awhile, as you like it round me
Even when you say you don't, to prove a point
Even when you play it as you like it
Even though you say you won't, be staying while around me
Even when I say you don't, I know you won't
Believe a single word I'm saying
Baby won't you stay awhile, as you like it round me
NEXT HUMAN (XY)
In the descent of man, heading for extinction
Catch this if you can, I make this prediction
You're my XY, chromosome
And the love between us, is fully blown
That's why here at home
I'm you're one and only, XX alone
Gone for all humanity, a Shakespearean tragedy
We're all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us, is very nearly blown
And that's why we are all at home
Feeling lonely, XY, XX alone, XX alone
God will all humanity, fail to find a remedy
We haven't found a place where we, can all human kind together be
We're all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us, should be fully grown
And that's why, we should be all at home
And never lonely, XY, XX all one
Mmm, ah, ha, mmm, ah, ha, mmm, ah, ha, mmm, ah, ha
I'm dreaming, the meaning of words
And, what do they all mean, it's all so absurd
Mmm, we focus(Yeah) on all the worst things
And we're all full of fear, for what the life brings
You're my XY chromosome
And the love between us, is fully blown
That's why here at home
I'm you're one and only, XX alone
We're all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us, should be fully grown
And that's why, we should be all at home
And never lonely, XY, XX all one
Mmm ah ha, mmm ah ha, mmm ah ha, mmm ah ha
XY, XX all one, XY, XX all one
XY, XX all one, XY, XX all one, XY, XX, XY, XX, XY, XX all one
SUASEX
It's a good sign, when we love things
Make a weak defence, I'm not lying, it's a sign of mine
Take a look, get a hook, it's worth holding
Read the book, see the look, we're moulding as one body
As we cook every look, too scolding
Have I said something, will our love still show?
Would encase your love every day, in your love's a special occasion
Take a look, get a hook, it's worth holding
Read the book, see the look, we're moulding as one body
As we cook every look, too scolding
Take a look, get a hook, it's worth holding
Read the book, see the look, we're moulding as one body
As we cook every look, too scolding
Diga Susana, Le gusta su colegio, sí
Por qué, por que es muy grande y bonito
Take a hold of every moment, every movement, every garment
Held my soul like you're a solvent, could use your deep involvement
Take a look, get a hook, it's worth holding
Read the book, see the look, we're moulding as one body
As we cook every look, too scolding
Take a look, get a hook, it's worth holding
Read the book, see the look, we're moulding as one body
As we cook every look, too scolding
Diga Susana, Le gusta su colegio, sí
Por qué, por que es muy grande y bonito
TWIST OF FATE
And all I know that when I'm twisted, one and two can mean the same thing
And if this stone has ever lifted, then God knows I would have gone the distance
And by the hands I would have taken you, but due to circumstances
Get this image but I can't taste, without knowing what this is
Can you find the words to say
That I hate you is not an easy thing to say?
Can you admit that each mistake
You ever made is just another twist of fate?
I'm never told that my difference, will pay off in every instance
And with all this double meaning, I have doubt in my resistance
Only fame a turns a change, seem apart of our existence
Tell me how I'm supposed to keep you close, with all I've witnessed
Can you find the words to say
That I hate you is not an easy thing to say?
Can you admit that each mistake
You ever made is just another twist of fate?
Can you find the words to say
That I hate you is not an easy thing to say?
Can you admit that each mistake
You ever made is just another twist of fate?
What have I heard, that's got me reaching?
For every turn there's a turning point
From this eternal battle, and all of this hassle, what have I learnt
Can you find the words to say
That I hate you is not an easy thing to say?
Can you admit that each mistake
You ever made is just another twist of fate?
Can you find the words to say
That I hate you is not an easy thing to say?
Can you admit that each mistake
You ever made is just another twist of fate?
FACES
Waiting, and the days they speak to me with all their history
Little ways passing phases all so consistently
As the gazes reached for me with that intensity
Through this maze of misled praise the words get into me
Staring at faces of our times to reconcile
There's always patience waiting for a place in our minds
And in that autumn you'll find every orphan will lose their need
To pine reassure them the world before them staring at faces
Change, cause words alone will soon dissolve
And leave us with a face we can't console
In the zone conscious of tones, we can't resolve
Staring at faces of our times to reconcile
There's always patience waiting for a place in our minds
And in that autumn you'll find every orphan will lose their need
To pine reassure them the world before them staring at faces
DIALECT
Enemies with love and without fortune
Render me while we're still immune to them
When those months have gone by shortly friend
I know, I know in war that you'll report me then
Your dismay can't be cured, and at this stage
If I could, then I would, I'd help you, rage disguises pain
In the maze of blood and veins
And this gaze that kills you, gaze that kills you
Shakespeare cliché a reality
Literally our stories from those pages
Ooh, Dialect is clouding understanding
When they come a-asking
I know that you'll report me then
You wanna try me on what you think you know
You never saw me, saw me ever
You wanna try me on what you think you know
You never saw me, saw me ever
You wanna try me for my crimes alone
I'll last forever, last forever
Your dismay can't be cured, and at this stage
If I could then I would, I'd help you, rage disguises pain
In this age we shouldn't face, a love that kills you
REVOLUTION IN ME
In between the lines, we replace somebody
How often do I find, revolution in me
Watch the space that's left by those who're gone
The names of men, written for only the desperate to find
Better yet, again gather what we know
And start to show, those many miles of woe, so
In between the lines, we replace somebody
How often do I find, revolution in me
A mean design, this mind and body
When the two collide, revolution in me
I'm tired of all these bad signs
And now there's no time to wait for people, to change their minds
'Cause from now on their burden is mine, without their screaming
When they say they're leaving, now is only to remind, remind
In between the lines, we replace somebody
How often do I find, revolution in me, revolution in me
A mean design, this mind and body
When the two collide, revolution in me
In between the lines, we replace somebody
How often do I find, revolution in me
A mean design, this mind and body
When the two collide, revolution in me
IODINE
Hurling ourselves down to the depths, back since the day lest we forget
Cause time it is set, our memories crept, so now let's political get
There is no left wing, to fight the right wing
We're like turkeys in a box, our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox, we're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away
Acceptable face, all over the place
The lower you stoop, the less the disgrace
You use all your charms to sound the alarm
Have you got the legs to call us to arms
Like lambs to the slaughter, we paid for your daughters
We're like turkeys in a box, our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox, we're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away
Like the cut of your love, like the cut that won't heal up enough
We're like turkeys in a box, our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox, we're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away
We're like turkeys in a box, our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox, we're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away
THOSE ANYTHING
You left me alone, but you don't know why
You said silly things, and taught me to cry
See I've been searching, dor words to confide
I'm trying to breathe, but it hurts inside
You say, me is all that's turning you
Now I say, now I say, those anythings
You left me alone, for the reasons to try
You say it all in vein, yhese tiny thought are mine
See I've been learning, to stand firm in time
I'll be turning these woes into pride, these woes into pride
You say, me is all that's turning you
Now I say, now I say, those anythings (Say)
You say, me is all that's turning you
Now I say, now I say, those anythings (Say)
You say, me is all that's turning you
Now I say, now I say, those anythings (Say)
You say, me is all that's turning you (Say)
Now I say, now I say, those anythings (Say yeah, now I say, those anythings)
You say, me is all that's turning you (Yeah, yeah)
Now I say, now I say, those anythings (Say yeah, now I say)
INSTANCES
I was kept away, locked up from the shames
In your darkest faces, I saw enemies
Never told you to stay down, now I'm suffering
Why you're my leases, I wait patiently, I wait patiently
If I, if I had only known, the places I was shown
Made me so unsure, a lie is something I would yearn for
For dying to explore, these very instances, that left me scarred, left me scarred
Who could fit the bill, and what you ask ain't clear
No reason for the anguish, when you never had to fear
I'd given all my binding, into your ideal
Find my dedicated, unsure of what to feel, unsure of what to feel
If I, if I had only known, the places I was shown
Made me so unsure, a lie is something I would yearn for
For dying to explore, these very instances, that left me scarred, left me scarred
Who's talking to ya? (Who's talking to you?)
Who's talking to ya now, cCause I can't hear a sound
And there's no one else around, but me
Am I so hard to see, who's talking to ya? (To ya, to ya, to ya, to ya, to ya, to ya)
If I, if I had only known, the places I was shown
Made me so unsure, a lie is something I would yearn for
For dying to explore, these very instances, zhat left me scarred, left me scarred
If I, if I had only known, the places I was shown
Made me so unsure, a lie is something I would yearn for
For dying to explore, these very instances, zhat left me scarred, left me scarred
If I, if I had only known, the places I was shown (Shown)
Made me so unsure, a lie is something I would yearn for (Yearn for)
For dying to explore, these very instances, that left me scarred, left me scarred
These very instances, that left me scarred
THUS FAR
I already knew before i say
Unlike you i wasn't good to myself
An unsteady view i had under you
Before i say, before i say, the words that left me
We, you got me here
Un heave the weight now, you got me feeling this fever, dead
But somehow i'll climb, out of yesterday
So i review the health we bled
Wishful, a tune is what we had
An unsteady view has seen me break
Before i say, before i say, word that left me
We, you got me here
Un heave the weight now, you got me feeling this fever, dead
But somehow i'll climb, out of yesterday
We, you got me here
Un heave the weight now, you got me feeling this fever, dead
But somehow i'll climb, out of yesterday
I held the fever in my hands
To know that i've tasted the bitter feud
And i learn to love the failure, that stands by me
Before i say, before i say, the words that left me
Before i say, before i say, the words that left me
DON'T KNOW WHY
Would you call if you need me, I could stop you feeling lonely
It's not right, you know, to say I told you so, we've got all our lives to try
I don't know why, but I feel so sorry for myself
And I don't know why, but I feel so sorry for myself, for myself
Don't you know, you could save me, you could try to match and mould me
It's not right, you know, to say I told you so, we've got all our lives to try
I don't know why, but I feel so sorry for myself
And I don't know why, but it seems like I don't know myself
And I don't know why, but I feel so sorry for myself, for myself, for myself
But I feel so sorry, and I don't know why, but it seems like I don't know myself
And I don't know why, but I feel so sorry for myself, for myself, for myself, for myself
I don't know why, but I feel so sorry for myself, for myself, for myself, for myself
I'M GLAD YOU'RE MINE
Babe, I'm so glad you're here
Babe, I've got something to say my dear
Babe, yeah, I'm so glad you're mine
Oh, babe, why do you take so long
Oh, babe, only make my love grow strong
Babe, yeah, I'm so glad you're mine
When darkness gathered round me, and friends would say not me
I know you'll never let me down, I know you'll never let me down
Babe, I'm not going to leave you alone
Oh, babe, I'm tougher than i'll givе you what you want
Babe, yeah, I'm so glad you're minе
When darkness gathered round me, and friends would say not me
I know you'll never let me down, I know you'll never let me down
Oh, babe, I wanna turn my back and walk away
Babe, I'll see you another day
Babe, babe, I'm so, I'm so, thankful for your love, yeah
Thankful for your love, yeah, glad you're mine (oh, yeah)
Glad you're mine, babe, baby, I'm so glad you're mine
POP ILLUSION
I have been known for making a fusion of pop illusion
But I was no good at faking, I couldn't make it, I couldn’t take it so I fell
Out of the loop, I had to scoop my reality, back into shape, I had escaped
How the brain (It's a miracle) mends all (Helps us lick our wounds)
If we don't (If we really don’t) shift too soon (Take it easy)
I've taken the slimmest of chances, romances ever present in my world
By breaking some limits and boundaries, I found me, this ever present little girl
I couldn't take it in the world, out of mind half of the time, no reality, back into shapе
How the brain (It's a miracle) mends all (Hеlps us lick our wounds)
If we don't (If we really don't) shift too soon (Take it easy)
To fall away (We don't fall away) from the things we need (Stuff to feed the mind)
All the love (Give us all the love) from which we feed (It's the thing we need)
The brain minds the body, feeds the eye, the soul needs embracing , so do I
The strain on my god It makes us cry, if we don’t feed the mind, we petrify
I have been known for making a fusion of pop illusion
On pop illusion, on pop illusion, on pop illusion, on pop illusion
On pop illusion, on pop illusion, on pop illusion, on pop illusion
On pop illusion, on pop illusion, on pop illusion
FICKLE
Tinkle fickle her, what happen, she don’t care, cause heaven is everywhere
Crinkle lost her flair, head and hands on a chair, she hasn’t got a thing to wear
Sea breeze, oh please, how will she feel in the morning?
Such a tease, fell weak at the knees, she falls so quick without warning
It’s all so complicated, and she’s frustrated, wants it simple all the time
Life would be much better, if you would let her, never have to tow the line
It’s a vague land over there, never stare back at the pair of chumps
Cause they don’t care, what is fair, and you will end up full of lumps
It’s all so complicated, and she’s frustrated, wants it simple all the time
Life would be much better, if you would let her, never have to tow the lines
Got a man who tried to play it cool, type of approach
Just lose the anger, but be aware of the danger, or it’s you up against the ropes
And in this debacle, she met a boy called Michael
Life’s an endless round of ever-shrinking cycles
We know what you’re thinking, we hear your brain cells clinking
She’s a lonely girl now, her life is sinking, below the waterline
It’s all so complicated, and she’s frustrated, wants it simple all the time
Life would be much better, if you would let her, never have to tow the lines
You think she’s going nowhere, but in her head, she’s got a lot to climb
She wouldn’t be this blatant, with her statements, if she couldn’t do the time
She couldn’t do the time
