En 1992, en el pintoresco pueblo de Downpatrick, Irlanda del Norte, se enciende una chispa en el corazón de tres adolescentes. Tim Wheeler, Mark Hamilton y Rick McMurray forman Ash, una banda que rápidamente se hace notar en la escena local. Desde su temprana edad, los tres amigos comparten un auténtico amor por el rock y el punk, influenciados por bandas como Nirvana, Pixies y Teenage Fanclub. La pasión por la música y la energía juvenil les lleva a crear su primer EP “Trailer” en 1994, marcando el preludio de algo mucho más grande.
En 1996, Ash lanza su álbum debut “1977”, titulado así en honor al año de nacimiento de Wheeler y a la premier de Star Wars. El álbum recibe críticas entusiastas y comercialmente logra un éxito arrollador, llegando a encabezar las listas del Reino Unido. Sencillos como “Girl from Mars” y “Goldfinger” se convierten en himnos generacionales, representando el sonido fresco y la energía pura de la banda.
En 1997, la dinámica del grupo cambia con la incorporación de Charlotte Hatherley como guitarrista y vocalista. Su llegada añade una nueva capa de complejidad a la música de Ash. Con Hatherley a bordo, lanzan “Nu-Clear Sounds” en 1998, un álbum que experimenta con sonidos más oscuros y maduros.
A pesar de su temprano éxito, la banda enfrenta varios desafíos. “Nu-Clear Sounds”

Coasting Song Lyrics
Coasting by Ash The curtain is dropping
I Stand in the fading lights of my summer
My heart is breaking
As the happiest time of my life is ending
I never laughing
Only forgetting
As I lose my memory
The sun is for the last time setting
All the time it takes
My whole life would never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance
Now I'm dreaming
Of someone so precious
The world's too cruel to
Hold her in it's arms and hatefully break her
Now I'm leaving
Standing at the front door for the last time
I was coasting in a dream world
But smiling faces are no more
All the time it takes
My whole life could never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance
If you're coasting
If you're sailing
If you're dreaming
You can be my friend we can dream together
If you're coasting
If you're smiling
If you're nowhere
Hide your face till no one's looking
All the time it takes
My whole life could never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance
I try so hard
But I can never have her back again
I lost it all and she heard me cry
And she knows so well
That it's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life been gathering on and on
Into inexistance
If you like me
If you're like me
If you're coasting
I will dream with you
Until you came around
Tender is the night
As you sing a lullaby
To the darkness
Yeah I find solace in your eyes
Can't face the silence from your side
The sky is starless, ease the darkness
Through the night till the morning light
I find solace in your eyes
Can't face the silence from your side
The sky is starless, ease the darkness
Through the night till morning light
