I just thought it was a total pleasure, and I thought the shows were amazing \u2013 to see how much it seemed to matter to people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven from a practical point of view, if you take away the emotional, sentimental goodness of it, we all know how to do it and we\u2019ve been away for long enough that to redo it is so nice. It\u2019s a shock at how natural it all feels, having had time away from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the prospect of new music, Weeks added: \u201cI would say we\u2019re slightly further on than just talking about it, but we\u2019re not a long way on. I live in Lisbon, so it\u2019s harder for me to just get in a room, but I think the fact that we\u2019re doing these shows is a good opportunity to put a fire under us.

So, I felt it made sense with what I wanted to do once we knew what the song was going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as \u2018No Kind Words\u2019 being pressed onto vinyl, Weeks also revealed he\u2019d been working on a special print to be sold in aid of War Child that will feature these figures. \u201cI\u2019m trying to figure out how to use colour [in it] because I\u2019m not very good at that,\u201d he shared. \u201cI want it to be eye-catching and attractive, and make people want it.
