Poloroid is a former stage name of Essex-born singer-songwriter Danielle "Dan" Rowe, best known for her 2003 single "So Damn Beautiful". Originally referring to a trio, the name "Poloroid" was adopted by Rowe for her solo material in 2001, following the death of her bandmate Jon Horrocks. Her song "So Damn Beautiful" was featured on compilation albums, such as Global Underground 012: Bueno Aires, and was also used in the soundtrack to an episode of American drama Nip/Tuck. After her record label, Telstar Records, was dissolved in 2004, Rowe retired the "Poloroid" moniker and formed a new band named No Silence.
Poloroid were originally a trio consisting of Danielle Rowe, Lee Milleare and Jon Horrocks. After Horrocks committed suicide in May 2001, Rowe continued to use the Poloroid moniker as a solo artist. Her song "So Damn Beautiful", which she had co-written with both Milleare and Horrocks, was first brought to the attention of nightclubs after British disc jockey Dave Seaman included it on the mix album Global Underground 012: Bueno Aires in 1999. Because of this attention for the song, Rowe was invited to perform a live set for BBC Radio 1 in Ibiza. As well as interest from the clubs, the track was also used in the UK as part of soundtracks to various victories of the England national football team, such as their 5-1 defeat of Germany in 2001 and their 1-0 victory over Argentina in 2002.
Well, I'm not saying I'm angry now
I'm just wondering, why you changed your mind
Happens all the time
How does it feel to have a winning hand?
First rate failure to the leader in the chosen land
People never understand
If the world keeps spinning round, it will be alright
You said if you were on your own, you could really fly
And while you're up there, turn around and touch the sky
I guess, the point of getting out, is never saying goodbye
You learn your lessons in the hardest time
Run out of patience, lean on the bold face lie
People never wonder why
I feel too tired to scream and shout
Left in the sun, till the colors all fade out
Its great that I work out
If the world keeps spinning round, it will be alright
You left us long ago so, you could really fly
And while you're up there, turn around and touch the sky
I guess the point of getting out, is never saying goodbye
You could really fly
And while you're up there, turn around and touch the sky
I guess the point of getting out, is never saying goodbye
Don't even think that, I will keep you surrounded
