"Munich" is a song by British post-punk revival band Editors and is featured on their 2005 debut album, The Back Room.
[2] The song is characterised by its drum groove reminiscent of "Evil" by Interpol and "marching" guitars, featuring tremolo-picked leads.
[3] According to Editors singer and rhythm guitarist Tom Smith, the song's title has no meaning and is unrelated to the German city of Munich.
[5] Smith said in 2021 that he wrote the lyrics and chord progression in under five minutes of "hungover soul searching with a sprinkle of self-loathing", having had a difficult time the night before.
All songs written and composed by Chris Urbanowicz, Edward Lay, Russell Leetch and Tom Smith, except where noted.
