"Ashes" is the second single from English rock band Embrace's fourth studio album, Out of Nothing. This release was publicised by a fan campaign called G.A.T.N.O (Get Ashes to Number One). The song reached number 11. "Ashes" was released to American radio on 1 March 2005.[2] The B-side, "Flaming Red Hair", started life as a cover version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Another B-side, "How Come", a cover of the D12 song of the same name, was originally performed on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 1 show.
Use in popular culture
On 14 August 2014, Reading F.C. fans chose "Ashes" as their official club anthem.[3]
"Ashes" can be heard in the film Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), where it is implied that Embrace are headlining the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival.[4]
The instrumental version of the song was used in BBC's Match of the Day Goal of the Month segment for the 2004-05 season.[5]
