He wrote the song "Colder" which features on The Boy with No Name and three of the songs from the sixth album Ode to J. Smith , including single Something Anything , which is the first Travis single not to be written by Fran Healy. Payne also appeared as a backing vocalist in the song "Tumble and Fall" on Feeder's album Pushing the Senses . [2]
