bande à part

You may think the band are not quite right
But they are, they just play it like that
It doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or what time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song.
[Harrison. Northern Song.]

Gothic bandvja 'symbol, sign' ~ Frankish *banna. Italian banda 'troop' and bandiera 'flag, standard'. Bind, bend, band, bond ... bandage, bondage. PIE *bhendh- 'to bind'.
