@mjeatsies Sorry for the late response, but i thought you might find this useful: I agree about them sounding a bit like the beatles, but I think they resemble the Kinks more. The melody in it self sounds like something the Kinks could have made. It must be said that the Kinks really resemble the Beatles too, though. You better check them out if you haven't heard of them :)
... Honestly, i'm not too much of a fan of this song... I like Franz Ferdinand because of it's lots of guitar, bass, and drums. This is just a little too soft for me...
I love their video's too! Their cartoons always seem to take the shape of 'the future that never was'. All those propelled balloons etcetera remind me of some of the Victorian era's visualisations of the future, the same applies to the 'This Fire' video.
@KissFrancais A tad Beatlesque maybe?? But its probably the name more than anything else........."Eleanor Rigby!!"....."Eleanor put your boots on!!" Thats aboot it really !! Great tune though!!
This one is better than the other... if you don't think so that's because you got used to listen to the other, but is just that. This one is bertter by far
This is the very first time I am hearing this song, it's lovely. I guess it's more special since I am Coney Island born and raised in Brklyn all my life : -)
Now I know! I'll look it up but this is the EXACT same style as used in the beginning of 'Lemony Snicket's series of unfortunate events'. It might be the same motion graphic artist/animator behind it.
At first I did liked the album version better, now im not sure. This one has a little bit more of a melacholic tone to it which I think goes well with this song.
i actually prefer this version to the album version. but thats maybe because ive played the album version so much and this one sounds more new. i think the album version is definitely more like the beatles but alex kapranos' singing in this sounds a lot like bob dylan.
the album version is miles better and DOES sound like The Beatles. but THIS version is good in its own ways but the Beatles influence has kind of gone. I hear like a Modest Mouse thing
i dont see A LOT of beatles influence but i can see why someone would say that. i personally think they have more of a bob dylan sound to their music.
Just 'cause they're pop doesn't mean they want to be like The Beatles. I mean, like 90% of their songs are more dance oriented, and much less soft than this.

I guess the acoustc one isn't commercial enough so for saling it as a single, they needed a new version and I think this one's also a great song. And the clip is very original and kind of cute :)
wow this is the first time I hear this version! It's good but the album version is way better!
