Wow Such An Amazing Song, No Doubt About It .

[Spartans1ify]

@cr3by No, American, but there's just so much crap (i.e. Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, etc.) over here, it makes me want to over to Britain.

[01musicbabe]

@Spartans1ify we have crap like justin bieber too, we have a boy band called one direction which is basically 5, 12 year old justin biebers with shitty autotuned pop music. we have some good muic, not all. Anyways you guys have the strokes :(

[Spartans1ify]

Those lucky Brits. They get all the good music, while we're stuck with Justin Bieber. :(

[cr3wby]

@Spartans1ify so you're canadian eh?

[Steirm]

@Spartans1ify if you get silent alarm remixed this comes as disc 2 with the best songs: storm and stress, always new depths, and storm and stress acoustic and this and one other one i think...

@SeanMDolan OMG WHO THE HELL CARES

[SeanMDolan]

@Alvaroho free world, btw you commenting contradicts what you say, if you didn't care you wouldn't reply

[TheBigBreakdown]

@SeanMDolan Blah blah just stop, both of you.

[SeanMDolan]

@TheBigBreakdown i did nothing wrong buddy, read the comments

[TheBigBreakdown]

@SeanMDolan Even though Alvaroho acted like a douche, nobody really cares what your top ten songs are. :\

[SeanMDolan]

@TheBigBreakdown my point exactly, i know many people don't care and i don't mind, but a douche is a douche

[kyranieTMHT]

One of the best UK bands. I remember having like over 600 plays on this song on my ipod, Bloc Party are the shit. The Drummer has mad skills.

[MontCookie]

Soo good

[FarEasternMonkeys]

I haven't known this song. Good! !

[robinmendieta]

bad quality

[butcherandom]

this is sped up, is it not...?

[GalacticFroggy]

@butcherandom there are two versions. I like to think the other one is slowed but either way your right

[RawTranquility]

This song brings back so many memories for me.

[peanutsauce159]

What is this? I don't have this song! Time to get...

[GalacticFroggy]

I have this song and one other on a playlist continually playing just to give them more views. People need to hear this song

[sheps145]

I remember this MP3, ripped straight from the vinyl & uploaded it years ago.

Absolute legend.

This was the only copy I had of it for ages.

[elementvolcomvans]

one of their best songs!

[RedNewb95]

You take the fun out of me!

You take the fun out of me!

You take the fun out of me!

[PaperHeroProductions]

@GalacticFroggy

You pirate! You should not google youtube to mp3, click on the top link, and convert this video!! Don't do it!!

[GalacticFroggy]

@PaperHeroProductions You can trust me I swear!! Why would someone want to have this on their ipod anyway!! Thats why I need it so that I can perma Bloc it!!! I swear!!!

[PaperHeroProductions]

@GalacticFroggy

:) So did the website not work out for you?

[GalacticFroggy]

@PaperHeroProductions It did?...not? To be honest I dont know how to answer that one both in the context of the joke and honestly. But I'll just say I get to listen to the song out of home every day.

[PaperHeroProductions]

@GalacticFroggy

lol Awesome ^_^

by the way, I love your Username.

[GalacticFroggy]

@PaperHeroProductions Space animals > space aliens

[GalacticFroggy]

Were can I find this song now that Limewire is down? I Need it back on my Ipod, sooooooo badddddddddddddddd

[brotheregghead]

Mp3 PLEASE.

[OliScale]

why dont they keep producing this kind of music? 100x better than intimacy

[TheBigBreakdown]

@TheLordZane Read the description.

[joelisapirate]

I really loved discovering Bloc Party. Tracking down all the b-sides and ep tracks felt like some kind of musical journey. And although you feel like it's a great injustice hardly anyone knows these songs exist, you're left with a sort of smug satisfaction that you're one of the ones that does.

[TheBigBreakdown]

@joelisapirate That's exactly why I love b-sides and demos.

[stoneflagg]

@joelisapirate i cannot find skeleton for anything to put on my ipod this sucks!!!

[SSSSSS45076]

Sounds like, luno....

[SSSSSS45076]

I wanna drum like that.

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[SilentBombr]

Who does the backing vocals on this song, is it Matt??

[LittleBuster89]

@SilentBombr Gordy

[YungChiHung]

i rage dance to this song haha

[RawTranquility]

So much nostalgia.

[oxXTiMTiMXxo]

theres actually three versions, ones sped up the others slow and the others slow and kele has a deeper tone and thats my favorite and i cant find it on here.

[RoxWrestling05]

and i've been consistent to the f**king dream and i've paid my dues just to get them all back..

[kickonification]

This version is way better than the slower one

[WildSide91]

My cousin showed me this song.

It was a very important part of my life.

[GGrzeslaw]

its like every bloc party song i hear becomes my favourite one :)

[ejayR]

i don't think i can ever get tired of this song.

[NolanNa1]

All my bones are so tired they told us to wait they said . . . .oooooooooo boom!

Great song.

[splinter360]

Love this song, represents everything thats great about this band.

[loicnerzuhl]

Thank god , the fourth album is apparently on the way !

I need my fix !

[gloednieuwer]

Has the creator sped up the song? It sounds like they're on speed.

[TheBigBreakdown]

@gloednieuwer Yeah there are two different versions of the song, a slower and faster one. I'm not really sure why.

[5L3YXC0R]

@gloednieuwer

no its normal

they are awesome

[VOSTY23]

Im Just A Skeleton

[Silverstein4]

I love the way how the bass harmonizes with guitar <3

[Ball1nX3]

Theres just one serious flaw with this song, 3 minutes isn't long enough...

[123mehmehmeh]

why did they go electronic and then why did kele go solo? ah maaaan :(

[asdqweyxcify]

how many albums has bloc party? and wichs? please, i need a answer thank you!

[TheBigBreakdown]

@asdqweyxcify They have three full-length albums (Silent Alarm, A Weekend In The City, and Intimacy). If by "and wichs" you mean which one has Hunting for Witches, that'd be A Weekend In The City.

[asdqweyxcify]

@TheBigBreakdown okei thank you

[UltraGanjagirl420]

@TheBigBreakdown your forgetting silent alarm remix which is just that silent alarm remixed

[TheBigBreakdown]

@UltraGanjagirl420 I guess, I just never really listened to it more than once. There's also an Intimacy remix album.

[Maho2109]

@asdqweyxcify there is a little thing called google & wikipedia...

[dlwatso15]

These guys used to be soooooo good.

[splinter360]

@dlwatso15 used to be???

[dlwatso15]

@splinter360 I dont like their new stuff to be honest.

[mondaymistymonday]

Wow. I`m so happy that i find it now, when BP is finally gone in electronics. True Silent Alarm sound )))))

[ForgottenSoul700]

I could make love to the singer :)

[Pancakesatthedisco]

hyghf

[ghostjj45]

epick my friend marilyn likes this song :L

[nanodraft1]

<3 makes me cry godd thiss soonngg iss EEEPPPIICCC!!!!!!!

[pandacat17]

if only all their songs sounded this good before being remixed

[jackuhmoe]

This song is eargasmic. Not only does it sound great, but it hits deep into my soul! lol

[bengochea64]

On the Silent Alarm album, they should of replaced this song with Compliments, lol

[Pancakesatthedisco]

@bengochea64 jojyt

[Pancakesatthedisco]

@bengochea64 no actually kele has said that he would have preferred this song to be on silent alarm instead of luno

[tikalfan]

My fave Bloc Party song <3

[bloc22]

the first bloc song i ever heard

[AContusionInside]

Loving the bass

[demfalcons08]

anybody has an instrumental version of this song skeletoN?? please

[TheBigBreakdown]

@demfalcons08 Take the song and put it into Audacity. Use the Vocal Remover. Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it's shit.

[demfalcons08]

@TheBigBreakdown i'll try, thanks 

[wartree]

@TheBigBreakdown it only works for central panned vocals, i think this track is a good candidate.

[ellieduh22]

this has been my favorite song for a long time now

i cant get tired of it :)

[goldenfishaa]

Holy shit..This song just took indie rock to the extreme. Its sounds like kele and russel's telecasters went out and partied in vegas. In the middle of the night they picked up matt's drums and gordan's bass. Then they found the pick of destiny and instantly found their way back to their owners, then created the greatest song in the history if indie rock

[Joe2493]

WHO WOULD DISLIKE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!

[pvcToan]

@Joe2493 9 VERY stupid people

[AbdiXL]

It makes a man out of me!

It makes a man out of me!

It makes a man out of me!

[FlegsFate]

In my opinion the best song from bloc party!....jep!

[JayAntoinette]

This is possibly one of my fave Bloc Party songs.

[EmilyRose9673]

@kingedd42 YouTube converter

[MrPatotas67]

Oh I remember when I was young, I used to play the drums in a band.

[kingedd42]

Please! how do i get this on my ipod!

[H3r0oftheday0622]

@kingedd42 not be fucking retarded

[Thecrash456456]

If you can, I would join Bloc party.

[TahwistedFiahstatah]

I can't believe I claim to be a Bloc Party aficionado when I had never even attempted to listen to the B-sides before this. This is literally the most beautiful song I've ever heard and I'm ashamed I've ignored it for so long.

[flyawayhome3]

@TahwistedFiahstatah I was sort of the opposite, I loved this song for ages but never really listened to any of their other stuff. This song is still my favourite, but I am so glad that I did finally man up and listen to Bloc Party properly.

Also your name is brilliant.

[Sleepyabess]

who cares? matt is the best drummer on earth and kele writes great lyrics-so what

[millsbag]

@Sleepyabess travis barker

[metallicamaiden01234]

@Sleepyabess far from best but amazingly good

[sven888k]

Bloc Party have like only good songs, i have been listing to them for years now. Freaking best band ever

[speraza53]

one of the top 10 best bloc's songs..... with luno, halo, banquet, kreuzberg......

[ModrnDaeArtemis]

The drums are impeccable in this song.

[andremala91]

this is simply my fuckin' prefear song ever!!

[GEORGEONZA]

8 people missed the like button :) (Y)

[francismanansus]

if you like Block Party, check out Tokyo Police Club's new album CHAMP. You can download a free mp3 off of their main webpage. Definitely worth a listen!

[themano55]

only ever play this live in London :)

[fc93hesper]

All my thoughts are all lies

[jordan32none]

I love Bloc Party but after listening to this I can safely say they're the best band ever.

*buys entire b side/rare discography*

[LolitaAngel]

I love this son so much.

Why is every one getting ancy over who writes what? They're a band, they work together and they create something beautiful. Why does who has more input over what matter?

Just enjoy the damn song!

=P

[FLOORDUHH]

this song makes me wanna run as fast as i can for as far as possible....

[rutzen21]

@FLOORDUHH wow, I feel the same way,and I actually do it too

[lolh4x]

Matt Tong writes his own beats, as do most drummers.. It's common knowledge.. I imagine Kele gives him much imput and suggestions and things like that but I highly doubt he writes Matt's whole part.

[zerouzaria]

All my thoughts are all lies

All my thoughts are all lies**

[zestytoaster]

this song is so boss

[17angeldew7]

bloc party for ever

[dunefall]

All my thoughts are of ice

All my thoughts are of ice

All my bones are so tired

All my bones are so tired

So young and so handsome

So easily led

They told me to wait

I said

It makes a man out of me

You take the fun out of me

[dunefall]

And I've been consistent to the fucking dream And I've paid my dues Just to get them all back A simple man with simple desire What should i have said? What should i have done? The horses are here The damage is done So just take off your shirt And just take off your dress We can go dancing On a Saturday It makes a man out of me You take the fun out of me

[dunefall]

And I've been consistent to the fucking dream

And I've paid my dues

Just to get them all back

A simple man with simple desire

I'm just a skeleton

And I've been consistent to the fucking dream

And I've paid my dues

Just to get them all back

A simple man with simple desire

I'm just a skeleton

[samfishowen]

Kele is doing a solo set at Reading this year on the NME stage. He's never going to stop writing songs, regardless if the band have breaks or not. He lives off doing it.

[JukesSB]

@samfishowen except his solo stuff is shit...

[RedWarrant]

I don't get the guitar part, I play it one way and it's too low a pitch, I play one fret higher, and it's too high. Sounds pretty gross. Anyone know the tuning for this??

[morbidlyobese88]

i find that most bloc songs sound wrong until you add that second guitar and then you'll be straight

[RedWarrant]

@morbidlyobese88 maybe your right, I dunno because it's the first part where it's just guiter 1 and the bass, it sounds horrible. But maybe yoour right, I'll try a looper.

[sothpoleecko]

dam drum are kicken :D

[Bgonzales8709]

Not on iTunes, only on UK release of the album "Helicopter"

[Seagerash]

sick drums

[Frozzog]

Bloc Party, it would be fantastic if you came to Sweden.

[ciburaska]

yeah the drums are amazing!

[wikywhat]

FUCKING AMAZING SONG!

[MrYob21]

Can you get this song on itunes what album is it on?

[wikywhat]

The album entitled "Limewire"

[realist449]

@MrYob21 its the b-side to Helicopter not sure if its on itunes

[Derin88]

Matt Tong can drum like a machine.

[cubanzombie]

i fail to see how this didnt make silent alarm.

[grayman802]

@cubanzombie ya I know

[claymanzd616]

@cubanzombie

totally agree with you on this one

I cant believe that this song doesnt have a video

[raviq11]

absolutely cool song!

[zlotuweczka]

love it ...

[Generationxxxxxxx]

this song is amazing, i cant stop listening to it :)

[aussieboy90]

yes kele is the main songwriter, but that does not mean he lays down every single arrangment for every single instrument

all of matts beats are his own, kele writes the lyrics, gordy bass, russell guitar etc

kele actually stated that russell wrote most of the melodies to the songs off a weekend in the city

they are all very smart and talented boys

[joru100]

anyone else feel that this song is influenced very much by This Charming Man ? the lyrics and guitar sound very similar during the chorus .

[ryhno121]

Yea, I can see that.

[Bgonzales8709]

Awsome song, but only released in the UK :\

[djarky]

Its not about whom we should be grateful of..

They are a fucking 'band' made of 4 members.

Im pretty sure, they all contribute for their success.

[GreenTripJinx]

man guys whatever each of them does for the band together they're awesome and if they get along everything is fine, isn't it?

[tony9891]

me n my m8s wnt dressed as skeletons at october gig, it was mint

[meISnotAcommie]

Wish they hadn't retired it from live set-lists

[Pocoyo3010]

this song sounds faster than the one i have, is it me or this video??

[TheBigBreakdown]

Yeah, there are two slightly different versions. One is just a bit faster.

[Sleepyabess]

is it true that they will break up????

[TheBigBreakdown]

It was speculated, but Kele told a crowd at a recent show that they would be playing for many more years. So I doubt it.

[briman10is]

this band wouldn't stand out if it wasnt for the drummer. He has some great beats.

[JulOyt]

Kele is the one who song writes most of the beats and melodies. Matt just plays it. Kele is the one we should all be greatful.

[TheBigBreakdown]

..Prove to me that Kele writes Matt's drum parts.

[JulOyt]

My best answer is that I haven't read any interview that Matt Tong alone song writes his own beats.

[TheBigBreakdown]

I haven't read any interview that says he doesn't either. I'm not trying to pick it up, but you're making a sort of random claim.

[JulOyt]

It's not a random claim. Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't Kele a songwriter, hence the songwriter writes most of the notes the notes for each instrument.

[TheBigBreakdown]

I think he's just the lyricist. Maybe he does but that seems unlikely.
