  • This song is genuis. The whole album is one of the strongest I've ever heard. Instant classic!

  • damn this dude sounds alot like the lead singer from the editors, tom smith

  • the guitar in this is sort of arctic monkeys/last shadow puppets-esque, i like it.

  • The lyrics are like the plot from "Ghost".

  • reminds me of like interpol

  • good song, simple, to the point, and powerful.

  • My favorite song from them!

  • don't touch the ice cream

  • woot!

  • bella sta canzone mi piace sto gruppo

  • this is awsome!! They sound like a mix between Interpol & The Editors :)

  • i REALLY LOVE THIS SONG!!!

    xoxo

    PJ's

  • Love it!

    They're great! :)

  • They're amazing!

    Great live aswell. . . . :)

  • god, this is my favorite band EVER. I swear, I love them sooo much....

  • just discovered the band

    and fuckin' love it!!!

  • honestly, who cares what they sound like?? they sound like my stereos now and future high rotation--fucken nice distilling of so much beforehand sounds--these guys are their own thing tho-fucking great!!

  • I AGREEE! thats all i keep reading and its annoying. just enjoy the music! i mean it makes us all happy! who cares about how similar they sound like! this song is awesome and others from white lies are good! the end!

  • I believe in a few years time this band will be huge.

  • very precocious band, its really pretty brilliant, in that somber and dirge-toned brand we love of other post-punk revival bands

    i think harry's grimace says it all, so poignant and anxious like these songs are

    theyre just so genuine, and u can see it from miles

    these guys r the sound for the start of my 2009

    theyll prob be the band that makes coachella for me

  • yeah, I'm really pumped to see these guys at coachella too.  Should be fun =)

  • Just started listening to these guys and love em! Definitely can hear Interpol/JD/Editors even some Inspiral Carpets there. Unfortunately I don't think they'll be coming to Oz anytime soon! Bah!

  • Amazing song. Who's the girl who is singing ? Is that version out anywhere ?

  • I totally agree, they have their unique sound with a touch of JD, DM, E&TB, Interpoll, dark wave, industrial sound. What n amazing band. I cannot believe it that someone as fresh as these guys r making this late 70's, 80's music. Smashing!!

  • connect the dots

  • random brilliance

  • is it the same as brilliant randomness?

  • Comment removed

  • virgin

  • great mixture of interpol, editors, joy division and their own dark melodic tone, yeah!

  • yes i totally agree- dont forget to add depeche mode to that list too! They seem to be influenced by alot of my favourite bands...

  • mi ricorda la mia generazione. OTTIMO VIDEO E STUPENDA CANZONE

  • fu**ing amazing

  • wellllllll...i love editors, i love 80's, i love indie/rock music, i love powerful lyrics and i love imaginitive and different music. MAYBE thats why i love white liesssss so muchos with a passionnnnn :)

  • Does anyone know the full list of songs that white lies sang at the snow patrol concert on da 28-02??? They wer brilliant

  • I love this band! ! ! ! ! ! !

    And this song is really beautiful

  • LOOOOVVVEEEEEEEEE this song

  • saw them supportin Snow Patrol last night in Dublin and was well impressed!

  • So did I! i was about 3 rows 4rm da front..it was an unreal concert! White lies are class too!

  • It's "Get OFF your low"

    Or that's what the digital booklet says, i'd go by that. :)

    Love this song so much.

  • Whats This Song Actually About ?? Lovege!!!!!!

  • The 80's are back !!! (not a bad thing !)

  • Comment removed

  • What band can you tip me if I love this one?

  • yes, their compared a lot with Editors, wich I can understand, both are great!

  • true.

  • this is absolutely amazing live

    :D i love white lies so much

  • nice but lorelayne(dot)com is better

  • the lyrics say "get of your low" sounds like "get OFF your low". What is it?

  • i shouted with passion 'i love you so much'

  • One of the most amazing songs ever (L)

  • i thought it was about a suicide pact that the guy doesn`t go through with.

  • good song still nt as good as the other they have done (Y)

  • not as good as other songs of theirs in my opinion =D

  • would like this man to be singin in my shower every morning..

    LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • well aren't you just little miss fantastic

  • get th fudge out of here, u serious?

  • sono bravissimi....quando vengono in italia??????mi piaciono tantissimo

  • awesomeeee =)

    saw them at NME seeing them in may too!!!

    quality song

  • fabianandhazel - why is that lyric dubious?

  • i like white lies, but must admit the lyric " youve got blood on your hands and i know its mine" hmmm dubious. but apart from that for a bunch of young guys they are brilliant!!!

  • Why is that dubious?

  • why is dubious??? he talks metaphorially...i think is a great part of the song's lyrics and he refers to the pain n' sacrifice that comes from his side...

  • The song is about a man who is murdered by his girlfriend with a pair of scissors. Throughout the song, he gradually realises that he is a ghost, and at first he want to haunt her, but then realises that he still loves her.

  • the chick in this looks like the girl in the control movie.

  • Thats my sister ¬¬

  • Great band, great lyrics, seeing them live in may!

  • The sounds a bit crap on this video. QUality song though; FANTASTIC band.

  • saw them at Newcastle Carling last night NME Tour FAB!!!!

  • thought they were rather good at forum on tuesday!

  • im loving the toms haha any other drummers agree? lol

  • If you like toms, check out our song 'Flashbulbs' mate - link via our youtube vid!

  • hey what did people think of them at the forum? they were really shy n the sounds was shit on some of the songs but pretty good show non the less. really got me into them.

  • hm sounds like interpol

  • Ehm. No.

  • Don't care much for the video...

    The band, on the other hand, are EPIC! :D

  • editors

  • dont get me wrong, they are still better than most chart crap. going to see em on tuesday so will see how good they are live.

  • Tuesday in Tunbridge Wells? See you there!

  • saw them at XFM winter wonderland along with kaiser chiefs and Iglu and Hartly on the 3rd/12th they are brilliant live but only did a few song as the album wasnt released gonna buy the album soon!!!

  • YES! 8 quid for a ticket. absolutely awesome. will be there later on!

  • i lve ths band!!! xx

  • This music is GREAT !!!

  • wot date is it today?  have we all been transported back to 1983? this could have been a hit for A Flock of Seagulls... calm down kiddies coz this is not the future this is wot the charts was full of over 25yrs ago. if u like this go & check out joy division/ new order, human league, gary numan & ultravox

  • i love this band!!!!!!

  • Saw them in Kingston 21.1.09. Front row.

    OMGTHEYRULE:D:D:D

  • Yes people Interpol rule!!!

    not even fit to tune their guitars latest photo

    shows bass player with moustache just like

    carlos D

  • 29 jan liverpool seein em

  • lucky you! I can't even buy their album yet cause i'm stuck here in the states. Oh well, at least I'm seeing the killers on the 28th whom I love even more

  • This is excellent and the guy who is singing the praises of Interpol needs to realise all they are is a homage band to the original and best 'Joy Division'. None of these bands are original after them !!!!

  • my opinion...overated. No way should should they be compared to the likes of arcade fire or interpol which i have read in reviews

  • They are really, really good. Fabulous songs.

  • You're retarded...

  • lol your a musician

  • yeaah so i guess i would have a decent idea as to "what the hype is about"

  • Sounds like that song from Arcade Fire.

  • Fab fab fab

  • is there album already out!? i thought it came out 20th or summat

  • pre ordered off itunes and got three free songs! ACE! Gonna be popular later in the year

    danke, is aber erst im märz:(

  • es geht noch schlimmer ^^ ich muss bis ende september warten bis ich coldplay wieder sehe... :( lg

  • this is one of my fave songs a the moment it is just sooo cool!

  • one of the greatest'08

  • what a band, love the build up in this song and the lyrics are so nice

  • agreed

  • i saw these guys support glasvegas in dublin last wkend and they were unreal. just superb. i'd defo go see them again.

  • Ah man, that must of been so beautiful. I didn't even know they were playing. I would of totally gone, even though I'm broke and can't find the time off work. It's going to be ages before they come back to play again. Two absolutely awesome bands.

  • I saw them support Glasvegas at the Barrowlands on 16/12, and I must say they were one of the best support bands I've ever seen.

    Daily Record described them today (29/12) as the missing link between The Killers and Editors.

  • saw this band when they were known as 'Fear of Flying' and they were brilliant then! They are just going from strength to strength now as well. I have a signed single from the FOF days, but can't find any of their other tunes any more :(

  • ive got a few I could e-mail you if you want?

  • I got their setlist from the Barras :)

    they only did 6 songs :P

  • When it kicks in at 1:16 and his voice changes, that bit gives me chills.

  • Awesome song <3

    White lies are awesome too.

  • Seeing them tonight in Newcastle supporting Glasvegas. Sound canny.

  • Love the song. I saw a programme on channel 4 just now and it was the lead singer doing a solo piano version of this song but i cant find anything to do with it on the net. Any ideas?

  • I was looking for that too, but i cant find it anywhere!?:(

  • The sound is basically lifted from Teardrop Explodes / Julian Cope, but that's not a bad place to steal your sound. Good stuff.

  • Saw these at Sheffield supporting Glasvegas and they were fantastic0 gotta see these guys again.

  • supported glasvages lst nite at leeds met both absolute quality GERALDINE

  • No bullshit, James Allan pointed RIGHT at me during Geraldine, I was right at the front. It made my night, and we met Caroline (Drummer) Rab (Guitarist) and Geraldine (Sells Merchandise) Great gig, White Lies are superb.

  • great song!!!! saw them the other night supportin Glasvegas and they were immense! Album isnt out till Jan though :a

  • lol i was there as well

    did anyone else see the reli big guy who knew all the words nd who was dancing near the stage sooooo funny

    xxx

  • did he av long blonde hair and was rockin his ed lol ???

  • 2 parts Franz Ferdinand, 1 part Interpol. And their webpage brings my computer to a crawl, anyone else?

  • How about 2 parts early Pulp? ala Freaks?

  • try referencing and listening to a band that all of these bands are influenced by....echo and the bunnymen & joy division. if you're only 15-20 yrs old its ok...but go out and pick up some echo and some joy division.

  • Franz and Interpol? I think you mean Joy Division.

  • I'm so in love with Harry.  My God he is so hot in a very dark way.

  • Saw them last night when they were support act for Glasvegas..AMAZING!! This is the best song but i love 'Death' too :)

  • Wow, wow, wow... when do they come to germany? Love this song so much!!!

  • I just saw them at Koko, AWESOME!!!!

  • really beautiful...live version is even better! i love them!

  • amazing

  • Bringing back the eighties in one song... These guys are heroes

  • uy mmmmmmmm

  • i love this

  • For me, it sounds a little bit more like Sad Lovers and Giants. Joy Division is really darker and more punk in the same time to compare. I'm happy all that young bands reissuing (is it english ?) the old sound...i don't feel old fashioned for my neighbours when i put a Taxi Girl, Marquis de Sade, Ubik (no, no, it's not advertisement for new-wave french bands...), Killing Joke or The Sound CD on. :)

  • I didn't know that Tom brady was the lead singer of a band...Morrisey part Deaux...aka The White Cure.

  • Holy stars, am going to pray that they do not change there style of singing. To fit the likings of all these crap bands.

    They sound like Echo and The Bunnymen and have the feel of Joy Division. Which is AMAZING.

  • いいですね。interpolの様であり、イントロはroxy music のような切なさを醸し出してますね!

  • Le groupe a de l'avenir , vivement les prochains morceaux ...

  • i saw them at fujirock08 in jp.

    they are too cool

  • que brava está la canción!

  • a gothic lolita?

  • Reminds me of the Bunnymen, hello Ian..

  • yeah charles and me where best friends growing up and jack was in my class so i cant wait to see what they'll release next keep it up guys im rooting for you

  • the lead singer is my sister's best friend's brother!!!!

    absolutely loove this song!!

  • Man I LOVE THIS SONG. Creepy and macabre yet heartfelt at the same time.

    It's rather possessive, from that first line, it snags you,, and then it builds to the end.

    Me gustaria verlos en vivo
