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!
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!
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!!
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 :)
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 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.
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.
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!!!
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
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 !!!!
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.
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 :(
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?
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.
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.
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. :)
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

I heard this band at leeds festival this year by an off chance and they were 10/10 no doubt one of the best live acts ive seen ... i heard 6 songs and all of them mezromised me .. the singers voice is so unique and the music is mellow and chilled when they release their first album it wont be anything short of amazing .. im going to see them at night & day in manchester on monday i loved them so much
