[raephun]

Loved this song since 2000. I miss these guys.

[cal31BRIAN23]

SICK lyrics, my first time actually looking up the lyrics. GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[89brewers]

[whocaresanyway12]

The Part that starts at 3:47 gives me shivers.

[alavora]

I hope all the neigbourhood likes this song

Fear of love. :l

@ItsNicolebaybie2011

On some level yes, on some level its also about realizing that there is someone out there afterwards and the new kiss you have been working for so long is worth it all. :)

[ronniedillon]

This song never fails to make me misty-eyed. Thanks for posting it.

[quaecky]

a scottish poem over grungy bass and drums... Exquisite

[troppopoco]

English is not my mother language. Can someone please explain me what happens really?

[Nergash2]

Just got the boxset and I love them more and more with each listen.

[Morganlikescats]

lyrical genius

[ScreamingxCookie]

I really like the atmosphere and the music that this band make. But i've buy this album first, and start earing the lyrics. I really doesn't like them. But still an awesome band, 5/5 by the way!

[Newtonstewart]

Cheers for posting this. I love the calm way it develops like a heart beating. Awesome piece of kit!

[bytesize]

Beautiful. I love how this video has 55 likes, and 0 dislikes. Perfection!

The triumvirate of Arab Strap, Mogwai & The Delgados were/still are pretty amazing. Saw Arab Strap & Mogwai twice - The Delgados once. All gigs were very special to me - I will never tire of their music.

[taimursheikh]

i just discovered the band. really amazing music, so personal....thanks alot!

[thatfunkymilk]

live version is better

[BenCovus1983]

This might seem a little extreme to others but i honestly feel this may be in my opinion the greatest love song ever written!!!

[endorphins1]

just an incredible band=) very uniqe just like this song..such a pitty that they arent together anymore

[andaddd]

Amazingly good song. Perfect lyrics.

[CrazyNative4]

cool song

[frannyannyetta]

arab strap are so fucking chilled.

[b0n60r]

@frannyannyetta

Chilled? Downbeat maybe, but their lyrics are too bleak and raw to chill me out. Love their music though. :o)

[angaxl]

Estoy a punto del colapso, que gran canción. La mejor banda del mundo.

[itosamja]

i'd love to hear "blood"..again and again

[puentez]

aw man-- this version is different, and he doesn't say "but it was shit." the whole idea of him dressing up for a wedding, then leaving because it's a lame party and just heading back to the pub-- pure Arab Strap

[puentez]

you mis-quoted one of the best Arab Strap lyrics!

"but one night you got dressed up and you went to a wedding, but it was shit, so you went back to the pub...."

amazing

[juliosammy]

[paulb412]

The front cover on 'Philophobia's artwork was done by Jack Wilkins......hope that helps you mate... Great track eh? Falkirk boys.

[RhodeIsland75]

loved the bit in the middle, the picture's really interesting too, does anyone know who painted it?

[johanisk]

hi

picture was done by a Glasgow artist called Marianne Greated. Nice lady, mad as a brush. She also did one of Aidan.

[jc0503132]

Great track

[vintagedeath]

arab strap will always have a place in my heart. the first song i ever heard from them was screaming in the trees. i was obsessed with them for years. arab strap is one of bright eyes' favorite bands. and i can see why.

[sodisco]

This is probably my all time favorite song. I love it so much. I've been listening to it every time I want to feel something strong for years now and it works every time. The words "emotional rainbow" describe it perefectly :)

[garybh2112]
