This song is so beautiful and it gives me a lot of hope. Coming from a disadvantaged and financially broken background, while hating the materialism and wanting only comfort...this song gives a lot of hope and meaning.
Ehh.thanks.open your world,see it in all it's intracies,so spelt meant nothing for your beat beat stoke forever and nothing is to say close ,so long and so close when love is,love bodies,they love minds,none of us escape for all thought is us,now we go ,forever as all your love ,is it hard to imagine.
NO its a tocken of understanding to people, 'I know the those who say dreams are gust dreams' and other things they say but it is gust telling flaws and perspectives in life and other things that take stuff to get, Hope I didn't bore u with this comment
I just saw this Video on NewNowNext. It excites me when I find music THIS good out there that I had no idea about. Over the last few days I have become a HUGE fan!
Best band in the world right now...No doubt about it. This is what should be played on mainstream radio...instead of the soulless crap that does get played.
very true, but at the same time i'm glad this and many others are not cuz then it would be tarnished by the masses and molested on continuous non variety playlists over and over. when its out on its own its nice, cuz when it comes around, its like a gem in music, rare, but beautiful while it lasts.
I'm a little lost on that reply. Not because I dont know who it's to, obviously me, but because I never left a comment here to be replied to. lol help me out a bit to remember if u can please.
@macphistomo In Europe stuff like this is played on the radio. I think an unfortunate by product of the American profit-obsessed capitalistic approach to music is a sort of "quantity over quality" mass production of music that preys on the gullible masses. Our top 40 is embarrassingly bad, but it still rakes in millions of dollars.
@macphistomo I blame lack of education. Most people with any kind of classical training--whether in voice, piano, or guitar--have better taste in music than those who don't. If children received proper music education, they'd be happier and more creative (Plato might even argue that they'd be more "moral"). But most importantly, none of the garbage in top 40 radio would find a market anywhere.
@apollothemighty Interesting point...I would be of the opinion that all you need is just a hint of exposure to something different - something a little bit more adventurous than what usually populates the top 40 and then possibly, hopefully, you'll start to seek the more alternative stuff out...Regardless of age. 'Alternative' may not even be the right word, just music with a bit of soul, inventiveness and passion behind it.
@macphistomo This point of view of yours implies that there is hope for those who did not receive musical education early on, and for those well into adulthood who have the disease of poor taste. I want to believe you are right, because I want there to be hope for them. But I can't except a statement only because I like its implications. I have to think it through logically to determine whether I agree. Thanks for the food for thought. I'll get back to you.
@apollothemighty Poor spelling! I can't possibly take you seriously now! Hey man, my spelling is atrocious at the best of times...especially when I get very passionate about something. I can only say from my own experience that you don't really need a musical education early on (it would probably help though) in life in order to appreciate great music. Then again when I listen to My Bloody Valentine or Mogwai I hear something marvellous and some others just hear noise. What ya gonna do?
@macphistomo Would you not agree that one who is characterized as having good taste must not only approve what is good, but disapprove of what is bad? Some people are transition, I suppose. When I first heard My Bloody Valentine I didn't immediately get rid of everything inferior in my CD collection. It took time. But the process had begun. This anecdote supports your view. I think there is hope for people with bad taste...
@apollothemighty I would agree with you to a certain degree though...For example, I was/am a big U2 fan (I would characterize it as love/hate) but only of their 80's and 90s work. For the most part, with one or two exceptions, anything post 2000 is just plain bad and I would say if you like their post 2000 material, you need an ear transplant! A lot of my friends, however, just hate U2 full stop ( but I'm convinced that's a Bono thing though). They thoroughly disapprove of me liking them.
@macphistomo But what I find disturbing is people who like good music, but can't seem to discern the difference between it and horrible music. For example, I know a girl who likes The Cure and Belle and Sebastian (reasonably good, though not everyone's cup of tea) and Maroon 5 (gasp!). The name of that band is almost a four-letter word. When I have kids, they won't be allowed to say that name. And she doesn't like them in a campy, ironic kind of way, either. She actually thinks it's good.
@macphistomo I have been having the most pleasant, civil discussions with people on Youtube lately! Whatever happened to flame wars? "I don't agree!" "Well ur a fag!" "Yeah? Up yours, dillweed!" Is the Youtube community becoming more mature on the whole, or have I just been really lucky in avoiding meatheads the last several months?
@apollothemighty A-ha, that's because you're commenting on a SViiB song...only well-balanced, conscientious and decent folks listen to SViiB! Yeah, it's nice to have a reasonable, thought out conversation for a change. I know what you mean about girls liking great and bad stuff simultaneously. I know one who likes The Knife(great obviously) and Jason Derulo...Jason 'I l ike saying my name in every song' Derulo! Weird. Then again, each to his/her own. I wouldn't want to enforce my taste on anyone
@macphistomo But if I could enforce my taste on everyone...Then I'd recommend Sufjan Stevens's 'The Age of Adz' for all. Best thing I'm listening to at the minute. A really beautiful and at times chaotic album. A possible all time favourite for me. I'd also throw in LCD Soundsystem, Frightened Rabbit, SViiB (naturally), Arcade Fire and a new artist called White Sea...Her debut EP 'This Frontier' is available on iTunes and I'd highly recommend you check her out.
@macphistomo I'm very slow to get into new music, or music that is not time-tested. The fallacy in my way of thinking on this matter is, of course, that contemporary music can also be good. I think it's just that I used to praise bands that I now consider to be indulgent or uninspired. I'm embarrassed to say when I was 20 I liked Pedro the Lion and Bright Eyes. Happily, I snapped out of that spell pretty quickly, but the lesson learned was that I should allow my opinions to form slowly...
...through repeated listens. One of my best friends is an unrepentant U2 fan. He recognizes that the newer stuff is practically a guilty pleasure, but he stands by them, anyway. I've liked Sufjan in the past, but I had a girlfriend who kind of burned me out on him. I'm generally stuck on 80s new wave, Brit shoegaze, electronica, and psychedelia. I've been listening to The Telescopes a lot lately.
A lot of their stuff is mediocre, but when they're good they're insanely good.
@macphistomo I will add White Sea to my list of artists to check out. By the way, I have a couple of my own demos posted on my channel, "Sun Child" and "Useful Lives." I'm hoping to release my first, long-anticipated (by like 8 people) album some time in 2011. I'd be curious to know your thoughts on them, if you don't mind giving them a listen.
@apollothemighty Being stuck on 80s New Wave, shoegaze and electronica is no bad thing...I should say when I was about 12 I had a Bon Jovi phase. I seem to remember being particularly struck by the song they did for Young Guns 2. Ah memories. Yeah, I'd be more than happpy to check out your stuff. I think you know where my prejudices fall so take what I say with a pinch of salt. Plus how seriously can you take someone who used to listen to Bon Jovi.
@macphistomo . Could not agree more mate. They are playing ILU on the BBC 6 Music playlist. How I got to hear them (whilst sawdust making in my guitar workshop). Like em a lot, refreshing band, with a shade of the Coctou Twins? I s the David Lowery directing ILU vid the same fro mCVB/Cracker? Great vid as well.
@ooooswain That's a bit of a leap. I'd plum for The National or Frightened Rabbit myself. Until The Knife or Crystal Castles have a new album out that is...
This has been flagged as spam show
Their sound is nice, but it is totally derivative from the Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine. Go to the source, everybody.
