Alt-J ∆ - Matilda

[MrCornBeak]

The N.M.E (shit) review of this song: "Alt-J aren’t really called Alt-J, they’re called ?, which is apparently what happens when you hold down Alt + J on a Mac computer. Not that I would know or anything, because I’m a PC and therefore fucking loathe Macs. So, ?, now that you’ve got our attention, what is it you wanted to hear? That ‘Matilda’ sounds like Live Lounge-sessioncore fronted by a duck on Rohypnol? Did Steve Jobs die for nothing?" I can't even comprehend that. What a SHIT review!

[MrCornBeak]

@MrCornBeak That is so TYPICAL of the NME. I bet you any money that if this band start doing well, the NME will be the FIRST to be firmly plated in their arses. Great song.

[TheJoeFaulkner]

favorite sound favorite film <3 impressed

[aldridge358]

took me 4 hours to find this well worth the search

[MrKingnob]

I know that everyone is saying watch 'Leon' yes it makes sense that its about Leon but if you notice that Natalie Portman plays the role of 'Mathilda' not Matilda, If the song was about 'Leon' then the song would of been called 'Mathilda'

[SAMBISHOP8]

@MrKingnob it is about the girl out of Leon, he was speaking to Radio 1 the other day and said it.

[Evilred8u]

this is loverly

[lewigimole]

[lewigimole]

@Evilred8u not letting you get away with that one.

[joydivnufc]

[redcavalie]

[ivebeenburnin]

@theflightyellz This is from

This is from

This is from Matilda

Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on.

Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss.

My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success.

[lewigimole]

there is something hypnotic about this song... it sounds otherworldly somehow.

[joloppy]

I cant stop listening to this song...I'm not even sure how it makes me feel...nostalgic, melancholic...19 times in one evening and still going strong!

[FignaBourgi]

Why can I not stop listening to this song?

[mikemoseley]

@FignaBourgi OCD? :P

[xDavieSx]

@theflightyellz "put the grenade pin in your hand so you understand who's boss" :) let it plague you no more

[mattmacmanus]

I want the guitar tabs for this!!

[mattmacmanus]

This is amazing!

[22twoswans22]

This tune will appear in a big movie soon, i'm sure. Beaut.

[22twoswans22]

@theflightyellz ahah so true, a baked bean in your hand!! ahaha

[Kimrok40]

lol at Huw Stephens comparing this song to Roald Dahl's "Matilda". I love Leon, brilliant scene.

[xDavieSx]

@theflightyellz some things can't be unheard XD

[c3c78b98]

Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on.

Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss.

My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success

[Technolokron]

@theflightyellz I think it's "put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss."

[hundog03]

This will be a massive pop song but I prefer Fitzpleasure especially the drop at 0.27 :-)

[HattonGames]

@theflightyellz lmao it actually does sound exactly like that

[tillytheelk]

I wish someone knew what the lyrics were?

This song is incredible.

[Technolokron]

@tillytheelk Ok, so from countless repeats I think I've got that the lyrics are:

"This is from, this is from, this is from Matilda.

Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on.

Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss.

My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success.

This is from, this is from, this is from Matilda.

And she needs you, this is from Matilda."

[theflightyellz]

@Technolokron That sounds pretty much dead on with it being a Leon movie reference, final fight against the main villain Leon hands him a grenade pin and says "This is from Matilda"

Interesting reference to Johnny Flynn's The Wrote and the Writ as well : )

[tillytheelk]

@Technolokron hahaha thank-you... I still can't hear 'Johnny Flynn' at all, but other than that I think you've got it spot on (':

[Technolokron]

@tillytheelk No problem, thanks! Haha. I thought it was Donovan for aages haha, then I thought Jonathan, but Johnny Flynn makes the most sense as "the breath I've taken and the one I must" is a line from Johnny Flynn's song The Wrote And The Writ.

[tillytheelk]

@Technolokron I thought it was something like 'the dying man' but it's nicer if it's a Johnny Flynn reference (:

[serendipit4]

Utter shite. Uncle Paedo on lead vocals.

[therealclaimor]

Thought it was June..... either way, cant wait. Fitzpleasure is simply huge.

[jessicaharvey1991]

Do they have an album? I'm struggling to find much!

[somerandomguy5184]

How?! Just how can you dislike this song?!

[ThoseHeavyPeople]

Anyone know more about this band?

[JustDontRobMe]

@ThoseHeavyPeople Good old Fearn Cotton (Fern? Fearne?) was playing them on Radio 1 just now, she mentioned they're working on an album, out in March I think.

[benandjerrysrules]

thank radio one

[somerandomguy5184]

Woah. Awkward. Finding a song with your name as the title after your friend posted it on Facebook with the title 'Best song evah'... Damn me.

But still, this IS a good song. xD

[InbetweenMindStates]
