SPARKADIA: Talking Like I'm Falling Down Stairs

[SnowCocoaCookie]

WHY ISN'T HE MORE POPULAR!?!

-In the US and will legit find a way to purchase one of the albums.-

@_@"

[jamabar]

what are the meanings to the lyrics? they're amazing but don't understand exactly what it means.

[mikenpm]

Nice track, chorus in tone is a little similar to Nelly Furtado's 'All Good Things (Come To An End)".

[rachaelg33]

This Song Is Used On Home And Away :)

[THEGRIMREAPER5650]

SeRiOuS LaGg!1!

[jbfromalbury]

Nice.....

[TheSuperbiasqualo]

GENIUS LYRICS AND MUSIC - MAGIC

[Probieboss]

Dat hair ;)

[teodora776]

Good band, great songs

[CIancyy]

Deadly video.

[sparty182]

Superb lyrics,crackin tune...Love it..want more!!!!!

[dazingzingbling]

i can hear Snow Patrols 'you're all i have' in this song....the music to the words ..its so clear now that you are all that i have, i have no fear now you are all that i have .... can anyone else? cant wait to see them in Geelong sept 15

[scottywilso]

Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

[gillianmadden]

The tempo, rhythm and chords are the same as "Lost in the Moment"!

[gavwah]

@gillianmadden AND 'Say it right' by Nelly Furtado. I think the people on here claiming 'Musical genius' need to listen to more music. And a lot less Triple J. People don't know what they like, they like what they know.

[mrstrickaable]

unbelievably good song!

[biffskin]

I cant leave a comment, i tried to find the words but they wont surrender.

[chamunda9979]

Dear Sparkadia, please make more music.

[brotherhood984]

saw sparkadia at the zoo in the valley brissy 2009 when they were just getting by,look at them now good going guys

[RangaVision]

i will love them forever<3

[Diamonddusted68]

Very '80s sounding to to me. Love it.

[awesomefordy]

awesome band :) reminds me a little of coldplay, only they are better :)

[FletchH1986]

Love this song, Great band, Loving there second album. Check out another great Australian band I just came across "July Days - Electric Love" if you love this song you will love it.

[kgytr000]

Yeah look, I would LOVE to know why this song has only got 99k views.

[BubbaloneyMusic]

Why can't I buy this in the danish Itunes store?

[e0159742]

This song is truly amazing. The lyrics are intelligent and thought provoking. The music is almost anthemic (as in their song China). Very beautiful. The music reminds me (but is not the same as that) of Tears for Fears (and I think TFF are one of the best bands ever). I am so happy that today I heard China on the radio and decided to look you up on youtube. I found this gem. I’m going to go out and buy the album. I NEED IT.

[McMaffa]

epic track

[vevemon]

I warned you about stairs bro

I told you dog

[31makimba]

Oh my...this song is unbelievable....I don't know what to say...Unbelievable!

[Spurkya]

Wonderful :) 

[maximoeden]

So clear now that you are all that I have, any1 think the same?

[kgytr000]

@maximoeden Yeah I noticed that too haha, but the two songs are completely different. It is only one little section in this song that sounds like Snow Patrol, so it doesn't really matter

[1BustedMyth]

100/10

[insolitak]

I can't resume my outstanding assignments... My brain has just been melted from pure awesome....

[HxCenekid]

I duck, swerve, lose my nerves.

[munibhuh]

What album is this song from?

[ivyleaguerecords]

@munibhuh From Sparkadia's new album The Great Impression. It's out on March 18 in Australia.

[viridae]

@ivyleaguerecords And it's frigging fantastic!

[thegunshow1000]

why not more likes or veiws?. this song is amazing. there shouldnt even be a dislike button on this song.

[ryujio85]

this shoulda have been higher in top 100 but i guess it came out way early and people forgot about it. rock it was a good song but no way in top 5

[Makinwaves02]

yeah bzoi!!

[anitabonghit123]

should of been much higher not no1 but in the top ten

[32oldskool]

I'm in love with this song. Should have been no. 1 in the hottest 100

[mooology]

I'm so glad that he continued not only the bands name, but also their style. :)

[ba1l5w34t]

Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

that is all.

[redsprinter]

go JJJ!!!!

[monda220]

"you don't mean nothin at all to me" nelly furtado. i get it ;0)

[86BENNYG]

singing like a hurricane, dancing like Fred Astaire, walking like a young john wayne...amazing..

[pwninsince92]

[L0GANlocal]

[BluePandada]

i warned you about stairs, bro!!! i told you dog!!!

[AlycDanger]

@BluePandada It keeps happening

[Hubbercub]

The music sounds just like David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes". It wouldn't surprise me if they sampled the music from this song.

[valuepack01]

PLEASE GET NUMBER 1, you know what im talking about.

[ucas9111]

@valuepack01 HOTTEST 100 :D

[skaterwhore123]

[deltavtango]

And another one I heard again a couple of days ago....

Love is the drug by Roxy Music.

[pebbleBOOM]

This music video reminds me a little of Alice in Wonderland x] Great song

[AnkletapBob]

@deltavtango shit, you just tore it apart. I liked this song before you and your referencing skills came along. funny how he muttered to himself that you can't quote something from someone else...

[MrEngleburger]

i wanna smoke machine now :P

[ireadtabloids]

Such a great song! I can't imagina a single song writer not liking it.

[MrBlueJaye]

Great song Alex; your best yet.

[Ghaxaq14]

Top song absolutely fantastic....

[DistrictFiles]

double take... :D

[bazzaroxthisworld]

@nerebeht, only people with a conscience download music legally, which is like noone haha

[ThePoocheese]

i like it alot :)

[GreenElixir]

From 0:48-1.03 the melody sounds almost exactly like Nelly Furtado's Say It Right

[Mayjayy]

@GreenElixir It soooo doess!!!

[MrBornkiller85]

Saw it live, made me wet.

[tjkin2]

The guitar reminds me of Tighten Up by the Black Keys

[DarkestFayt]

Hell yea, this song is awesome

heard it on tripple J 2day and got hooked

[Sempfy]

sweet song

[zgibbles]

tttttttttttriplej :)

[Xylos101]

JJJ is rocking it again!

LOVE JJJ

[nerebeht]

When is this being released in the UK, if at all? If not imma have to illegally download it :~(

[IROUH0201]

Yo doesnt the chorus sound like Snow Patrol's You're all I have??? I cant stop singing the Snow Patrol chorus when the Keyboard Chorus Starts!

But Im digging this song so much.

[nerebeht]

@IROUH0201

You just ever so slightly ruined the song for me. Thanks ¬_¬

[Ijared]

@IROUH0201 yeah agree I kept humming and mixing these two songs.

but still absolutely in love with this one!!!

[jimbo1485]

Fantastic song!

[lookingforatune]

A-Mazing.....

[kingafrokyle]

Awesome tune, this guy knows how to write a pop tune. How great would it be if this video was a collection of people falling down stairs?!

[charlieisqueer]

so clear now that you want us behind you? is it ripping it off a little in the chorus

[europatterson]

2day fm played it tonight! Whats doin?!

[noddytheman]

Walkin' like a young John Wayne, that almost has to be the single most awesome line in any song, ever. Pilgrims.

[1suedonim]

@noddytheman It's actually "Walking like a young John West" Sparkadia is a keen Salmon fisherman .

No biggy , and easy mistake ..

[Likodemus]

@noddytheman Because of that line alone, this song is part of my imaginary "PREACHER" Soundtrack. If not the main title!

[urmregard]

this is SUCH an impressive video for an equally impressive song!

[malachi1984]

Awesome song and video from a brilliant band!

[librem]

It almost sounds a touch like 'ashes to ashes' by David Bowie. I like it :)

[MyUsername156]

parts of this remind me A LOT of james blunt- "1973"

GREAT song however, i love his voice.

[boxsg22]

Guys, this is awesome! I heard it on triple J yesterday... love it.

[32zilla]

yer mate triple JEY

[angiejones88]

completely and utterly in love with this song.... but whats with the film clip?

[AusHipHoppa]

Whaaaaaattt??!?!

Amazing toon :)

[flynn886]

one of the best songs released this year

[flynn886]

one of the best songs released this year

[NeonShadowsx]

The original (Say It Right by Nelly Furtdao) is better. This cover is very flat and lifeless.

[matthewli88]

@NeonShadowsx I lol'd.

[bangbangDero]

LOL @ the JJJ listeners...... thanks Alex & Tom!! awesome track 'Walking like a young John Wayne' sounds like the way my old man walks!! XD 2 thumbs uP!!!

[hazza96]

I'm sorry. I know i'll cop flak for this, but 'talking like i'm falling down stairs' should have been one line in a song.. not stretched into an entire song. Weak songwriting..

[sm24rox]

@hazza96 i think you should read the lyrics...

[tanzeer]

@lavaisfreakinhot relly?! you can do better little cunt muffin?

[little77thistle]

EXCELLENT! Thanks for posting!

[coey64]

@boeing180

Haha just listen to tripple J

[impx0x]

I could listen to this on repeat for days.

[dukalucka]

yea some lines do sound like 'say it right' by Nelly Furtado, it drives me nuts because it reminds me of the other song...

[impx0x]

@dukalucka ARGH YES! I have been trying to figure out where I knew the hook from! Thanks!

[valley93girl]

FINALLY IT COMES ONTO YOUTUBE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS!

[pixieswave]

what a sexy piano!

oh yes and the song is amazing too

[chickenemu]

I adore this song! Sparkadia is superb! We need more under 18 shows though!

[chickenemu]

I adore this song! Sparkadia is superb!

[Ponco42]

overplayed on triplej...but ITS SO GOOD SO IT DOESN'T MATTER

[SonicMrSumo]

outstanding tune!

[herbie37]

I feel like its appreciating the state of the mentally insane. The fun and lack of responsibility of passing through the days as mentally insane...........i feel like that now, my head feels heavy

[herbie37]

I feel like its appreciating being mentally insane. The fun lack of responsibility of passing through the days as mental insane...........i feel like that my head feels heavy

[venomspitterrr]

nelly furtado

[Bazelinez]

There is a sample in here of an old song I can't remember the name of! Its in the chorus....anyone know what it is? Not sure its Snow Patrol like said before but something much older. Its the keyboard section more then anything.

[80lonelydancer08]

@Bazelinez This has been driving me crazy for days but I just can't quite figure it out I feel like it's on the tip of my tongue. I'm sure the keyboard is from an 80's or early 90's song

[pinakanaz]

@80lonelydancer08 Ah the lyrics just wont come, but it is soo there! Your right i know its 80s or early 90s. I know at one bit in the song it goes "oh-ohhhh" backed by a trumpet or something. Grr

[MyUsername156]

@Bazelinez maybe 1973 by james blunt?

[abby991197]

@Bazelinez the piano is from the snow patrol song -you are all that i have.......it is exactly in tune with when the snow patrol guy sings : "its so clear now that you are all that i have"...you can chck it out yourself...

[RantsCOSICK]

@abby991197 Ha! you're right



[tastic88]

i've been waiting ages for some new stuff from these guys! and let's just say it was worth the wait.

[englandexpects77]

Big fan, but it’s been playing on my mind that part of song sounds very familiar. The line ‘Tried to find the words but they won’t surrender’ and the following line (0.49 – 1.02) are then echoed in the piano(?) instrumental section (1.17-1.22). Lovely they are, but very familiar. Then it came to me– tune is identical to chorus of Snow Patrol’s ‘You’re all I have’ –chorus in that is ‘So clear now that you are all that I have’. Deliberate or subconscious? Either way, a top tune

[mdogs92]

@englandexpects77 nah its nelly furtardo

[liis10]

@englandexpects77 there are probably like millions of songs in the world, things are going to sound similar every now and then. this song is so awesome tho!

[eucanlykthis]

i love the replay effect with the continued lipsink. been done before? 

[chubfucka]
