Bloc Party - So Here We Are (Acoustic)

[a8hurley]

I think this is really good and love bloc party. but i don't agree with people who say thatintimacy isnt as good as this song and other old stuff. All good bands grow musically. Music is like a persons personality/self as he grows. No one stays the same throughout their lives, they change. same with bands. they will grow with their music. intimacy i think is a great melodic album and very well done. I love Bloc Party!

[Nedenarb1]

Worth it.

[gnrldfreak09]

I can't get enough of this.



[masterallcock]

man, this song really reminds me of a girl and the great times we shared.

[bethelstonn]

this is beautiful.

[SpinDoctor91]

i love it,Kele gets so emotional with his performances,i really love that.

[jakeceder]

pleeeeaaaase can anyone give me the guitar chords for this song? :)

[georgegabriel9]

@jakeceder revolves around a major and d major for the verse and chorus. pre chorus (i made a vow) goes between E major and D major and then back to A :)

[kaya23996]

@jakeceder

want the tabs too?

[23korky]

ohhh wooooa its so beautiful



[onthewalkoffame]

This version makes me cry like a baby.

[GougedandLeft]

Simply amazing,

so touching.

[suzanneinmiami]

beautiful and very touching

[Appelbanaanmoes]

Awesome,

[QspadeofheartsQ]

he painstakingly hits each note jsut right :]

[InfluencedMonkey]

One of the greatest acoustics I have ever herd!

[gos11387]

man I like his voice live...i wish the recording sounded exactly like this...

[gjmt7tj9]

Who raised the dirty flag?

[ITSMEPAYNO]

1 person doesn't know where he is 

[theParanoidification]

yes Kele is gay but who cares, he has a great voice and is and awesome musician in a great band that's the bit that counts

[EvanMountainWarrior]

@theParanoidification You can type that again!

[Kento617]

@theParanoidification Im reading my bible so then I can learn the truth. I know he's gay too but I really begin to wonder if it's worth stressing over. I want to care for everyone. Romans 1 is the reason why I feel this way. But, I just go to God for guidance so then I want be a blind man leading the blind. I want people to come to Christ but I have to work on my own issues as well. I hope you can understand

[CustosSanktus]

echt n toller song zumindest instrumental^^

[twomenator1]

Nothing on Bieber...

[ShAdOwChAnNeL1]

@twomenator1 you cant be serious?

[fariz90]

@twomenator1 shoo go away

[thebeastwithoutpants]

@twomenator1 obvious troll is obvious

[LiamBamBam]

After a little Googling, Kele is gay and has appeared in many gay magazines

[jamjamjamification]

kele has a wife for all those people sayin he's gay

[thecomfortisnow]

@jamjamjamification naw.man he is openly gay.no wife.

[jamjamjamification]

@thecomfortisnow how come iv heard him chattin bout his wife then?

[Emnor1993]

unlistenable

to beautiful

[jakedawake]

People who say they dont like intimacy obviously havent listened to it enough..thats the genious of it.. Bloc party are the only band truly capable of sending shivers down my spine xD

[kornikkk]

W.T.F people want from Intimacy ?? It's as the best in the world as other records... Genious... poeple seeing stupid opinions not able to see the soul of Intimacy are for me blind.

[TheVishal07]

Kele!!!!!!!!!!!

[Foltzz]

pm me your email and il send you the mp3 for this if you want it, but tell me which song you want, cause I have all 3 of the acoustic mp3s by bloc party.

[noelthedrummer1]

He just cheated and used falsetto at the end!

[duckzila]

incredible.

[Imohahaha]

Does anybody knows the chords? Pls post it! (Tabs would be unbelievable ^^)

[hoppentosse]

loving it

[TownMobbin]

im just curious but are they gay? they still make great music regardless.

[seanobazee]

@TownMobbin I think Kele yes and Russell no - but I'm not sure...

[TownMobbin]

@seanobazee aite thanks

[rcd1875]

@TownMobbin Kele's bi and Russell's straight. i agree it shouldn't matter though, i'll never understand why people get so fixated on their sexuality.

[RichardParker88]

@rcd1875 I don't know if I'd say "bi" - I read a recent interview with Kele a bit ago and the way he explained his feelings about it, I wondered if it wasn't unlike what Ang Lee was exploring in "Brokeback Mountain" - which is to say, so many people can only understand that portrayal of two men together as gay (or, technically speaking, bisexual) when really that's a way of thinking that requires one to think of sexuality as anything BUT fluid...Kele seems to understand human sexuality that way.

[RichardParker88]

@rcd1875 So, I guess I think Kele would be hesistant to use the term bisexual for those reasons. Thinking of himself as gay or straight requires that he thinks of sexuality itself as something static, and nameable. All his lyrics are about the complexities of human emotion, love, and sexuality, and yet the simplicity of it. Like in Ang Lee's film, the characters are called "gay" but only by an audience; it never dawns on either of them to think of their relationship as any other word but love.

[rcd1875]

@RichardParker88 i'm in agreement with you, i think if two people love eachother it shouldn't be perceived as anything other than that. I'm just sick of people getting so caught up on Kele's sexuality when it shouldn't matter. The reason you like a band is because you like their music, the member's personal life shouldn't have to be considered when forming an opinion of them.

[torthetramp1]

They should release a pure acoustic album.

[mudbike]

signs is way better than ion square in my opinion lol

[satbir15]

When ever i question my positioning i come back to this video. He is positined facing the neck, his write is doing all the work. Hes sitting up. Only complaint is he is using his tumb at the top when he should not. Maybe hes comfertable that way. He is the king anyway =P

[screenamegohere3]

can anyone send me the tabs for this?

[JODQ11]

Put it in full screen view, watch his hand, and check for chords that look and sound like it.

The song is easy on the left hand, but tricky on the right hand, so practice your picking.

[tricky12321]

@JODQ11 the picking is easy its just the route then an upwards from the high e to the d then d it again with a turn to the g? simple...

[daltoni7]

This puts everything on Intimacy to shame

[pesanti]

@daltoni7 right on man, i thought i was the only one who liked their old stuff more than their new stuff.

[FSElement]

I'm all for their old stuff :]

[FiercegalonRye]

oh c'mon have you heard Ion square? i think it ties with this. lol

[daltoni7]

Yeah, Ion Square is pretty good, but still can't top this

[jjpimp23]

@FiercegalonRye ion square best song from intimacy

[thelimits]

bollocks

[satbir15]

Not really.

[rockonbass]

@daltoni7 you are so wrong in my opinion, just listen to signs that is beautiful. The live versions are better.

[ProudToBeAGunner]

@daltoni7

I have to admit that I don't like Intimacy as much as their previous albums, but what about great songs as Signs, Biko, ...

[daltoni7]

@ProudToBeAGunner Yeah, I definitely agree there some absolutely fantastic tracks on Intimacy, so maybe my first comment was a bit of an exaggeration, but I still prefer this

[ooThEgg]

@daltoni7 Versus Ion Square or Signs? Or Letter to my Son? It's just as deep as those are. All albums are excellent.

[kmastr]

@daltoni7 Intimacy is great dude, give it another chance, I did and now I love it.

[emideeee]

the song got better and better as time went on. fantastic.

[FrazzzC]

beautiful<3

[paddytorris]

unreal

[crazygeetarman]

that high part..

all i can say is amazing.

[8kavita]

i bloody love them and this song :)

[notyourbisness]

Beautyfull i love bloc party acoustic songs(L)

[thuy81]

he has such an unique voice!great!

[velhomiguel]

sh** i need this mp3

[ifCarlsbergMadeUsers]

Ditto

[sanjaydass123]

Incredible song

Incredible band

End of.

<3

[Liiammm3]

Maybe put a full stop in your description.

Or just grow up in general, really.

[blacklightrocker]

brilliant

[TheBabababb]

beautyful song..

[gloryglorytottenham]

Anyone know what guitar Russel has here?

[blocpartyrocker]

I can tell its a Fender..

[RedWarrant]

why the thumbs down?? Anyone reading this skip to 2:30, it's blatantly a fender, you can see the trademark F.

[InSanESk]

@redwarrant:

it's a takamine =)

[RedWarrant]

so it is =) sorry fuck up on my part =P

[InSanESk]

no problem mate D:

[mmmkkkeee]

@gloryglorytottenham

It's some sort of Takamine... Japanese built guitars...

Bruce Springsteen, Glen Hansard and many other uses them...

They have a reputation of being sturdy and as well as good sounding...

[gloryglorytottenham]

Yeah I think Thom Yorke has one? I been checking them out, thanks for the heads up :) I love this version, fun to play as well.

[Wink183]

Bloc Party are the one band with enough balls that they can switch between genres so easily. They make music for the times. I must say One More Chance is fantastic live. Long live Bloc Party. True Musicians.

[PaynesOfHinckley]

better than heaven is good check out the live and intimate version

[blazertreyflip]

yea i still saw them at glasto and kele says i would think you would rather watch bruce springstein and the crowd boos so im guessing he doesnt like him (setting the crowd up like that) so i like bloc pary the band but not so much the music any more

[roldynkuums]

no lol halo is also a beast , every song is

[172superman172]

@blazertreyflip It Was Neil Young

[loupu23]

2:25 equals bliss

[illllla]

my favorite song. i like this acoustic version too.

[PaynesOfHinckley]

how can you say that this is not a popular bloc party song, its their second highest charting song and this version is incredible.

[georgegabriel9]

holy fucking hell that was amazing

[blocpartyrocker]

The ultimate combination.

So beautiful.

Russell and Kele <3

[MonkeyDRicky]

Damn, Kele looks really sad while singing this.

[lolh4x]

@MonkeyDRicky It's because it's a sad song.

[Emnor1993]

wow i didnt know that there is an acoustic version of this.

how i remember the times

and now i hope they start again in the summer holidays

to be honest

this just made me cry

[catseatingclouds]

kele, i love you, but that shirt is wack.

[Miguel2Hernandez]

Lissack! boss!

[biglaity]

beautifully amazing

[Pancakesatthedisco]

kele feels naked without a guitar thats why this looks weird

[jimmyd699]

i think he just finds it a bit awkward when its this intimate and personnel, he seems alright without a guitar during ares and mercury and shv!

[Napier99]

Also, this is a long time before Ares and Mercury. His confidence has come on leaps and bounds since this

[bloc22]

amazing

[carbonstixdrummer]

fuckin love this song
