I remember buying konk the day it came out and sticking it in the cd player. I knew the minute i heard those chords at 0:38 that it was going to be a masterful album.
Yes! What is it exactly up with audio at 1:56? Did he stutter? Flutter his tongue?? Or is that an audio skip? It sounds wrong and right at the same time but I still like the effect! It's KILLING ME! WHAT IS IT?!
haha well my dad bought this from himself (hes from the whole 80's punk era) and he kinda liked them but he thought i would so he gave me the konk album so i just youtub-ed the first song...they kinda sound like the cure meets jack johnson meets the clash :)
Altho i began listening to the kooks when i came back home from england, they really remind me of my stay there. it's a beautiful country and it's got great musicians as well. this song, <3
Okay I am a bit of a music snob, I look down upon shyte bands of taoday. However, The Kooks have made a GREAT, pop-rock single here. Finely crafted and sung. I do not see how anyone cannot like this song. 5/5 as a pop recording. Now not all their CD is to the level, and perhaps a few corny lines "...life is like a papercup..."but wow, this song really creates and emotive response with a melody and chorus that are simple and smashing. The guitarist is GREAT, tasty licks.
music is a universal language so you dont like some bands accent then stop listening to them, and never rely on the radio for good music. i didnt find the kooks on the radio and i didnt find anyother band i listen to and like on the radio. do your self a favor and wrip out your car radio and replace it with a volume knob and a AUX port. ive done it, youll never say awe i hate this band again
All of you guys are idiots. WHo gives a shit if it's English, British or Chinese!? Just shut up and appreciate good music that some how peeks through all the rap crap about butts and getting some!
I love what these motherfuckers are doing. Great music. Real Beatles/Stones feel with twist of blues, hints of everything good about American southwestern music and a dash of magic!
@ikilledgsus lol. im not american im actually from the caribbean. but u'd have to be ignorant to not know how much british rock was influenced by american music. your heroes the Yardbirds for example were trying unsuccesfully to imitate music from the mississipi delta when they developed their sound. Mick Taylor from the Rolling Stones uses Nashville tuning on Wild Horses, just to provide one example. This American influence has been passed down the generations, and exists slightly in the kooks.
@ikilledgsus haha. cool man i get you. i love the kooks and i love british music..dont mind you guys colonized us all those years ago ;) take it easy man.
@alejandro8888 funniest of all is, i was pretending to be english, i don't even live in the uk, im not even born there etc etc >:) so aaaye but the kooks are niiice
parce que le soleil est enfin là, parce que mon pote Greg est triste et que je veux lui dire que je l'aime comme on aime un frère, parce que Gabi a enfin décidé de se mettre à Facebook, et parce que la vie est dure, des fois, et qu'une chanson assez bien foutue peut parfois te rendre le sourire pendant 3 minutes et 37 secondes. Alors pourquoi s'en priver. ...

Isn't it "For all the times I never turned HER WAY?" instead of "For all the times I never turned away."
It makes more sense considering the next line talks about she's with someone else so he regrets all the times he didn't spend paying attention to her.
