[JackVannet]

Idlewild are fantastic, I remember when I went to see them in the Glasgow Barrowlands. Was one of the best gigs I've been to. One of my favorite bands of all time.

[bainseyboy]

anyone know the chords for this songs?

[nshircore]

Chords anyone? All the online tabs I've ever found for an acoustic version of this song are horrifically off the mark

[paulgirard1980]

is there an acoustic mp3 recording of this around anywhere?? such a good version

[henricussecundus1154]

Puts shitty little bands like Coldplay and the Stereophonics into their place. Good shit Roddy.

[brock1109]

Quality like this only comes along once a decade. Glad I was there to see em. My kids have got N DUBS and all the rest of the purile shite the charts are full of to remember . You dont know what yove got till its gone.

[kildog]

Beautiful.

At the time, Travis etc... were the biggest Scottish bands. fucking crime. Roddy was a god...

[rigawellsly]

I really prefer this acoustic version over the original although i Miss the part at the end where there's double lyrics and "SHAPES!"

Would love to see that part included.

[xanthein22]

these 3 VH1 idlewild videos are amazing!

[blindingsun]

Scottish bands never make it "big" .. this is a shame..

[bailsmansalesman]

@blindingsun i'd say mogwai have done quite well

[rukawagirl]

Does he breathe!!?

Seriously

i kinda hold my breath along the song -*-

[PatScully123]

Roddy?

What is this?

This is HEROIC!

<3

[henricussecundus1154]

Hear hear!!

[macreedyroo]

think youll find they are not commercial at all

[SveinssonErlendur]

Their 2 first albums were amazing. Now it has turned into commercial stuff...

[primarkopolop]

nah definitely not comercial, i think they just had a more mature aproach after Hope Is Important, they definitely didnt sell themselves out

[heytherestranger12]

He is so beautiful.

His voice is so beautiful.

The guitar is so beautiful.

This song is so beautiful.

I've gone a bit overwhelmed....

[oh8seven]

Wow, Wayne Rooney has quite a nice voice.

[gangsta07rap]

lmfao hahaha aw what tht was class m8

[truebluetay]

thanks for ruining one of my all-time favorite bands.

[oh8seven]

ROOOOOOOOONEY!!!

[Noeladishi]

your a tosser

[JJDR92]

ya el wn qe nose a bañao en años jajaa

[dexomus23]

brillaint

[kikinadia]

love love love love love love it all and how present he is

[bainseyboy]

anyone know the chords for this?

[DaveyBain82]

yo,did u get the chords for this tune???can u share them plz!!

[AndrewGibbo]

can you get this version anywhere i reallt like it its better than the orginal one

[pritchardo92]

Maan, freakin' love idlewild!

[trojas111]

don't know why, but i really like this line "And when I argue Syd Barrett makes me laugh"

[originalindiechick]

I thought it was 'I sit there, it makes me laugh', but your lyric is WAY better, lol! :-D

[braddersthemod]

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! genius! Pure genius!

[broonly7]

Goin 2 c them on wednesday. Such an underrated band

[turnersterror88]

That's a lovely little clear of the phlegm that Roddy does just before singing lol.

[originalindiechick]

You spotted it too, hee hee

[AndrewGibbo]

is it on a myspace or anything? cause i want it as my song :) lol

[mwscott2007]

I think Idlewild are so underated. I saw them support R.E.M. in 2005 at Ipswich FC

[iluvmorrissey]

One of their best, good sort of punky tune to it.

[VonGizzle]

exactly my sentiments

[GypsyLover87]

fucking legendary

[dangerbird22]

another gem from these guys...i like all their albums...radio missed the boat on these guys, i dont understand why they are not played

[markjrowe]

Colin Murray and Edith Bowman used to play them quite a bit when they did a show together on BBC radio 1, does anyone know if they are still around?

[iforwardhamish]

yeah, recording a new album at the moment and doing a few gigs

[xanthein22]

yeah its perfect...

[Thomyorke19830228]

Én is szeretem

[carmilache]

nekemis naon tetsikk:D

[brock1109]

I love idlewild!! Cast your minds back to the turgid shite that passed for guitar rock music at the time these lads came along.They made me want to see live music again.

[brodhurste]

And boy, are they good live. Fucking fantastic.

[SugarSpunLovesYou]

First live band I ever saw. Top education :)

[sonicgeisha]

Really like this acoustic performance.

Idlewild is still too unknown...

[roxsursoxs6]

"syd barret makes me laugh? That;s cool Didn't catch that before. Although I do miss syd. I still have flashbacks to "see emily play" to this day.

[adambull]

music for our generation.

[raidenzero]

Awesome

[bobafett1021]

allan sort of looks like wes anderson...

i think this song sounds better this way.

[bobafett1021]

This song's good, My favorite songs from them are actually B-sides "A distant History"

"I was made to think it" And "no generation"

if you're a fan of them you should check those songs out,

[geekmo]

can you post them, up? I listen to them on last fm sometimes..but youtube is less of a hassle. No generation is amazing

[bobafett1021]

There's a torrent with all of their rare stuff floating around.

[takatric]

I love this song.

[Siimilar]

El Capitan wins, agree?

[iforwardhamish]

no. this song is idlewild.

[Siimilar]

Wow, sounds like you're quite the fan. El capitan is the second biggest song Idlewild have released.

Nub.

[fenrisreborn]

Is El Capitan really Idlewild's second biggest song?

I don't live in the UK so i wouldn't know, just curious, as it's my favorite song by them.

[omgargwtf]

I don't know if El Capitan is their biggest song, But it beats this song, I think, but I live in Canada so I dunno... I like a whole bunch of others more than this one

[tom2253]

Idlewild are so under rated there one of the most amazing bands thats come out the uk for years been a fan since 99 and i was like 9 or 8 years old lol thats what having a bro thats into this music does but yeah IDLEWILD ARE ACE

[supersmoothpunk]

Excellent band and song, couldn`t really give a fuck what he`s like as a person.

[dashokeykokey]

cant decide on a best album, every single one is amazing in its own way!

[Kpathma]

I don't hold anything against artists when i meet them. Generally yeah they appear rude but its understandable. You try going out of your door and getting stopped multiple times a day when all you want is newspaper or w/e. It'd get old fast. This is an awesome rendition :D miss the SHAPES but good nevertheless haha.

[hannahmwalsh]

I was at the Barrowland '05 xmas gig, where I think they played this version, I loved it. I don't know why some fans are so bothered about the newer stuff, it's so amazing all of it and it can be moulded from frenzied rock to soft ballads perfectly..not many bands can do that successfully...

Met Roddy too..has anyone else? Didn't like him much, a bit rude :(

[ronaglows]

met roddy a few times, he's orite i guess :P but i suppose we can't expect him to be overtly friendly with people he doesn't even know........... i guuuuuuuuesss :( haha.

maaan, the barra's xmas '05 gig was the best of theirs i've ever been to i think!

[b00kworm88]

Love this version. Can't stand the album version.

[GoodbyeGramsci]

Hope is Important is Idlewild's best album :)

[Jdo214]

Are you serious?

[blindingsun]

100 broken windows or captain ftw.

[Jdo214]

Im a bigger fan of there new stuff. never really got into 100 broken windows. Remote Part was great, Warnings/Promisess and Make Another World are solid.... But Hope is important...I dont know...Its just so...bad..

[dyneportega]

what?! Hope is Important is a brilliant album! Although there is 2 duff tracks on it but the rest is brilliant. Reckon u should pump up the volume and have another listen.

[solitaryblossom]

All about The Remote Part, sooooooooooo good :)

[Thomyorke19830228]

Atom acustic

[dav1s0n]

aw! they never done the "when i argue i see shapes SHAPES!" bridge section! lol

[cabbaman98]

Wow roddy looks well good in this. Lovely performance. One of the only decent songs off of Hope is important. Every other song off all other albums are amaizng though. Just This one album drags behind the rest.

[giddig]

If I remeber right the album this is from was alla bit shouty compared to following albums. True? Anyone know of a way of getting acoustic versions of that albums tracks. Any single B sides maybe? Any help would be great.

[aewallace81]

Ahhh :)

[dazpp]

good find nick...i like these because they know what chords they are playing...and have some decent lyrics

[dazpp]

yeah good find nick....these guys know what chords they are playing.

[u2popmofo]

Great find.

[smythson]

awesome!

[lonerboy666]

love this song :)

[Dazfeeder]

amazing again
