  • no, the ebst song is ion square

  • This is the best Bloc Party song ever.

  • The best part of this whole song is when he sings "I should have kissed you"

    Awesomeness.

  • i love this song SO much :D

  • I am absolutely in love with this song.

    I think it's adorable.

  • poop

  • i love this, the train effect is mesmirizing. bloc party rule!!

  • whats the bass player called? I just love BP. I know kele and russel but thats it lol =P

  • Kele's on rhythmic guitar, Russel's on reg guitar, Gordon on bass and Matt on drums. :] I love BP too~

  • Gordon Moakes, aka Gordy.

    I'm a little bit of a specialist on bass players, lol. (Well, I am one, what do you expect.)

  • Holy shit, I think I heard this song sometime last winter.

    I never thought less than a year later, I'd love this band.

  • even if he did write it about two guys doesn't mean he's gay or was or bi or what ever,. You can write a song about what ever you want.

  • ya guys seriously, this is a love song, he dosn't like guys BlocParty4life

  • What the fuck are you talking about. This song has nothing to do with love, it is the secret emotions (the secret love) between two friends. You Fag.

  • calm your ass down

  • chill mr. song decipherer

  • lol kid go fuck yourself calm down

  • ChloeCapsicum, im totally agree whith you.

    this is a beautifull song.

  • i think chloecapsicum must be gay to

  • The only straight thing in this video are the Guitar sounds.... everything else is not my kind of thing lol

  • Oh I love the guitars in this song....

  • I hate it how people automatically think that the guy might like men because theres a mention of several pairs of trousers and a tie.

    I have a firm belief that this song is directed at anyone who's ever longed for someone, felt love or simply didnt kiss the person and their chance is gone.

    Its an extraordinary piece of music.

    End of story.

  • I agreee

  • Exactly that.

  • The guitarist's hair flops around XD

    Good song though =] 5/5

  • the only gay piece of art i respect in human history

  • seeing them on wednesday!!!!

    dec 10!

  • have fun..fav song from them is little thoughts.

  • the lead singer is bi sexual and the song is about him and another man.

  • im not sure if hes bi or not, he probably is, but he'd never say if he is or isnt. hes just 100% comfortable with his sexuality and doesnt think it matters and enjoys the idea that everyone else is trying to figure out if he is gay or not. but he doesnt give shit what other people think. its like some philosophical mind game or something. (thats what my older sis told me, it made sense back then anyway.)

  • umm, what in the lyrics of this song would lead you to belive its about homosexuality.

  • Actually, one of the band members mentioned that it was about a missed love by two heterosexual boys. There are a couple weak hints, like "I kept your tie" and "we left our trousers," etc.

  • well in most schools girls wear ties aswell, and most girls wear trousers aswell.

    so suck on that!

    (I love you really)

  • Kele wrote the song not directly about homosexuality, its about longing for something you can't have, like that for example.

  • but kele wrote it about 2 homosexual school boys

    witch is quite obvious there school boys

    kele sing about being out of school since of a teacher training days and things like that

  • agreed..it's not talking bout homosexuality in general and per se..it's about the human condition to yearn and like you said, longing..hi-5 mate! and oh yeah, the song rocks, enuff about the lyrics already, people

  • thegoblet16,

    I'm agree with you. I'm a woman and every time that I listen this song I remember the last time that I saw the man whom changed my life and he never knew nothing about it.

    ...I still remember how you looked that afternoon. There was only you... you should have asked me for it I would have been brave You should have asked me for it How could I say not?...

  • this song is so awesome

    donßt listen to the racist´s, thats what they want

    sorry 4 my bad english, i´m from germany

  • It's too bad you racist homophobes can't just be quiet and enjoy this marvelous song.

  • they can't help it... bless 'em, stupid fucking waste.

  • what the fuck happened to watching the music videos without having some sort of argument coming up

    (i realise that i will probably get argued with for making a valid point) also if something hasn't been spelt properly i don't give a fuck

    gooday sirs and madams

    and cunts who are here for an argument

  • aids is a gift if it prays on you

  • (@DeanoShooks)

  • if you're going to be a bigot at least learn to spell, you dumb fuck

  • awesome song and video!

  • I suppose in the safety of the internet people can reveal their true ignorance and racism. Please just comment on the music, not the colour of the artists.

  • Aids came for a ritual of eating monkey brains. However, if you only respond to ignorance. I heard your mom had sex with a monkey

  • hahahaha

  • no, some guy had sex with a monkey

  • no blacks invented aids....thanks for it btw

  • u invented aids u fag

  • my god, black and white have nothing to do w/ rock.... there are great rockers from all nationalities.....don't be so damn ignorant.

  • I'd say 'inventing' one of the world's most destructive viruses is quite an accomplishment, it would make them god-like in a sense, wouldn't you agree?

  • i do love that song so much one of my favorites =)

  • great video :):):)

  • honestly, why do people turn these threads into arguments? if you like the vid, say so, and if you don't, find another one. Personally, i love the song. My band's covering it.

  • I agree!

  • Its a song, for gods sake! JUST A SONG!

  • fucking hell what is with all the hate in your profile? it's like there's nothing positive you're just some stoner whining about everything that YOU think is wrong with the world.

  • HAHAHHAHA LOOK WHAT THIS PRICK HAS IN HIS PROFILE

    "Heroin should be prescribed by GP's this would cut burgalary, car crime and other offences by at least 90%."

    now THAT is the most retarded thing i've ever heard

  • Most retarded comment ever no matter how true or un true it is.

  • i really wouldnt take it that far, as to say black people "intvented" rock, i would say that blacks in rock and whites in hip hop are just relevant.

  • People say it's odd seeing a black guy fronting a rock band nowadays..well

    1)stop being racist

    2)They invented rock & roll (blues)

  • still strange...

  • wow

  • man, Kele would be so disappointed about thatt. his lyrics are ace. the band is ace.

  • keinohrhasen

  • awesome vid

  • [ G E I L ]

  • Talons isn't too bad.

  • i still remember...

    when Bloc Party wrote great songs like this, instead of their new rubbish album =(

  • have hope....*sniff* have hope...

  • true true :'(

  • Get over it. Learn to adapt your musical taste.

  • great video.

  • Sounds like Peter Hook of New Order plays bass for these. Good sound.

  • not nearly as good as flux or the prayer..

    those two are so awesome

  • good shit niga

  • bloc party are amazin! and who cares about peoples sexualilty as long as there happy? its the 21st centry! but i think its about 2 people who liked each other but cudnt because theyre too shy. but the best thing about music is we intruprt it in our own way and connect to it though happy times or sad times! jsut enjoy it in ur own way :D

  • What has the lead singers sexuality got to do with it???

    The point of the song is to remind us about missed opportunities from our childhood!!!

    Great track for me!!! I love BLOC PARTY i think they are ace!!! Keep up the good work!!!

    RyUK

    P.s I don't like the Vandelism line lol

  • You guys are aware that in a lot of schools in England, the uniformity consists of ties, a suit-coat type of apparel, and even on occassions, trousers, right? For both guys and girls.

  • Note, that I was just pointing that out. I know what the song is about. But I'm just saying. That tends to be the case. Incase some bloke wants to yap.

  • so what? does it matter what they wear? some schools in melbourne Enforce Blazers, Ties, Trousers etc. and im sure there are other schools that do too.

  • That comment was made because there are some here arguing that the referrence to trousers and ties automatically means that this song is about two guys. While it is in fact written about 2 guys and an unspoken attraction (as told by Kele), the clothes mentioned means nothing because the uniforms, as you even just pointed out, sometimes consist of those things for females too. That's why I mentioned the clothes.

  • Bah. I don't remember trousers on the local Woodford girls, and ICHS was an all-boys school (with horrifically ugly maroon blazers). It's a tad creepy to think he might be referring to one of us, but never mind! Hahaha.

  • love you champo!

  • possibly so

  • if so then so what, why do we judge when we know so little

  • He is not gay they did an interview about the song and said he was neither gay or bi and i saw him with plenty of women and the song is about anyone really ,so be open minded and its up to you think its gay or not

  • ...wo0w...***voll coologeilocrassotollo***...

  • kele rocks!!

  • * lo mejor *

    * BrAu *

  • I have heard that kele is gay but it's about when he's at school and some girls have to wear ties at school. And there from UK england so they had uniforms

  • He is gay and it is about a boy. He even said so in an interview!!

  • i love you pam Xxxx

  • do u know the same pam as me?

  • perfect song!

  • my fave bloc party song by far!

  • this song is a real tearjerker!!!

    I didn`t know Kele`s attracted to men; I think it may not change the song`s meaning, but it changes how you see it.

  • What makes people think this is about two guys? Women can wear trousers and ties too.

  • Well Kele has stated that he is attracted to men and it's not clear wether he is bi or not. People always say that it doesn't matter but it does. Being bisexual this song really spoke to me about the unspoken nature of homoeroticism and i think to ignore that is to ignore a lot of the songs meaning. This is a song I will never forget.

  • omg!!! he looks like the "what what in the butt" guy!

  • i love matt tong, best drummer and the greatest by far! kudos bloc party!

  • you should have asked me for it ...
