I don't care about Kele being gay, what bothers me is that he is straying from the band and becoming his on artist. And it seems other band members are also joining other bands. :(
What he's gay imma burn all the mp3's i downloaded.....Oh wait I dont care about his sex life or anybodies else, but my own!! Ya'll screaming he's gay are fucking stupid!!!! ITS 2010!!!
@JucyJucex they technically are i think. they're just taking some time out :) though the sooner they get back int the studio the better. at least we've still got Kele's (lead singer - black guy) solo album so it could be worse!!!!!!!!!
@ingrambo30 the guitarist isnt horrible, although musicalman you picked poor songs to try and represent his skill. Neither the prayer nor helicopter are very complicated, but kele and him work great together. He really is no guitar hero, but he's a great presence, his style is relatively unique, and what he writes sounds great (my opinion), complicated or not. --why do you say he sucks?
@Jikel7Bob224 absolute respect for this band. i love them, theyve got great songs... i just find him mechaninc, to dirty and clumsy with the acoustic. :)
@Jikel7Bob224 he's a guitar hero in my book :) Russell's work sounds great, almost perfect to me and that's what counts, not if he's a shredder or not..
this is such a great acoustic. Probably better than the original. It just appeals to your remicent senses more.... those 'endless summer acoustic guitars'....
juhnior88 I just started working this song out. For the 1st verse to chorus I play F B flat C D minor then back to F doesn't sound great playing along with this version but sounds very close to the way it's played on the album.
thanks...F,B flat C D sounds for me not so good but its ok...i already found the version on ultimate-guitar...(i think that this page is best for searching tags and chords)...but i didn´t find version for this acoustic session...or I am stupid:)
jragster you're a dick, jesusjuice meant that he/she didn't get what you meant by " and he is black", its fucking illogical. you dont say " oh caleb followill's got a good voice, and he's white" do you? fucking prick
This song is about a male crush that lead singer Kele Okereke had, which was never taken to the next level. (thanks, Martin - Eastbourne, England)Kele Okereke talked about the song at some length in his January 2007 The Observer interview, responding to questions as to whether the song had an autobiographical nature:
Not really ... I guess, partially. [Can we call it a gay love story?] Yeah, but is it a love story? It's one person longing for somebody they can't really have.
they are amazing lyrics. the concept is so striking and out there..."two straight boys having an unspeakable attraction" as kele said. beautiful song nonetheless...people can interpret in their own way.
I don't care about Kele being gay, what bothers me is that he is straying from the band and becoming his on artist. And it seems other band members are also joining other bands. :(
