I actually sought this song out on the internet, only to say how truly awful it is. I have to mute my televison whenever the Ford advert comes on. It grinds my ears and mind and it's simply the worst song I've ever heard. I feel so strongly about Ford's disgustingly poor taste in music, that I will never ever, own, drive or accept a lift in one of their cars. This song makes me astonishingly angry and also makes my ears bleed. AWFUL song, awful.....
That was shockingly good. u got to hand it to some of these big company advertising teams. how do they scope em out? Would feel guilty to youtube convert this. amazing undiscovered band.
A lot of people have mentioned Talking Heads and Roxy Music, but something about this track also reminds me a lot of David Bowie and Hot Chip, especially the vocals.
big things, giant things, sinking with gravity, landing with paper wings / things not to think about, things not to think about / and i can feel every wind-shield, every wheel, and i am coloured by the whites of your eyes / accent an incident, not now but soon again, oh, where is my indifference? / things not to think about, things not to think about / things not to think about, things not to think about / big things.
@donuldvan Get a grip and go listen to the talking heads (wild wild life) cos they sound pretty much the same. then go and listen to the Smiths who are kings of british independent scene. Incidentally their records were also released on Rough Trade. This is a really good song but don't get carried away... :-)
i like this alot. it reminds me about how much i think about things. things. giant things. small things. lol i need to stop thinking. good tune, made me feel happy about thinking about things well done fiction
@flapjackkkkkkk why? I challenge you to give me one VALID reason why there is a problem with hearing a song on an advert and thinking 'that sounds catchy - I'm going to find out who sings it and thus generate more revenue for the artist'
This is the type of song I'll put my headphones in and think over everything in life this song isn't my type but it makes me smile I don't know why "thumbs up"
after hearing this song on an advert..i have become strangely addicted to it..makes me imagine im inside a game walkign around and when the beat drops i have these cool air boots which make me be able to jump suppperrr high past bubble gum candy floss clouds with the worlds most awesome guitar in my hands while lil stars smile and wink at me as i leap by LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...yes i like music and i have a strange imagination hahah
I actually didn't hear them first from the advert! I saw them supporting the Klaxons and thought they were great. Then I saw the advert and thought it sounded familiar. It's good to see them doing well!
you don't understand what it took me to get me here, i get hereing the song, and i picked out the word 'fame', and searched it on youtube, looked for about 2 hours to try and find it, and 24 hours later i see the comercial and now i'm here, and what a tune!, thanks ford!
I also heard this song on the Ford advert and it's been bugging me for weeks who sings it Lol, and to me the style of this sounds like a cross between David Bowie and Talking Heads IMO
the song is brilliant
the music video is brilliant and a good idea
