@WarlikeSRK HOLY SHIT! I said, man if this series got this song for the final song, its MY series. And man, just got here and so your comment. THANK YOU! There's more people like me on the world!
fucking aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome song, clip video everything there is greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!!! the show the band!!! I really love this band!!!! fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk! =P
this is the best thing i have heard lately and believe me ive heard butloads of bands and music. the song is unbelievable and the performance is great and one of a kind
FINALLY!!! Ive been looking all over for this song ever since I heard it on an episode of How I Met Your Mother and easily recognized Kele Okereke's voice and was determined to find this song because of how awesome it is! Love it! Keep it up, Bloc Party!
Sadly, they didn't keep it up. This album was by far the most complete that they ever put out... and it's about 6 years old. It made me sad that they never lived up to their promise.
they had a punk rock feel on them when they made there first full length album called Silent Alarm back in 2006 one of my favorite albums of that year and bands of all time for me personally
@Alexisrompemadres That's from their electric proms performance, tried posting the link but it wont let me so just search for bloc party electric proms and its the first result
@Razza2250 i would call it a breakdown... it's an interlude, which is commonly referred to as a breakdown... it doesn't sound like a screamo/metal breakdown of course, but it is an interlude nonetheless
I like the way they play there old songs back in the silent alarm era more than now. They just had the more indie style, Kele's nerveres. It even sounds more raw. They play with more confidence and ease now but i still prefer this.
the music they make is just too sick to be compared to any other band, i think thats wat makes me believe theyr the best. {the originalty of theyr music}
just finished watching the last episode of season 1 of how i met your mother and heard this song in the back round wow am i glad i found it. Its such a good song
What a debate! It's an indie rock song (and the best in the world I guess), but it's also in Skatemore. So everything's said and we don't give a fuck about the rest. Just talk about the music and nothing else. French cheers.
is this a skate song?? wot the hell is a skate song??!! i do skateborading but i would listen to this song if i didnt skate!! there are no skate songs!! its alternative-british-new-wave-rock..but no skate song wtf..
lol, dont mind him. in your defense this is a indie rock band, best band in the world. and there are songs you can skate to, mostly punk rock and stuff but i wouldnt call it a skate song. but in this live performance they play some parts pretty fast opposed to the cd version which isnt fast like that so i guess i can see why u would say that. did this help? sorry if im confusing lol
ok man listen, there is no such thing as a "SKATE SONG". I can understand that a skater "listens to it" which is completely different. They're not labeled rock/skater are they? thats right, they're NOT. Geez, i dont get people sometimes
songs arent made 'specifically for skating' that's rubbish, who sits down to write a song and says 'this song is specifically for skating to'? maybe ABOUT skating, sure (which this isnt!) Certain bands are more popular with skaters, melodic hardcore and pop-punk mainly. I wouldnt consider bloc party as one of these bands either, they are a british indie band - hardly nofx. The fact this featured on something relating to skateboarding doesnt make it a so called 'skate song'. ps. skating sucks
well maybe if u knew a lil more about the world u would know that songs are made for everything and about everything, and yes that includes skateing. and only a handful of us listen to indie pop. maybe u should learn more about what kind of songs are made for skating before you open your mouth and say something as retarded as this. oh and p.s skateboarding doesnt suck, your prolly just to stupid to comprehend it either that or u tried it and u sucked.
I like skatebording but i did not say anything bad about skating I just thought it was a skate song and so what if it was a skate song which is not its a veri nice song
'Maybe you should learn more about what kind of songs are made for skating' - what the hell is that supposed to mean? You're talking absolute crap. I cant skate but im a bit past that now to be honest, i'll hold my hands up i was a bit of chavvy kid so it was never really my thing. p.s. 'retarded' is such a cliched, childish word - so for me that just ruined your pathetic argument anyway! Get a life and grow up.
that just says it all really. Im not quite sure which part of either of my previous comments constitutes being gay OR acting tough. I think bascially what you are saying is that you are about as articulate and amusing as a remedial chimpanzee.
I like they way they piece the instruments together,very well written song
