Mogwai - Yes I Am A Long Way From Home

[theidmkid]

14 people have never been away from home

[CriticalPotato]

I didn't think it was possible but I found my favorite Mogwai song. So far anyway...

[rabbitkiddd]

'Cause music is bigger than words and wider than pictures. If someone said that Mogwai are the stars I would not object. If the stars had a sound it would sound like this.

[lastagony]

God is an astronaut-- best shoegaze band.

[IulovemeI]

@downslingsby i tried to read what you wrote but i did not understand a word, but i think it was beautifully said

[downslingsby]

Could I suggest that the Mogwai-Explosions debate is pretty pointless and should be jettisoned? With so many NME bands defecating in our ears, it seems daft to have a partisanship towards one of two great bands, to the exclusion of the other. That's self-defeating sectarianism: something which, since Progwai are Glaswegian, they probably wouldn't be in favour of. That said, Mogwai definitely have better track titles.

Awesome track, anyway: perhaps the best on MYT.

[rleonard1977]

YYYEEEESSSSSSSS ALLLLLLLAAAAAHHHH UULLLLLL AAACCCKKKKBBBBAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!­!

[worldeater11]

[Veddeer83]

Masterpiece!!



[IulovemeI]

the talent explosions in the sky has does not come near the talent mogwai posseses

[neocon70]

wut? i have this album but dont remember listening to this song. FUCK, I NEED TO LISTEN TO ALL OF MOGWAI'S ALBUMS AGAIN!

[alexliebach]

@neocon70 This is literally the first song on their first album. First Mogwai track I ever heard and damn... Got me hooked instantly.

[gossfunkel]

@neocon70 join the club ;D

[bruthaflo]

Mogwai and Cowgirl Radio are all I listen to.

[UtopiaMinor666]

check Out Saxon shore

[antolus22]

I got 1001 voice for "Yes". Great song, so live-about.

[theDyingWhale]

I saw both Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai about a week apart. Mogwai made me deaf, Explosions made me fall asleep. There is no comparison.

[thatsphreshish]

If These Trees Could Talk are similar aswell, really kickass music

[PaScal95xD]

Hammock, Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky! 3 awesome band and every band with its own style

[IulovemeI]

first song i listened to by mogwai liked the music ever since

[doig2020]

makes me proud to be scottish

[raymondj920]

sorry if i missed some out! enjoy, this kind of music needs to be spread! PEACE

[lyonslaforet]

Young Team is one of my favorite albums released in 1997!

[SpeedGodK]

the 12 people who disliked this should be taken outside on a freezing cold dawn and shot in the face.

[dyeboy5u]

@SpeedGodK

One day, everyone will see this on the news. "Man and woman taken outside on a freezing cold dawn and shot in the face because they disliked a Mogwai song on Youtube."

[charlie206135]

Going to see them tonight, won tickets, didn't know who they are, and I love them already, so chilled. :)

[UppruniTegundanna]

@charlie206135 So did you like it?

[cw71017]

"When ah shag a bird yee'd think Antarctica hud defrosted oan her bed!" I would love to know how this is relevant to the music :p

In all seriousness though, what a beautiful song.

[meggysound]

Great. Maybe you should listen to NUCLEODAMA.

[kuiperuhgh]

"IF A SOUND HAD A SOUND, IT WOULD SOUND LIKE THIS"

[Tianna3221]

@kuiperuhgh lmao xD

[Gravep4l]

@kuiperuhgh I think its "If the stars had a sound..."

[AndrisStafeckis456]

@kuiperuhgh I think it's "If the stars had a sound. it would sound like this" dude

[lilyoaks]

Now I know why Robert Smith likes them so much... it sounds just like HIS music.

[kmishka1]

peer. ing. in. this. mid. mars has peered

[brownstain3000]

@musikmakermark something like this:

what? start speaking now?

when i shag a bird you'd think antarctica had defrosted on her bed.

sometimes when i'm puffing hash i get a bird to suck my dong.

often when i don't clean my knob i get my sister to lick the cheese off my helmet.

everytime i put my arse off i smell shite all day.

once i was eating and i had to shoot my spunkhole so show us your head you slag!

i used to run about, you wee guys know that but i never touch him right?!

[rabbitkiddd]

'Cause music is bigger than words and wider than pictures. If someone said that Mogwai are the stars I would not object.

[brownstain3000]

@musikmakermark I already did dude. It's fucking gross and sick, kinda killed the song for me. The band members must be some weird fuckers

[brownstain3000]

does anyone notice the guys talking in reverse at the end??? what are they or what is he saying????

[WinstonKiva]

From WinstonKiva

Thanks for reminding me about this band. I'd clean forgotten all about them. Always thought they should have been more famous than they were.

[2011crystalg]

crystal was here

[cassiusitsover]

"On Saturday the sky will crumble together"- The relavence of that is quite funny now, but hey! We're all still alive. :)

[LiilyPadd]

<3

[tehtourist]

how the hell do you dislike this song? ugh

[kramerspadowskiki]

the only post rock bands that matter;sigur ros,mogwai,and tortoise

[babilu7e]

@kramerspadowskiki That is so wrong. Well they may be big names in the post rock world but there are other good bands out there that are really unique and awesome..... You may not like them but they do really matter.

[calmb4storm]

@babilu7e Thumbsup X infinity..

I love Mogwait..but there is so much to discover in music..post rock or otherwise..keep searching everyone

[VeritasSeek]

@kramerspadowskiki Check out Explosions in the Sky man.

[CyValkarion]

@VeritasSeek Can't thumb this up enough. Great stuff.

[VeritasSeek]

@CyValkarion But anything Post-rock is amazing. Inspiring, having it play in the backround makes everything better.

[CyValkarion]

@VeritasSeek So true.

[VeritasSeek]

@CyValkarion "Music is bigger then words and writings and pictures.", as said at the beginning of this song :)

[sockpuppetmartinez]

@VeritasSeek Yeah, I love shitty derivative Mogwai-wannabes too. Eits and Twdy are the BEST.

[LeCapital]

Beautiful beautiful riff. I like to play it on guitar.

[angrykoolaidman]

Amazing.

[kklol0]

Yea they are at Montréal tommorow and Im gonna Be there <3 *Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaayyyyy !!!!!!!*

[mynameisluke1971]

@kklol0 I was there too! hard to find anything negative to say about that gig!!!!

except maybe they didn't play Hunted by a freak :(

Peace!

[oRossyy]

[5147848amp]

[Seaknifed]

Post-Rock is Awesome..Relaxing & True.

[danevati]

What she said in the beginning is so true

[Bumchampion420]

i love that riff at 1:30, i wish they could have just rode on that for awhile

[babilu7e]

This makes look at the night sky stars and wondering if there is somebody out there looking for a home.

[MrMcfossil]

shut it you lot peels 2nd favourite band just listen fae a scottish guy

[HTURTrekees]

sounds like a movie music filler... take that how u will...i might be a good movie

[tonyduffy8]

It's just in a scottish twang, except dubbed back and over so it's as if they're not pronouncing the words right i think.

[IcyScythe]

Are they speaking German at the end in backmasking? Anyone wanna translate?

[delpierochilipeppers]

heavenly sounds....infinite music.....long live mogwai.

(but too bad for annoying bitch in the first minute....in my opinion)

[MrScubasuit]

If you like Mogwai, Eluvium, Helios, Goldmund, Hammock, Rachel's, The Album Leaf, Unwed Sailor, and other similar artists, you may like my stuff. I'd love some support! :)

[drbobalish]

this is epic

[MouthOfTheUnknown]

what is the woman talking from?

thanks :)

[69StEpHaNeRd69]

reminds me of explosions in the sky...check em out

[The19dreams]

[16maze]

@The19dreams the last days of a tragic allagory-saxon shore :)

[The19dreams]

@16maze Nice Great song...Thanks for sharing!

[30NIGHTCRAWLER30]

@The19dreams thanks man love it, god bless you

[tylowylo12321]

@The19dreams sunlight ascending:) give em a listen

[The19dreams]

@tylowylo12321 thank you....beautiful music!

[tylowylo12321]

@The19dreams :D theyre friends of mine

[The19dreams]

@tylowylo12321 your friends are really talented...i enjoyed listening to them

[durkadurka91]

@The19dreams Unlike on other videos I watch from bands I like, I actually appreciate it on post-rock videos. And always check them out, thanks!

[The19dreams]

@durkadurka91 no probs man...glad u like...post rock 4 life

[WelcomeGhostsIV]

@The19dreams Sounds like Explosions in the Sky to me

[Theozzie11]

@The19dreams if you haven't heard already.... "Radio Protector by 65daysofstatic"

[The19dreams]

@Theozzie11 yip thats one my fav from 65dos,a really great track!

[houseofglass21]

I always thought this tune sounded like early 90's Smashing Pumpkins and that's a good thing

[juegas]

@houseofglass21 hell no not even close, whats wrong with your hearing?

[houseofglass21]

@juegas you must be the deaf one if you can't hear it. it sounds like an early b-side from Gish or Siamese Dream. not to mention the bass line is the same as the guitar riff from the final half of "Rocket". the way it builds from quiet to loud, the guitar fuzz, and the guitar leads. the pumpkins influence is pretty clear.

[SubSatellite]

i hate justi bieber

[CheshireCopyCat]

@SubSatellite what does he has to do with this video ?

[RobIain]

has anyone ever reversed what they say at the end? i just did it, some of what is said is

"sometimes when i'm puffing hash i get a bird to suck my dong, often when i don't clean my knob i get my sister to lick the cheese out of my helmet"

hahaha, what the fuck!?

[MouthOfTheUnknown]

@RobIain that's hilarious lmao....

[IcyScythe]

nostalgia in sonic form

[IcyScythe]

great song to drive to on a dark night.

[maikzons]

quite soothing i must say

[LPxxxGoW]

Chill...

[mitchymoose]

I love you...

[mminc81]

This is _horribly amazing_. The music could be good or bad, the video could be confusing or random or totally awesome, it doesn't matter whats being played on that little box up there on the computer screen because people will always find something stupid to argue about. Whatever happened to JUST LISTENING TO THE MUSIC!?!?!

[tikal2k]

bigger than words, wider than pictures

[pecrima02]

sigur ros is still my favorite... but mogwai is freaking amazing as well.

[RetroInfatuation]

@pecrima02 Really creepy, I just went from listening to Sigur Ros and felt in the mood for Mogwai. =P

[tylowylo12321]

@pecrima02 sunlight ascending, try them out :D

[stewwytheninja]

its because they are scottish

[ausfoolia1111]

HOW COME I EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING IN REVERESE ON LSD - FOR A WHILE OF HORROR - IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN - PLEASE ANYONE

[m1SeRY91]

'Cause music is bigger than words and wider than pictures.

If someone said that Mogwai are the stars I would not object.

If the stars had a sound it would sound like this.

[AnonBuddha]

hey dude if you were guy was talking with on omegle pm me

[esvedra007]

mommy

[scarletwest]

The sun isn't hear any more. I feel free.

[rukia44cat]

@scarletwest wow good for you =)

[haveNOsanity13]

there are two hurricans or tropical storms on that picture of earth =) great song!

[bubbabobodbrain]

this song makes me die on the inside

[Leonx323]

I fall into a dream listening to this music :)

[Allein5]

This music makes me not hate my life so much.

[ponyfang]

@Allein5 xDDDD Here here!

[ESIGNERd]

@Allein5 why did you hate your life so much?

[MacDaSkwack]

@ESIGNERd to think that anyone would be able to answer such a question in a youtube comment...

[timen1986]

@Allein5

that's very beautiful and very sad

[Lyrycalytyx]

@Allein5 check out jakob... again makes me not hate my life so much.

[calilola130]

@Allein5 Thanks guys! Bary White (who plays in the band) is my second cousin! :)

[samuelmormaii]

Nice Nice!

[Zerrith]

This song is perfect to listen to when high on opiates.

[SPRITZTV]

remember me a song of smashing pumpkins.... good song!

[benski81]

@SPRITZTV Which one do you mean? Probably the riff from Rocket, right? ;)

[SPRITZTV]

@benski81 hi... no ...listen "drown" of smashing... good day!

[benski81]

@SPRITZTV I get the Drown comparison, but guitar-wise it's MUCH closer to Rocket. It's basically the same riff, just a few octaves lower and played more slowly.

[jordynnwaslike]

This is my favorite band and I listen to them constantly, especially when I'm in the mood to 'create' something (:

[AlexSmash100]

@jordynnwaslike i listend to them when i want to write a piece of literature for my AP

class. Or when i create an art piece. Or simply when i get high and ponder about life. ;)

[glowball01]

a brilliant song, a brilliant start, to a brilliant debut album...

[666thehazard]

lol. love that one person clapping at the end of her speech :). Amazing song, amazing band :).

[albertof75]

uufff, didn't know this band..... why???? I had missed a lot of great music, I'm going to size the day

[qsimienful]

no aural boundary, no green limit

one ear open, one sound infinite

[Glubschi333]

I love it <3

[iAphex]

How the fuck could someone dislike this? They must be those faggs who listen to that mainstream shit.

[Stoat99]

@iAphex this music is really amazing but why do you feel the need to insult mainstream music? plenty of it is great music thats fun to listen to... you shouldnt insult mainstream music just because its popular, if you dont like a certain style of music that makes sense, but mainstream isnt one particular style so how can you hate all of it just because it is popular?

[iAphex]

@Stoat99 Yeah that's true. Let me fix what i said. Someone who dislikes this, is insane in there head. Mainstream like that soulja boy and kesha bullshit, believe it or not, most mainstream is sometimes good. Just not the crap you hear on your local pop music channel. GO MOGWAI!

[Stoat99]

@iAphex yes! haha soulja boy and kesha make me wanna destroy the radio, so thank you for fixing what u said :D it just bugs me when people pool all mainstream music into one group and disses it :P so GO MOGWAI xD

[CrayonHD]

@Stoat99 Hey man, this is iAphex, i just deleted that account and made this new one.. Anyway, do you listen to Sigur Ros? ( :

[Stoat99]

@CrayonHD cool cool! :P and yeah! sigur ros is pretty amazing :)

[Zerrith]

@Stoat99 I dunno I have no problems dissing mainstream in general.. It seems that if you average out how good mainstream is versus underground shit there's quite a contrast. Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, Bullet For My Valentine, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne.. I could go on. SO much of it is shit.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@Stoat99 love sigor ros parentheses or how ever you spell it is my fav album

[Antaninani]

How i love this bass line, very melodic and deep. Shit i love the 90's...

[kasmember17]

This music slows down time.

[ibanezandpeavey]

It does soun VERY pumpkins...prob why I love it so much.

[Zerrith]

@ibanezandpeavey You mean Smashing Pumpkins? Yeah I feel like you could combine Smashing Pumpkins and Mogwai quite succesfully, I've thought about that before.

[tiffstarshining]

@Zerrith especially the Gish album

[TheTerzula]

ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[alucardisdumb]

so deep.

so introspective.

[SideEffect001]

Mogwai is so good... this type of music is rare.

[joewellito]

@SideEffect001 listen to the bands this will destroy you, and explosions in the sky

[SideEffect001]

@joewellito

Yes Explosions in The Sky is one of my favorite bands. Never heard of "this will destroy you" though... but ill check them out! =)

[Maul1977]

Ta muzyka mówi sama za siebie. Słowa są zbędne. Świetne...

[JuanUmana]

what i like is that each time i hear this song, my mind makes up a new concept but finally leads to the same idea.

[deusnovaomni]

Cuz music is bigger than words and wider than pictures.

[willonz]

What if the Big Bang was when God blew his brains out?

MIND ARE BLOWN
