This is pretty much my favourite song ever. I love the band and all their songs and this one never fails to make me feel human again. Thanks to roddy, rod, bob and colin for this one. Love you guys. Seriously.
Idlewild are one off the most underated bands ever it makes me angry that all these spoiled teenagers are getting all the fame when they dont deserve it!
@DeadShotKeen Couldn't disagree with you more, I think they've progressed. But me from a month ago would have probably agreed with you. This song is the best mix between their old and new sound/mentality, superb.
everyone is talking about how incredibly underated idlewild is. its so much better this way though. leave them there in the dark corner of the music room so no one but people who actually deserve to hear them can.
@patientpeter Very good, but very naive, if they do not sell records or play reasonable venues, the money is not there, and you cannot run a band on peanuts.
@patientpeter Bands do tend to get a little worse when they get properly hugely famous. Not all, but a lot. I think it's because they're writing about real things when they're just regular people, but then they get famous and all that's happening in their lives are successful things, which good music rarely comes out of unless you're a genius. (Paul Simon, Matt Bellamy, etc)
If u live near glasgow, and know someone who goes to strathclyde, they are playing next month at the strathyclyde uni union :) and its like first come first serve with the tickets :) lol
Awrh awesome thanks, I have several friends at Strathy, I managed to get tickets to Birmingham show though, killing two birds cos I'm visiting friends at the same time.
They played at the Wickerman which is like 10 miles from me and i missed them :(
My sister went to see Idlewild live. I'm so jealous :( They have some outstanding songs :P However, quiet alot of their new stuff isnt anywhere near as good.
We have these guys playing at the Graduation Ball at Dundee University! We are soooooooo lucky. They are fantastic and should be playing better concerts
they look so uncomfortable in this video! love them. such a great tune, reminds me of coming back from staying out all day in the summer holidays when i was 15 and sticking this on full blast :)
idlewild are a hundred times better than the biff . dont get me wrong i like clyro but idlewild are something special , how they arent one of the biggest bands in the world now is beyond me
im a massive idlewild fan but im a bigger biffy fan its just something that biffy do, plus idlewild were massive at one point and biffy were really underground. both amazing bands with amazing music and lyrics
@daveliddle2006 Hmm... See I think they're both just as good in their own ways. I only recently discovered Idlewild but I see where you're coming from. Although in some cases I'd say Neil has a bit more emotion at times... But that's just my opinion =] Just realised this comment was a year ago xD
why did they not release this plugged in version? beats the acoustic version on the album. would love to know if anyone knows where to get a proper quality version of it
at the time of release this was not the version on the album. i got it the day it came out. when they released the song as a single they must've rerecorded it and maybe put it on future releases of the remote part.
i just randomly thought of this song this morning, have no idea why or where thoughts even came from. I love this song, the best Idlewild song in my opinion, its brilliant!
Argh, I've forgotten the vocalists name. Freddy Womble or something like that. Really ugly guy with an amazing voice. Idlewild; possibly the best band in the world. (Even better because their not overly popular with faggot emos ¬_¬ )
love idlewild love all their songs, shame they havnt done more, saw them in 02 and 03 at glastonbury, they was absolutly brilliant!!

you can when the band is splitting up and the only thing left is the music they made, which now has no need for money to keep it going.
