This band is epic and they deserve all the fame they get from their music, unlike fucking Kesha who only got famous because there are a lot of retards in the U.S.
White lies need more exposure, they hit the scene well. But now they need to push on and hopefully release a new albumn just as good as this one soon.
purely epic!!!! and yeah he does sound so much like ian curtis, the whole album is simply amazing but this song in particular gives me goosebumps!, joy division lives through white lies!!!
the white lies remind me so much of joy division. the lead singer has the same vocals and tone as ian curtis. i have fallen in love with this album so much. its doing my wifes head in coz i keep playing over and over haha. time to reminiss listening to this. whish there was a vis
I like this song, not only because its catchy, but because it actually tells a story and you want to actually listen to the lyrics all the way through.... awesome song.
Amazing!!!!!!!! Can't wait for their next album!! :) "I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral, he took time out to be seen... H e didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon... Crossed hir arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again!!! He sat inches from the wife of the desease!!!"
i loved this album when it came out for the fact from start to finish it reaked of originallity wich is hard to come by in a music scene full of fakes..
I'm a 43 years old french guy....my fav band is The Sound....obviously from the 80's......i have to say that i hate today's music.......To lose my life is an ufo in the music industry.......absolutly brilliant....it's good to see young people who know what music is.....
@parrishcc0027 have you heard of this new technology called "Google" I hear it's kicking up quite a fuss - apparently you can search for anything you want
hi, well i like stuf like muse, editors, joy division, killers, interpol, keane, the fray, etc. and loads of amazing 80s bands like dm, the cure, echo and the bunnymen, new order, etc.
che triste..mi ricorda quei giorni a Firenze..che bello..:( peccato che siano passati 7 mesi ormai e io non mi sono ancora dimenticata di te..al contrario tuo..
Best indie band ever because they r nothing like indie lol. Really like them but what the hell genre r they. to heavy ( and good) for indie, i think rock it is.
Just saw White Lies with Kings Of Leon in concert last night. I went right to my computer as soon as I got home and downlouded their songs! They are awsome I wish I knew them earlier
I looked at it more of a guy who is a celebrity but is not happy with his life. Things he looked at before isn't as good as it is now. The whole what happened to the buildings when he is going though his old city, when he was happy they looked great but now all grown up and has all this money but finds himself not happy.
This is amazing, never had heard about whitelies till i heard farewell to the fairground, almost all the songs I've heard of theirs are good, E.S.T is my fav after farewell to the fairground...
thought thet were ok the 1st time i heard the album 2nd time i loved them now i think they r going 2 b up there with radiohead and killers but prob bigger
I'll be seeing them for the second time in November. I really really cannot wait! Think I might go kidnap them and force them to do a private gig, that's how much I can't wait!!!
I'd say exactly the opposite. I like the short, metaphorical snapshot stories of their fatalistic world view while the instrumental is just monotonous and lacks melody. My suggestion: Go for poetry or exchange the keyboard player, the guitarist and the drummer - basically everyone. :-p
REALLY good, the lyrics makes me so sad though their stuff goes so deep... but thats good! but sometimes i dont wanna be sad... but yeah AWESOME SONG!!!! GREAT!!!!!!! :)
and the song lifts my feelings up! and makes me happy!!! :) GREAT!!!!!! WOOW YEAHHHH! goes deep and makes me so happy and makes me wanna get up and dance! (but still I feel down, confused listening to the lyrics, so sad and stuff but tells you about the guy... deep stuff!)! :)
Not much music these days can provoke emotion!! just shows good talent! and anyway the whole point of music is to convey emotion, alot of people forget that!
uhh im from the U.S. and im in love with White Lies
