British Sea Power - Please Stand Up

[topiltzinitli]

am I wrong if I remeber Morrisey?

[KaiserChiefCZ]

@topiltzinitli yes

[transonicbuoy1]

Remember: there is no US/UK joke. English is the currency. RN.

[peytonjoy]

This song rocks my socks!!

ps. I hope the Americans vs. the British debate is done here - because frankly I find your behaviors embarrassing. For real people, quit being jerks to each other. I'll never understand - it takes sooo much more energy to be hateful & angry at each other than it does to just simply be nice. If you have all this excess energy, might I suggest going outside & running for...say....a mile. Don't be a twat & continue to argue with unseen people here on the interwebs.

[neverno0]

this is perhaps the best band to form in the past 10 years, how this is not universally recognised is beyond me

[askl23]

@neverno0 This band's ability to inhabit whole different sounds so effortlessly just based on the songs they've written at the time, going from indie pop sounds like here (Open Season) to soundtracks (Man of Aran) to balls-out post-punk (Decline), never ceases to amaze me.

[richimax]

cant wait to see them headlining LeeFest in August

[humfreylegge]

Dude, there is more to America than cussing and violence, there is racism, kleptocracy, neoliberal economics and islamophobia!!!!

Gwad bless 'em

[MusicsDying]

British Sea Power blew my mind.

[evenstevphen]

This is my favourite song ever. Something about it makes me so happy.

[Ogtriff]

@CamersonLowery Oh really? I never knew that! I was born yesterday, and know nothing of what gies on in the world...I am perfectly aware of Americans speeling things differently (wrong), but being who I am, I intensely dislike spelling mistakes, and as you can see, commenting on them generally makes for a humo(u)rous outcome! But I thank you for your concern about my supposed lack of worldly knowledge.

[Ogtriff]

@CamersonLowery Og

[mxofra]

este tipo si tiene un parecido a Frankie de skins

[pisanghangus]

o0o

[askl23]

This song was banned by MTV in the US when it came out for that line "A little excitement makes a' wetter wetter". What a bunch of Puritans,

[polarisrex]

@askl23 As an American, I completely agree. Americans are both sexually obsessed and repressed all at the same time.

[njdevil281]

@polarisrex sounds like your just a virgin lol, heres a thought, how about you don't speak for 300 million fucking people cause honestly your a piss poor representative. 

[polarisrex]

@njdevil281 It's "you're." You also might want to try correct punctuation, fucktard. Wow...talk about a "piss poor representative." Why don't you come back when you can actually form a coherent sentence? Oh, and you also might want to support a hockey team that actually wins games, you fucking twat. Thanks for playing. Better luck next time, asshole.

[njdevil281]

@polarisrex You know you've won the argument when angry people latch onto spelling mistakes lol. Victory for me.

[polarisrex]

@njdevil281 Yes, you've won the argument. Victory for you. Parades will be held in your honor across the nation and you can expect your certificate in the mail. You'll need to sign it, though. Hope you won't need help with that one.

[Ogtriff]

@polarisrex You seem to like correcting spelling mistakes - an admirable pastime, but only if you don't make them yourself. 'Honor' should be spelled: 'Honour'.

[polarisrex]

@Ogtriff Only if I'm a limey. Americans don't spell it that way. Anglocentric much? Or is it just ill-informed? Your move.

[Ogtriff]

@polarisrex Very Anglo-centric. Not your fault, but I'm not so keen on Yanks...They always seem to forget we made America in the first place...Most certainly not ill-informed, *sir*.

[polarisrex]

@Ogtriff Thanks for clearing that up for me. I don't think that Americans seem to forget it as much as I believe that they don't care in the first place. The only people who really bring up such things any more are, well....the British. See, we've moved on.

[Ogtriff]

@polarisrex Well, I think that heritage is important, and while we're here: what exactly has America (and Americans) moved on to?

[polarisrex]

@Ogtriff I just came to this website to listen to this fucking song and watch this fucking video, buddy...not get into a anthropological discussion with someone who clearly ISN'T the authority on America. So take your opinions and shove them up right up your ass. If there's anything else you want to say, say it and be done with it. Otherwise, just leave it. And MOVE ON. Kthxbai.

[Ogtriff]

@polarisrex I came on here to just gently comment on your spelling, not to be sworn at by a random person I don't know, or care to know. Here is what I want to say: America is the only nation in history which has miraculously gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilisation. Oh, and no one can be as calculatedly rude as the British, which amazes Americans, who do not understand studied insult and can only offer abuse as a substitute. Hence your swearing...

[polarisrex]

@Ogtriff  What purpose did it serve by opting to "gently comment" on my spelling? You need to learn to pick your battles more wisely. Your beliefs are exactly that, and the fact that you understand them to be truth is a testament to your lack of insight here. Again, you're not the authority on America....just as I'm not the authority on the British. I'm sorry it's beneath someone like you to swear. It sets an example for all of us. In my heart of hearts, I wish I was more like you.

[Ogtriff]

@polarisrex Well at least we can agree on that. Thank you.

[polarisrex]

@Ogtriff Myopia and hubris do not trump common sense. Hold that close to your deluded little heart. Belittle America all you want, but we know there's more to us than cursing and violence. Now that I've given you a taste of some well thought-out arrogance with which you're obviously quite familiar, allow me to humor you. Fuck off, you snotty prick.

[Ogtriff]

@polarisrex That's also true, but I shall continue to belittle America all I want. I accept that I am not the foremost authority on America, and there is more to some of you than cursing and violence. Again, however, you degrade this whole argument by pointlessly swearing in a pathetic attempt to either frighten me off or make yourself look 'cool' to all the other (dare I say it?) Americans out there who are in to "cursing". Be careful how you bandy words, or you may meet with a harsh peripetaia

[Ogtriff]

Respond to this video...  Oh, and I assume you mean "humour you"?

[CamersonLowery]

@Ogtriff In case you didn't know, us Yankees spell some words a bit differently. Humor, color, pretty much we take out the "u" after "o"s.

[Manseb]

@Ogtriff why make idiotic generalisations about a country with 300 million individuals? Americans differ from state to state, city to city and subculture to subculture. It's probably one of the most diverse countries in the world. And I'm an Indian born Australian.

[jeffcrapinthehead]

What an amazing song. Loved it instantly as soon as the guitar kicks at the start, it's like, oh yes this is going to be great. Just discovered this band this is the first song I listened to. Completely addicted now. Best British band of the last 10 years!

[murf10]

Just booked to see them in Dublin,can't wait :)

[RawrImBi]

best band ever. <3

[WanderingTwin1]

amazing!

[richyboy77]

awesome



[renatog1l]

[srbcf]

@KevinInSweden1 was thre also they rocked

[Chelsipie84]

the brothers are hot!

[740Park]

Love them.

[evenstevphen]

Love this song. Seriously my new favourite band, I've been looking for a solid group for a long time.

[jayne61123]

i think this song is brill!!! bsp will be at rock house in derby on october 12th and i will be there!!!!

[TheQueenMalika14]

lool how GOOOFY!

[SeherCinema]

they are so amazing... I love BSP!

[CheGuefisher]

two of the band members are from my home town

[SilentBombr]

such an underrated band... they are really talented

[Ferentix]

Did I just make a really low quality rip of my copy of "Open Season", or is this version of the song much richer than the one found on the album? I have to get the CD out to check now (low tech here I come!)

[schwarzblatt]

This man sounds like Butler from the Psychedelic Furs.

[zaidabanksnyc]

Beautiful song!!You are right Rodders2000 :)

[ernestotemira15]

q apaticos!!

no'mbre.... es broma. antes q me linchen. amo a BSP...

[Cleyde19]

muy buena cancion!!!

[hyde711034]

fantastic

[cazzosa]

Hamilton looks alike Hugh Grant, definitely hot!

[rodders2000]

these guys never got the credit they deserved for their first album. now their on their fourth and there still as fucking good. my ex-girlfriend used to think the lead singer sounded like David Bowie. Anyone who hasnt heard 'The Decline of British Sea Power' go and get it. it still fuckin rocks man

[RebelRabbleLeeds]

Correct one of the greatest albums ever made....Glenn

[ernestotemira15]

all their records wiil always do rock!!!!!

[zaidabanksnyc]

I Agree with you,British Sea Power is a fantastic band,with fantastic records,especially the first one (my favourite),and even so,they don't any credit,I think I am the only person who knows this band in Argentina haha.

[diazlavalladeandres]

y yo el unico en mexico jajaja.... buena banda... aca no es nada conocida

[marcesim20]

@zaidabanksnyc mmm.. no te creas eeh?? jeje :).. ya somos 2!

[zaidabanksnyc]

@marcesim20 Buenisimooo dos siiiii XD yo hablo con un chico de Inglaterra que su amigo iba al colegio con el baterista de BSP ♥ Saludos!!!desde Argentina :)

[roadrunnermus3]

@rodders2000

He sure sounds like David Bowie on this one :)

[neiltay2002]

@rodders2000 I agree with what you say in absolute totality. It's just when you say they never "got" the credit they deserve. They still may. They undoubtedly deserve to be heard a great deal more than they have been over the past 7 years. Can't bloody wait for a new album from them. Man of Arran was a nice piece of work, but I'd like to see a regular non-soundtrack album from them again pretty sharpish!

[thyy]

Suddenly thought of the melody of this song, So I click into youtube and listen it now. Still that good as I first listened.

[violator2442]

Awesome

[thyy]

What a joke here man. Their name is self-explanatory. lol. They must like Britain a lot.

[BjornHolmoy]

I love the epic sound

[Einarspuppy]

It's a pretty cool song/band...but the signer constantly sounds like he's about to take a nap! Sing like you mean it!

[Konner]

What guitars do they use?

[Jeffmig22]

Richenbacher? Maybe.

[smallbritishman]

one of the best bands around today, love them

[Konner]

Dude whats the name of the guitar the singer uses?

[eyedam]

Bob or Bill. Dunno, who cares? It's the music that matters!

[xx33rroo]

What's the brand of the guitarist's blue shirt?

[BItOrNotGeorgeIAtH]

I love this song, but, oh god, they look like robots.

[wesleyanrun10]

for everybody who didn't hear this song in concert, apparently this song didn't appeal to a large group of their fans...but i think this song is great. this is the kind of song you hear on the radio at three in the morning when you are driving somewhere and it stays stuck in your head

[plzIneedhelp]

did they start booing or ?

[scouser691]

Blissfully good. This band is better than anything I've heard in ages.

[peejoui]

Horrifically and stupidly under-rated band.....they're superb, and this is exquisite.

[itechnodanceaphobic]

i saw them at roundhouse a few weeks ago.

they didn't play this song though.

but they were undoubtably the best live band i've ever seen.

great song.

[mikership]

Excelent!!! this is a good song...

[BettieRazorblade]

gorgeous song, they were so good at Reading.

[colokat]

I saw them at Reading too. Shame they didn't play this one

[pointlesspeasant]

Gorgeous, amazing, huuuuge... anyone got the chords by any chance??? they're nowhere on the net...

[Tommiddlecoat]

please stand up... please stand up... please stand up!

[sweetheart4505]

Love it!!

[wastedlittleharpist]

Yes, they're going to Holland :D and I'm going to see them!!! (I think...)

[seventyeight]

This is my favourite song of theirs.

[gabe25591]

I love the heavily stylised but effectively simple video :D

Of course, the song is also amazing

[Robintheologie]

Oh my God! I discovered them yesterday and it's already eye-opening to me. They are unbelievable!! There coming to Holland in the summer!!!

[weaselmister09]
