[MrBABEL79]

ETERNA :)



[pisandLOV314]

this song sounds like it's echoing through the universe

[haycorns71]

Shades of 80s new wavers Magazine going on here but while it might draw on the past like all great bands they take us somewhere new. Very good.

[AnonNath]

@haycorns71 know exactly what you mean mate, i thought it was mix of Duran Duran and the Futureheads when i heard it on the radio

[kattogo]

Top Gear!! In the S18E03 Fiat panda test part 

[FernandoNINETorres]

One Direction got best single of the year at the Brits........

Now...i deserve a slap for lowering myself to say this.

But its sad, really it is, when there is music like this to hear.

[slammy102]

Woah! discovered these guys only yesterday (I dont listen to radio/watch tv much cause of all the crap) These guys are awesome and this tune is fantastic!

[FernandoNINETorres]

@slammy102 You would of loved the Brits then mate........truely horride!

[gullivera]

This reminds me of Synchronicity 2 by The Police.

[konnichiwaneku]

neo-post punkQ!

[NarniaofHogwarts]

Fearne Cotton braught me here

[MrNaughtyaughty]

nice to hear a band who produce proper music and have the potential to take back the top 40 charts from the manufactured pop rnb rubbish... im sick of it me... love this tune and i wish you guys the best of luck with the career i found this on the polydor records website, fascinated with the making of the video for this with the arts department and the specialist cameras.

[geomcarlodicintio]

I thought was 70th...Reminds me that kind PEZZO DA BRIVIDI...Complimenti dall'ITALIA!!!

[looph3]

reminds me of The Jam

[lukester99999]

The maccabees finest hour..............



[Edwards3Carrots]

[KoddyX]

@23IFrench so is it wrong than if i am not a hipster but still listen to music like this?

[JamesUSDJohnson]

@KoddyX no it doesnt

[johnnycheck99]

Where are these guys from and have they been around for a long time?

[KUSHnelson]

such nice guys too, i met them when we were playing a show at the same place, but different stage. we parked next to their tour bus <3

[DanJamesAllen]

intro reminds me slightly of adam and the ants prince charming

[nobodypersonsomeone]

Really good.

[36darkus]

[meulesteen1984]

When i first heard this song i thought it was an 80's song and i mean that as a compliment.

[KUSHnelson]

@meulesteen1984 listen to Everything Everything, i think you'll like :)

[pitherla]

[scufferchelle]

MICHELE MICHELE MICHELE MICHELE!!! Ahahahah Tropical Pizza

[YUNGADUSKY]

1 your best songs

[TheChronicR]

It wasn't love at first sight, but it's definitely love I feel about this song.

[LongableTV]

Come to Glasgow..

[Eeli2008]

really like this song

[Interbasser]

This song is simply amazing. Beautiful

[carlo88moe]

the album, while beautiful and haunting,was 4me a disappointment.i was hope full an album along the line of this song immediate yet very compelling and epic when it culminates.But the album is mostly very airy,kinda esoteric songs,with few memorable moments. kinda an amorphous blob of reverbed guitars&vocals, but hardly any ROCK sensibility like this song. that blend of rock rhythm and interesting effect made this song AWESOME&leaves much to be desired from the album.THIS SONG is its best MOMENT

[dwohamilton]

so bad

[IpswichTilliDie1]

One of my all time favorite bands is finally getting the recognition it deserves!! Soo chuffed :D

[Laspher]

Don't understand the hype.. bit boring for me.

[FrenchDogWrapper]

ANDY GOLDSWORTHY + MACCABEES = SUPREME AWESOMENESS

[lollyjnXX]

I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! :D

[lollyjnXX]

@lollyjnXX SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[Sascopa]

@pritchardali an*

You're welcome :)

[hiyerdolly]

AWFUL song :/

[dguy96]

@hiyerdolly Crap music.

[dguy96]

This is ok, but it still sounds like fucking advert music. Funny how this is the best music indie has to offer.

[dguy96]

@TheVaiso Ok, fine I was tired. Im sorry. Its your taste in music, whatever is your taste in music is, its up to you.

[dguy96]

@TheVaiso I needed to rant at something.

[FantabulousNoise]

@dguy96 The UK overrates the UK. I'm liking the leak of the new Cloud Nothings album...haven't finished this song but it's not as good. The reverb alone is probably not going to help the recording endure as a good one.

[carlo88moe]

@FantabulousNoise yeah the rest of the album goes into too many of these reverb laden places, gets too repetitious and really we're left with not much in terms memorable melodies and songs, not a single good pop tune besides this one...i mean, its quite lovely at times and has this kinda cosmic fascination about it, but its a bummer

[04twillshaw]

@jesterrace91 You're lucky if you have never encountered that waste of space.

[RockJunkie94]

LIKE THE MACCABEES?? > CHANCE TO GO TO AN AWESOME MACCABEES AFTERPARTY. EXCLUSIVE EVENT. DJ SET PERFORMED BY THE BAND + RADIO 1's ZANE LOWE WILL BE THERE + OTHER GREAT LIVE BANDS. LONDON, BRIXTON JAMM, 26 JANUARY 2012. MESSAGE ME FOR INFO & TICKETS! EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR AND MAYBE EVEN MEET THE BAND!!

[TheOLAMOur]

@RockJunkie94 Turn caps lock off.

[jesterrace91]

Love this song, also who the fuck is Fearne Cotton?

[bonjourawr]

@jesterrace91 How the hell do you not know Fearne Cotton?

...Unless you're American. That could be the logical explanation.

[jesterrace91]

@bonjourawr Dutch actually. I guess it's still a logical explanation.

[bonjourawr]

@jesterrace91 Fair enough, guess she's only big in Britain! :)

[jenepasvousamour]

@jesterrace91 radio presenter on bbc radio 1.

[Laspher]

@jesterrace91 She's a radio presenter and TV presenter.

[qwer8907]

uninspiring not a fan of the vocalist the rest sounds ok just my first impression

[Karlos0412]

B E A OOTIFUL..! Thanks again to the Macabbees for producing another sterling tune for me to tap my leg to while driving the motor...!

[gaz300569]

awesome! love this record, 60`s vibe 70s etc, just something new, love it! am watching ya!

[Niaboc10]

It's all about the tunes. And this is awesome. I hope they get loads of new fans, they deserve to be bigger than they are. There is a lack of good guitar music at the moment, we need these guys to inspire others. Let the bandwagon chasers spend their cash on this album and this band! Maccabees rule.

[cwebberify]

everyone shut up and enjoy the music.

[therosetyrant]

Must say the album cover is fricking immense.

[thecolours1234]

Can't wait for the album!

[tim26joyner]

so excited for new album 8 days!!!!

[ImHamz]

why are people complaining about the maccabees becoming popular? wouldn't you want them to do well and makes some money so they are able to produce more and more music for us? or are you just going to sit there, watching their videos on youtube without ever buying the album and complain when new people listen to them. god, some of you people are really selfish.

[angharadj05]

@ImHamz i totally agree! cound't have said it better my self.

[ChateuxRoux]

gona be a cracking new album!!

[ClarkeyMalarky]

words cant describe..... Honestly!

[Sascopa]

YEAH, I fucking hate Fearne Cotton for informing me about this absolute stunner of a tune!! I really wanted to spend hours trawling through a massive fuck-off pile of hipster garbage, on the off chance I might find something decent.

And I heard it at work on the radio instead, thus cheering my whole day up, and earning the Maccabees a new album buyer. So pissed off right now.

#hipstermusicalsnobscanfuckoff

[yearsley1234]

@Sascopa What? Other people like the Maccabees? Now I don't.

[Sascopa]

@yearsley1234 Pfft ;)

[knorth94]

@Sascopa #hashtagsbelongontwitter

[Sascopa]

@knorth94 #potsandkettlesmuch

[23lFrench]

@Sascopa You sound like you need to listen to some Post Rock, seriously chill we are all hipsters here.

[Sascopa]

@23lFrench Thanks, I do enjoy a bit of post-rock here and there, as it happens.... and speak for yourself hehe ;P

[dezdrizdraz]

@23lFrench hipsters? ARE YOU SURE. this is a good song, who gives a fuck about hipsters..this is the maddabees mate.

[scufferchelle]

@23lFrench

[wowspare]

@23lFrench wtf hipster.....

[carlo88moe]

@Sascopa you use twitter so incessantly i bet you end all your sentences with hashtags...pffft, just like a proper hipster

[Sascopa]

@carlo88moe Your accuracy has dumbfounded me -_-

You simple cunt :)

[carlo88moe]

@Sascopa why thank you, and don't you mean #yousimplecunt

[Sascopa]

@carlo88moe You're welcome! And no, wrong again :) never mind.

[kface001]

@Sascopa I understand what your saying, and totally agree with you. But I always realise its annoying when you love a band since you were 15 and all of a sudden everyones jumping on the band wagon cus of one annoying cunt

[inculoalbalena]

@kface001 why is it annoying? It doesn't stop you enjoying it, if anything it just makes more people happy. be more generous! Having said that it's very much glass houses for me me in this case :)

[thejackroller]

@Sascopa. Granted there's no reason for anyone to moan about radio one listeners "ruining" their favourite band, but do you know what a hipster is, or are you just using the term lazily because they're a bit of a trendy hate figure? The Maccabees have never been an underground band, and you wouldn't have to 'spend hours trawling' through anything to find them. Maybe read the album reviews section of your daily newspaper?

[welovetheview]

@Sascopa absaloute love you !

fucking legand

[tooyjfwn]

@Sascopa Fuck you, I hated fearne cotton before it was 'cool'!

[stebs1690]

FUCK FEARNE COTTON !!!!!!

[ShaeOceania]

[evilclunt]

Never really listened to this lot before although I've heard the name. This, however, is one of the best songs I've heard in fecking ages. I can sense an album purchase brewing...

[kaman3]

[RockJunkie94]

[klpaah]

The egg shaped thing is a structure by Andy Goldsworthy. He only makes art out of found natural objects, and uses no artificial material to make them stick together. If they last, they last. But many of his installations fall apart after only a short time. Kinda like life.

[NathnSm1th]

Macca's, gutted I'll be missing you lot in Glasgow due to Explosions in the Sky playing the same day!

[lllleeds]

great, great, great song

[sootysutcliffe]

The lyrics really are the best part of the maccabees.

[MrStrictlyBodacious]

[darrenkristof]

[Heston68]

Despite the intro sounding reminiscent of "Eye of the Tiger", I love this.

[Bettyboop10377]

@Heston68 Hahaa, Eye of the Tiger (nice) Loving this too!!!

[sollge]

This is very reminiscent of Everything Everything's style, no?

[CRG7300]

There is a bit of progressive style in this tune. Defenetly, it has good vibe..and I enjoyng it so much.

[kaaarikaari]

i'm love with this :)

[archieharris94]

very dissapointing :( hopefully a grower!

[rosieeeD]

@archieharris94 Don't worry, I felt the same at the beginning but now I have it on repeat :D

[fuckyouremotions]

17 dickheads

[deepspacenin]

The energy in this song is amazing

[ganstafish123]

I'm so depressed that they are not touring america.

[Littlelionliam]

March tour announced!! BOOM lets all dress up as pelicans, Who's with me?

[Quill546]

The charts are a croc of shit anyway bought by 12 year old girls with their pocket money - this is real talent - real music!

[IzzBizz96]
