I actually think this live version sounds a lot better than the album version. Amazing song! Man Alive is probably the best album of the last 3 years!
@mrjoeington My interpretation is that the song is about a fox being ran over by a car (describing the car as a 'banshee roaring past'.
"And I am almost up to the shoulders of a horse." I think the fox is crawling towards a horse or perhaps a person riding a horse, but as It has been seriously injured it can only crawl / or is lying on the floor, and can only see the shoulders of the horse. Something like that..
Great version, only thing that puts me off this live video is how dry the vocals are, that hall is massive! WHERE IS THE VERB!? Watched this gig live online. AWESOME! Well done guys!
@Jackerius17 the gig you watched live was in Union Chapel but it wasn't on little noise sessions like this. It was their own headline gig, with a small orchestra, those are just violins. I did watch it too though, the sound was immense, better than this even.
soo excited to receive the new album. had to order one for me here in switzerland and one for my sister in NYC. can't wait to stick it in the car radio and NEVER take it out!!! yay!!!

super 1ere partie au concert de Keane a bedgebury le 11 juin 2010, je ne connaissais pas, et franchement c'est vraiment génial, j'aime beaucoup...vivemet qu'ils viennent en france.
@EvrythingEvrything Cardiacs have inspired so many bands over the years, that its probably come around somewhere. Sounds like it in some of your other music as well. With your own unique spin on it, of course. Great gig tonight...
i heard my kz ur bf and was blown away. then i heard suffragette suffragette and thought that was even better. but this is something else entirely. even in the unlikely event of the album been shocking it will be worth buying for these songs alone. top stuff!
Oh man, this was my favourite song they did. I honestly had goose bumps all over my body. I want this song so much. The sound in that place was just... ah, amazing.
I'm really excited about these guys and i love them to bits!!. Lucky enough to see them in Southampton last year and these guys WILL be big in 2010!!!
I first saw you guys when you supported The Automatic and ever since you've been one of my favourite bands, you were awesome then and you still are now. Cant wait for the album.
When does your album come out? I seriously cannot wait. Here in America all you hear on the radio are recycled remixes of 80's pop and popular songs from about 4 years ago. You guys keep me hoping that I'll hear something good on the radio someday...
Violins sort of ruined it :/ Otherwise class!

I have to say that i never used to like this kind of music. I always used to think that it wasn't exciting enough and wondered why people liked it.
But you guys are just phenomanol. You have totally changed my view and opened doors to a whole new world of brilliant music.
For that I can only thankyou
Keep it up :)

@ReeceHughesRocks Personally I'd recommend Doubt, Acolyte, Halcyon, Counterpoint.
But definitely the whole album. I bought 'Acolyte', their latest album and its definitely worth it.

Just bought the debut album yesterday and all I can say is that it's one of the best albums I've heard in recent years.
Highlights on the album are Tin, NASA, Final Form and Photoshop. But in saying that, there isn't any filler.
Congrats, Everything Everything. I, and the majority of listeners to the album, are massively impressed and can't wait to hear more!
