@xRyuzakii true i tell ya but i think she really love Flux :),still i aint heard her for a while now and there is a funny smell coming from next door,mmmmmmm she must have gone on holiday lol
bloc party's songs will never die, there havin a break atm and they deserve it after 3 amazing albums. When they come bk, bet there 4th album will be brill!
My take is maybe the person is away at uni and has 2 years left. Would make sense for the line whole new you- educated maybe loss of innocence, the line about shedding so many tears-the distance and time they're apart. I guess that's what is so cool about music is we can create these stories and interpretations based on our own experience/wonder.
i wonder how many times hes been in an underage relationship, from this song to "little thoughts" its about being in love with a girl/guy (cuz hes bi i think) and its an under age relationship. any stories anyone?
I think I understand what youre saying but in this song he hasn't said a thing about age, it could be that his love lives far away and can't leave that place, however in little toughts he does sings "if it's cos my age then you're a coward" so could be about and underage relationship?
This is the version of the song without the extended lyrics, that was released a bit later. I don't know why they wouldn't make the video with the extended verse but oh well. I agree the song is much better with this bit.
can sombody tell me theyre best album or songs because i dont know which 1s to get ive already got a weekend in the city and its okbut not amazing do they have better??? help
Weekend in the City is their weakest album, I think! Silent alarm and Intimacy are brilliant... My favourite songs would be Little Thoughts, This Modern Love, I still remember, Signs, Blue Light, Helicopter, Like eating glass!
no it is intimacy without a doubt, it is the bands best showcase of themselves as musicians, it very diverse musically and carries their best work. the two b-sides are better than some songs on SA
SILENT ALARM....every song on this album is mint sweet and class.i highly reccomend.p.s i wish i was in ur situation bcoz ur about to witness a masterclass when u purchase it...ur welcome
Doch, es ist auf jeden Fall meine Riesenchance, aber mit sehr vielen Verlustängsten verbunden. Ich möchte das aber auf jeden Fall machen und schaffen.
no man, it was just released as a single inbetween silent alarm and a weekend in the city. there was hopes of it being on a weekend, but it didn't make it
