The Twilight Sad "I Became A Prostitute" (Long Version) Fatcat Records

[TheHumanWreckage]

@nzankich pfft if it wasn't for that broad Scottish accent this song would sound completely generic.

[richeegee]

Editors but from Scotland? lets not talk of boundaries anymore though.... this is everything I want and more

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

@richeegee This doesn't sound a thing like Editors, who are Interpol UK anyways.

[steponme1371]

nah cuz theirs isnt as strong as WWPJP and TTS

[alotofcheese76]

HOLY SHIT this sounds like the Jesus and mary chain

[steponme1371]

this reminds me of we were promised jetpacks and elefant

[ConwayS87]

@steponme1371 The only thing The Twilight Sad and Jetpacks have in common is the country they come from. They're nothing similar.

[steponme1371]

@ConwayS87 i guess its just the accent that make them seem like one another

[ConwayS87]

@steponme1371 In the same way Britney Spears sounds similar to Green Day?

[zazmatyk]

the sound and look of these guys is really similar to mew. where re they from?

[interpolluter29]

@zazmatyk Scotland

[IvyPane]

loldidanyoneseetheboobs

[ResevoirGod]

@nzankich That's the best bit about the song you cunt.

[ConwayS87]

@nzankich Get fucked ya nobjockey

[hound03]

I just before I posted this saw a twilight sad video for the first time. The bearing that has is that I have been listening to them religiously for three years. Belown away. I got this album when I was in **** and I loved it.

[daveyharsh]

FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND ...

[MyManface]

does anyone have a guitar tab for this song? or even just the chords would be awesome. im not very good at guitar but i would love learn to play this.

[beowulven]

Listen to the great Scottish band Lowlife.

[ChocolateExplosion]

@beowulven yeah lowlife did some great tracks

[MaskedNaco]

HOT AS HELL!

[carick235]

just amazing, love it!

[cyrylm]

That's great, and the Scottish accent :)

[jonathanrefuge]

dark and yummy

[GennyDark]

She looks like Bettie Page.

[bigtimecharlie36]

@Nutgenius your right that cover is epic!!!

[redcommando1]

@nutgenius I'm sorry! but The twilight Sad and MGMT don't mix, I'm sure the cover is great in all...... but MGMT are pretentious "mammy's boys" idiots! whilst The twilight sad are proper working class heroes!.

[Danoftherocks]

i met them in houston with they opened for Mogwai. The bass player said their managers "are cunts!".

[Defensiven]

into this!

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

Love their records, but I mad the mistake of getting a live album and it was SHIT. No guitar at all

[funktionalism]

@DistrictSleeper I felt sorry for the singer mind, poor sod's mic coming undone. Good performance from them mind, and I'm glad you enjoyed the gig as much as I did!

[guyfromnewcastle]

@funktionalism At the Sage, right? I heard their set was marred by sound problems :-(

[funktionalism]

Saw these were opening for Mogwai tonight, decided to give them a listen so I knew what to expect. And I've been blown away, I'm just as excited to see these as Mogwai now.

[MarkGauvreau]

Such terrible beauty.

[veloctiygirl]

excellent video, just found out they are supporting Mogwai when i see them next month it will be excellent. Been waiting to see these for ages.

[MixMastaShizz]

Saw them when they opened for Mono. I thought they were shitty when they played. The mixing was terrible.

They're decent when I can actually hear what its supposed to sound like.

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

@MixMastaShizz

I don't know why they sound so bad live.

[MixMastaShizz]

@ShortRoundMcFly72 Yea like the only thing I could hear were the bass and his voice. The guitar didn't exist and the drums were surprisingly inaudible.

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

@MixMastaShizz

They are one of those bands who need a lot of producers and such to tie them down, otherwise they become too avant garde for their own good. I've read in interviews the lead singer wants them to become a noisier sort of band but the label won't let them.

[interpolluter29]

@MixMastaShizz Hmm. I thought they were fine when they played here in Boston.

[MaskedNaco]

5 idiots are justin beiber fans!

congratulations scotland!

you have another great band to be proud of

[defnetox]

Essa música é linda!

E o vídeo melhor ainda!

Muito bom mesmo!

[teeveeface]

:') new obsession much? (:

[mrpaddington1]

amazing song

[forgetthefuture]

I want this song to be about the film Breaking the Waves. But I've probably just been studying too much. Great song, either way.

[transitsauce]

@forgetthefuture excellent film!

[kerryguy1]

aboy murray

[EoinMurMur93]

This is fecking terrific!! this is the first band in recent months that have grabbed my attention STRAIGHT away. fantastic

[GhostlyWays]

How do you do that Scotland? Mogwai, Arab Strap, The Twilight Sad, Belle and Sebastian, Frightened Rabbit, We Were Promised Jetpacks and so on, so many GREAT bands. This song is absolutely inmense and Forget the Night Ahead is just too fucking good.

[AlinaFall]

I', absolutely fascinated by theis song and video as well!

[swimgr11]

I've listened to this song like 5 times a day. So great. The video is perrrfect.

[TheFourOhFIve]

Long ago, the 405 shot a video session with the Twilight Sad. Watch 'Seven Years of Letters' and more on the 405's channel.

[FakePlasticJamie]

Amazing :D

[miecz69]

absolutnie arcyprzecudne!!!  :)

[fhdfba007]

scottish musicians are very talented.. their sound is unique.

[irotinmyskin]

that girl is old school hot!

[guyfromnewcastle]

A fascinating video... Good work lads!

[salsollo]

Great song!

Nice great new stuff out up in Scotland!! Amazed at the song!

Great post!

[krookroorocket]

how'd they sneak the nipples past youtube. . .

[hopeithinkiknow88]

i love that the radio doesn't play this...they would strangle and devour everything we love about our favourite bands. it's happened before and it would happen again. After Fourteen Autumns I questioned whether the new album would live up to expectations....of course i shouldn't have doubted them, they've come through with the goods once again!

[JaysEatingWorld]

the radio sucks. don't you just love crappy r & b tracks about fake relationships? I know i do:p

[HomicidalPicnic]

10 months later...still in love.

[Remsterz1975]

F*kkin A, I just luv this Riff... gRRRRReat song...

[mikkie1979]

I just can't stop listening to this song; music, lyrics: it's just perfect!!!!

@bigliambhoy: you should sign up for last fm (on internet) there you create your own music station and you can discover tons of new bands (and most of them don't get played on radio)

[piadox]

@mikkie1979 joining lastfm would be useless in this case, since the label has not uploaded this album.... still 9 months after its release.

Also, whoever uploaded the Killed My Parents album over there, replaced all the studio versions of FA&FW because they didn't add "(Live)" to the song tags. *lazy work*

[LTcottam]

Can't wait to see these guys live tomorrow night! :)

[thedrunkpianist]

i just discovered this band by browsing through amoeba store records in hollywood. great band, i immediately fell in love with atmospheric sound..very melancholic.

[ProtoType989]

You gotta love the melancholic music acts that England and Scotland tend to produce... Take bands like Glasvegas, My Dying Bride and, of course, The Twilight Sad for example - so genuinly melancholic in a way that only brittish rock artists seem to be able to creat... xP

[thetruegents]

stoater

[BridgetHearts]

ohmygosh! i have a crazy obsession with this band but they never seem to be given the correct praises!

i still love them cause they are real & genuine artists!

<3<3

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

and if we bleed you dry. . .

[guyfromnewcastle]

was anybody here a voider on the void??? if u were once part of the john earls brigade come a chat, i miss it!

[Themole4672]

seeing them biffy clyro in a couple of months they shall be immense

[Exhibitionismist]

These guys are better than Biffy Clyro

[JoshPerrick]

I want to merry Pattison i just finished watching Twilight Eclipse at TwilightEclipseUnseen[dot]tk Its so great

[DMBHawk]

@JoshPerrick you completely fail at plugging your fail sites.

[piadox]

That guitar after the first verse... it KILLS me!!!

Last time I saw them play it live, it blew me away how epic it sounded. Can't wait for May! :D

[KellyInTheSky]

my favourite song from tts

[vally1971]

One of my favorite song ever, amazing to drive with!!! Thanks Ian Rankin!!!

[vally1971]

One of my favorite song ever, amazing to drive with!!! Thanks Ian Rankin!!!

[vally1971]

One of my favorite song ever, amazing to drive with!!! Thanks Ian Rankin!!!

[juniorthejina]

mon the kilsyth boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fluffywalrus]

The chorus of this song is so intense.

What a song, what an album.

[miquelramirez]

El estilo y el registro del cantante me suena muchísimo como el de The National, pero también tiene un punto Interpol. No está mal.

His voice sounds to me a lot like The National, but with a healthy dose of Interpol on "Turn On The Bright Lights". Not bad.

[beowulven]

I listen to this album every day. Brilliant.

[andymac1873]

Fucking bloody fantastic

[amazingrace666]

AWESOME!!! I like..is so f*king cool

:D

[Robtheomg]

Love it!

[LipsLikeSugar78]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!!!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. ;)

[bigliambhoy]

i really hate how most radio station choose not to play these unique songs, alot of people are really missing out on some great music

[CiaranXD]

@bigliambhoy BBC Radio 6 Music plays music like this and also a lot of unsigned stuff. That's where i discovered bands like The XX and Mumford & Sons. Unfortunatly though the BBC are going to drop this station which will be a major blow to small bands waiting to be discovered.

[mrjoecool]

@bigliambhoy

dont you feel like though. There's something special about it not being played on the radio. Also, there's an infinite amount of bands that people "wish" were on the radio. If the mainstream stations played all of it, it would make for some strange stations that noone ever listens to. Radio 1 actually has some great shows. you just gotta dig deep and stay up late :D

I'm on your side, but, this music is perfect kept secret. know what i mean?

[hojoslugger301]

@bigliambhoy listen to a local college radio station. they usually have good dj's that play more alternative stuff like this.

[RockOnAlfred]

@bigliambhoy The radio stations don't get a say, really. Radio promoters aren't marketing them to big radio stations, because they don't have enough mass commercial appeal. If you're in the states NCR is a good bet. Elsewhere, I'm not sure.

[Cazaq]

NME sucks.

[beowulven]

Absolutely correct.

[ectokinetic]

this is simply excellent work, hands down!

[ekszentrik]

Not enough exposions and car stunts for your taste?

[Tonibauch]

the voice, the sound, i love it

[mtlns]

Ditto. Also the artwork for their albums sucks, I don't really see/feel any connection between their music and these

[nichizorro]

NOT at All!! their Artwork are masterpieces!!! Its different,crude and pretty interesting!

thats what drag me into this band

[delgado4652]

Men's Health is the reason I heard about this song!! =D haha I like it!

[Kinshasa9200]

seriously? damn... i guess i should subscribe

[delgado4652]

Yeah that magazine has advice, info and tips for every little thing you could possible imagine. It's worth checking out IMO

[castma83]

what did the mag mention about TS? I looked crazily through both UK and American Men's Health and couldn't find anything.

[delgado4652]

Oh well every month they give about three songs and bands to listen to and this song was one of the ones they mentioned. They don't actually talk about them tho

[beatflylab]

great! his voice is so deep like a black mind trip!

tomorrow in Rome

[catetatonic7420]

Great video. Love this song a lot. My top 10 this 2009.

[aniimamiina]

My favorite band for these days

[thatiamdisco]

WOW, This is great!

[grogen66]

Me encanta esta banda y mi cancion favorita es reflection of the television. el disco esta chido

[Corduroyism]

Love the video and I can t stop playing this song every day before I leave the house. SO many great bands from Scotland right now makes me very proud of my country!!! Amazing !!!!!!!

[thedrunkpianist]

@Corduroyism

greetings, from los angeles California. i'm open new suggestions! please stop by to my channel to drop some few names. i'm in need for new good music,

[MrGenitalWarts9]

@Corduroyism Welcome to the music industry, not too many great artists are on the radio anymore.

[castma83]

great song

[fishingrhod]

did i tell you that i think they're wonderful? well they bloody well are!

[fishingrhod]

i think this is truly wonderful. my only fear is that they will become another Snow Patrol or somesuch.

please, please keep the swirling guitar noise element. the public don't need another "indie by numbers" act.

i really do think that highly of them.

[TheThinMan1]

Scottish accent as a lead singer is fucking sweet!!

Betttie Page doesnt hurt as well.

[jodivizion]

nice ....

[iveatemyeyes]

one of the greatest bands in the world today

[walkos69]

chyba mam nowy ulubiony zespół :)

[oldrottenhead]

makes me proud to be scottish awesome

[HannotNah]

what a tune....

[AusMedic89]

man this song is addictive

[dgibson90]

musical perfection, this new album is going to be some fucking follow up!! actually cannot wait!

[Kubiak04]

Dang I'm not crazy about this music but it's interesting, methinks i'll download the album for free.

[mpol6691]

Not a bad song. Does anyone know if this is an old video used, or is it a new video made to look old. And who is the dancer?

[irotinmyskin]

im not crazy about the voice but the music is amazing

[Nes232]

don't you hear that strong accent whats not to love!

[MindControll]

n00b

[djsoulfilter]

I just pre-ordered their new album on vinyl.

Can't wait to hear the complete album.

[HomicidalPicnic]

The dancer looks like my grandmother did when she was young.

[HomicidalPicnic]

Not the naked part just the face part.

[t3hpwner3r]

I'd fuck your grandmother

[creamsponge89]

aw man i love twilight sad. theyre stuck up cunts though. my pal supported them at oran morr and wanted to glass the lead singer afterwards. lol. :] still but. awesome (L)

[cruiser277777]

ha, why exactly?

[piadox]

Lyrics can be found at songmeanings.

The chorus was the part I couldn't understand the slightest bit. Here it is:

"you are the bearer of a womb without love

you could of had it all

is that what you said

is that what you said on a low ride

you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today"

[killiescotland]

Im Scottish but even I struggle to work out his lyrics. Here is my best shot at them (sorry for the ???):

Theres a girl in the crowd and shes bawling her eyes out

Only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelid

Were all fine in the back of your mind

If we do me right we could be with you tonight

And if we bleed you dry

[killiescotland]

Were all right in the back of her mind

If we do me right we could be with you tonight

And if we bleed you dry

Taking half your time

Taking all your time

And if we bleed you dry

Bleed you dry

Were taking half your time

And if we bleed you dry

[HomicidalPicnic]

It's not "if you do me right" its "if we do what we like"

[killiescotland]

You are the ???

You could have had it all

Is that what you said

Is that what you said

You set down your arms ???

Are with me today

- - Repeat - -

[killiescotland]

Theres a hand in the till still believing what she sells

Only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelids

If we do you right we could be with you tonight

And if we bleed you dry

Taking half your time

Taking all your time

Brilliant Tune Again Guys!

[sunnygirly2k4]

Wow - although the slight feedback, distorted bass can take a while for my ears to accept, it fits the dark, sort of confessional, stirring song. It grows and grows on me. I think I'm a new fan of theirs!

[JayHa451]

I'm pretty stoked to experience this album.

[cruiser277777]

great video!

[autor98]

this is insane!!!

[jw112mail]

really good!

[Isactamente]

woww!

[carlmlane]

this probably wouldn't get taken down figuring that the record label put it up. Can't wait for the new album...

[duskluna13]

I hope this doesn't get taken down. Thank you for uploading! ^_^

[OriginalSHare]

Well, I got a warning from youtube for uploading the shorter version of this. Bloody idiots.

[autor98]

FUCK YOUTUBE

[piadox]

Oh my giiirrrrlllll in the town, with her fingers and eyelidsss... I love this song.

Nice to see that from now on there will be an interesting result for the keyword search "scottish prostitute" :P

[OriginalSHare]

Wooo!

[Pondus101]

Sounds great! can't wait...
