The Format - Snails (Ep Version with Lyrics!)

[SamiHency]

This has literally been on repeat for two hours. I named my tumblr after it. I have problems...

[PI3RR3presents]

the Format inspired my sound. check it out :)

ps: miss you Sam! Nate call him and quit messing around with FUN. and get back to the Format!

[DutchTallJacker]

Great song. Format is amazing. SOPA is a menace to a free internet, by the way.

[tib0ulay]

This song makes me want to wear a dress and lay down in a field during summer, with my head in the clouds. But it would be very unconfortable.

[merrsshee]

@tib0ulay And why is that? Grass is comfy!

[tib0ulay]

@merrsshee In summer it's completely dry and... yellow.

[merrsshee]

@tib0ulay Not in Colorado!

[tylo38]

i like the ep version better than the album's.

[Razz000]

your all very pretty

[Razz000]

the other day walking back from my mates house just sat down and watched a snail doing its thing at like 4am very strange creature i think they have a lot of time to realize what they are doing so they try not to make mistakes.

[IchiKuros]

<3

[paugyg]

I LOVE The Format! Isn't the first line of the song "Nico, take it slow"? Just wondering....

[mistajiggyfly23]

@paugyg yezzir

[NanaTendsToFly]

I enjoy this song with my face

[kaitywrieden]

this song is like my theme song. I like how he says "why are you quick to kiss?" - what a nice way to call someone a skank.



[FreddieDawgFan]

Wayyyyyy better on the EP. Thanks for posting this version!

[puppydogface45]

I like the meaning to this song verry tru <3 we should take time to look at the view around us and smile

[kathrynabc123]

I am in love with this song. I can't sop listening to it<3

[sunsetsunflower]

does anyone one know the chords for this?



[lavaonfire]

lets just all be snails :)

[Denisseinchainsrocks]

Snails ♥

[Learica]

I love snails.

[cbear0890]

No matter which song you listen to the format is still amazing!!!! Alll of their songs put me in a good mood!

[cbear0890]

With me, no matter which song you heard first, the Format is still amazing! :)

[messidinho96]

lyrics are a bit off but great song

[BIGD2009ification]

this song still gives me goosebumps when i hear it. and i love having it as my alarm. cuz it puts me in a good mood. so every mornig i wake up happy. :)

[weedy4u]

Where can I get this version? :(

[OhWowNiceShirt]

@weedy4u Just look for their EP album or just google "The Format Ep album"

[nobull89]

I think which version you like largely depends on which one you heard first. I like the other one

[fractonis]

@nobull89 I heard "the other one" first but like this one better. I think it really just comes down to personal preference rather than which was heard first.

[azimuth457]

I love playing this song on guitar... so many memories.

[Dmband27]

Leave it to The Format to have the only thread on YouTube that isn't filled with hate :D

[RobbieB76]

The first line of the lyrics in "more info" is wrong. It should be "Nico take it slow"

[ZombieBoyGrubbs]

@RobbieB76 This guy is using the Album versions lyrics thats why its all wrong

[Kordik]

This song calms me down no matter where I am or what I'm doing. The Format has been there with me through it all... I love them!

[ZombieBoyGrubbs]

I cant start my day without this song!

[ownworstenimy]

THE REAL VERSION! their other version sucks ass!

[xRetzi]

His voice.. just amazing.

[Sirromnad]

You realize the first lyric is wrong. just saying.

[NNYownz]

@Sirromnad

i think he just copypasta the lyrics from the album version

[PigsWontQuit]

this might actually be my favorite format song

it's hard to choose but I loved this song so much

i drew a snail on my white board

and wrote

"snails see the benefit

the beauty in ever inch..." <3

[ownworstenimy]

@PigsWontQuit FailBloG

[jessilovesdillon]

this song is seriously Amazing!!

[wHoDaWaDa1]

if i was a snail, this is what i would listen to :)

[kodyqc]

@wHoDaWaDa1 agreed

[hildesseus38]

this version is super better. i love wat they did with his voice, its echoey

[deepblueseax]

i've been looking for this version! it is also my favorite

[alienzandzombiez]

i dont know what your talking about

I like the dog problems one way better

[OmgTheGypsy]

as no lyrics?????????!!!!!!!!

[rockin0robin]

@OmgTheGypsy They're in the info underneath, not on the video.

[BicyclesAndTrees]

I wanna be a snail now. :]

[steenblikrs]

I dont know why they ever rerecorded this track. I can't believe it is so hard to come by.

[skyblueff0]

@ DoctorGoulet, loliwear, and 4thearth

Haha, thanks for recommending me to "Fun" and "last.fm"

Truth is I knew about them for a while, I just never got into "last.fm" until recently. As for "Fun.", I knew of them for sometime as well, I just still prefer the Format over "Fun." I can't quite explain it, though. Well I could, I just might get scolded.

Even so, I'm actually going to see "Fun." play in Philly on Oct. 2 @ the World Live Cafe. Anyone going to that show?

[azimuth457]

@skyblueff0 I agree. Fun. and The Format are completely different bands. Liking one over the other shouldn't be a problem. Besides..no one can replace Sam Means..

[the1andonlyNICO]

my name is nico...

[NTKdirtNTK]

i saw them live in chicago after dog problems came out and they sounded just like they did on the cd, good shit

[Nimzzies]

The first line in the EP version is "Nico take it slow," the Album release is "come back home..." Just sayin'... =)

[JackPiff]

listen to fun is nate from the format and some other guys

[skyblueff0]

Ahh. Man this band is a class gem. I'm glad I rediscovered them again while looking through my music archive folder. I'm happy.

I'm sad the band broke-up (if i recalled correctly) though. Is there any other musicians that sound familiar to these guys?

[4thearth]

@skyblueff0 This is why I love Last.fm, it can tell you who else this band sounds like

[DoctorGoulet]

@skyblueff0 Nate's new band! Check them out. They're called "fun."

[Ropawli]

Love this song ♥

thanks for posting

take a look at the lycris:

''Nico take it slow'' is the first sentence of the song ;)

[withthislake]

one of my favourites for life.

[Spunky387]

this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the dog problems version. i don't know why they didn't keep it like this.

[azimuth457]

@Spunky387 Agreed..upon buying Dog Problems..I was like "oh what the hell is this?".

It grew on me, though I still prefer this.

[Spunky387]

@azimuth457 haha yeah. it's not that the dog problems version sounds bad, it's just this one isn't all sell-outy and sounds pure. if that makes sense. plus i've been listening to this version for forever.

[azimuth457]

@Spunky387 Yeah I heard this song at least a year before the album came out so I much prefer it this way.

[Dmband27]

@Spunky387 If that version comes up on shuffle, I'll pause it and switch to this version :)

[professorJacqui]

New favorite song c:

[itsallibby]

@professorJacqui me too i heard it a while ago and then found it again and i love it

[manaloco1]

One of the sweeties songs ever!!!

[feverdream]

THANK YOU! The EP version is never anywhere and I definitely agree that it's better than the Dog Problems version.

[el3m3ntsk8s]

I just like the pedal steel in this version. But when the drums come in on the "My family's not rich by any means" part on the Dog Problems version. I get goosebumps! I'm thinking of posting it, it's no where on youtube...

[singingmachine2010]

hehe this songs lyrics describe my life!

snails see the benifits... they do!

[lightityo2]

i lovelovelove this songg!
