The Long Blondes - Once and Never Again

[adamfizz]

Great song - perfect lyrics to shout at your mates in some indie night in a northern town. Sums up my uni times nicely.

[melitajara]

[Anonybon]

Song is fun...

[Mavrakakis]

I think the whole album that this comes from is fun too! Well said xx

[jackthejuggalo]

I really, really, like the sounds, and the melodies, and the vocals, hell I love the vocals. But am I the only one that thinks the lyrics for like all of their songs were written by a 1950's bitter feminist?

[fenifipie]

@jackthejuggalo I think its funny that the lyrics are actually written by one of the guys!! I love it!

[arowman]

@schroeder666 <-- idiot at its finest. 

charm can make a "mediocre" band great. this band had a fuckload of charm.

franz is a good example of a charming mediocre band that is in fact, wonderful

[1889mod1]

[Mcgowan4]

[xxlucifersangel666xx]

[schroeder666]

mediocrity at its finest

go get drunk hipsters

[kman422]

oh well at least it's catchy.

Wait what?

[right1234wrong]

the mixture of the decades, the 90s sound, the retro indie style, kates voice... THERE IS NOTHING BETTER.

[Frankieireland]

really sad about the guitarist. shocking. great band.

[veritycoxi]

did he die then?

[MoodyTrudie]

loveee!

[Ohkit]

I kinda like The Long Blondes. Too bad they split up :(

[Drassdouche]

@Ohkit Why? Do you like whiny, melodramatic emo shit?

[Ohkit]

@Drassdouche Yes I do! Any problems ?? :))

[Drassdouche]

@Ohkit Your mum is a fat bitch.

[Theunbrok3n]

@Ohkit every good thing has to end eventually if u love music watch "BECK - MCS"

[MistressDomia]

@Ohkit they've split up ?

[simplymufasa]

Si c'est pas mortel ça!Emma je t'aime!

[lilika098]

Long Blondes split up when one member suffered a stroke.

[WastedBritain]

which one had a stroke??

[simplymufasa]

It's Dorian the male guitar player!

[luluYAMOM]

haha, the old ugly mtv2 sign in the corner kills it. adore this song and fulwood babylon, shame they broke up!

[sharkinjetsclothing]

what?? her voice is perfect on this song!

rip long blondes :(

check out drag your heels- chase you on youtube for a similar vibe

[Alala12CSS]

Long Blondes are amazing...as for that "drag your heels" song...not so much.

[Supershooter9]

finger wagging! She sounds like a Mum

[belicute]

nice fuckin song

[Phantomi]

this song makes me hyper! ^^

[brilliantfranz]

the only ugly thing about this vid is the MTV2 icon on the corner

[WastedBritain]

the lead singer is soooo fine id love to sex her, the bassist is pretty reem as well

[simplymufasa]

The lead singer says that she knows how it feels to be my age!I'm 19!

[simplymufasa]

It's hard to explain how much I adore this song!

[simplymufasa]

The lead singer has amazing eyes!She's the woman i belong to!

[WastedBritain]

the bassist looks pretty fine too

[simplymufasa]

Yeah in fact i said that but I prefer the bass player!She's so cute in the video "giddy stratospheres"!

[ajanithegreat]

my mom loves this song. She sings it to me all the time lol

[almanacofsleep]

err thats freaky

[returnofbhavar99]

hahah how come its freaky?

[almanacofsleep]

Well I'm not a girl, but if my mum sang to me "i love to feel a girl your age it would be many kinds of freaky.

[mAiiUmII]

(8)you don't need a boyfriend(8)

that's so right!

[JayConstance]

such an amazing but unpopular band... :(

[ErnestMenville]

So true...They 're just lovely and fucking amazing too

[returnofbhavar99]

i know they are soo great i dunno why alot pf ppl hate them or really dont like em'

[AimeeAmore]

My sister was annoyed when these split up

[simplymufasa]

Mais quoi c'est vrai Katty Besnard est quand même beaucoup plus jolie que tous les membres de ce groupe réuni:excusez moi!

[cheetahenllamas]

Tú no necesitas un novio :D

[XxPuPP3TxX]

woo!

[beutelkompost]

I guess it's meant sarcastic

[emmers1990]

NOOOO! the long blondes have called it a day! :'(

that's two of my favorite bads gone this year, the pipettes split earlier in the year.

[funkymedusa]

the long blondes split as their guitarist had a bad stroke and he may never fully recover and they dont want to continue without him!

[simplymufasa]

Les plastiscines sont plus belles qu'elles!Vive la France!

[manneianevski]

Oui mais leur musique est nettement moins bonne.

[simplymufasa]

Tu trouves?C'est vrai que les Long Blondes déchirent mais tu sais les Plastiscines ont fait beaucoup de progrès depuis LP1 et je crois que leur deuxième album va déchirer!Vive les Plastiscines:les princesses du rock français!

[manneianevski]

Beh disons que le seul défaut des plastiscines est qu'au niveau de leur compos, c'est vachement pompé sur The Kinks... y'a rien d'original. Regarde sur youtube la chanson "All day and all of the night" de the Kinks, et ensuite écoute "Mister Driver" des Plastiscines. C'est un pur plagiat... Apres bon elles sont pas mauvaises non plus, mais Long Blondes ont au moins des compos + aboutis et moins pompés sur les autres :)

[simplymufasa]

J'étais au courant pour cette chanson mais ça ne veut pas dire que toutes leurs chansons sont plagiés non plus!

[cricrijobim]

so bad

[shortnbitter]

hella good song

[jammybella]

SHELLEY!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D

[Bauhotte]

just great!

[DrinkMyEyes]

her voice is really good.

[danil08]

GOOD LUCK TO THE DRUMMER (he's terminally illi)

[ChristinaElle]

Its Dorian the Keyboardist/ Guitarist who's really ill. Hope he gets better soon.

[tarfun5959]

[avesinsombra]

[GandPshow]

[Dziut16]

[jstow01]

It's a decent song, but the lyrics are so fucking cliche.

[estrella516]

ZzZzSsSuPeRrRr!!! ThE LoNg bLoNdEsSSs

[darkanciel]

[mayfirst1984]

[gloomyoutlook]

Comforting :]

[88surfer88]

[lexis59]

I love this song <3

[monkeypoo1]

Yet you still did...

[cypruschick]

I have been looking for this everywhere but not knowing the title it was hard! Thanks so much for posting :0)

[GenYuden1]

Wooh, off to see them tonight. Secret Gig ftw.

[avesinsombra]

[ezyesta]

[nxxxb]

EXCELLENT song, though the video is crap.

[LittleLivvay]

I am seeing these cool people in April =]

[casper0]

someone said blonde !?

[iommmmi]

man....by far one of the coolest/sexy lead singers in the brit scene nowadays

[dragster58]

We need to get RID of all the pseudo music out there with a swipe of Long Blondes!!!!

[emmers1990]

yay, second album out soon! woop!

[uksclavain]

Posr feminist bollocks...nah ok :)

[amandan4e]

amazing voice

[thescallywags]

Quality. Love this song.

[2recievers]

that is true i get laughed at evertime i put this on everyone laughs at me even the guy who owns the i pod doesnt know where it came from... i love them still

[LeonXCreatedXDisco]

YThey were good. But they definitely didnt live up to the hype. Where are they?

I dont know anyone whos actually heard of them apart from me. There still brilliant though. :P

[jackmasterflash]

What hype? The NME hype? I didnt hear much hype for them and id call a great debut album more than enough.

[girlsrus123]

this is great

[starvingarchitect]

One of the best albuns of it's year!!!

[indielover77]

Awesome song & album *****

they lived up to the hype. can't wait for there second album.....

[anthonysprott]

love this, its so great.

[helenwooooo]

''Come back with me, and find out what you really want,

Come home with me you'll only have to do it once'' what dose that mean?

[naomip12]

I know what I imagine it means, but that might just be my mind...

[DehydratedManatee]

I am convinced that this song is about a predatory lesbian. Just listen to the lyrics.

[tiw3]

i don't think it's about that really.....kate didn't write this lyrics... the bass player did... so it's all from a boy's point of view... that's what they told the RS

[schulheft]

nul,alta,the (male^^) guitarist writes most of the lyrics

[tiw3]

ohhh opppsss yesss, u r right .... sometimes i get confused with the bass and the guitar thing u know... 4 me it's the same thing lol

[gorramdoll]

even if a guy wrote it that doesn't mean it's from a guy's point of view. It seems obvious it's narrated by a girl.

[technowelt]

@DehydratedManatee - Haha, that's pretty funny. That was the first thing I thought of when I listened to this song too!

[zoubinar]

J'adore!

[piewyfe]

Gosh.

I. LOVE. THIS. BAND.

And those beginning five chords account for some of my behaviour in clubs I tell you.

[timmy1991991]

Timmah

[iamdadyslittlegirl]

i love!!RoCk!!

[gigglingella]

If anyone is intrestested they have a album out and I just can't stop listening to it. Some of the tracks are slow/boring at the begining like "Heaven help the new girl" and the 1st track sound horrible at first because it is just screeching noises but give them a chace for the next minute or so and if you don't like them fine. But if you just keep lstening to them, I guarantee tha you will be dancing along in no time very soon. I know I do.

[bicyclerush]

i got the album when it came out. andit's the best i've heard ever, well the long blondes and the pipettes.

all the songs on 'someone to drive you home' are fantastic

[pipettesbfetch]

i totally agree! the long blondes' album is one of my favourites EVER!

[bicyclerush]

I know they're both legendary groups, the Maccabees are good too, oh and Robots In Disguise.

[digiwitch555]

I love the long blondes and the pipettes too!

[eck2x]

i can relate to the song, im 19, no significant other and always at the crossroads....

[piewyfe]

Likewise!

[foolxthexworld]

LOL. inuendo. not quite sure how to spell it, but you know what i mean [:

xx

[LyrcaVirgin]

glad you saw it. I was so proud of that one.

[rajivk91]

wait, more the line "oh id love to feel a girl your age"

[bicyclerush]

and 'i can show you the ropes'

[xTimbombx]

What a song! Already a classic for me!Dance,dance,dance...just dance to it!

[flipsemogirl]

19 your only 19 you don't need a boyfriend :] soo catchy i love that part of the song :]] you know im not so young i spend a hour getting ready everyday but i don't look more or less the same :]] that part too :]]

[LyrcaVirgin]

yep. Sorry, jsut been straring at that comment for 2 days now. needs a reply.

[flipsemogirl]

haha okay?

[pepperandbobby]

i love it ^.^

[mariagnr]

i love this band!

[fadsandfancies]

If the terrible phrase 'girl power' has any actual meaning then this is probably it. Respect.

[aboyle7]

THIS SONG! amazing <3 19 your only 19 for god sake you dot need a boyfriend!!

[j0rdan4414]

trop class !!!!

[natalie184]

I love this soonnng <3

Must seek out more long blondes songs now

=]

[psplaceholder]

They have their new album up on iTunes.

[RavingMoron]

Ha last fm recomended this band and I've already heard most of they're songs before and have always wondered who sings them.

woop awsome

[bakamusume]

Moi j'aime beaucoup!^^

[scotchqueen]

Goddess.

[Kirstie145]

I loves this band, their music is Brilliant.

[thekaterowland2]

they're so cool, it HURTS :)

[HPwoman]

if emma watson rupert grint and daniel radcliffe like this band, then so do i!!! lol

[Framany]

I think it's about a girl, who has an older boyfriend, who doesn't really care for the relationship and who forces her to have sex with him "once and never again".

Then the girl cuts herself while her mother tells her, that she's too young to have a boyfriend anyway.

[macabrexdoll]

Wow, that's off.

[rolawrlz]

it's about the girls MOM. telling her that all her dramas in life are just stupid high school dramas (eg BOYFRIEND, and cutting yourself over stupid shit like that) and she'll get over it ... cuz everyone goes through the same shit, just like her ("i know how it feels to be your age")

[massivearmpit]

It's a nineteen year old girl who feels derpressed because her boyfriend won;t spend time with her. You're all stupid.

[sammm123football]

its about cutting yourself (y)

[veraszakatsch]

doesn't the guy who wrote this song actually want to be a girl? or like ... no boy anymore? maybe it's about that?

ace song though

[doctorwhoiscool]

I have absolutely no clue what this song is about, but a guy wrote it.

[missengstudent06]

Love this song but the video is really shite.

[drtesina]

fantastic song, can't stop listening to it!

[angron1980]

Some of my friends think it's about suicide, whereas I think it's actually about a predatory lesbian trying to seduce a younger friend.

[unsociableperson]

Would that possibly because Joe Wiley (radio1) said the song was about a predatory lesbian?

[angron1980]

I make a point of not listening to that woman. No I arrived at the conclusion myself, partially because one of my friends is a 'predatory lesbian'. Also I'll add that I think the object of her lust might even be her step-daughter!

[gorramdoll]

I can see why you would think that, because she has such a motherly attitude. I don't really think so though. I don't think the character in the song is really an evil person, just letting her attraction to the girl overwhelm her common sense and genuine desire to help.

[LyrcaVirgin]

"I know what its like to feel your age"

wow, double meaning

Step-daughter, though? How?

[angron1980]

Mere perverted speculation on my part I'm afraid...
