its funny. Im not one to pay attention to lyrics. Usually i just focus on the melody, but something is so sad about this tune that i couldnt help focus on it.
I overcame a ridiculous number of obstacles to see Bloc Party in concert SOLELY to hear them perform either version of this song....and they didn't. :(
This isn't a patch on the original...the tinkly piano at the start is far too..I dunno like too "happy". Signs on the album is just stunning, by far the best song on the album.
This reminds me of one of my best friends who died...it's a rare song that makes you feel like crying, but also feel better at the same time. I play this on repeat whenever I miss him <3
@MicoMonstrosity It's absolutely incredible, isn't it? Out of all the songs on Intimacy, this one impressed me the most. And the acoustic version is even better. This should've been on the album instead of the version they had...
It's beautiful that the acoustic and the album version are such parallel opposites. The original was so spine-chilling and otherworldly, almost heavenly. This one has the perfect tone of raw emotion and down-to-earth acoustics. Quite literally two sides of the same song. Why can't they release this on iTunes?
this song is about an ex girlfriend who either commited suicide or died from an illness...
personally, I think it's illness. because if it really was suicidal then when he brings in all the religious stuff suggesting about seeing her again in the after life....
because that's a religious belief and if you commit suicide you don't go to heaven. so it doesn't fit.
it sounds to me like she was just terminally ill and she never told him and now he's in pain and denial missing her.
@Aro2220 That's actually something highly debated in religious debates. A lot of people don't think that, especially if they've lost someone to suicide.
@Aro2220 I'm thinking more like a childhood friend, perhaps, because Kele has all but explicitly come out as gay, so I'm thinking it was written about a really close friend of his who died, kind of like Biko was, though that could have been a lover as well. Either way, it's an incredible song, and the acoustic version is so intimate... You can really hear the vulnerability in Kele's voice.
I love this song. Do you think the meaning is about saying what you need to say at the moment you feel it because someone he loved obviously died before he could express himself to them.
