The xx - Basic Space

[jizzvolcano]

Romy = Beautiful ♥

[blahmonmonmon]

what's the thing he's tapping on for the beat? not the synth, but the other thing.

[janeadams94]

@blahmonmonmon its an MPC

[tb1080]

@blahmonmonmon Just a drum pad. Not sure which brand. There's many out there. Velocity sensitive with custom sound banks.

[MojoSmelz]

In 2010 the xx won mercury prize. runners up were foals. both are amazing. The xx just topped 'em though :)

[JusticeforBaria]

this is the REAL XX with BARIA...

[brittneylundberg]

[freeskier31]

Jamie XX = so good

[xNoNameBoYx]

[triickpixie]

-For how good it is I mean haha

[triickpixie]

This song is way too short.

[LeosBlog]

Rap fans check out Notorious xx. it is amazing!

[F1997R]

the guitar from 2:52 to the end is so great

[Burdjur]

@F1997R Agreed, for me, that part is what makes the song so great.

[iTzGiNz]

OMG What with them. The song gets good at the end and then goes for like 10 seconds and stops

[Tarzipan58]

@codmad11 Ur thinking of Damon Albarn

[alexyayvinn]

amazingly soothing song.

[9a9BFKHSL8]

Love them <3

[jamcop108]

WOTO

[xXCryztalMuseXx]

[xXCryztalMuseXx]

[TaYshan87]

Fellow XX fans!! I got the chance to see these guys live just as they were starting out and was massively influenced, so much so that I wanted to work with them. Check out my version of the XX's Intro and let me know what you think!! Happy new year!!

[myheartlikeabird]

don't think i've ever loved a band quite this much, there isn't one song that i don't instantly fall in love with.

[priturionlive]

Just ran across this band today... Effin awesome! Love the innovative sound! :D

[MohaHannachi]

Like if You think that starting from 2:51 the song should be endless!!

[megalostafili1]

1:29 This pool of boiling wax.

To listen it many times !

[Carlos1071]

@megalostafili1 It melts me everytime.

[josmdg]

Does anybody knows if 5,138,587 views mean different people or strictly they're counting every time I see this?

[Hunter777g]

yayy i bet if they double the time on this song the views will double as well :D

[bjskifreak]

it's quite unfortunate that they're so ugly

[SelenaMoonGirl]

@bjskifreak It's quite unfortunate that you're so stupid.

[terminister]

@SelenaMoonGirl It's quite unfortunate that you'll die.

[TheIAmNothinglol]

@bjskifreak ppl like you make society as shallow as it is right now.

[MrCarbonkid]

this song is so peaceful love it

[Hunter777g]

i got one question "how do people get top comments".... o.O

[erbrochenes]

@Hunter777g many thumps up ;)

[frankmcd94]

this song goes great before "House of Cards" by Radiohead

[madisonwintrrs]

@frankmcd94 the video is a bit similar too!

[marurivanessa]

:3

[tonyfalca]

awwww fuck... this is awesome!!! im so lucky for the supposed randomness of my selection

[Ozepyon09]

The comments section kneads moar copypasta

[Spawn5000]

SHE HAS A SEVERE LISP I THINK

[eyrewalk]

A nod to Radiohead with the line: "Where I end and you begin" I think.

[Amadossa]

ok now I'am ready to sleep

[LionsToTheChristians]

The intro reminds me of "kid A" by Radiohead.

[doteehee]

i want to f*ck oliver sim's voice

[madisonwintrrs]

@doteehee i really just want to fuck oliver sim

[lorenalee09]

@doteehee ya we all do

[kungfoolai]

[19Jones91]

@kungfoolai I'm a straight male and I would fuck his voice dry, what now??!!!?

[kungfoolai]

@19Jones91 Ell if you wanna fuck his voice that doesn't make you a straight male...you're probably just abit camp tbh mate :P

[CarusoV3i]

[TheSmellycat1]

The beginning of this song sounds like Animal Crossing! I wanna play it now......

[Faithersonethree]

Let us not mention any other pitied song artists; Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black, etc. Let's enjoy this beautiful song, from an amazingly fantastic band.

[LickMeBiscuiT]

Its Sonja from Eastenders! haha

[dam80n]

the end of the song should sound ten minutes more

[JesseBarclay1]

@dam80n fwk yeah

[radsickdope]

I like oliver sim x 400

[TheLizzybeth1]

i jus noticed she has a lisp

[FalloutConspiracy]

I've been here since 20,000 views. Now it's over five million! (^_^)

[kanohi007299]

Rebecca Black should listen to this, she should be ashamed

[GirMittens]

@kanohi007299 as if she doesn't already have immensely low self-esteem from all the criticism she's had.

[Orionspencer]

Basic space, open air

Don't look away, when there's nothing there

[AlosMad1111]

Deberían buscar y escuchar un poco de la banda llamada Séssil, para comenzar busquen Airy Lights, siguen con una buena relajación para después seguir con beats electrónicos.

[JGeotic]

I think these guys are now officially my new favorite band...

They have a nice sound.

[rayschalch]

[CandyBlueBre]

I love them, But I really really hate the way her lips move... Like she has a speech impediment or a lazy lisp or something. It annnnoyyysss me sooo much!

But I LOVE THEM so I can't look away.

[dave6375]

[Skymonkey87]

[Skymonkey87]

[koji9495]

[andrewcurtis17]

When he says "Let's pour the boiling wax" at 1:28 the hair on my neck stands up. It just rolls off his tongue. Wow that sounded really gay after reading this. lol

[epicmeeltime]

Is it wierd that I stopped to listen to this song half way while I was in bed with my gf? :/

[logaritmusnaturalis]

I hope my neighboors like this song

[eNeNa1numberone1]

I'm sorry for commenting about something other than the music, but his lips are fucking mesmerizing

[KibbletNBitty]

@eNeNa1numberone1 :P I know how you feel. Lol

[xwavestr]

With all other music, I need to be doing something while I listen to it (Facebook, ect).

With The xx, all I need to do is sit back and relax, and let the melody take over my soul and mind, and relax.

[UnemployedZebra]

@xwavestr exactly how i feel

[lucyrobsonok]

This is the sex.

[thezongo]

hipstah

[Todoslosfritos]

That awkward moment where you realise you're the only person who hasn't had sex to this song.

[UnemployedZebra]

@Todoslosfritos eeeeeeeh not the only one hhaha

[KBML12]

Chillest music

[boogersmash07]

the last 20 seconds are pure heaven. Whoever came up with that rif must be the son of jesus

[MegaErodriguez]

@boogersmash07

[2010rollwithit]

@boogersmash07 I completely agree. I love the major seventh scale.

[Protzer39]

@boogersmash07 I love it.

[blacked3mirror]

@boogersmash07 LOSER

[SilverFoxRavenor]

@blacked3mirror creativity - you´re doing it wrong

[wazzu17]

@boogersmash07 if anyone can take that last bit...and somehow loop it into a long video. that'd be greatly enjoyed i'm sure by a lot of people even simply an instrumental version would be very cool.

[0dical]

Keep it up, good vibes and great vocals and awesome lyrics!! Make the songs LONGER!!!! :P

[lazyheights]

weed + xx = nirvana

[TheAbbanddonn]
