this version of this song just gave me goosebumps. he sounds like he is literally going to cry any second, like he is fighting back the tears. this song is verbalising my heart at the moment. there is no better song to describe how i feel. :(
@activate124 you stated that a singer couldn't sing, and then told someone to commit suicide. a blatant lemming such as yourself who seems to care more for following sheepish internet 'memes' than understanding anything shouldn't be calling anyone "pretentious hipster." let alone suicide. now don't go nailing your dick to the keyboard, though it might stop/distract you from the pain that will be inflicted if you keep running blind through life... i hope you enjoy the song, you smarmy jackass.
Beautiful. I remember once seeing a couple at the Glastonbury festival. They were on the ground cycling their legs in the air to this. Was very touching. Cannot remember the year, but it was the first time i ever saw spiritulized.
great song from a great band! pls check out our video, we are still trying to get that shoegaze/ambient feel.. just type, jam experiment video file 1 (or video file 2).. leave a comment, thanks!
Absolutely heart-breaking song. There's so much passion. I can identify with it all which makes it all the harder to listen to. When you're feeling down this track is something you can just really connect to. :(
Nietzche, or some other philosophizing geezer, once said that all artforms aspire to the conditon of music.
When you watch and listen to this, or other Spiritualized songs, you can understand what he meant.
I don't understand why comments about nationality are posted in response to this piece of music. Surely music is a transcendental force, and that includes transcending the melee associated with debate and argument about nationalism.
sonic boom is all well and good..but stuck very much to the sp3 template, spirtiualized move on. they're both great in their own way....but this song really tugs at the ole heart strings
Nationalism has its rare benefits, but this is not "british" music. Yes Jason is a great artist but he doesnt choose people based on nationality. Sorry to spoil your fun but music is a human thing not inclusive on races, nations, or religion. Sigh/why are people always prone to create a superior entity.
best band ever especially live. check my band out, we aren't that similar to spiritualized but he's a massive influence on me personally. (myspace com theeoutlaws) thanks xx joey
Yup, these songs get you through drug addiction and irrational behavior. But after recovery there is no possible return to enjoyment of depressing music. There is a far amount of beauty in this song from 3.00 out. Choir/harp in exc. comb. Otherwise too dark.
one of the best songs of all time in my opinion. This song has got me through my worst times in life since i was 14! still does now. What a fantastic, underated band.
This song is magic, and amazing live... When they played in Boston this song really hit people, but then "Anything More" came later and people who hadn't heard that album yet were simply dumbfounded with how amazing that song was as well - so check it out also.
Uau. It´s much beauty to only one soul.
