    WOW, beautiful.

  • music

  • magic

  • This song is so beautiful and sad all at the same time

  • love it.

  • woooooooow - this is such a rip-off from NIN 21 Ghosts III - check that tune out.

  • so sweet, i love it

  • i love this song

  • OMG, this is awesome song! I love it!

  • I fucking love this song, the music is so beautiful and the lyrics so melancholic is just perfect

  • good song and i love this part in gossigirl<3

  • I've never seen Gossip Girl but either way, it doesn't matter how people are talking about Bloc Party, as long as they are. I've been listening to Bloc Party for three years now and I think that it's great that they got their music played in a TV show. It is a beautiful song and these are wonderful lyrics. And the new instruments that they are putting to use so harmoniously are also amazing.

  • I love this song.

    The part from gossip girl with Chuck ad Blair is topped with this song.

  • I agree....that part is perfect and really sweet....this song is awesome

  • god this is such a good album. this song in particular I love; the glockenspiels make it sound more beautiful than sad, and then when you actually start to listen to the lyrics it's an incredibly melancholic song. just beautiful.

  • Stop uTubing there music and BUY IT!

  • calm down man

  • Intimacy has some really sad songs about cancer and death. Someone close to Kelle died or something like that, right? :S

  • love this song<3

  • gorgeous song

    the last time i relle focused on keles lyrics for a song was this modern love

    which by the way is ingenious

    coherent and incisive

  • this is so beautiful

  • yeah i agree, this songs beautiful (:

  • this is cute & i love the instruments && the lyrics, but his voice i s just a bit too harsh for this song =\

  • i have to disagree with you..

    i think it fits perfectly =]

  • wow we need more songs like this in the world!

    AMAZING.

  • this song is amazing.

  • This song has touched my soul.

    :'(

  • I love this song so much. It's so beautiful but sad...

  • i guess this is a goodbye

  • aww from gossip girl

  • it was on gossip girl?

  • YUP

    :)

  • last episode

  • yea, 2x13

  • yes! durring blair's moms wedding (:

  • amazing song!

  • best song on the album!

  • i think that it is great for bloc party to get more publicity, and where the 'true' and 'avid' fans misunderstand eachother is that the 'true' fans love bloc party the way they are and, in becoming famous many bands go shitty and mainstream, which is obviously not something that they want.

    as long as the dont get shitty i dont mind. the more bandwaggoners the merrier. even you 'true' fans had to start somewhere.

  • I just heard these guys today on Austin City Limits...man they were awsome. Honestly though...I would have never heard of them otherwise.

  • Anyone here a true Bloc Party fan from the very first album?! There are so many fake 'avid fans' out there who don't have a clue about anything...

  • I come from The Brighton Area ( a City in south England) Where Kele comes from yea. So they have been playing around here for years. Silent Alarm was their best album in my opinion. But i like their new stuff for sure.

  • I agree silent alarm was much better, also it had more variety in it this album kinda sounds all the same .. a little boring.

  • At first I wasnt really sure what to make of the new album but since Listening it repeatly it certainly grows on you. And a few of their new songs are now some of Fav's soo for that i feel Intimacy is good album by Bloc Party in my opinion. What do you reckon about the song Trojan horse?

  • yah Trojan horse was an awesome song lol'

  • Intresting u say that bcus i hate the song 4 some reason but all mates love it :S feel soo left out lol Helicoptor/ SO here we are are my fav Bloc songs how about u ?

  • Helicopter, Flux and This Modern Love and all my favourite all time songs by them x: lol

  • honestly, who cares. you know what? i'm glad that people found out about them through gossip girl. i'm glad more people can hear their great music. who cares what the source was? bloc party is amazing and the more who know the better.

  • Thank you!

  • I don't understans why all ya'll are getting mad because more people are finding this band. 'band wagoners'?? honestly ur just mad cuz' now it's going to make u feel less original because now theyre becoming famous and u think a bunch of girl fans are finding it. Who honestly cares?? Don't u think u can get originality through yourself?

  • i heard it on gossipgirl and that was a great way for them to get more publicity. i hadn't heard of them before and it's a relief to hear something different. beautiful song!

  • Yea we get it, most of you heard it on Gossip girl!

  • I hate that. On the one hand that's great that Bloc Party is being recognized, on the other it's quite infuriating to have all these band wagoners all of a sudden. I know I'm selfish for thinking that way but whatever.

  • Yea, i hate how these gossip girl fans think they "found" bloc party when in fact they have been around 4 ages. Now lets not talk about "GG" and lets focus on whats worth talkin about Bloc party !!!

  • Haha, yeah it kills me! Same thing happened with a lot of my favourite bands on the OC. But whatever, I just bought tickets today to see BP in Toronto! So stoked!

  • i get that your a fan that's heard of them firsthand and your the "loyal" fan, but these bands like getting recognized and they chose to do that by signing on with GG (a show that alot of people watch) and because the song is great of course it's going to get even more recognition! i don't hear the band complaining that people are hearing their songs....so you shouldn't take it so personnaly when people say they've heard it from gg or wherever.

  • Sorry maybe im taking it personally bcus my sister like u is "GG" fan. She goes round acting as if she found the band when really she knows nothing about them! Its gd that they are getting recognised mayb u shud see them live which is amazing! Ah well atleast i cant say i have never heard of Gossip Girl lol

  • no probz! now i won't go into to detail of why you shouldn't comment on a person's likes or dislikes...lol

  • lol, heard on gossip girl and is lovin it

  • me too

  • Really good song!

  • I first hears the song on Gossip Girl

    I love it :X:X

  • Brilliant track !

  • and the lyrics omg there so sad

    i love them

    i see sighns all the time that your not dead your sleeping

    wow

    its so sad

    like it inspires me

    lol like no i cant even explain how amazing it is nd how this song makes me feel

  • this song is so sad

    ive honestly listed to it about 30 times a day for 2 days straight nd i cant get sick of it

    its so addicting, its so sad evryime i listen to it

    i honestly cry

    nd in gossip girl, omg it was the saddest thing

    this song is amazing, i think best ive ever herd

    i dont think ill ever get sick of it <3 love it

  • great song. period.

  • omg this song is soo good. & it fit perfectly in the scene in gg

  • i love the opening 'bells'.

  • This song is sooo good especially in gossip girl on monday

  • wow bloc party sounds different

  • I LOVE this song!!! I liked BP before and my friend just asked me if I knew who they were because she just heard this new song by them, and I was like...yeah, they're kind of awesome. So, I had to listen to it and it's definitely AMAZING!!! Great job guys!

  • This is such a beautifully written song. I cry every time I listen to it.

  • yeah, it's slower. there are no 'bells' in GG's one.

  • By the way do you have any idea where i can get it, on itunes or something like that... What is the exact name of this version?

  • i thought this song was called signs?

  • it is

  • that's the acoustic version

  • I was just wondering... is it the same song in the album and in GG's episode 13; it seems to be 2 differents version. GG's song appears to be slower to me

  • Wow...the lyrics of this song are soo sad

    Beautiful song.

  • i cried too, im in love with this song now. i love chuck and blair <3

  • I love this song so much

    I cried during this scene

  • it's not supposed to be upbeat it's about a friend who died. please forgive them for not being excited and happy about that. there are more than one kind of music

  • whoa, whoa

    gossip girl is gossip girl and bloc party is bloc party.

    gossip girl is nooot a stupid show, and if you don't like it then you obviously haven't watched it. prejudice is ignorance, so don't speak.

    bloc party has been on many other shows too, like paris hilton's bff and in my opinion that show is much more dumb than gossip girl, but i still love it.

    and it's good for the band if more people hear about it and find out about it from gossip girl. more buys on itunes. duh.

  • i don't get this obsession people have with taking credit for "discovering" a band or knowing about a band first. obviously you didn't hear the band first since they're already signed so...

    stop trying to make it seem as if you're entitled to listen to the band but other people can't

  • I can't believe people are arguing about fans of Gossip Girl liking this ONE SONG. BIG DEAL! It's pretty obvious that the creators of GG have good taste in both music and fashion. They even put in Muse's "Time is Running Out" the string tribute in one of the episodes. So what? These are good songs. And even if GG isn't a "smart" show its obviously a pretty good one.

  • I'm a GG fan and you guys are idiots for thinking that this band is gonna get played out cause of GG. I've known them before Gossip Girl even started, stop calling people dumb for not knowing this band =)

  • My sister had the cheek in saying she "discovered" bloc party lol because she heard them in on some poor TV show she watches, Gossip girl. great song, great band back to there best!

  • it sucks that all the Gossip Girl fans are gonna know about this song know but at the same time I'm glad Bloc Party is getting more recognition, they're an awesome band that deserves to be known!

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • askysoblue wrote: "it sucks that all the Gossip Girl fans are gonna know about this song" I don't get this. If you're a fan, wouldn't you prefer that more people be exposed to Bloc Party's music than less? Isn't it a positive thing that diverse groups of people are enjoying Bloc Party?

  • I agree.. I don't enjoy being called as "dumb" by someone I don't even know only because I liked a song that I've heard from a TV show

  • if you read the rest of my comment, that's what I was trying to say.

    I love gossip girl and all I meant by my comment is that i'm selfish and sometimes like when songs aren't mainstream bc it makes them feel special but ultimately i'd rather that the band get the recognition and fame they deserve.

    understand?

  • If I misunderstood you, I apologize.

  • I agree with whoever said about GG fans knowing about Bloc Party now.

    I'm both a BP and GG fan, but I didn't find them from the show.

    But I recognized the voice right off, and I forgot how much I like them.

    It went beautifully with the scene. (:

  • This so has magic to it. Somehow, I can't stop listening to it.

  • bummer i only like one part of the song... where the vocals are distorted

  • love it.

  • this and helicopter are great tunes

  • omg luv this song props to gossip girl they know how to choose the songs well

  • i heard this on gossip girl,

    its amazinggg (:

  • amazing!

  • beautiful :)

    thankyou

  • lol amazing how many gossip girl fans know about bloc party now....just shows wat primitime exposure can do for a band!

  • I know really, where did all these people come from?! It's cool, I guess, the more the merrier, but it just seems like all bands that become main stream begin to loose respect. lol

  • Wow, I'm pretty sure there weren't over 50,000 views a couple days ago!

  • it was on gossip girl

  • I recognized the voice right off the bat and had to download it! The song and the scene went great together...

  • lol i kno wat u mean, but therz stil hope. Bloc party r not mainstream...yet

  • Yeah yet! haha Now that its been on gg OMG LOLZzZz all those dumb idiots will be all over it

  • dumb idiots because we didn't know the band?

    what a stupid thought

  • No, dumb idiots because some of you refer to gossip girls as GG and say OmgZzZz and write "lyk ur idiots"

  • lol

    anyway, the song is beautiful ^^

  • i watch gossip girl. does that make me a dumb idiot? youre ignorant.

    and yes this is where i heard the song.

    chill out bitch.

  • lol, soon ;)

  • I heard this on Gossip Girl last night omg

  • this song is awesome.

    it fit really well with the gossip girl episode. the part where chuck is holding the envelope and this song is playing was like "wow, it fits so well" and the part with blair and chuck brought me to tears everytime.

  • GOSSIP GIRL

    OMGG loved itt

  • This song fit so well with the last episode of Gossip girl :) love it! (Chuck and Blair!)

  • a tv show

  • wtf if gossip girl?

  • one of the best shows ever.

  • I heard this last night on Gossip Girl, and recognized them instantly.

  • love Bloc Party,

    love this song!

  • I was moved to tears when I heard this song last night on gossip girl. Wow! Awesome song

  • just heard this on gossip girl, love the song!

  • totally ran to my computer when i heard this song on gossip girl to look up the lyrics.

    never thought anything productive would come out of gg :)

  • So who else was introduced to this song by Gossip Girl?

  • totally was.... already knew the band, but had never heard the song. had to find it!

  • me!

  • i found out about through gg

  • One of my favourite tracks on the new album. Beautiful is right.

  • quite like some stuff on kid a by radiohead. great track

  • Bloc Party always manage to impress whatever they do music/sound wise.

  • totally NOTHING! if you compare this album to their first.... where is the sound of eating glas or the great song banquet? what da hell?!

  • fantastic song

  • first bloc party song i've ever heard - want to hear more now. Beautiful

  • i think this might be their best song

    just for the story behind it

    its a cut above the electro stuff, which I LOVE anyway

    but this is just amazing

  • got to be the worst song of all time

    jk, this song is so freakin good

  • interesting..the cd has eleven songs and this is number 6 therefore truly making it the centerpiece of the album. I have it and love Bloc Party and just gotta say this song stands out too much from the whole "electronics" that "intimacy "is..but damn man, this song is too sweet and beautiful!!

  • One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a while...

  • love this song

  • This Song is Hella cool ASS SHIT!!!

  • cant stop listening at it

    fucking amazing song

  • i've had this on repeat for two days.

  • i think the very beggining of this song kind of sounds like the beggining of the movie american beauty. Like before the piano comes in or keyboard comes in.

    Does anybody know what album this songs from? Is it from Intimacy?

  • yeaa it is from the album intimacy

  • cheers.

  • Yeah, Intimacy.

  • :( im sorry for your loss :( no1 likes to feel that way :( cheer up :)

  • i love it

  • wow

    that is amazing..

  • definitly one of their best songs..this blows my mind..

  • to everyone that thinks they are doing this techno stuff you have to know that each album is being influenced by 1 of the guys in the band. this is just what one of the guys in the band likes, they could be totally diffrent in the next album!!

  • This isn't great, the version on Jools Holland is so much better. it's breathtaking.

  • This and Talons are the best songs on the album in my opinion

  • to karenin and rawrits , go back to listen tockio hotel , it will watch your little and limited ears much better.

  • Sorry, but if your going to insult me try to make sense. I think Biko and Ion square are pretty good as well. All im saying is that i prefer their earlier stuff, does that make me music ignorant???

  • only good song on the album?

  • Pretty good lyrics.

  • love this song !!

  • Don't slate me, but this might be the only track i like on intimacy. First two albums are much better.

  • I agree! I'm not much of a fan of this "techno" thing they're doing but this and Trojan Horse are pretty good.

  • clas

  • poetry in the form of music

    channeling Wilde's spirit

  • Wait, do you mean channeling Oscar Wilde's spirit? LOL...How do you figure they are channeling Oscar Wilde? He was subversive and hilarious, a true genius...what in the hell do Bloc Party have to do with Oscar Wilde, aside from the fact that they are both English? And Wilde was more of a dramatist and prose writer than a poet, fyi, so I'm not sure what they really have in common...

  • wilde was irish you prig

  • hahah you're pretty right on, but wilde was Irish...

    go bloc party

  • Yeah, I know, I made a mistake (in fact, believe it or not, and most won't, I knew he was irish before I wrote that, it was just one of those things that slipped my mind)...

  • You are correct...

  • who cares if their gay at least they have integrity unlike you...

  • they're not all gay!

    gordy has a kid,

    ah-duh.

    and so what if they're gay.

    their music is still awesome.

  • And I don't mean that in a bad way- just noting similarities between Wilde and the lead singer.

    and amen, Kelleeeehalofreak.

  • its art

  • nice song- but a bit soppy, would sound better if more of if it was guitar effect.

  • best song on the album

  • Pure class

  • i see signs now all that time that youre not dead, youre sleeping...
