Bell X1 - Tongue

[jojothevilpooh]

Ah The Last Broadcast, you'd miss it. I remember seeing this video on it and falling in love with Paul and band. Must have been 2002 or 2003?

[MrDevil0910]

I'd rather honestly the Damien version!!! However ... little nice also this!

[kargath101]

I didn't know that anyone liked airline food.

[HeyxBuddy]

The breakup was a good thing to happen. Damien shines so much better on his own as does Bell X1

[hugo3290]

sound a tad like radiohead i think, sure i heard the lead singer is obsessed with them i think so what do you guys think

[kargath101]

@hugo3290 Yeah they def have a radiohead-related sound.

[TheCnoonan123]

6 people have no tongues..

[dadan2000]

holy shit ...some bass

[StrawbsShadow]

Jerry Flannery is singing now? Great song though.

[AngelineScanlon]

I love damien rice and these lads but glad they seperated cos they and damien are better on their own.

[YouthComplex]

This is the one band that I think people need to start buying albums, rather than downloading. They're not very popular and they could really do with the sales. (Besides, it shows loyalty).

[Brencann]

Brillant ! I love this song , love it ! Great video too.Great band .

[skippy646]

2006 . bell x1 supported damien in ireland or summat similar . i believe they stayed close after juniper . just went in different directions ...

[kund99el]

love it love it.. that is the reason why i did cover them...

maybe some day they will reune:D

[SupernaturalSushi]

When i heard this song on "Boy Eats Girl" i had to find it. Glad i did. Great hypnotic melody.

[chromedreamz]

i'd like to know who wrote this song...Damien or Noonan or both..Damien does play it live.......

[boru1982]

@chromedreamz both musicians wrote this song according to wiki

[Mead23nyny]

great video and song

[cuttoothom]

Very Thom Yorke-y vocal - in a good way.

[Corkgirl79]

WHAT A SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LaDeeDaDeeILyk2Party]

[emero1]

[kfarr06]

[sarahcahill9988]

<3 Bell X1 !

Great song

[LilMissIr3laNd]

i love this song!

[whatdeyecallher]

I like airline food :L:L

that was a bit random :)

love them but this isn't one of their best songs

[boru1982]

@whatdeyecallher The song sounds like it is about going down on somebody. I wouldn't call the line random.

[zeitguestdedicsi]

didnt like bell x1 till i heard this

[Futureindiestar16]

pretty good song.

[JigoroKano]

They are shit without Damien. You have to hear the version of Damien Rice, it's completely breathtaking...

[doomdog]

Ssshh... Be quiet you, all your words are wrong.

[JoAlternative]

=D super!

[TheRealHiccup]

Agreed, paul is a fucking amazing singer.

[dualcoverage]

are you talking about the live version?

[k8luvsmcr]

i love them :)

they live about five minutes away from me X)

[ciarawesome]

God, this sucks. I absolutely love the lyrics and Damien Rice, but I wish he would sing it. This song sucks. The the melody and voice are lifeless.

[johnopig]

sick video!

[NIKLASoad]

i wanna hear something of juniper..

but i cant find anything..

[jgonsalk]

Videos are up. Just look it up.

[MareSue]

woah woah..how do these guys and Damien Rice connect?

[irishmusiccentral]

Damien Rice and Bell X1 were in a band together years ago called 'Juniper'. Juniper broke up, Damien went solo and the other four guys formed Bell X1.

[MareSue]

Ohh okay. Thanks, I didn't know that. Well, they all make good music now. I wonder what Juniper sounded like..

[Ferdie123]

There's still a lot of juniper mp3's on the internet.

Juniper has a very underground sound to it, sometimes very trippy, sometimes hardrocking, often hypnotic. I very much like it.

[nihilism301]

Damien Rice wrote this with "Bell X1" and has played it a few times live as well. Juniper has a great song called weatherman, which they both have played and is amazing

[AidanParle]

Quite like this actually. I saw them about 5 times and have their first EP called Manna. It's good.

[Bosco239]

@irishmusiccentral I never knew that.

[hydrofreakie]

@irishmusiccentral damien rice is pure crap towards thesse guys.ffs

[djchewie09]

@MareSue

They're all from a own called Celbridge, just outside Dublin (Co. Kildare to be precise).

Juniper were pretty good, but how could they not be with that much talent in the band.

Bell X1's first album, 'Neither Am I' also has a version of 'Volcano' on it as they wrote it with Damien before the split.

[lajeunepadawane]

I have see them before Nada Surf too and they make very good music! great songs! ^^

[Choupadi]

Didn't know them before yesterday when I saw them live before Nada Surf and they are excellent! Really good perfomance!

[xxTitziexx]

Im sorry..are some people deaf???can they not hear pauls amazing voice?!damien rice wouldnt have gotten anywhere wothout these boys!!I dont understand how they haven't "made it"..they're legends!such good lyrics,musicians and singing talents!!

[RSRYAN10]

Damien Rice wrote this song, among others- and the song 'Eve' formally 'never' also co-written by Damien- and listen to Volcano as they both have that song on their CD's- tell me which is better- Damien rules. I do love Bell X1- and also wonder how they haven't hit it big, but don't dis Damien- he's too cool. better live too

[oscarkev190]

yeah i have always wanted to ask bell x1 why in the sleeves the give damo writing credits for face, volcano and tongue but not eve

the only things thats different to never is the intrument arrangement and an extra/altered verse

but all the same i can never say who prefer

damo, bellies, frames/hansard: the holy trinity of irish music

[nihilism301]

I like how you put that, the trinity is perfect!

[lilange91]

i luv this video whish it was on itunes

[pizzafreak54]

lilange91, you could download an FLV recorder for free and just record the video. :)

[barraomiochain]

Its a pity that damian rice has enjoyed so much more commercial success especially in the uk as its pretty obiuous he wasn't the most talented in Juniper, not even close. Bell x1 are a truly brilliant band

[pizzafreak54]

im pretty sure it means he likes airline food because apparently no one does... but im not that sure

[35rozza]

im so glad damien left this band!

paul voice is the shiz!

[h0rseb0x]

Rice is an absolute ass! Thank God he left Juniper, it's an absolute blessing to have Bell X1.

[lickthetip]

This song langers me!. Brilliant!!!.

[EvilCerealBoX]

Hmmm reminds me of VAST. I like it surprisingly.

[taekeo765]

i love that indie sound with a tad grunge and passion i lovesss it

[jethrohalpinos]

engineer did well

[juliabalogh]

damien rice wrote this song

[35rozza]

as did all the members of juniper... 4 being the now bell x1....

damien rice used most of the songs they wrote in his o album...

paul writes much better songs... and also is a better singer.... damien needs a band behind him cus his singin is shit

[undivided21]

thts a load of rubbish damien is way better than this. he has sold millions of records and he didnt even try to.

[oscarkev190]

actually damo only used 4 on o, and 1 on 9

but fuck it he deserved to play anything he wrote im amazed he never played never/eve

and he is a great singer and better than paul in my opinion

[themadam298]

this song is amazin!! its been stuck in my head since i heard it bout a yr ago!! savage!!

[philofelinist]

I had no idea Damien Rice was doing a cover. I still love the song =D

[Logikally]

Damien Rice used to sing for this band many moons ago. They were called Juniper back then tho.

[albertiny87]
