Amazing and flawlessly put together. This is real artistry particularly the vocals and drumming. They could not have made this song sound any better.

[ryr067]

awesome

[SWeatherby]

Please tell me thats an egg on Sams drum at 2:58 : )

[SWeatherby]

The whole performance was flawless. Orlandos voice is like no others

[mrpatrickrevans]

@SWeatherby Tim Booth (james) or possibly the singer from Belle and Sebastien are the next 2

[mrpatrickrevans]

@SWeatherby Or possibly Charlie Fink (Noah & The Whale)

[sevenblueowlss]

[Keezywunz]

his voice. never heard anything as amazing.

[surfcello]

Interesting song (bit like the Beatles, don't you think?), smooth singing and fabulous band!

[shh4]

@surfcello Just cause they're Brits doesn't mean they sound anything like the Beatles

[surfcello]

@shh4 No, of course not. But I mean the music, not the words or pronunciation.

[shh4]

@surfcello Fair enough. Not taking anything away from these guys, but the Beatles would write a stronger melody than this.

[surfcello]

@shh4 No question about that :-D

[Campestral]

@shh4 don't be a downer lol they're a totally different trip

[TonyJackMusic]

before you know it you're pushing up the daisies

[MacMaya84]

Massive Tune! Tickets booked!

[joopveenis]

Just discovered this brilliant band!! Ordered tickets straight away, for the gig in Amsterdam Paradiso 8 febr 2012. Really looking forward to it.

(btw intro of this song reminds me of the intro from a song Marlise from the band Fisher Z)

[tw0stepstwice]

i don't think the camera guy likes felix, he is hardly shown :(

[Evchia]

Song of the year so far!

song of the year

[manurwickd]

I love how Sam Doyle (the drummer) drums like he is in a metal band. Love it :P

[phillipotato]

@manurwickd Pretty sure he doesn't, he drums like the bossest indie drummer going, nothing else

[Tirdfish]

@manurwickd I'm a fan but he's no Dave Grohl or Dave Lombardo.

[soul68ou1]

[nattyTWQC]

<3

[24610mecca]

He has two because one will be set to sing normal and the other will allows for "echo"

[tony301408]

This is stunning



[AndrejDamjanich]

why is he singing into 2 mics?

[alvarezkingsmusic]

@AndrejDamjanich ONe mic has slightly for reverb/echo for the ohhhsssss

[bobbins2410]

Eh?? Why has this not got more views???? C'mon - spread the news, guys!!

[bobbins2410]

replay!! replay!!

[MsVentz]

Ooo goosebumps - how fantastically fab was that??!!!!

[Interbasser]

his voice is bloody unique

[lilbitinluvdeux]

everyone's so good

[natewez]

best drummer for this sort of music (i dont want to say indie)

[georgefewings93]

@natewez lol that's an epic comment! YEAH SOOPER INDEH

[ALXrecords]

@natewez indie is exactly what it is

[natewez]

@ALXrecords really? i would say they are more of a becoming more of an alternative progressive band now. and anyway the technical term for indie is staying on a small independent label since you got signed. fiction records is not that.

[ALXrecords]

@natewez agreed, but this brings to light how indie isn't a genre then, it's more of a description, or a format; elbowed out of legitimate use by major label tripe such as mary byrne, ronan parke and one direction. don't get me started on the wombats

[LoPhiSounds]

@natewez This is guy is fire! Can't dismiss Matt Helders though.

[OGrizzle92]

@natewez The Maccabees are an indie band...

[Billysmawfs]

really good drummer

[TireFill]

@swallowbird maybe beacause this is not the official channel, or the official views.. Go find that one (maybe not a lot) more views, but at least it's the official one ;)

[ihazdrumkit]

Good this is just so good. How come he sings into 2 mics?

[swallowbird94]

148 views is shameful! more people need to see Orlando's happy singing dance!
