[ruzza999]

i love this song. this is the first time iv heard it in about a year and it still gives me shivers. takes me back to the very first time i heard it aswell!!

[smileysista321]

I LOVED IT but only because My Uncle Mark is the drummer!!!!

Bet he's glad he didn't listen in school now!!lol

[heatherwhittaker]

@smileysista321 really? haha he is my first cousin once removed! I only found that out not too long ago.

[glennbuchan]

[vincentjdrummer]

the vid is totally out of sync, but it's a nice one

[piadox]

That's the whole point of shoegazing: just stand there and play. Anyways, their music is pretty amazing and energetic, I personally don't go to a concert to watch the singer jump through hoops.

Too bad, there are no more "up close" videos here on YT... they don't even have a site.

[Besitzen]

They're not bored, they're just very typically shoegaze.

[jackjude]

The lead singer was very animated when I saw them a few weeks ago. A great front man, it's a bit limp here.

[99mcnamep]

nonsense. the twılıght sad need to be seen lıve. preferably ın a small pub. absolutely outstandıng! and so very very loud.

[klesterchopperchipe]

Exactly 99mcnamep. They need to be seen live. I find comments of them looking bored bizarre. Who needs cliched posturing and stage antics? Let the music do the talking, and The Twilight Sad's moves me more than any other band recently. And James is an incredibly intense frontman... see them live and you'll know what I mean!!

[piadox]

I get the feeling that these guys are more of a band to "listen to" than a band "you gotta see them live"...

love the songs anyways!

[piadox]

oh, who are you? go awaaaayy...

yeah, this was the very first video I saw of them. Not the best one, at all. Does NO justice to this song. If you wanna feel the greatness look for one of the more recent ones, where they do an a capella intro that's shivering inducing!

[fionndan]

point us in the direction of the more recent recordings with the a capella intro please?

[piadox]

I can't paste a link here, the comment will never get through.

The video I was referring to is actually on the "Related Videos", uploaded by SamantherX and recorded in Moshulu, Aberdeen. There's another fairly recent video from KEXP that is pretty amazing. Both greatly recommended! :)

[stuveback]

saw them at roskilde yesterday and it's one of the best perfomances i've ever seen! great band!

[icapturethecstle]

i feel like the bassist was bored to tears throughout the set haha

[Konatus]

They all look so very, very bored!

[bloodivalentyne]

ah, it kills me to say i missed them here in seattle back in april. this video makes me wish i had gone even more. BAAAAAAAAAH. you're soo lucky to have seen them live.

[Michael977]

Amazing stuff =]

[duvtit]

Brilliant!  Great band.

[perspicaciouscritic]

The Twilight Sad are what Arcade Fire should be.

[OutOTW]

This is such a amazing band, and I love the album, I hope I can see them someday here in Portugal.

[nairassoy]

Damnit, Scotland gets these guys AND Mogwai. That's just not fair.

[davierfc]

we get two great bands XD if anything we need more!

[indieintraining]

woman, next time focus on the guitarist, please. yeah thanks.

[gedgecc]

Na James is far more handsome than Andy

[icapturethecstle]

ha this is the only video i took of the show, because i was frontcenter and it was an incredibly tiny venue, top floor of a bar. i've been caught filming before, and it isn't fun.

[StainedGlassPoet]

love this band. more vids please.

[teamgatto]

Completely amazing...

[visionize]

fantastic band
