[thecelticmist]

great song

[johnnyhorrorface]

CALM AS THE COLOUR check this band out :-)

[Belloran24]

This song is catchy as hell man. Love it. 

[powershop1903]

Dear youth: Pick up an instrument and start playing. Not doing this was the biggest regret of my life

[Sindizwe]

I used to hate Glasvegas, but then I was at the Borderline the other night when they suddenly started playing this, and I realised something - I fucking love this song!

[rmevans0309]

Calling all animal species... this way please. Welcome

[thecelticmist]

class fucking song

[oddguy314]

Even though I've hated you for the last two years, this song always reminds me of how I used to feel.

[15gian15]

@oddguy314 the same for me here....

[christiaan81music]

VEVO rrr not available in your country,, that sucks .. I would like the official vid

[RodgerSmith11]

An embarrassment to scotland

Accent is horrible, Singing in slang, Idiot is being kind

[RM6721]

@RodgerSmith11

F*** off

[EoghanDog]

@RodgerSmith11 wat a prick lol

[RodgerSmith11]

@EoghanDog What a prick I think you mean? Not sure if your foreign or something.

[EoghanDog]

@RodgerSmith11 this is youtube not an english test

[Frederik201092]

@RodgerSmith11 *you're 

[RodgerSmith11]

@Frederik201092 What are you doing listening to Glasvegas with grammar like that?

[Frederik201092]

@RodgerSmith11 The temptation was too great... When you feel like pointing out another person's bad grammar, you need to be on the safe side regarding your own..:)

[RodgerSmith11]

@Frederik201092 My correction was regarding spelling.

[Frederik201092]

@RodgerSmith11 which is is an integral part of grammar.:)

[RodgerSmith11]

@Frederik201092 Not necessarily, but never the less, It was poor grammar from myself, caught off guard on a video where I've seen a couple literate people.

[BassBeastXX]

@RodgerSmith11 YOU sir are a disgrace to Scotland.

[RodgerSmith11]

@BassBeastXX I can only hope.

[sc0ttw11]

lmao ill need eh try that one out i normally do 1 at a time lol :P

[libertinemart]

There are two things that make me orgasm - a vagina and a Glasvegas song. Combine the two and we've hit the JACKPOT

[megarhino100]

When I saw u2 in their 360 concert glasvegas were the support act, and in all honesty they were shite.

[MarquiseOfHearts]

I LOVE this guys accent *_*

I'm taken aback by these guys, oh my they are good =D

[paxalinho35]

My New fav song :D

[yournamehere2323]

[gemmad4it]

i dont giv a fudge as2who.wot,or when!!!!!!!!all i need2know is its a fudgin beauty!really!(and im never wrong so im told!);¬D

[gemmad4it]

@gemmad4it oh yeh im 1/4 scotish&thats where i get my cute banter from tehe ;=]

[yolirod75]

I´m from Mexico, and I don´t know about Glasvegas, they are great!!

[MissNeonFruits]

heard this from going the distance!- now one of my favorite bands!

[Zooocer]

I don't know what he is singing but I love to singalong to this song!!

[TheSimonRowell]

It's good to hear someone singing with a scottish accent. Great song very uplifting. Are they good live?

[hassana91]

@TheSimonRowell they played rockness and were alright hiy.

[hassana91]

@TheSimonRowell they played rockness and were alright hiy.

[legandrydirk]

@hassana91 I wonder if it will stay the theme for Sportscene next season?

[TheWrongBoyfriends]

@TheSimonRowell

No

They are shite live

[sdraver92]

@TheSimonRowell ma bro saw them n said they wer amazin, 1 o ma mates saw them another time but couldnt make out 1 word coz they wer out there head lol

[SWEDISHnFINNISH]

Good!

[lalalaMyOwnWorld]

But still.. the xx are way fucking better than this band. Just sayin' c:

[gangstarr0work]

great track! i've found tons of good music this week. damn good stuff.

[Mrlebricabrac]

HEY !!! WATCH "JELLY PLANE"  on YOUTUBE !!!

[nicollnick]

love at first sight with this song!

[dixonite]

slipnut sucks a ball or two......that just goes to show the depth and understanding of a band who plays melodic music w/ meaning, and a bunch of loser posers who are probably in their 30s and who hide behind masks because w/o props like that, no one who has any taste w/ even remotely be interested in their brand of bland, banal, juvenile excuse for music...

[waynefoo1]

joe strummers twin lol

[posuerbuster]

Why not be yourself instead of dressing up like JOE STRUMMER? This singer needs to get a clue and be an individual instead of trying to be someone else.

BUSTED!

[yackoftheyear]

@posuerbuster you can't fight Mother Nature, you dumb geek...

[SWEdrummer95]

I got to be honest, this band suck balls! They cant even play theire instruments. SlipKnoT is much better.. why do people like glasvegas?

[ravergurl420]

@SWEdrummer95 they are way different bands man bad comparison

[BTonic1]

@SWEdrummer95 Then you could argue by saying that Slpknot can't sing properly, their songs have no real meaning or depth, Glasvegas never left their roots, they sing about things that matter to a lot of people. Slipknot scream at you through masks.

[kanzerz]

@BTonic1 lol slipknot are full of meaning and depth

[TheStephenmcknight]

Like if this is one of your favorite songs !!! :D

[exxalte]

anyway good

[marangswisch]

I'll see them live in Gothenburg this summer

[voleusepatente]

Génial !

[rjmmil]

Best fucking intro ever!!

[punchline911]

see, scottish people aren't completely useles.....xD

[ImTellingOnYoo]

@punchline911 I'm South African/Scottish and don't know what to say to that

[newmoongal17]

I get to see them in Pennsylvania!!! Im SO excited :)

[joshbarker12345]

I'm pretty sure this was released first. Besides, this is a much better song. Glasvegas FTW!

[D3ltra]

Two questions for the whingers in the comments section:

1) If you don't like them, why are you watching the video?

2) Why do you only compare them to other Scottish bands? I didn't know music had to be so segregated

[Davred77]

saw them open for Kings of Leon... sounded great live!



[weejohnnie]

WHATS NOT TO LIKE EXCELLENT BAND

[ghostguy2k7]

This is awful...

[scottymacg28]

@ghostguy2k7 PRICK

[Mrmadfish]

YES!!!

[celticrover]

Big Country, lol. They were shite! These guys are a hundred times better.

[MrHistorian123]

Christ, this band is truly awful.

Not fit to lick the boots of really great Scottish bands like Big Country, Runrig and Wolfstone.

[Steviemtothec]

fuckinsweatys

[Howl93]

I've discovered this because of gaga. She said in an interview that this band is amazing and it is!

[xxmegxx9]

love this band, so unique, and different! love it x

[Beckycee94]

I never knew who this band was until i seen them live today at galsgow

[lyndsk2689]

CLASSIC. can't wait for the new album Tuesday, I'm excited to hear new stuff from them!

[guybrush69]

MA NAME IS GERALDINE AM YER SOCIAL WARKAAAARRRR! hahaha what a line!!



[acarebear22]

Love this band. check out their new song "the world is yours"- so good!

[steensen93]

i can´t understand a word of what they are saying?!

[D3ltra]

@steensen93 Paste the lyrics into Google Translate and put Scottish > English,

[bigmassivedan]

such a good song, such a good band.

[brew667]

My eldest sister is called Geraldine and has been a rock and pillar of strength ever since we were kids. She's like a mother and sister rolled into one and when I first heard this song the hair stood on the back of my neck cause it was like it was written about her. I'd be too embarrassed to say it to her but I don't know what I would do if she was'nt my sister. I love her so much cause she's always there to take my side, even when i'm wrong.  Thanks Glasvegas for this song.

[UpSyndrome2]

@brew667 That is so cool you should sooo tell her 

[brew667]

@UpSyndrome2 She knows, I don't need to tell her. We're very close, always have been. I'll always be her kid brother even though now i'm in my thirties. Thats just her nature. It really is strange though how this song describes exactly my Geraldine. She's carried me through so much shit i would'nt even know how to repay her. Thanks for the interest though.

[janezzek]

@brew667 Tell her. Or at least show her your comment.

[brew667]

@janezzek We just don't have that sort of relationship, but she knows.

[MrOmgomgomgwhat]

saw them last weekend:) got the drummers stick and shook the singers hand

[agentsparx]

CLICK THE AWE0:00SOME BUTTON!

[lilcaitz]

this is their best song.

[NoPrEJudice201]

does make you feel proud to be a scot,amazing tune.

[NotoriousBck]

Seen them at T in the Park 2009 they are amazing live too!

[Joeyyy1300]

Same guitaring as The XX - VCR?

[agentsparx]

@Joeyyy1300 It is! The XX picked a good line to take though! fits both songs wel

[Joeyyy1300]

@agentsparx Yeah i agree :) both top songs

[Electricity0]

@Joeyyy1300 and also sounds much like White Lies - Death

[Joeyyy1300]

@Electricity0 Yep it does :)

[broxi97]

@Joeyyy1300 It's pretty popular, 99% Sure it was in a Kings of Leon song?

[Joeyyy1300]

@broxi97 Im not too sure, most probably is:)

[pbless29]

@Joeyyy1300 very similar. except this song came out two years earlier.

[MrFaramarzi]

heart skipped a beat copy?

[agentsparx]

@MrFaramarzi wrong song

[Fatal548]

Makes me proud to be Scottish

[dontuknowhoithinkiam]

fell in love with this band. the feeling of it is stuck under my skin. makes me wanna come back to scotland.pure beauty.

[xXBeccaStarXx]

I love how he doesn't mask his accent :D They make me proud to be a Scot

[MoNsTeRzZzHD]

@xXBeccaStarXx welll SAID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joeaziz]

wtf this is the same as 'The XX - VCR, well the beginning anyway

[supertrigg]

Similar, but it was produced and written before the XX and miles better :)

[McLovin593]

Am I missing something? I think that this is quite average music...why do people think they are so amazing?

I might need to let the song grow on me though.

[Sunnysun033]

@McLovin593 Because they are amazing.

[333TKillers]

this song reminds me of the kids from yesterday

[ghostwhispererx]

Glasvegas are amazing :)

[RorschachB1]

man i wish i has a sauage like that-dude 3rd row in-nxt 2 the coolest dude alive!

[Dreamer2389]

This sounds nothing like Death to me lol Great song anyway, they were in Dunfermline just that weekend passed but I couldn't go, Gutted.

[MrJewChild]

took me a while to notice that the second one was a lass..

[CrumblePistoos]

this sounds exactly as a copy of white lies - death, but not as good as WL at all...

[londoncalling45]

@CrumblePistoos Hang on a minute if anyone copied which is what you are insinuating then it was W/lies not The Vegas as they were plying their trade way before and it sounds nothing like death not sure where you are coming from. Knowing both bands personally I think they would agree with my sentiments.No doubt you will come back abusive and say you don't know these guy's before you do check out my you tube channel

[CrumblePistoos]

@londoncalling45 this is a single copy of white lies

[andy19214]

@CrumblePistoos Unless you can prove that the White Lies song was written before this then I suggest you shut the fuck up

[supertrigg]

@CrumblePistoos Are you tone death? lol

[sergeantfan]

@CrumblePistoos Glasvegas slaughter the living shite out of White Lies.

[Sunnysun033]

@CrumblePistoos Haha you fail. This song was written and released a year before Death was. So Death would be a copy of this song. Get your facts straight. Plus, Death sounds NOTHING like this amazing song :P

[oXSoulSilverXo]

I like this band cause I can actually sing their songs and it sounds alright lol (i'm Scottish)

[Misishaxi]

@oXSoulSilverXo Lucky you. I sound like some Posh kid from Edinburgh impersonating a Londoner 9even though I'm from nowhere near those palces). I can't sing fucking anything convincingly.

[oXSoulSilverXo]

@Misishaxi Lmao, well by alright I mean not awful, I wouldn't call it good :P

[11xzxzxz]

Good song. A fine Scottish band I never heard until just now. Danny Boy bring me a bigger bagpipe I could almost cry. And don't forget In a Big Country. Part of it sounds like David Bowie's Heroes. Come on with the lyrics - "" My name is Geraldine I'm your social worker"" The rest of the lyrics aren't much better. I mean the theme and meaning are beautiful but the lyrics need a lot of attention and anyone who writes me nasty stuff is gonna need medical attention. Joke

[londoncalling45]

@11xzxzxz James Allen is a modern day lyrical genius FACT and I'm a music journalist I listen to bad lyrics and although Geraldine is by no means the strongest song lyrically

[11xzxzxz]

@londoncalling45 thanks for your honesty.

[giffygray]

Maryljordan05 - it dont work!

[Jerkosan1]

Nice song i admit.

[999mychemicalromance]

Gerard way loves this band <3

[pimano]

What the hell? Bono meet Jesus And Mary Chained.

This is like zoophilia.

[charliekilley]

great song

[R31entless]

The xx should be sued for ripping off the guitar of this song.

[landerfrederickx]

@R31entless they didn't rip it off. And the xx > glasvegas.

[areetlikehew]

@landerfrederickx you're a dilluded bellend. it's a clear rip off.

[landerfrederickx]

@areetlikehew whatever, you clearly don't want to go into a rational discussion, since you're too biased about the xx/glasvegas...

[areetlikehew]

@landerfrederickx I'm not biased, i just have ears. and I can hear that the xx have completely ripped the riff in geraldine off. it's crazy to say its not a rip off actually...are you mad?

[HJManson]

@areetlikehew deluded.

[areetlikehew]

@HJManson haha fair one. apologies for the misspelling

[areetlikehew]

@HJManson but it's an obvious rip off, no question :P I hope someone from the xx reads these comments.

[Eranmane]

..and watch things on VCR...

[professionalkillergk]

are the last lines "I'm your social worker"?

[lexycoo]

@professionalkillergk yes it,s my name is Geraldine I,m u,r social worker

[professionalkillergk]

@lexycoo Thank you. You should improve your spelling, though.

[cmf1986]

One of the XX's songs is a blatant rip-off of the guitar in this song.

[rjmmil]

correction the best guitar riff ever ever ever ever

[rjmmil]

the best intro ever

[HeadfulOfHollow]

Haven't heard a tune so cheerful and powerful in the last ten years.

[TheJanajanajanjan]

i heard VCR by the xx earlier and thought that it sounded like this. am i going mad???

[MrBurty9]

love the song and the band aswelll :P

[zmonTepison]

got a bit of a proclaimers thing going on..

[bushranger100]

The best song to come out of Scotlalnd in a very long time!!!!! Love it! unique but sorta familiar, if you know what I mean!

[discohfc1]

@bushranger100 this is a great song but paolo is a class above

[bushranger100]

@discohfc1 well I am a Londoner & I have only heard snipitts of paolo nuntini, he dont get played on the stations I listen to xfm & nme, I do like what I have heard, but I cant see it catching me like geraldine, the rawness & sensitvity of the lyrics coupled with some personal parrellels. Make this a really special song for me. However I intend to give paulo some of my attention. Hit me with a track!

[discohfc1]

@bushranger100 this is a great song but paolo is a class above

[discohfc1]

@bushranger100 these streets ,10/10 ,rewind and pencil full of lead to name a few

[bushranger100]

@discohfc1 well I did have a good listen & just ok for me untill, I listened too a cover of wake up by arcade fire that was excellent, mabe he should sing in a more conteporary style more, cus I loved it,

[shrimperking]

@bushranger100

It's probably familiar because the same riff is used in the xx's 'VCR'. As both songs were released at roughly the same time, it is not known who wrote it first. :)

[ryan1234821]

@shrimperking Glasvegas' debut album - Released September 2008.

The XX debut album - Released August 2009

I think it's pretty obvious who wrote it first. :)

[eamonreillydotcom]

Love this band to bits even if nobody else does.

[blender315]

It sounds like The XX - VCR, & i love both =)

Sorry for my bad english..

[wolvez2]

@blender315 your english is fine :)

[duanescot]

freakin wonderfull song, how on gods green earth is it that 59 people DONT like this, I guess there is no accounting for taste, must be britney spear lovers

[SuzaneVonRichthofen]

Believe it or not, they are a HUGE success here in Brazil. Music knows no bounds.

[pepsidruid]

awesome...

[vallonyes]

Incredible music.

James Allan oh yeah baby ...

Anytime.

Anytime!

[irhjma30000]

This song is amazing....absolutely amazing. Enough said. That's all that should be said on this video, period.

[wolvez2]

the music sounds like the xx vcr :o

[benmcloughlin1]

best british band out der...

[rfierroful]

@benmcloughlin1 pfffffffffff tell me you're kidding? they're scottish.
