I tear every time I hear this song. It takes me back to when I went to see Bloc Party in SF with my boyfriend (at the time). It was an AMAZING experience to share with him. Can I go back in time please?
Lucky git! They came to NZ once - come again...... My Family live in Lancs, seen lots of crap in the winter gardens - but B Party will clear those cobwebs away.....
yeh but the guitar on this part is different than the album version, I have the official tab book. Hes doing the intro and the other guitar, is not ridculously easy on this version the album version is easy.
ohhh for sure yeah like its kinda blurry in the video so to me it looked like a simple G progression or some shit haha but thanks for clearing it up for me
Kings of Leon arent Brits and isnt the biggest song in the UK right now from KOL.......just a joke though, you gave Bloc Party and The Kooks so no complaints here!!!
This is one of the most beautiful and inspirational songs by bloc party, although all of there songs are great (xcept mercury :P), but this one sounds soo amazing acoustic. Amazing!
Whats up. We just wanted to let you know that we featured your video on The Song of the Week. If you want to see what else has been featured check out ThisWeeksSong . com Thanks or adding the video.
Kele's a really shy guy and he's just sitting on a stool on this empty stage, also Russell is also pretty nervous, but yeah Kele can of be nervous and his songs are so demanding to sing I'd be nervous if I had to sing this live.
can someone tab this on ultimate guitar for me? i have worked out most of it, its where russell nd keles guitar parts are played at once where i get confused. Thanks in advance
Its allready on there. The person who posted a video responce to this video tabbed it. However, the third section of the song isnt identical to the way bloc party play it...Good Job Mart22x though!!! Ive learned most of it thanks to him! XD
amazing...
