[polkadotttlover]

[mayhaps1]

Ｉ　ｌｏｖｅ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｓｏｎｇ　ｓｏ　ｍｕｃｈ　Ｉ want to marry it

[OctaneMembrane]

thanks pandora :)

[kennethsonnek]

Say,

Dont go back to there and,

Dont go back to there again!!!

[cleancutfun4]

like this

[jbweikel]

It's about his mom..

[SUPREMExBURRITO]

going through a break up and accidentally listened to this song.

KILL ME.

[SUPREMExBURRITO]

going through a break up and accidentally listened to this song.

KILL ME.

[GeordieJumpers01]

Beautiful song. Anyone who's loved and lost has gotta relate to this.

[hoopamama]

this fucking song right here.



[charliecross2]

I can't relate to this song at all.

[warriorzin]

This song is without a doubt written by someone who was in love.

[mcrettable]

favourite song!!

[MrLansing01]

Mike Mo Capaldi-Flatground legend

[SkaterRebellion]

@MrLansing01 HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!

[MrLansing01]

@SkaterRebellion Yeahh :)

[Landae1]

I found out about this guy or band through the music programed in my phone when I got it and have absolutely fallen in love with it ! I cried the first time listening to it. It's beautiful.

[KoRnaholic06]

5 people are just plan stupid.

[thecaptainissailing]

@KoRnaholic06 and one person cant spell "plain" right lol

[ericmsandoval]

@KoRnaholic06 I like that your name is "KoRnaholic" yet you like The Helio Sequence.

PROPS.

[blueberriesforben]

@ericmsandoval maybe he just likes corn but wants to be creative so he spelled it with a K..

[TheSandySheets]

@KoRnaholic06 Plain......stupid

[a3dez03]

Its music like this that makes me believe in music again.

[bluesensationist]

who cares

[raisin22]

i don't relate to this song at all but holy shit....SO EMOTIONAL. i just want to cry for the sake of listening to this beautiful song.

[eandosca]

hmm i dont know..i definitely see the logic in the sarcastic theory, but the melody is kind of triumphant, isnt it? that's why it's called Lately...i always took it to be that moment after a break up mooooonths later when you realize youre not upset about it anymore or do all the things youve been torturing yourself with since it happened...maybe that's just me, though!

[TiaFaeLovey]

@eandosca i agree, i am compleatly at that point too. sure i loved him, but im finally happy. <3 and now im engaged to the best man i have ever met <3 happy happy happy

[kenziikriminal]

@eandosca this is how i see it!!

[bretney]

@eandosca I wish that's what it was about! To me, it seems obvious that he is still completely fixated on this person...and he's trying to act like he's doing alright and not thinking of them at all, when really it's the only thing he's thinking about.

I think the best example of that is when after the first chorus he says "I don't get lost in daydreams..." and then trails off as if he's getting lost in a daydream.

Either way, the song is absolutely brilliant.

[ileana1027]

it kinda explains how i feel. i also feel like he doesnt want to show her but she knows about it.

[onafaitini86]

i really love this song, if my heart speak, he would say the same thing

[ParteTwo]

yo helio sequence is so mainstream

[TheAznsenzation]

@ParteTwo so is breathing. i suggest you hold your breath.

[matters5]

Living a lie I'm living a lie

[EskimoPagan]

@matters5 living alone. just sayin.

[joshsaysorry]

portland is just full of heartache isnt it.?!?! fuck.

[TiaFaeLovey]

</3

[riotkittyNS]

I own this album, yet I still always wind up coming back to Youtube to listen to this song.

[poundpuppy805]

THIS SONG IS A GRATE JAM I CAN UNDERSTAND HIS PAIN THROUGH THE EYES OF SOME1 THAT IS TRYING TO GET OVER A PERSON HE ONCE LOVED. BUT YOU HAVE 2 SHAKE THAT SHIT OFF WITH A BOTTLE OF HARD SHIT AND A NEW BITCH.

[penguinsfromalaska]

This is me xD assuming he iiis being sarcastic/lying.

*sigh*

[dannyacree]

I heard this song for the first time in a small coffee shop on the out skirts of Jacksonville FL last week while taking a break from Army life.

[chickenandgreens]

@dannyacree Where at? I live in Jacksonville

[mscrystalinesky]

If what he was singing about were literal, do you think he would be going on , in depth, about all the things people do when their heart is aching for someone? In my opinion, if you are completely over someone you are able to just say f*ck it...to all of it. If you have truly fallen in love with someone you will, to a certain degree, think and feel one or more of these things. You don't truly get over someone you've loved dearly. <3

[TheDuuuuL]

visit DUMAMEGO! :)

[losr18]

I heard this song today on my Radiohead station on Pandora.

Awesome song. =)

[SetiRabbit]

Dee

[elision8]

someday!

[cyndiparedes]

OR... MAYBE HE IS REALLY OVER HER! ...AND EVEN THOUGH HE IS THINKING OF HER... HE'S OKAY AND REALIZES HE REALLY DOESN'T NEED HER ANYMORE!?

JUST A THOUGHT - LET'S TRY TO BE POSITIVE PEOPLE!!!

PS. THIS SONG WAS ON REPEAT WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS OVER MY EX.

[jiskefetisj]

heartache is the worst.

[recoverarecobras]

screw girls.

[Crackhouts]

Boobs.

[BeneSmilee]

it makes me cry...

makes me think to my situation...

this is a huge lie... if u love a girl or a boy u can't say "i don't need u anymore"

sorry... u can say it with you lips but your heart is knowing that u re saing something wrong. this is my thought.

sorry for my depression :(

[ClaudioRaino]

@BeneSmilee I dont know who you are ;-) but I think you should follow your heart if you really feel this way...I'm sure its the right thing to do babe..

[BeneSmilee]

@ClaudioRaino

You can't talk with me you know this.

[BeneSmilee]

@ClaudioRaino

Maybe you are right!



[503michoacano]

This song is killer...tight jam

[SuperGeekychick]

I like everything about this song, and I agree with the comment about how he's lying to himself. I think it's just the opposite of what he's saying. He does think about her all the time.

[QINDYNASTY]

Good but not my type of music

[lalel126]

found this song on my g1 too! i was about to delete it but then i heard it and i decided that its definitely a keeper.

[4TheMus1c]

The lyrics are so profound and simplistic its beautiful

[slowlearner12]

It's a good thing I saw that mikemo vid

[xMikanNamix]

Well hello there amazing band. Once again I've stumbled upon a gem in music.

Awesome. Thanks for uploading.

[MusicLuverLaura]

ill get to this place one day..but i do think about him lately :/

[hockeystar0330]

so relatable... i dont know if thats a good thing for me

[nedthetoothpick]

Wow! Blew my socks off. Amazing song.

[305mez]

this song is sooo underrated its freakking amzingg

[SilBacks]

I think this song for me represents addiction. Addiction to love or anything else for that matter. In that light, I find the song immensely powerful, particularly for someone overcoming the emotional toll of addiction in whatever form. Thanks, great song.

[stevefowens84]

The perfect break up song

[bluegina1]

Saw them at the Roundhouse last night, brilliant set. The drummer is mental!

[taffboyslim]

@bluegina1 I saw them at Sherwood Forest last night (supporting Keane). They are a "2-man 5-man band". Really good songs, great sound... and yes, everyone around me agreed, the drummer is bananas.

[HannaAngell09]

Lately, too much has past now hippie. Red x

[TheBorneo06]

@HannaAngell09 'I know button nose' hippie...xox

[nutynat11]

yes

[pucksterz12]

Never heard of this until I just heard it on Pandora but so far I like it. Does sound like a cross between James and U2 but better though and less pretentious.

[xXHopesandFearsXx]

Such a lovely song. :)

[donahyoo]

my favorite song...

I have never broken up before but I have a girlfriend and if breaking up with her was this beautiful then I wouldn't grieve forever.

Alas; the world is not this perfect!!

[ryzarocks]

I love everything about this song.

[Santuario70]

One of Portland's greatest bands!

[iamando]

love the drumming

[iamando]

haha 'hurts to listen to'

[kraftdinnner]

I love this song so much, it definitely hurts to listen to but it's so beautiful, love it.

[rosesredvioletsblue]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[serindipity10]

you have an amazing voice ... such poignant lyrics

1000000000*****************

hugs

Kira x

[michaelplaying]

very beautiful music.

I enjoyed it very much.

Many many ******

Friendly greetings,

Michael

[xokikiiiii]

my ex told me to listen to this song & I was like great he hates me! but then I realized the real meaning. I still love him but Im with someone else. ughhhh

[Blueberry488]

this song makes me sad cuz it's just like him admitting that he just can't get over her...

[Punisher2all]

This song soooo grew on me,

new fan of this band!

[clancy6969]

I am pretty sure you guys are missing the meaning of the song, he is lying to himself, or being sarcastic about not thinking of her. He thinks of her all the time. OBVIOUS DUH!

[jiskefetisj]

@clancy6969 can't stop thinking about 'her' either, it's fucking agony

[okrum]

@clancy6969 Yes he is ! Thnx. English is not my language so I was not sure ! Of course he is still crazy about her ! What a great song !!!!!!!

[ShananaginsInHD]

@clancy6969 How about you shut the fuck up and let people think what they want isn't that what music is about, finding your own meaning to it? Lick my ballsack

[mishkin78]

Sometimes I like to think I'm one of the blue Pterodactyls flying out of the hands on the album cover, and that those hands are the hands of god.

[adpiandshoes]

i feel like this song was written for me.

im obsessed with the band, this song, and the lyricist really hit the nail on the head with this one. such a true depiction of life after a break up. bittersweet moving on, isn't it?

[aislingreene]

lovely :)

[ZeusComplex]

Wow, this song couldn't have come at more perfect time in my life. I just broke up with my girlfriend of two years. And i loved her so much... Its so hard to let go, but listening to this song reminded me there is a a life to live after love.

[FadedFromWinter]

never thought I'd say this but .. after almost a year, I can finally agree with the lyrics to this song and not have to pretend it anymore :) :)

[BluBrace]

@FadedFromWinter

Isn't it the sweetest and most sad feeling? Being set free from it and yet still being able to look back and smile because it did happen. Say hello to today :)

[screamingXskittles]

I'm a brand new lover of this band.

[JinGalactica]

O M G! I absolutely love this song. =)

[iheartboobieskab]

man this song is sweet(:

freakin awesome tricked out.

[gracilaneofficial]

Just found this band.... Really obsessed. Like a cross between Coldplay and Mutemath.

[SavannahxSavage]

[domyaska]

[shov777]

i saw these guys at bumbershoot when i was high out of my mind,

probably the most beautiful thing i have ever heard

[lostinthought1992]

wow if i was not for itunes imix i would not have found this song

im just blown away.. this is going on repeat

[mochabearr]

So glad I found this song again. I forgot what the band's name was shortly after I found out about them.

[FadedFromWinter]

this song is somewhat inspiring. its everything i wish i was.

[schuy454]

I just saw these guys live night before last. They were really good.

[Keeko41k]

watch?v=pvzC-J4g534

^ best unkown helio sequence song ever,.

[rinksin23]

Very nice song...

[mctlm22]

This song will forever be in my heart. I love Helio Sequence.... they feel. :)

[deargodithurtssogood]

"Take Take Take" is their best song!

[xAlekx]

young effectuals is also definitely their best album.

[deargodithurtssogood]

Yes! I can't get enough of "Young Effectuals." I'm kind of new to them.... can you suggest a runner up album that's almost as good as Young Effectuals? Thanks xAlekx.

[xAlekx]

i'd say com plex is the closest in sound to young effectuals; it's also my second favorite. their latest two albums are worth listening to also, albeit not as good as the first two.

[deargodithurtssogood]

Alright, I'll check it out. Thanks again for the info!

[no1knowsme99]

love and distance is amazing

[weLOVE2trip]

@deargodithurtssogood

I like Love and distance its awesome.

[okrum]

@deargodithurtssogood I think this is their best song...Tastes & colours...

[pellemppa]

I just can help it, I love this song.

I have listened for hours, over and over again.

What amazing song

[mahavishnu]

It's 40 past twelve 'o clock... i've been listening to this stuff since 11: 15... I just can't stop doing it!

When I bought this album (copy, 'cause here in Mexico there is no the original material by The Helio Sequence) and I listened this opening track, i just thought: What the hell? This is a fucking amazing song! This will be one of my favourite ones... ever... And, of course, it is.

[sukiriley]

love this song! keep on playing it!

[manukanu]

I think this is one of the songs they played when they opened for Keane last week in Toronto... I like them :)

[KeaneLuvr]

Good song--love the words.

[AnnaIsCo0l]

i just saw them yesterday.

they were awesome!!!

:D they r touring with Keane.

[Shimizuchan1898]

they were very awesome :-D

[Tekskrispys]

Aragon Ballroom? That whole concert was amazing!!

[Dasylvsta200]

Lucky! Where can I find out when they're touring again?

[AnnaIsCo0l]

i don't really know, they probably have some kind of website that says so tho ^-^

[BLAH789018jjj]

Thanks :)

[elham906]

LOVE IT!!!!! Thank You!

[vfranklint]

this song hurt my heart :(

[mahavishnu]

I can't get enough of this stuff!

This is just amazing!

"Lately" never gets me bored. It reminds U2's guitars and Radiohead's sadness.

[crv110]

Did you guys know that this is a 2 piece band?

[fearbeforeaidan]

i did

[chemicalxeyes]

ive seen them live twice and they are awesome. they have a lot of energy and the music is great, of course :)

[misterbuckethead]

one of which is benjamin weikel, from Modest Mouse.

This is the best song on the album imo.

[Allgamesarefun]

i found this song on my G1 and i love it this song goes to my girl brenda i dont need u any more!!!! 5 stars

[stupidtakenusernames]

God, you're a witty fuck.

[503michoacano]

@Allgamesarefun I found this song on my G1 as well...thats how I came to learn bout these foos...this jam is tight...its fitting in my life right now...but I think more like if she would dedicate it to me though...

[chrisspearpoint]

[urface323]

[gioruss88]

[nocturnalbeauty94]

[akjd90]

The hills is a fake show haha its scripted///faggot show

[kittenkraze13]

I heard Can't Say No a while ago and loved it, yet I hadn't looked into The Helio Sequence's other music until recently. I wish I had earlier... This band is fantastic!

[gian2g]

this song came with my G1...

[beachemrobbins]

That's where I heard them too, I liked Brett Dennon's tune as well...

[truebman100]

[ImAnAsianInDisguise]
