Listening to the live performance of this song gave me a feeling of pure unadulterated pleasure in the pit of my stomach. I tilted my head back, took off my glasses, closed my eyes and literally could not move. All I could do was smile and sing along.
I encourage all Bloc Party fans to search up the lyrics to this song. They are absolutely beautiful and that emotion is projected on Kele's face in this performance. This song makes me cry, it's so beautiful.
@grungifiedtwo They are coming back. They offically announced the end of the hiatus. It's also rumored that they're already in the studio building up some musical chemistry again.
fucking beautifle, only other band i know that can make music like this is smashing pumplins but only a few of thiers!!! there has to be other bands like this!!!! anyone know any???
@shadowred3 I completely agree with you about the Smashing Pumpkins, Mayonaise has got to be one of the most amazing songs ever written. A lot of people may disagree with me but i'd have to put Brand New and Modest Mouse in this league as well. Songs like Jesus Christ and Little Motel are not far short of perfect in my eyes. And of course there's always Radiohead

@theParanoidification :S radiohead stuff is crap compared to this. Their songs seem so empty, a poor drummer, unemotional guitar, and a singer that overdoes it to overcompensate for the band's deficiencies. When I was much younger and listening to music for the first time I like radiohead, but after spending countless hours in music playing/composing/teaching (my career), there is no doubt that bloc party is the better band by a mile. Just because radiohead are older doesn't make them better
@anathir I used to like Radiohead just like you until I got into music playing. Can't stand them now. Bloc Party is by far the better band. Thom Yorke can shove his head in a toilet
2:10 - 2:24 they are just together, to me thats very nice, i want to have a photo of this moment, it so beatiful. Mainly we see the members of diferents bands to play their instruments in stage and thats it, but almost there is no physical contact between them. Bloc party can do whatever they want because they are the best. I want that they return to Mexico. BLOC PARTY ROCKS¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
i agree, with other bands there is no interaction. its almost like "yeah, lets do our parts and go". I think its beautiful that kele and russell interact with each because it shows that they really do care for each other. I love this band soo much. Bloc Party-legendary
Saw these guys on Saint Patty's Day this year in San Francisco. My room mate bought me the ticket since he was suprised that I never heard of Bloc Party. Now I understand why.... they are amazing!!!
The Apollo gig in 2005 was good but it didn't hold a candle to the gig at manchester academy this year. It was the best show I've ever seen (except Ray Davies of the Kinks)
i think its abit much to say that radiohead are crap. if it werent for them there probably wouldnt be a bloc party.
