  • This is epic live!!!!

  • HES A DECEPTICON!!!! DONT LET HIM NEAR CHICAGO!!!

  • Kele's face at 2:10 is just saddening. He's looking into the distance, thinking of the one he lost. :(

  • Fucking love Russel's guitar. ;) BLUEBURST FTW

  • every band should record their entire album live on jools holland. best show on tv. amazing quality music. love it

  • This song is so beautiful and amazing!! I love it!!

  • This is one of the most beautiful and amazing songs ever!! Love it!!

  • pity its his right eye!

  • Man, I swear I've never seen Russell's left eye because of his hair XD

  • the xylophone is EARGASMIC

  • I'm the one that's drowning now.

  • i've never heard a song like this which has impacted my life in soo many ways. bloc party is simply the best.

  • can somebody/anybody! please tell me what type of glockenspiel gordon uses here? i will honestly give you the highest of fives if you do.

  • Kele Supports Autobot! HAHA.

  • amazing song :) although I can't help feeling that the lead singer, although shows emotion in his voice, isn't that good at singing :S lol

  • Luscious lips

  • One of my favorite indie rock bands ever.

  • so beautiful, i think i like this better than the recorded version

  • gay

  • @vistroor HAHAHA, kid, you have Through The Fire and the Flames in your favorites. You're the faggot here, okay? Go back to watching your stupid ass South Park, and quit wasting the time of those of us who actually have good taste, okay?

  • @KingTaargusVII i dont think he's calling the song gay...i think he might just be going around from video to video exclaiming his sexuality and love for penis

  • chuck =D

  • DECEPTICONS XD. awesome song.

  • look at his eyes at 2:12

  • @manutdfanatics he really feels it..

  • I love Kele's shirt. XD

  • fender hot rod deluxe x3, that's what russel uses most

  • does anyone know if they are fender hot rod deluxe amps or fender devilles???

  • crap

    

  • blueburst tele very nice

  • playing the xylophone (or whatever that is) must be a bitch for this song

  • @cdh0129

    Oh fuck it is.

    I've tried.

  • @cdh0129 The marimba, haha, awesome song, band, damn!!!

  • the LIVE version is much better because of the Russell's guitar riff.

    Russell is genius!

    I want Bloc Party back!

    F*#k off Kele solo, Russel's Pin me down and Ash 2nd guitar!

  • Most played on my ipod :)

  • 2:43 - 3:50 best part! both the bass and the electric guitar sound so good

  • is there any difference with this vid of them performing live and the one in the studio?? i want to download the better one. and this is the most underater bloc party song btw, had to listen to it for like 10 times before realizing how good it is

  • so nice

  • Coolest band walking the earth right now. And they don't even have to try.

  • Class!!!

  • kele has very good teeth for someone from britain

  • @TheJohnsonsOfficial let me guess, you've actually never been to britain?

  • @THEBLOCTT Mate its just a joke calm down

  • @THEBLOCTT ya chill out dude

  • @THEBLOCTT yeah, chill out lol

  • This is such a stunning song <3

    I think it sounds nicer when Russell is using his guitar that has the stickers/badges all over it. The yellow one.. I think it's a Fender Telecaster.

    Absolutely beautiful either way.

  • Comment removed

  • The reason I like Bloc Party- Their live versions are better than recorded. They are awesome live.

  • ONE OF THE BEST BANDS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!! hate that they split up :(

  • Bloc Party have got too much talent for one band...

    And @i0wn3du

    They're just on hiatus, they'll get back together sometime, soon hopefully = ]

  • Silent Alarm is still the best. but this sounds so good live.. i hated how kele's voice was changed to a whinier sound for the recordings on the 2 newer albums

  • When he plays that glok part at the end, now thats pressure! :)

  • Where has this band been ALL MY LIFE?!!!!

  • It is quite possible that this will be my favourite Bloc Party song of all time.

  • reminds me of my mom, she commit suicide :'(

    and now i really miss her

  • so sorry :(

  • I love that DECEPTICON shirt...

  • This song is soooo good.

  • anybody know how you can get this onto a CD??

  • use video 2 mp3 . net

  • anyone who doesnt like intimacy is a fool

  • i'll drink to that

  • Any ideas of the pedals they use??? The main ones?? Boss delay...equaliser...??

  • are you an idiot! learn some pedal effects and youll be bloody fine

  • probably one of my favourite bloc party songs =)

    kele is such a wonderful singer

  • You never told me you were a vegetarian.

  • fish IS meat.

  • fish dont feel pain though

  • you must be very proud

  • i am, though whats with the down markers? :S i'm just saying im veggitarian?! Russell is so cool!

  • agree with rockafellaton, i used to absolutely love bloc party, seen them 3 times and silent alarm is still one of my favourite albums. second album was still good but when they released flux and since i havent given them much time. Heard this song when they were live on abbey road and it really hit me. Quality song that has got me back into bloc party

  • you are silly for ever losing faith!!!

    they will become bigger than U2 ever wanted to be

  • @broarah I hope not, not because they don't deserve it but U2 getting big has done a very terrible thing to their music. I'm not sure how I can describe what they act and sound like now, but it's total shit.

  • Being faithful to a band doesn't mean believing they'll become big, at all. Like a lot of their new stuff this is NICE but it doesn't capture what Silent Alarm or the strong points of AWITC had.

  • i know most of bloc partys songs and i was thinking to myself im getting sick of these and i seen that they were on live from abbey road last week so i decided to watch it, to c what songs they played, this was there last song, it was the first time i heard it and it completely blew me away, its my favourite bloc party song now, i luv them and this song has got me bac into bloc party

  • BEST SONG!!!!!!!!!!

    I listen to this song everday, it's too good

  • @MrBigmac04

    HEAR ROXANNE LEND HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE TO THE INCREDILBE SONG (SIGNS BLOC PARTY)

    CHECK THE SILVERBACKMAGAZINE CHANNEL

  • does anyone know what tele russell is playing as i really want one in that lush blueburst but cant find it anywhere?

  • The Glockenspiel? Is that what you're reffering to?

    ...I'm getting one off of ebay soon :)

  • no a telecaster is a guitar. the one russell is playing

  • Blargh, I don't know the band members...My mistake! I'm gonna go hide under a rock now.

  • Comment removed

  • thanks for your help . but on the website it only says its in black, white and two colour sunburst so does that mean that this tele is somwhat a custom shop job or did he choose to have the blue? and also the bridge is of more a newer style than on the 50's but he probably changed it. apparently the ashtray bridges are really uncomfortable

  • That guy was completely wrong. It's definitely not the 50s one. It's a custom shop job.

  • yes you're right this is probably a custom made guitar considering the blue burst paint on it and the bridge also is slightly different but since russel is a great guitarplayer he must have had the money for it :D

  • WOW SOOOOOO GOOOOOD!

  • The version of this song that they played at Glastonbury 09 is by far the best. It has a better drum beat. The only thing is the BBC decided to take there videos off Youtube so there incredibly hard to find...

  • This song makes me cry every time.

  • :'(

    Heart wrenching!

  • kick ass. one of bloc partys better songs on intamacy. it feels like silent alarm came back for a brief moment.

  • Blew me away.

    It's such a powerful song.

  • This is a truly beautiful song.

  • AMAZING

  • amazing performance...

    a lovelly and sad song!

    a mix of feelings

  • did someone really die in his life or is this just a metaphor?

  • the guitar in this version is off the wall..

  • Oh man..this song is so amazing....really hits the heart

  • i Love It <3

  • Hmm, I like their sound.

  • agreed

  • How is kele's guitar so bassy?

  • he is using an octave pedal to bring it down an octave thats what makes it sound "bassy"

  • what he does is tune his guitar down and use a bass pedal sort of thing, my mates got one.

  • I see signs now all the time x

  • Gordon's gotten pretty good with the glockenspiel

  • best song from bloc party! If I hear it, I think about my friend, who died last year

  • That's fucking bad. Condolences. I love this song too ^^, but it's not my favourite =P

  • this performance reminds me no surprises of radiohead at jools holland performance in '97 because use the same instrument

  • I read in an interview awhile back with Gordon that he felt the songs on Intimacy were over produced and weren't tested live enough. I'm glad they figured it out.

    Intimacy will be sure to have great live songs and good studio songs as opposed to the opposite. They should release a live album.

  • love this songgggg !

  • it's a fact all bands from UK are innovative and smart....if it is Metal Punk or Indie it is a fact

  • Best Song of new album!

  • cool decepticon t-shirt kele :D

  • love it :]

  • when i hear this song i feel like time and my world just freezes and i become so relaxed/ happy- great song

  • relaxed allright, but happy seems a little weird to me:/

  • even tho its about some1 dying?? lol, i know wot u mean tho

  • isnt this song about kele's brother who died? i know biko is but i think this was was too.

  • 'the last time we slep together'

    I hope not.

  • This is my favorite song. This is one of those songs that of you do not like, then you do not have a soul.

  • Maybe they don't sound like at the studio songs, but I think this makes them special. They have their own style and the things with the bass and xylophone - amazing!

  • I've seen them live now six or seven times, and each time they manage to amaze me.

    And incidentally, this song is possibly perfect.

  • ya know what?

    you're right (Y)

  • I am so so so jealous

  • ye kele's probably got the boss super octaver or something, it's incredible pedal

  • I like that pedal Kele has that makes his guitar sound bass-like.

  • saw them at the olympia on the 12th. they were amazing.

  • goin to see em in bloctober in nottingham :D

  • some people have all the luck

  • same here, however will be in plymouth

    it is going to be rather epic(Y)

  • good song and thought it wudnt be half as good as that live

    BLOC PARTY!!!

  • the transformers t shirt is by french connection or fcuk and you can get it in "envy" or "usc"

  • still couldn't find his transformers shirt, i think the name of the brand is on his sleeve, it says something with "....world"

  • it says westworld, he wore it at the when i saw them in sydney.

  • Hows Kele doing the bass? Octive pedal?

  • problably

  • i think all he did was to turn up the bass on his amp and lower the treble and middle. tt way it has a bass-like sound. i did it once for my band. not sure if it works for you. you can try it tho =)

  • Nah that only gives it a very minor bass effect. Especially since he is playing on the D string, it is probley an octave pedal

  • hmmm, you're probably right..

  • @mattysen he has a bass emulator pedal

  • Where can you get a transformer shirt like this??

  • his yellow one is better.

  • LoL i found it!!Ive been looking for this song everywhere!!!Bad ass song!!!i love it!!

  • Kele absolutley nails this one vocaly! love it

  • His yellow one is way better

  • his yellow one is way better..NO..thats a telecaster jaguar special edtition! u have no clue

  • mate.. His yellow one is fucking sexy. You can suck my balls, he's got stickers on it and everything, like pokemon and stuff. it's just a cooler guitar. I like Kele's tennessee rose. that's a hot guitar. he plays it in Waiting for the 7.18 and This modern love.

  • Bloc party are fucking amazing, there's no words to describe actually how good they are.

  • Bloc party were fucking amazing.

  • wat u talkin bout?

  • were? are is a bit more appropriate

  • They copied Aphex twin's heliosphan. When I say copy no I don't mean influenced, i mean the rhythm, melody and timbre are all identical to Aphex Twin

  • Hmm, it's hard to say that they flat out copied the song you mentioned. I see some very light resemblance but nothing major.

  • And Interpol!!!

  • does anybody know where i can buy this shirt?

    it doesn't seem like one that i can get easily on the internet

  • i freaking love this song!

  • this song is amazing. I love it. Best song from them...

  • bloc party have came through , i think when they made songs like helicopter , hunting for witches , the prayer and banquet was a major kick start for them. they are still a young band so much is coming . this would be one of my favs of their latest album along with mercury , trojan horse , one month off and talons. in my opinion bloc party or kings of leon deserve best band of decade

  • agree completely! good comment.

  • definitely not kings of leon. i think you could find at least a better second choice.

    just my opinion though, no one is wrong.

    I would agree with bloc party! there are so many bands to choose from!
