Mogwai - Helps Both Ways

[Elanzer]

I just kinda melt into my chair to this while high

[barbergirll]

like the football in the background always have its soothing. I can go to sleep peacful at night or the day to this album.

[BruisedEyeSockets]

Mogwai>>>>>>>>>>Explosions.

[yearth]

hey people, thank you all for the comments, who likes good music, enjoy this beautiful melodic song...

and @BadButNotSad , the drums really sound so good! deep, i'd say...

[IulovemeI]

this song can be interpreted in many depressing ways

[francosproductions]

would love to see a live of this song :D

[BadButNotSad]

The drums sound so good *_*

, even if it's YouTube quality.

Wonder if this album got victim of the loudness war, hmm...

[bigshleigh]

Such a beautifully nostalgic song

[internisus]

This track was enormously influential on the way I formed my own music on guitar. Just beautiful.

@jodude711: I have always imagined something similar, perhaps a montage of years passing, but less clearly a bad situation than what you described. Certainly a portrait of a family, though.

[thelivingend127]

post rock.

[watashiwanachodes]

my fave track on this record along with cody

[4thwonder]

i didn't know scottish people watch football

[jodude711]

i feel like the radio football game in the background is supposed to be like the son in the dark hallway listening to the game as his dad sits and drinks beer on the couch and throws his life away and the kid just wants a dad to love him, but thats just my input on it, great song, found this banned on pandora when i was listening to explosions in the sky

[watashiwanachodes]

@jodude711 ha MOGWAI is the band that EITS wants to be

im not mean: EITS is a great band but this is better and they really are influenced by them

and arab strap is the band that mogwai always wanted to be so.. u should listen more mogwai and arab strap if you like EITS

[christlicker]

@jodude711 Overshare.

[rockinginsanity7]

@jodude711 banned? why was it banned?

[Marcusbpt49]

@rockinginsanity7 I'm sure he meant band

[jemimallah]

@jodude711 yes, because a) a father watching football = a father neglecting his children, b) drinking beer and watching football = throwing your life away, c) feeling morose or sombre = a deficiency in feeling "loved", and d) feeling morose or sombre = not throwing your life away. because of all those things, all of which are completely true

there's a reason mogwai songs dont have lyrics honey, you just havent thought of it yet

[PAPALO74]

This is like Team Sleep and Smashing Pumpkins had a one night stand and this is their bastard jam-session love child. Beautiful.

[yearth]

Wow, what a great history you created. I almost saw Billy Corgan and Chino Moreno in a dark stage in some night club in some town around there, spreading this melancolic sound all around the night.

Yeah, your theory makes sense! Heheh

[sierrahbear117]

@PAPALO74

Nothing has ever seemed more correct then this statement.

[Vertsk8er419]

builds such a thick atmosphere

[chumbscrubber42]

sounds like someones watching football

[FatBlackFrancis]

@chumbscrubber42 Nah, it's not football they're listening to, it's that American shite with the helmets and the rugby ball.

[christlicker]

@FatBlackFrancis UR mum sez hi.

[666convulsions666]

@FatBlackFrancis hahaahah im sorry i had to say something xD

LOL im from canada and football is the helmet shit too but wtv...this was really pointless...

[isolatedoddball]

A nicely melancholic track off a nicely melancholic album.

[gnarz2003]

this is so brilliant

[goooony]

genius track

[ayex86]

one of the best, just thinking to up it ... gj dude.

[cooldood581]

this is is the worst song i have ever heard

[scottpastry]

finally...

some more songs being posted from one of the best start-to-finish albums of all time.

:)

[yearth]

@scottpastry finally? well, yeah, i`m glad to see more songs of `cmon die young` being posted too. and its even better to see that they liked the style of the video (the song + the album cover) and are posting by the same way.
