Cherry Ghost - "Mathematics"

[RachLpollard]

Saw them last night! :) <3

[Aethereal09]

Love this song so much.

It gives me a bittersweet feeling to listen to it, it is unexplainable unlike mathematics ;)

[hitchinfolk]

Lovely song. Just come across these guys. If you like them you may also like The Jayhawks. Another band who do beautiful songs. Check them out.

[Scaiitz]

The guitarist covered my music class today :')

[sbward1975]

[shangrigreige]

[fossy38]

[trimmytrab]

[alanc5211]

EXCEPTIONAL!

[Jolie028]

very nice!

[morgman43]

Great to see clips of a time when the Royal Air Force was still valued by its government and country and possibly the most beautiful song of the last few years.

[cinthiaczz]

LOVE this

[uslive]

Beaut song, and saw it live in Exeter last night with ma guyl by ma side.Cheers Simon. Oh what joy

[ady10001]

What are the planes on this video? I think there is a Hunter and a Canberra? but definitley 2 or 3 more?

[chatterbox904]

Another great musician that is not recognised for the talent that is his.

[agwata5]

Providence has landed this gem in my path! Oh how long I have seeked thee TUNE! I am basking in glory maximus! I am baaaaaaasking! bayyyybe!

[SirDaniel1955]

'Meet me by the fire escape...' is so romantic and real! Genius, Mr Aldred.

[Probro3000]

i love the song but i dont know what it is about

[MultiSuccesscoach]

Wonderful song and video match..is this RAF life in Cyprus in the 1960's. I was 3 at the time and it's like our home movies...my dad used to service the canberra's and victors.

[quaich14]

lovely track from an outstanding album. new album Beneath this Burning Shoreline is very good - "Kissing Strangers" is the new single and it is excellent

[SanitaryGrounds]

3:57 is the worst part :(

[patrickk657]

I have only just discovered this band, thanks to Jonathan Ross, and I think they are great.

[MsFabinou]

love u cherry ghost!!! c'est juste beautiful!!!!

[skagirl42]

amazing song , on my ipod and staying there !

[whoryou1000]

i listen to this song as i walk into the town where i live and it always puts me in a good mood, no matter how shitty things are.....

[jd1801]

the song and video are stunning.

[MizzFunkiiXox]

Cann i just say who cares what the hell wikipedia says, its a real song, but a real band. and thats what its all about, i love it ;)

[karlosgene]

!! love it

[thefutureisahead]

GORGEOUS

[JIPALIG]

I read on wikipedia they got the name from the wilco song theologians, thats actualy why i looked them up. ...Be this true? anyone know?

[jee101]

That song has the lyrics "I'm an ocean...i'm all emotion...i'm a cherry ghost"...so it's possible, yes.

[HipHipForChe]

doubt it, from personal experiance, Wiki is like the cake... (a lie)

[garphik]

I would like listen to this song 20 times in one go! very nostalgic, how do they think of such music...

[TupeloHoney100]

Mindblowing song and a beautiful clip too. Very emotive and imaginative. Stands out a mile from all the shite that clutters the airwaves.

[twochordcool]

@TupeloHoney100 Shite that clutters the airwaves? You should try listening to the radio here in the US - I gave up on it 25 years ago...and it only got worse.

When I want to know what's going on with good music I keep my eyes and ears towards the UK.

[papalazerus22]

@twochordcool keep listening my friend .. it gets better ... we are shit at most stuff ... but us brits can write a song or two ??? x and even with all the shit over the oil spill .. we have to stick together ... because most of the rest of the world hates us !!!

[twochordcool]

@papalazerus22 Well a lot of the rest of the world hates us for pretty good reason. But you guys at least have some tremendous bands pop into existence quite regularly! (We suck in music also!)

[007bondspy]

there must be a major talent shortage out there if they are allowing SHITE like this production time and funds

[MartiW]

Go fuck yourself!

[007bondspy]

i did ....just like your daddy does

[Leotex13]

Yes, it is.

[61islander61]

Is this diff version available on CD somewhere. I know it sounds like a lazy question but I know nothing about this band/bloke.

[61islander61]

This video version is a different version to the cd version tho isn't it?

[MorrisseysMonkey]

One word.....Superb! Where are these lads? they should be super stars the lead sound like the bloke of "elbow" but cherry is ghost is miles better.

[burlz]

I agree miles better than Elbow...

[Leotex13]

This song should be in every topten list of the greatest ballads of all times.

[margrakankin]

love this......

[pontiacgpuk]

Great song & vid. Love the white Julietta, a car i nearly bought in the 60's and have always regretted not doing so!!

[hampden12]

ah get yir vehicle sentimentality ol' yin but keep it yirsel...keep it tae how fantastic the tune is...ah luv ol' people

[pontiacgpuk]

Yes, I agree hampden, this is certainly a beautiful song, gives you a great feeling. Having a crap time at the moment, but this is carrying me through!! Like Supezup I have it almost on auto-replay! Thanks a lot for posting it!!

[huthut91]

[sakuradual]

[ady10001]

I love the video is it the original for the song?

[supezup]

I love Cherry Ghost and this is my favourite song! I keep going back to the begining of the song before it ends so it never finishes...I know a little obsessed but its so beautiful!

[ady10001]

romantic stupid and perfectly understandable

[sylmondboy]

beautiful melody-a wonderful song

[mostyn0707]

I still love this song and i listen to this album all the time and never get bored of it.

[cricketbat08]

Beautiful song!!

[emperor3d]

I love the editing of this video. It's absolutely fantastic. The storyline is great as well -- which may be unobserved at first maybe?

[binser72]

Brilliant video --- anyone know more about it?

[snappo20]

The album is fantastic - go buy it today!

[stipesixtynine]

[manchesterunitedkid]

[TeamKeane]

[TeamKeane]

he he, me toooooo!!!!!

[stokelad4]

A wonderfully constructed song, sung with meaning and feel. Excellent

Nice message behind it too. :)

[ElliEMuRPhYx]

This is a song by the brilliant songwriter Simon Aldred aka cherry ghost.

First single to be releast

[stephenjohnbarry]

Excellent song and great video.

[fabscoto]

Just a random thought...the lead singer's voice reminds me a lot of Dave Matthews...it sounds kind of like Dave singing "The Space Between"...anyways, this song is great, cheers for Cherry Ghost! :-D

[GovtSoldner]

If I didn't have the information right in front of me, at first hearing, I would assume this to be Coldplay... but upon thinking about it, it really does not.

Anyway... very nice, relaxing music.

[amc3]

superb bit of music....excellent....

[stu808]

Love this song...so melodic!!! Great!!

[Macca198788]

Absolutely brilliant song and a top top video.

[Ravenuk]

Something wonderful about this song i love it

[cockayne747]

very very gd song

[funkdrum5]

i dont understand all of the comment bickering. how can you talk like that to this music?

[VColaQueenV]

Beautiful Beautiful song, as are all of Cherry Ghost's!!

[binser72]

Brilliant song and a 'feel good' video.

[mookie2637]

Great video (I'm guessing someone's dad was in the RAF in the 60s). Shame about the song though...

[amc3]

dont think you really understand music...sad really..

[Clarkey79]

Great piece of footage and really fits the song. Strangely moving.

[symphonicdolphin]

fairly dull compared to "people help the people". shame as I loved that song :(

[bebop1992]

its easy to critisise shitunot! >:( lets see you do better! this song is ace!

[shitunot]

a weak song by a weak band..accepted by people you havent the guts to admit to themselves this is shit music

[shitunot]

yes i am - your point is?

[mostyn0707]

this song makes me feel so very happy!!!

Love cherry ghost!

[nicholaasb]

Wowz. Yes, I second the thoughts of the commentator below. How much found footage did the filmmaker have to work through?

[enamresu1000]

all the footage is from one archive...there's a poignant story behind it, which i'm not at liberty to disclose.

[Peeeeekay]

Who do you think you are, Pasolini? It's a video for a bog-standard indie band for fuck's sake

[enamresu1000]

i know the editor is all. please forgive me for my infraction on your righteous nature oh great one. please. i don't think i can live without your approval.

[SpigotP]

song is fine but the cutting of the images is great, amazing use of found footage that seems to have been made for the song it has been crafted to fit so perfectly

[roadworker27]

cool tune and vid, nice one

[loopiewho]

Excellent dude

[Gavreel]

Great band.

[hogie2005]

class

[betterbridles]

Brilliant song, ace video, really like it!!!

[Plexigon]

Bloody good stuff! A cross between Elbow and Field Music - both great bands!

[xzibit044]

amazing song i love this song so much...album is amazing
