Delays - You And Me

To the bitter end I have fought alone,
Now this cavalry is coming home,

Like a motorcade lost in tickertape,
I have felt my way to you again,
On any other day thered be a marching band,
But I stole away before they cut me down,

What say we go, meet by the well?
Dont tell a soul, this is our time

And we can lay low tonight; no I dont have the will to fight,
My president or his designs; you & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna be fine

Cos you knew me when I was wide awake,
Now I sleep all day, oh my mistake!

Oh any other day, thered be a marching band,
But I stole away before the curtain fell,

What say we go, meet by the well?
Dont tell a soul, this is our time

Yeah we can lay low tonight; no I dont have the will to fight
My President or his designs; you & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna be fine

In time, inside, here comes the falling rain,
In time, inside, here comes the pouring rain,
In time, inside, here comes the falling rain,
In time, inside, here comes the poison rain,

Yeah we can lay low tonight; no I dont have the will to fight
My President or his denials; you & me coulda been fine,

Oh we can lay low tonight; we can set the flag alight,
Were clawing back the time, when youth was on our side,

You & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna be fine

===========================

In the first seconds of the song he shows us his lovely high-pitched voice, hell thats what I call vocals. Delays are a band impossible to explain or classify. I can say they have electro sounds with guitars and drums and high-pitched vocals but this would not convey their utterly unique style and sound. Their music to me is not like music - each song is an overwhelming feeling and there are so many moments in the songs, particularly the 4 special ones, where you feel like your heart is whooshing up into your head and making you feel utterly amazing. All I can do is recommend you go and listen for yourself, and give them a few listens because it does take a few to get used to them but once you do I have no doubt you'll be as obsessed as I am!

One of the best songs to ever open an album, definitely. Just that smack of drums all of a sudden. Damn. Delays are amazing.

[tryfghj]

i think radio 1 are so up there own fucking arse to ignore quality like this tossers.

[mattjolley]

The two people who hit 'dislike' must be deaf.

[dchefd]

great song!!!!



[barbarossaUK]

Anyone who dislikes this must be a soulless bastard.

@dudepsd Couldn't agree with you more. The vocal sounds shit looped and the synth would of sounding brilliant. And yes! The high pitch vocals somehow don't go down well with people and even other brilliant songs from Delays aren't popular with my friends.

[dudepsd]

Defo should have looped the opening synth instead of that vocal part to start, i try and introduce this song to people and most cringe at the opening to this song , pity coz its class!

@Portisheadify indie :)

[Portisheadify]

[delays1]

It is perfect. 4 svelte Town Criers off their nuts on melody. FUCK RADIO 1 "we`re delays"

@DCCCLoyal no they don't play these guys, it's a shame because they have more talent than about 30 other bands/ artists they play put together
