  • @606revo According to my dad (who introduced me to Idlewild) it's a reference to to a quote by Gertrude Stein (namechecked in the verse) who was a famous, American, lesbian authoress and who described her girlfriend thus: 'A rose is a rose is a rose'. So presumably 'Roseability' is the 'ability' to be as beautiful (and generic) as a rose, which according to Roddy and co, is no longer enough.

  • used to wonder what Roseability and came to the conclusion they made it up i think im right lol

  • idlewild are still going strong, with 6 good albums and in my opinion not 21 bad song there amazing, my number one band since my childhood...not that im that old to start with. There not super big because they dont cout max selling numbers - thats a bonus to them unlike so many of these crappy 'indie/post rock' bands.... long live Idlewild

  • In a world were bloc party have been signed they should be shitting on them right now. Where the hell is this band? They were well cool.

  • tune!

  • this record should have broken them big in the states...

  • wonderful track!!! awesome

  • so long ago lol great video

  • Great video, great song. Possibly my favorite Idlewild video.
