There aren't many bands that write songs as good as this anymore.

I think if you like this song then you would probably like a song that is very similar to this - It is called .... On & On and is by The Fossil Collective.

Oh, and the video is a LOT better ...... PEACE OUT

Roscoe by Midlake.

Faultless harmony singing with a hyper catchy track. The ambiguity and detached nature of the lyrics tell a story that you don't care about but want to listen to and follow through to the end anyhow. It's the wierd attraction of the uneeded that makes this a stunner. The chord structure is nothing new, but it is of the formulas that piques our emotions and is almost addictive. On or around 122-124 bpm.

I love this track, it is as smooth as velvet and eminently listenable

Yep, Ellie is pure shit, airbrushed crap, this however is God like.....

[Alicja bez nazwiska]

This version is so magical and full of emotions. In compare with Ellie's version - Midlake wins!

[Tony Vodden]

wow. well said

Roscoe por Midlake, una canción de tradición y lucha por las raíces. una canción a mi juicio deliciosa que quería compartir con vosotros.

Bonita cancion...

[1trackBrian]

feels good knowing someone else is feeling the exact same way. I am addicted to this song, album and everything else since. For reasons, stated rather eloquently by fans above, I can help but be not only obsessed, but get transfixed into another layer of being when I listen to this song. I am Roscoe. like a devout fanatic I preach Midlake...

[Simão Castro]

I haven't stopped listening to this since it came out, and I probably never will. This is just one of those tracks that haunts my mind everytime I think about it. The album is also one of those collections of songs you never forget. It's one of my favourites, easily.
