This song is so brilliant. The way that the instrumental really does mock the sea when Harriet is plucking the violin, like a slow tide, or when Rob hits the crash intermittently, like the waves crashing on the shore... From the lyrics to the music, it's just so beautiful.
I still love this song & band. It was really amazing to see all the performer’s faces thru this song. Like they all are feeling what I’m feeling probably
There's a few things I want in this world and one of those things is a tour with Motion City Soundtrack, Say Anything, and Los Campesinos together. Also, self esteem.
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip I said, you've taken the diet too far, you've got to let it slip But she's not eating again, she's not eating again She's not eating again, she's not eating again I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant She was always far too pretty for me To believe in a single word she said, believe a word she said At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic Spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors She said, one day to leave her Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide To drag her to the ocean, to another sea's shore This thing hurts like hell but what did you expect And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry Best known left wrist right finger through all the southern states On every video games machine they call her triple A There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking The chat show host, he joked You have to wait for the government program You talk about your politics And I wonder if you could be one of them But you could never kiss a Tory boy Without wanting to cut off your tongue again A good place to look to the future is When you are sat at the sea With the salt up to your ankles And a view of the end of the pier You may look down at your model's feet And wish that you'd just float away And the weather here is overcast And the sea is the same shade of gray So the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world But to the left side and the right side Either way is a crazy golf course The sea is a good place to think of the future And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry A thousand years no getting rid of me A thousand years in perfect symmetry
Theres a few emo bands that do the post rock/indie thing like the appleseed cast and The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die for instance.
I'm so glad gareth sings the "the sea is a good place (a good place) to think of (to think about) the future" the same way I do.
This is the greatest song ever written.
I usually hate blanket statements but this one might very well be true

you can see the emotion on his face when he sings this song... it hurts him so much when he goes "but what did you expect?!"
Wow it’s been 10 years and this song is still everything. LC 4 Life!
The female backup vocals bring the incredible harmony to this song.
Great to have this is such great quality
i just found this song less then a week ago and i fucking love it so much
I still love this song & band.

Absolutely love this band, great to see them on KEXP
This song is beautifully haunting
Because those three bands make music that I really like and I feel like I would enjoy seeing all of them on the same night.
man had to think about that for a year
@@kreuzaug1143is been about a year got a clue yet?
i love them so much
love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow watching this now and i got jumpscared by 14 years younger gareth at the beginning, he really looks different lol
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said, you've taken the diet too far, you've got to let it slip
But she's not eating again, she's not eating again
She's not eating again, she's not eating again
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant
She was always far too pretty for me
To believe in a single word she said, believe a word she said
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation
From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic
Spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions
In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors
She said, one day to leave her
Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
To drag her to the ocean, to another sea's shore
This thing hurts like hell but what did you expect
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
Best known left wrist right finger through all the southern states
On every video games machine they call her triple A
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking
The chat show host, he joked
You have to wait for the government program
You talk about your politics
And I wonder if you could be one of them
But you could never kiss a Tory boy
Without wanting to cut off your tongue again
A good place to look to the future is
When you are sat at the sea
With the salt up to your ankles
And a view of the end of the pier
You may look down at your model's feet
And wish that you'd just float away
And the weather here is overcast
And the sea is the same shade of gray
So the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world
But to the left side and the right side
Either way is a crazy golf course
The sea is a good place to think of the future
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
A thousand years no getting rid of me
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
sigh, i love emily... and kim does a good job really. they are INSANE live. so good.

Triple AAA has issues with your voice but in a good way. Lots of luh
This f%#*ing weird! I like it!
How do I learn this on the violin, I can’t find the sheet music anywhere:(
u could learn it by ear!! listening with headphones can probably help u hear the violin separate from the other instruments
This song hurts me very much I don't like it
wut
@OxOtacos I miss the days when they had Aleks as the female singer who actually sang well. Then she left...
