Not sure why this wasn't a massive hit, save for maybe its length. 'Target' is probably my fave, but this is close, and probably is their best all around track.
Absolute BELTER!!! Heard it live for the first at the Roadmender in Northampton.....just fantastic. I had tears in my eyes 💙. I love you guys and your music. It really resonates with me. It meant so much for me to see you. Keep at it lads. Fantastic
Absolutely genius new tune! Embrace is one of the ultimate finest bands ever and have always delivered grander than most! A triumphant return! Greetings from Carl from Stockholm Sweden - Who has just become a father to his first child born 21:20 (SG 21 & SG 20 anyone?? - A sign, I tell you, all you good good people!) :)
WOW!!! I was fotunate enough to get tickets to the last secret gig in halifax, and was totally blown away by the band live. If that gig and this single are anything to go by, then the album is gonna be bloody awesome. Get sharing folks EMBRACE ARE BACK #GETNO
I have followed Embrace since their first album, i have seen them live about 7 time's. This is their first material in 8 years. I have just listened to it and i am impressed with the new sound. great video. Welcome back guys
"When all of your friends are my enemies, wishing that god wasn't running away and my only defence is the worst of me out in the open for all to survey"..... Welcome back Embrace, electronic or not can't deny the lyrics!
Great come back song from a band I've followed from the very beginning. It's a shame danny's voice doesn't hold up live. The last two times I've seen them by song 4 his voice has gone. Shame coz their an amazing band. Embrace and James are my fav brit bands.
So happy today with great new song from Embrace, welcome back to one of my favourite bands its been too long. Now for a date in London to see you boys bring it on.
............"not even adults, should go back if a firework has not gone off" It just has! 8 yrs smouldering - A big welcome back to this great West Yorkshire band Just listen to 'Refugees'.....Better than ever RH
I love Embrace and this song. Danny McNamara's voice is incomparable and the music is captivating. I loved their album Gravity so much. They deserve success of grand magnitude. Well done.
Welcome back Embrace!!... Luv this track. Was at ure gig at Fat Sams, Dundee. Amazing gig!!... Had a sore throat the nxt day wi all the chanting along. Already gt ma tix 4 ure Glasgow gig n May. Love n hugs Danny y x :)
Loving the effect on the vocals in the verse. Gives it a really alien feel, like the alienation you get when you go out for a night on the town and you feel really isolated
Always been a HUGE Embrace fan. This could well be my favourite song and that includes the early days. Been a fan since the start. It's such a good song.
It's such a comfort to know these guys are still around, still producing earth-shattering Indie and still stirring the soul! 2014 just got a whole lot better!
The snow on the screen we're going light speed tonight Like Bonnie & Clyde except we don't die tonight And the blister packs coats and crumpled up notes appear It's a break from the swill, the piss they distill around, here A break from the swill, the piss they distill around, here Lift off of this Metropolis When this town comes down, I wish I wish My first degree emergency Is kettled by your cavalry, I wish I wish The cash machine queens when ambulance teams arrive In their skeletal jeans they take Refugees for wives When their collars get felt their glorified belts won't keep 'em warm and we'll run up the strand, your wrist in my hand we know we're born Yeah I know, I'm born Yeah I know, I'm born Lift off of this Metropolis When this town comes down, I wish I wish My first degree emergency Is kettled by your cavalry, I wish I wish And when all of your friends are my enemies wishing me gone as I'm running away And my only defence is the worst of me Out in the open for all to survey When you settle for less than I promised you Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped If it seems like it's harder to say to you It's cause some things are just harder to say Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh Lift off of this Metropolis When this town comes down, I wish I wish
Having followed them from the start, funnily enough ;), they're still so perfect though. Rick and Danny are both such strong singers, and I think everyone should share this loads and get a hype about the album and tour because this return will be awesome. Embrace welcome back, well done XD
As a writer and home bird ;) this is about as exciting as it gets! The re-emergence of such incredible talent, with a volcano of a song, is what dreams are made of. So chuffed to see these guys back! Is it April yet?!

How people can listen to this song and say Embrace aren't as good as they used to be is beyond me, classic.
Maybe they're getting the original Embrace confused with this one.
So who is the other Embrace? I hear they were in the 80’s but I can’t find anything 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure why this wasn't a massive hit, save for maybe its length. 'Target' is probably my fave, but this is close, and probably is their best all around track.
Yeah it's one of their best songs I want more music from them though
Absolute BELTER!!! Heard it live for the first at the Roadmender in Northampton.....just fantastic. I had tears in my eyes 💙. I love you guys and your music. It really resonates with me. It meant so much for me to see you. Keep at it lads. Fantastic
Embrace ! You need to play the piece hall ❤️ it would go off with a bang
Awsome song and even better live! Unbelievable sound and vocals!!!!
Absolutely breath taking. A band and sound reborn.
Welcome back to my favourites.......ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!!!!!!!. Sounds good on first listening. Will be at Dundee show.
Absolutely genius new tune! Embrace is one of the ultimate finest bands ever and have always delivered grander than most! A triumphant return!

The rebirth of a mighty band,
Open highways.... Volume up!! Driving fast in the dusk... Great work Embrace!!

I love all of their albums and I have them all and are the only band that I can listen too everyday of the year for over ten years.
If I could like this comment, I would.
these are amazing dude so go and listen all year as it will do you no harm.
They filmed refugees right next to my house. Loved them ever since I was young. Underrated band yet so technically gifted and catchy songs.
Song of the decade! (Though admittedly the full album was just okay, in turn, their whole canon is brilliant.)
Can't wait to FINALLY see them in NYC!
This song makes the hairs on tge back of my neck stand up....woq goosebumps. The video intensifies the feeling!! Wow loving it
one of the best compositions ever.
and WOW, what an album. thank you guys!!! GENIUS MASTERPIECE!
Wow, I forgot how good this song is. I like this band a lot, especially their last album and the classic "Out of Nothing".
Great return ! Same great feeling but with a brand new edge... superb !
Being away for 8 years has done them no harm at all! 5 star performance in Dundee last week!
Great come back song from a band I've followed from the very beginning. It's a shame danny's voice doesn't hold up live. The last two times I've seen them by song 4 his voice has gone. Shame coz their an amazing band. Embrace and James are my fav brit bands.

I love Embrace and this song. Danny McNamara's voice is incomparable and the music is captivating. I loved their album Gravity so much. They deserve success of grand magnitude. Well done.
This track has Richard singing.

I have been reminded by what it is like to be excited about music again. THANK YOU!!!!
What a song... Goosebumps...
So many people are missing out on great track. Perfect
Loving the effect on the vocals in the verse. Gives it a really alien feel, like the alienation you get when you go out for a night on the town and you feel really isolated
Fantastic!!! Well worth the wait!
Just discovering this band now. Sounds really awesome!
1998 fireworks album the good will out
This is a bloody marvellous return to form.

Love this! Hope it gets the play it deserves.
Used to listen to these all the time 'back in the day', 8 year wait was well worth it!
A big WELCOME BACK from Hungary too!
Always been a HUGE Embrace fan. This could well be my favourite song and that includes the early days. Been a fan since the start. It's such a good song.
Don't know why more people don't get onto this band, their loss I suppose, quality Brit band
incredible song... definately a different feel... richards voice is great... danny at the end... great tune
What a great way to start 2014.... Welcome back Embrace..... you have been missed :)
Brilliant tune,looking forward to a mad night at Glasgow barralands.
It's such a comfort to know these guys are still around, still producing earth-shattering Indie and still stirring the soul! 2014 just got a whole lot better!
Great vocals Richard McNamara!!

I've a good feelin' about this ....... Looking forward to more of this..... Maybe a Dublin appearance lads?

Love the number plate!! Sg20 inv!!
The snow on the screen
we're going light speed tonight
Like Bonnie & Clyde
except we don't die tonight
And the blister packs coats
and crumpled up notes appear
It's a break from the swill,
the piss they distill around, here
A break from the swill,
the piss they distill around, here
Lift off of this
Metropolis
When this town
comes down,
I wish I wish
My first degree emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry,
I wish I wish
The cash machine queens
when ambulance teams arrive
In their skeletal jeans
they take Refugees for wives
When their collars get
felt their glorified belts
won't keep 'em warm
and we'll run up the strand,
your wrist in my hand
we know we're born
Yeah I know, I'm born
Yeah I know, I'm born
Lift off of this
Metropolis
When this town
comes down,
I wish I wish
My first degree emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry,
I wish I wish
And when all of your
friends are my enemies
wishing me gone
as I'm running away
And my only defence
is the worst of me
Out in the open
for all to survey
When you settle for less
than I promised you
Knowing that all of
our barrels are scraped
If it seems like it's harder
to say to you
It's cause some things
are just harder to say
Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh
Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh
Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh
Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh
Ooh Ooh oooh ohhh
Lift off of this
Metropolis
When this town
comes down,
I wish I wish
was never a fan of these guys before but this is an exceptional song

Absolutely amazing, well done guys, all the best from Chile!
Back with a bang. Well done Boys
I absolutely LOVE this song. What a comeback.
Having followed them from the start, funnily enough ;), they're still so perfect though. Rick and Danny are both such strong singers, and I think everyone should share this loads and get a hype about the album and tour because this return will be awesome. Embrace welcome back, well done XD
As a writer and home bird ;) this is about as exciting as it gets! The re-emergence of such incredible talent, with a volcano of a song, is what dreams are made of. So chuffed to see these guys back! Is it April yet?!
