Our beautiful baby daughter was born today, we have called her Nara in honour of our love, we sit with tears of joy in our hearts as we listen to this song together. Thank you Alt J. Love is the warmest colour. ❤️
People who say that money can't buy happiness obviously haven't bought a ticket to Alt-j's concert. The memory of that show never fails to make me smile. It was truly magical.
But wasn't money that brought you happiness. Was the concert and the music itself. Money only made possible to happen. Money for money is nothing, mere symbol of materialism and materialism is nothing.
@@deathcrush6155 Not trying to be a debate lord here but I think there is a bone to pick. First, I agree with the first part of your statement. It was, indeed the concert and the music itself that brought the OP their happiness. Case in point, if the OP had been given the tickets for free, I would venture to say their enjoyment would be roughly the same as were they to have bought the tickets themselves. But what do you mean by materialism is nothing? Also, I don't think money is merely the symbol of materialism. Personally, money is more so the notion that I won't starve on the cold rough park bench tomorrow, and I think that justifies money as a source of happiness.
I don't know guys but I have a feeling that Alt-j is one of the greatest bands of our generation and when nowadays music will be gone their music will remain. That's my humble opinion
Paul Ibbotson me too and for me they're the greatest band at the moment, even if relaxer probably is the worst alt-j album but it's however a great album
Was just today in Nara, Japan. I immediately recalled this song, and listened to it right after I left the famous Nara Shōrō - Bell Tower. Might explain the first few seconds of the song. The deers indeed roam free. And it's beautiful.
I‘m pretty sure this comment section is one of the greatest ones on the entire platform. The peace, unity and respect and the expression of everyones deepest feelings in here gives a place for souls to be truly free and understood.
I know this sounds corny but every time i listen to alt-j i feel that they have grabbed my soul and it is bouncing on top of the music notes and i'm laying down with a slight smile and a tear falling down my face with a blank stare as the music fills my entire being.
My favourite song from This Is All Yours thus far. I say 'thus far' because my favourite Alt-J song changed every month after An Awesome Wave was released.
1.Breezeblocks 2.Nara 3.Fitzpleasure/Matilda -Can't decide!! 4.Every other freckle 5.Tesselate/Hunger of the pine-Again, can't decide Can't even get into top 10 rn.
@@alyxo5838 that's exactly what I was about to ask him. He has no reason to think it's terrible and he also has absolutely no reason to be here giving statements no one asked for lol
The amount of things this song means to me.... Wow! As a gay man, it hits home for real. It has gotten me through so much and I will forever be grateful to Alt-J for this masterpiece. Cannot wait to see them live one day.
I agree. As a gay man who grew up in a very tiny (400 pop.) conservative town, this song means so much to me. I Finally got to see them live a couple months ago. Even with my huge expectations, they didn’t disappoint. I Haven’t found a band that’s gotten me so emotionally invested in their music since Radiohead, when i was a teen. Great stuff. Also, to the people who have been turned off by the meaning of the lyrics, pretty sure that longing to be with someone whom you love and the relief of actually being able to realize said love is a very universal experience. Regardless of gender or orientations. Your letting your own insecurities dictate your perceptions. Stop it. Don’t let it spoil such great music.
1:38 that high pitch tone always catches me so off guard, you could almost be fooled into thinking it's a female vocalist initially. Good god Newman you and your beautiful expansive vocal range. Goddamn gives me chills every time.
What a gorgeous song. All of their songs are so beautiful. I love the affect their music has. And everyone in the comments are getting along so well. It's amazing
Wow so true! Your comment actually reminds me of a music video I edited together for this majestic song. Check it out on my channel if you wanna. Peace!
Aloe Romeo I'm glad we feel the same about this music...for me is so powerful !!! I watched your video. Well done and it works nicely with the music :)
I've rarely seen such a beautiful and poetical song. Maybe that's because I have not read much poetry or good song writers, but the lyrics of this song touches me like no other even though i am not gay. I'm really touched in front of such beauty, their metaphores are just wonderful, it touches me right in the heart, thanks Alt-J.
*"Nara"* Soon I'm gonna marry a man like no other Light the fuse, hallelujah, hallelujah Love, love is the warmest colour Petrol blues, hallelujah, hallelujah Comes, saut dans le vide, my lover In my youth the greatest tide washed up my prize You.

The Shinto religion and local beliefs hold that a deity named Takemikazuchi arrived in the old capital of Nara on a white deer to act as the city's protector, and as a result, the deer of Nara were considered sacred, messengers of the gods. “To be a deer in Nara” (IMO) I believe the person written about in the song is gay in a homophobic society and either wishes or is finally in a place where he is accepted.
I saw them live in july and all I could think of was that they're brilliant musicians making brilliant music. And I realized that what I'm looking for in music is EXCELLENCE and they are a great example
Nara is my all-time favourite song. It was the summer two years ago when I first listened to the song. So much glee and joy coming to my mind. I felt kinda bewildered. Everytime I am listening to the song the pictures of the summer 16 are flying into my mind. One thing confusing me is that you do not really know the greatness of a moment in the present. You learn to appreciate these moments afterwards. I do not know if that is just me and I want to learn to appreciate the moment and, as edgy as it sounds, to live it. only some words flying around in my mind that I had to write down
I've been a fan of these guys for about 2 years. They're a great band with a different sound. It's really refreshing to hear something besides the same old four chords and lyrics. Thank you alt-j.
Such a beautiful song, one of the VERY few I've found capable of bringing tears to the eyes. So glad my best friend showed me this, I'm an instant fan.
I’m constantly trying to get people around me to appreciate this song because it’s a masterpiece and is perfectly crafted but I have like 2 friends and they’re not interested
@@teresamiel01 sure, we'll crack this together, thinking about it the explosion might be a reference to hard drive gold but I'm having no luck yet. There's a thred on the altj subreddit that I'm discussing on
I'm very late. But don't think my luck is lost on me. I feel like I get to experience a feeling now most of the commenters felt almost a decade ago. alt-J is a gift to appreciative ears.
Anyone else here thinks the "I discovered a man like no other man" part not only references the two lovers, but the way born-again christians talk about Jesus? To me, it has a religious connotation, like the song in general.
Honestly, I cannot think of another band that’s just like alt-J. Real artists, real music! In my opinion, it’s better than the music we get nowadays. ❤️
Id love to play piano like you and guitar and sing like you. In my own way though im glad you are all here and hope your thriving and moving forward as best you can
I listen to a ton of audiobooks while I drive so I didn't even realize Alt-J had released another album until I drove my wife's care one day and threw it in. This is amazing. I haven't listened to a ton of music since The Mars Volta broke up so it probably doesn't come as much of a surprise that I like this song so much.

Our baby. Yessss. Lol.

I dont even know you but feel honored. I love my name and when other girls have it too
my daughter's name is Nara too. it's vedic as well.
I hope she's doing well!
" The Player Was Alive !"
that gave me goosebump !
“follow, let him go, let him lead me be” is one of the most beautiful lyrical sequences i’ve ever heard in a song
do you know what he means by that?

This song speaks volumes to me. It's amazing what strangers can do for you.

Totally agree
be sure of that.
Having only discovered alt j in the last few months, I absolutely agree.

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I can’t help but shed a tear when it comes on.
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I know this sounds corny but every time i listen to alt-j i feel that they have grabbed my soul and it is bouncing on top of the music notes and i'm laying down with a slight smile and a tear falling down my face with a blank stare as the music fills my entire being.
It may be cheesy, but lots of people feel the same!☺️
As a tear falls down my own face...
Me as well. I don't feel complete if I haven't listened to at least a couple of their songs everyday
I feel the same way :)
That makes us two but slightly different I would say.. 😊
My favourite song from This Is All Yours thus far. I say 'thus far' because my favourite Alt-J song changed every month after An Awesome Wave was released.
Know exactly what you mean :D I had the same experience.. So far Nara is sitting on top for me too :).. For now
Something Good from AAW was definitely my favourite
TheRealFinnWilliams from AAW my favorite was Dissolve Me. Nara is probably my favorite of the new album though.
1.Breezeblocks
2.Nara
3.Fitzpleasure/Matilda -Can't decide!!
4.Every other freckle
5.Tesselate/Hunger of the pine-Again, can't decide
Can't even get into top 10 rn.
You took something away from every song and the songs have immense replay value. It will take time for this album to sink in.
2:57 just kills me eveytime!!! For the grace of life I acknowledged this band with this song just the day after getting to know the love of my life
I feel like the line "love is the warmest color" is a reference to Blue Is the Warmest Color, which is my favorite movie right now
This is so beautiful it hurts
This is the most stupid song ive ever heard, because of the lyrics.
Brian k. You are a person.

I love that in almost each song theres a sentence in french :)
are they french though ?

This is the best song ever. FACT
alt j is incredible! so far i love every song :D this song is perfection ❤️
