I was there and this doesn't do it justice. Her voice, live, was piercing, it was so awesome. You don't get the kick of the performance through TH-cam. All the reverb, the effects and the vibe was stellar. Glad they won, they deserved it!
Will never forget when I went to a wolf alice concert and Ellie and Joel went to eat at this fast food place infront of the venue while everyone was in line before the show and we were all just watching in amazement from across the street, only like 2 people went to say hi because we didn't want to bother them but they waved at us and after the show Theo came out to talk with fans and sign our stuff, my point is that they are such a wonderful and creative humble band (also Ellie is fucking badass she threw herself into the crowd at one point) they truly deserve this award
@@judith1564 the cool thing is that there was a bunch of people in line already And this was last year so they were already pretty big and they didn't mind talking to a lot of people, not that they ate food
After show in nashville, ellie and theo stayed out to talk to us. Theo is so outgoing. Ellie was so sweet. It was great meeting the band that changed my life.
God she sounds incredible. Those high chest belts!! Forget those few shaky notes at the beginning. For they no longer exist in my mind. And she looks beautiful. What a great band. Congrats on the win!
Fans of this song: I really recommend you listen to a podcast they did with Song Exploder which explains the making of it. Went through so many iterations, and you get to hear Ellie's vocal demos and the band's experimentations with synths. I loved the song beforehand but now hear it so differently knowing the turns they took.
They are really good at writing beautiful songs in a variety of different styles. The future? Not quite. The future of pop rock radio, for sure. The future of music in general, as in pushing the medium forward, to places as yet unheard, no. I understand that this comment sounds assy, but it’s meant to instill, in you as well as all other readers, a desire to search the deeper realms of modern music. There is a LOT of incredible music being made right now, but very little of it is showing up in award ceremonies, and even less of it shows up on the airwaves. That being said, Wolf Alice is a band that everybody can enjoy, and thats petty rare anymore in it’s own right.
Maybe before the Mercury Prize jury decided on a winner, they should have looked into each nomination playing live. As that is the future of music. While they might sound solid on record, this is only ok. Future of music it is not.
Incredible band, well deserved winners! Their work is a marriage of all the elements of music i love. Very raw and sincere. A band that I'm sure will stand the test of time. Congratulations
Gotdamn can she sing! I can imagine in the beginning the guys being like.. Oh we have this friend that can sing and she shows up and everyone is blown away. She's' immensely talented as is the whole band.
Sorry but sounds much better than the most ungracious performer at the awards whose ego eclipsed any singing. Well done Wolf Alice! Deserved and beautiful.
I listened to WA on a very much needed break away, and now their sound has become the soundtrack to my memories.. Whenever I listen to their music I am taken back to a very special time in my life. Thank you WA
been a proud supporter of these guys for 2 years and this makes me so happy they’re getting the recognition they deserve. 💓💗💖💞 btw they’re amazing live my dad was shook
I love this song and play it over and over It never gets old. If by chance you see this comment please tour Los Angeles if you can. I would pay anything to see a live performance for this song
I’m genuinely so happy for you guys! Two fantastic albums and finally some deserved recognition for your great work. Beating some awesome albums as well. Congrats! I’m so so happy!
Lyrics I see the signs of a lifetime, you 'til I die And I'm swiftly out, Irish goodbye What if it's not meant for me? Love What if it's not meant for me? Love I'd like to get to know you I'd like to take you out We'd go to The Hail Mary And afterwards make out Instead, I'm typing you a message That I know I'll never send Rewriting old excuses Delete the kisses at the end When I see you, the whole world reduces To just that room And then I remember and I'm shy That gossip's eye will look too soon And then I'm trapped, overthinking And yeah, probably self-doubt You tell me to get over it And to take you out But I can't, I'm too scared And here's the night bus, I have to go And the doors are closing, and you were waving And I like you, and I'll never let it show And you won't wait, and maybe I won't mind I work better on my own And now I'm home, a little bit drunk And I ask myself What if it's not meant for me? Love What if it's not meant for me? Love A few days pass since I last saw you And you've taken over my mind I'm retelling jokes you made that made me laugh Pretending that they're mine I wanna tell the whole world about you I think that that's a sign I'm losing self-control and it's you It really is, 1000 times I look at your picture and I smile How awful's that? I'm like a teenage girl I might as well write all over my notebook That you rock my world But you do, you really do You've turned me upside down And that's okay, I'll let it happen 'Cause I like having you around I'm electric, a romantic cliché Yeah, they really are all true When we catch eyes at that stupid party I know exactly what to do I'll take your hand, and we will leave French exits from me and you And now I'm home, a little bit drunk Some things don't change, and I know now Me and you were meant to be In love Me and you were meant to be In love Me and you I see the signs of a lifetime, you 'til I die
I really love this. Love this performance especially. It is kind of beautiful. Like Scarlett Johanson singing karaoke with the pink wig on with Bill Murray in Lost In Translation kind of beautiful.
I've been to 2 shows and if one was to do kirlian photography of the crowd and band it would be one giant tree of life on ecstasy aura:) Just amazing energy when in the presence of this band, pretty rare as I have seen tons of shows over the decades and this is one of those amazing convergences of music and happiness in kaleidoscope view.

Magnificent. They play it often on BBC6, but this is the first time I've really heard it, if you know what I mean. I detect hints of Life Without Buildings in there, my wife says she hears the influence of Bjork.
Answering to myself, now I see why this is the first time I've "really heard it" - having listened to the studio version again, which is most definitely over-produced and crammed full of unnecessary layers and effects, including in the vocals, this more bare-bones version makes the song really shine.
I was there and this doesn't do it justice. Her voice, live, was piercing, it was so awesome. You don't get the kick of the performance through TH-cam. All the reverb, the effects and the vibe was stellar. Glad they won, they deserved it!
@@joseffwilliams7369 it was! Didn't even know who they were, but I got chills
Te adjunto
Julian aw beast I was there too Row B1# Crack amazing. Sound was poor but loved it. Who’s here in 2020 posting for likes one love. Be kind Stay safe
Being there or not doesn't affect it being out of tune or not.
Now I know how much autotune and editing is on this track. sad.
Will never forget when I went to a wolf alice concert and Ellie and Joel went to eat at this fast food place infront of the venue while everyone was in line before the show and we were all just watching in amazement from across the street, only like 2 people went to say hi because we didn't want to bother them but they waved at us and after the show Theo came out to talk with fans and sign our stuff, my point is that they are such a wonderful and creative humble band (also Ellie is fucking badass she threw herself into the crowd at one point) they truly deserve this award
When I saw them Ellie hugged me during the last song and gave me her guitar pick! They're truly such a nice band
Only a matter of time :-)
Wow - and did she actually eat like a REAL PERSON! Amazing....
@@judith1564 the cool thing is that there was a bunch of people in line already And this was last year so they were already pretty big and they didn't mind talking to a lot of people, not that they ate food

thanx

Thank you sir!
FRANCES HA BOIIIII
Good lord she is gorgeous..pulled it back beautifully after sketchy opening verse- that takes she-balls!
Absolutely brilliant. Ellie has so much power in her voice that it reminds me of Dolores O’Riordan. Powerhouse with an amazing band to back her up.
Shades of Bjork in this song.
She is my cousin, we are so proud of her here in Ireland xxx
Proof that this band are the future, guarenteed.
They are really good at writing beautiful songs in a variety of different styles. The future? Not quite.
The future of pop rock radio, for sure. The future of music in general, as in pushing the medium forward, to places as yet unheard, no.

Their performance was pretty shit on TV, I've seen them live at a festival and they're incredible
amazing..love it.. i had similar feel when i heard of belle and sebastian..this kind of music brings me back, way way back there..
Sound8Vision pop rock radio? bullshit. No one said that in 2013 when almost nobody knew about them
Stop saying she wasn't good.... She was incredible
A dramatic rendition of a cinematic song by Wolf Alice. This band is amazing.
Ellie is so gorgeous. And she sings like an angel. Congratulations Wolf Alice!
There were a lot of shaky moments for sure... but she just smiled through it and moved on. That's a professional. Love it!!!
Samantha String lol. the fuck cares. feel it. all that matters.
Yeah, beautiful song well done for sure with beautiful voice. Non threatening beauty for singer and band. No need to micro dissect. :-).
She's not using auto tune. She's legit. 🔥
Well they were all very emotional after winning the award so I think they can be forgiven
ok do better and write a better song than ellie i dare you
her voice pierces your soul, and you remember everything
The BEST Female Singer in Rock and Roll today
What about Florence Welch?
Florence Welch?
Joff Oddie is a fucking genius, innovative guitar and quite literally playing two instruments at the same time
Wow, her voice sends shivers down your spine!!
Incredible band, well deserved winners! Their work is a marriage of all the elements of music i love. Very raw and sincere. A band that I'm sure will stand the test of time. Congratulations
Agree!
I love the band's sound, so raw and full of coming of age angst and confusion that only a band on the cusp of success / fame can deliver!
Gotdamn can she sing! I can imagine in the beginning the guys being like.. Oh we have this friend that can sing and she shows up and everyone is blown away. She's' immensely talented as is the whole band.
Omg. This is stunning. Automatically be my favourite act this year
she’s got stage presence! wow.
She can sing anything, and she is so beautiful
Best female fronted British band since The Sundays
Agreed
What about the mondays?
I miss the sundays
That's a stretch
London Grammar
they did amzing
What a babe. And the lyrics are simply and eloquently genius :)
OH my, what a performance. The rhythm the ethereal quality of her beat poetry the big big voice. Happy to have just found Wolf Alice.
I don't think I really understood Wolf Alice or this song until I saw this performance
Well deserved award, this song is phenomenal.
mercury prize well deserved!!! LEGENDS! sending congrats from China!
Love you guys, and still vaguely loved country in this year, spread the word x
She is stunning and what a voice.
Congratulations to wolf Alice on a thourghly deserved mercury win ..
Sorry but sounds much better than the most ungracious performer at the awards whose ego eclipsed any singing. Well done Wolf Alice! Deserved and beautiful.
Who was that
Im gonna go ahead and guess Noel Gallagher
Lily Allen
@@alexanderbragg8144 quite right Alexander!
SuperAlmostfan That was my guess too. But hey, “The Chief” is a legend!!
I love how Ellie butchers the first verse then shrugs it off at 0:34 and nails the rest of the song
Pretty harsh. She doesn't 'butcher' it at all, just a bit shaky.
@@TaKyon- by her own brilliant standards I mean
Bearing in mind they`d only just received the award, I think she does exceptionally well. GO GIRL. GREAT TRACK. WELL DONE TO ALL.
them's nerves. hardly surprising.
Adam S She does. But we love her for not being afraid of being her and showing her weaknesses. Peace.
Saw them live just before this, in front of about 400 people in Derby. They nailed every song.
I'm late to the party but I'm already hammered ,this band are summat else
Wish i could turn my headphones up more, this is just amazing
This was my first video of wolf alice and now they are my favorite band
Joff is a genius.
Hell yea he is!
A genius wouldn't have a Palestine flag on his guitar.
@@transamination Ok.
transamination Smarten the hell up. Stop making yourself look like a Zionist asslicker.
@@transamination funny, that made me like him even more.
Yes she can barefoot the shit out of the stage bcs she's the queen
I'm not sure that's the point.
It suits her so much to be barefoot on stage that she'd better do it every time
Very nice version! Sounds really trippy and the acoustics sound really good.
Such a great drummer too just doing what is needed for a great song
Amazing voice, and stylistically kind of a throwback to older sounds, love it! :)
Absolutely amazing! Eillie is a siren. What a voice!
Worthy winners of the mercury prize. Fabulous. X :)M
love the performance
stupidly couldnt stop thinking of debbie harry for some reason lol
It's a bit like rapture in a far fetched way.
Alexander Bell hell yeah! in a very nice far fetched way
Debbie and Ellie two of my favorites.
2:20 has me feeling in way
Dude, yes
Same
Seen this band live twice..........Love them 😦
I listened to WA on a very much needed break away, and now their sound has become the soundtrack to my memories.. Whenever I listen to their music I am taken back to a very special time in my life. Thank you WA
Congrats to Wolf Alice for winning the Mercury prize award ☺☺☺🎸🎸👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
No matter who wins, there will always be people who complain.
Her voice is stunning and real 😍
Awesome! Wolf Alice top of top!
been a proud supporter of these guys for 2 years and this makes me so happy they’re getting the recognition they deserve. 💓💗💖💞 btw they’re amazing live my dad was shook
1:02 gives me goosebumps every time
EXACTLY!
a deleted kiss will be forever missed ~
I love this song and play it over and over It never gets old. If by chance you see this comment please tour Los Angeles if you can. I would pay anything to see a live performance for this song
Just discovering this band. I'm transfixed. There's something else about them.
Energy.
Ellie nailed it. Brilliant
I’m genuinely so happy for you guys! Two fantastic albums and finally some deserved recognition for your great work. Beating some awesome albums as well. Congrats! I’m so so happy!
Congrats, totally deserve it!
And Ellie is so fucking cool and looks amazing ❤
Lyrics
I see the signs of a lifetime, you 'til I die
And I'm swiftly out, Irish goodbye
What if it's not meant for me?
Love
What if it's not meant for me?
Love
I'd like to get to know you
I'd like to take you out
We'd go to The Hail Mary
And afterwards make out
Instead, I'm typing you a message
That I know I'll never send
Rewriting old excuses
Delete the kisses at the end
When I see you, the whole world reduces
To just that room
And then I remember and I'm shy
That gossip's eye will look too soon
And then I'm trapped, overthinking
And yeah, probably self-doubt
You tell me to get over it
And to take you out
But I can't, I'm too scared
And here's the night bus, I have to go
And the doors are closing, and you were waving
And I like you, and I'll never let it show
And you won't wait, and maybe I won't mind
I work better on my own
And now I'm home, a little bit drunk
And I ask myself
What if it's not meant for me?
Love
What if it's not meant for me?
Love
A few days pass since I last saw you
And you've taken over my mind
I'm retelling jokes you made that made me laugh
Pretending that they're mine
I wanna tell the whole world about you
I think that that's a sign
I'm losing self-control and it's you
It really is, 1000 times
I look at your picture and I smile
How awful's that? I'm like a teenage girl
I might as well write all over my notebook
That you rock my world
But you do, you really do
You've turned me upside down
And that's okay, I'll let it happen
'Cause I like having you around
I'm electric, a romantic cliché
Yeah, they really are all true
When we catch eyes at that stupid party
I know exactly what to do
I'll take your hand, and we will leave
French exits from me and you
And now I'm home, a little bit drunk
Some things don't change, and I know now
Me and you were meant to be
In love
Me and you were meant to be
In love
Me and you
I see the signs of a lifetime, you 'til I die
I only listened to a few of their songs, but have come to love their music.
Love this band!!!...and Ellie WOOOW... instant crush!!!
What a stunning voice, along with a stunning women, 👍👍well done👏👏
Her voice is amazing.
Well deserved Mercury award winners, great album! Sky Musings is my favourite track.
Liked Wolf Alice since their 1st songs. Deserving of everything good to them.
I'm so happy for them and amazing performance as always!!!! All my love from Mexico and I'm looking foward to see them live soon :D
Only Ellie can be on stage bare foot because she is just wonderful no matter what
She looks even much better being like this!
There are literally hundreds of artists that perform barefoot on stage...wtf are you on about 😂
@@carljenko There’s a difference between performing barefoot and performing barefoot with class. She just has a real aura and charisma
I really love this. Love this performance especially. It is kind of beautiful. Like Scarlett Johanson singing karaoke with the pink wig on with Bill Murray in Lost In Translation kind of beautiful.
Ellie trust us... you nailed it! Wow!!!
Why do people have to be negative about a song, just jog on and listen to the songs that your mother used sing.
Well deserved. So proud of them. So good. So talented ❤❤
Fucking LOVE their recent album they’re the best band in the UK right now fucking brilliant
I've been to 2 shows and if one was to do kirlian photography of the crowd and band it would be one giant tree of life on ecstasy aura:) Just amazing energy when in the presence of this band, pretty rare as I have seen tons of shows over the decades and this is one of those amazing convergences of music and happiness in kaleidoscope view.
Elle all fixed up like a grown-up lady how beautiful👸💝
I seen them for the first time at the mercurys been totally hooked since there above amazing! Music scene needs a band like this at the moment
Una de las canciones más lindas del rock actual, es simplemente mágica.
Great music and great band
One day I'll die watching Ellie look more beautiful as time goes on 😍🖤
I could watch her all day.
The hard work is starting to pay big dividends! Love these guys. So original!
Oh God, Ellie just keeps getting cuter and cuter.
Cute is an understatement!
@@valevictorianxx Sure hot
what a frickin amazing song and performance this is!! Got it on repeat.
2:00 I got goosebumps here😭

They're even better live 😍
Beautiful.

Deserved winner
Beautiful thanks for sharing
what an admirable voice, what an admirable woman, what an admirable band!
Thanks thanks thanks a lot Ellie and friends for your art
NiCe voice.....great performance. 👍 bravo 👏

Your wife is on the money. I thought the same. The chorus is very Bjork.
How butiful
