Fun fact: Van always tries to keep song titles to only one word so that when they perform live, they can write the set list down on a single post-it note.
I first heard this on Tuesday 3rd November 2015- night 1 of 2 at the Manchester Apollo. I instantly loved it and am so happy a clear recording has now been released that captures Van's mesmerising voice and the overall greatness of the song so well... Simply beaut. What angels. SOOOO excited for The Ride and Castlefield Bowls!
When I first saw this , a couple days after it came out I fell in love and learned 7 on guitar in under an hour by watching it on repeat, one of the best songs ever written by catfish and acoustic version makes me feel so much ahh!!
This is honestly the best new release I've heard for at least - AT LEAST 5 years. I was beginning to think that music was dead. Kudos, Catfish and the Bottlemen.
+ann1electro There's a difference between a fan girl and just a girl that likes the music, fangirls are weird and say shit like the original comment and mostly obsess over singers rather than their music
Im already excited for the ride. But this song pushed me over the edge. It was as if vann and my ex wrote this song together, put it right in front of me. its too beautiful to be mad at him. Thanks vann for helping me understand. May 27th. ❤️
"7" Larry call a load of smoke in I wanna lose a couple days We've probably never struggled coping but I never want to Promise again that I would call her Forget the time because I'm 7 hours behind It's probably good I didn't call though but I always want to I'd beg you but you know I'm never home I'd love you but I need another year alone I've tried to ignore it every time you phone But I never come close I don't think through things, I never get time cause I don't think things through Larry call a load of smoke in I wanna disappear for days We've probably never struggled sleeping but I never want to Promise again that I would call her Forget the time because I'm 7 hours behind It's probably good I didn't call though but I always want to I'd beg you but you know I'm never home I'd love you but I need another year alone I've tried to ignore it every time you phone But I never come close I don't think through things, I never get time cause I don't think things through [x2] I'd beg you but you know I'm never home I'd love you but I need another year alone I've tried to ignore it every time you phone But I never come close [x2]
Yes Van is literally an angel sent from heaven and his little lyric changes are glorious, but Bondy is literally ruining my life with his insane guitar skills. Bloody legends.
"and I'd love you but I need another year alone"
such a quality lyric
yes!!!!!!!
Auch hier? :D
+R4yzZley :D türlich
Just is my mindset though and it’s really annoying
That guitar Bondy is using is producing some of the greatest sounds I think my ears have ever heard
Mate literally....
I like how CATB fans are all the same, we feel the same, we understand Van and his lyrics
this song makes me think of all the lost opportunities to love someone
This comment needs to be right up top with thousands of replies. Perfect 👏.
this is legitimately my favorite version of the song; so much raw emotion and passion.
I agree it's my favourite version of this song live.
Such pure emotional and excellent guitar symphony 🎶
The feels that you get from the guitar and Van's voice are .... Indescribable
3:00 - 3:02 yes van you lid.
I'm not crying you're crying
No yeah I'm crying
call me lena I
Its because hes sooooooooooo adorable
his voice, his eyes, the way he plays the guitar, his smile, his laugh, his hair, oh god
3:00 made me want to go and cry in a corner
+Erin Ynyr this song gives me the chills and makes me want to cry so much because of my love for it
Potential to become one of my all time favourite songs
Check out my article on the announcement of the ride! - sampascoetraineejournalist.wordpress.com/2016/03/26/catfish-announce-new-album-the-ride/
I genuinely never get emotional over songs but this is THE. SHIT.
HOW CAN 2 PEOPLE BE SO PERFECT OMG IM SO EXCITED FOR APRIL
So happy we have an real version!
This song just hit me right in the feels
Bondy. The sweetest thing in the world.
I literally cannot wait another day, i need the album nowww!
The passion in his voice at 3:00 is why I've followed this band for the last 6 years.
This is so much better than soundcheck.
yeah I reckon
play this at my funeral thnkz x

+Kennice Leisk it's probably gonna be the single of the album, like kathleen was for the balcony
Finn Morran well, okay, but, it was the most popular song on the album

No chance 😂

+phanic The real song is on Spotify! I think it's great :)
+Reptile Man i know i heard it, idk which i prefer but you know both are amazing! Van can do no wrong
definitely one of their best performances.

Pacifier is my jam
pacifier is my favourite song like fuckkk its so good or bite down salvador
When I first saw this , a couple days after it came out I fell in love and learned 7 on guitar in under an hour by watching it on repeat, one of the best songs ever written by catfish and acoustic version makes me feel so much ahh!!
The lyrics are out of this world.
He has an AMAZING VOICE!!!!
I am in love with this son mesmeric,melodic and just beautiful
im so excited for their 2nd album
This video is beautifully, with the camera angles and the music and Van and Bondy look so soulful. Props to the camera man 👌🏻
I can't count up to how many times I've watched this I swear
The songwriting is immense in this song, can't wait for album 2!
Those two guitar solos are what I live for man
I LOVE IT. I can't wait for the next album
Tonight just finished watching them live here in LA! Freaking brilliant
this is the best acoustic version of 7
I'm honestly crying this is beautiful. I can't wait for the album wow
THE NEW ALBUM IS GOING TO BE BANGING I CANT WAIT
Anybody seeing them over the next 2 weeks?? Thank fuck I am and lads bring the album forward I can't wait 2 months
they are writing the best songs and tunes y any band , bar none at the moment, top class songwriting.
My heart... My life... This is everything.
such an amazing song live 💜
can't wait to hear the studio version
This is what I listen to to chill out, love the acoustic versions on here more than the album version too. Love these boys regardless though.
This is a beautiful song
My two favorite bands ever Thin Lizzy & Catfish and the bottlemen they speak volumes me and sound fucking great, cheers lads, love and peace
This is honestly the best new release I've heard for at least - AT LEAST 5 years. I was beginning to think that music was dead. Kudos, Catfish and the Bottlemen.
sings out our minds and into our hearts
Mfw this version is better than the one on the album
Truee, it was amazing live also
very true
Exactly 👌
I've been thinking that, I was kinda disappointed at the album version
Anyone else feels like from 2:55 onwards, there should be a little guitar solo before Van sings again? So want that to happen when they play live.
Vanns voice is amazing live!
Soundcheck < 7
+Chris Lai Hands down!!
the second album will be the death for me!
love this acoustic version, the guitar parts are just 👌
I would pay Van to punch me
I would pay Van to kick fan girls like you outta the shows haha
+Aensly Leon HAHAHA
Aensly Leon if you're not a fangirl then why would you like catb
+ann1electro There's a difference between a fan girl and just a girl that likes the music, fangirls are weird and say shit like the original comment and mostly obsess over singers rather than their music
+Jimmy Rustler e x a c t l y
i'm in tears i heard this live last year and didnt even cry this hard
This song is the only thing that got me through the weekend
never had a song relate so closely to my life, makes me want to cry every time i hear it
skype live studio? so will the audio and video cut off all 10 seconds?
Wish these guys still played
Im already excited for the ride. But this song pushed me over the edge. It was as if vann and my ex wrote this song together, put it right in front of me. its too beautiful to be mad at him. Thanks vann for helping me understand. May 27th. ❤️
+Aspen Aragon ik youre repeating this vid rn
❤️ So happy I saw these lads! Love this song so much😍
this song being released on spotify made my day. extremely excited for lollapalooza in berlin now!
Seeing them in Atlanta October 26!!!
just......amazing....I need to go see these guys♥♥♥♥
Vans Guitar sounds wonderful!
His little head shake at the pre chorus is so adorable and sad
Why haven't they put uploaded this song to spotify or the itunes store?!? it's soo good and we need another single besides soundcheck!
It's coming out on the new album
Ik, but most artists usually release more than one single and I thought they'd release this song on spotify or itunes soon
+Mariam “UniCoRN” Owl It's coming out as a single tonight
Really!? Yes!!! I'm so happy
Think I could maybe be half of the viewership of this video. So perfect
this version alone is way better than soundcheck
This is fucking quality. But nothing compares to seeing this live
"7"
Larry call a load of smoke in I wanna lose a couple days
We've probably never struggled coping but I never want to
Promise again that I would call her
Forget the time because I'm 7 hours behind
It's probably good I didn't call though but I always want to
I'd beg you but you know I'm never home
I'd love you but I need another year alone
I've tried to ignore it every time you phone
But I never come close
I don't think through things, I never get time cause I don't think things through
Larry call a load of smoke in I wanna disappear for days
We've probably never struggled sleeping but I never want to
Promise again that I would call her
Forget the time because I'm 7 hours behind
It's probably good I didn't call though but I always want to
I'd beg you but you know I'm never home
I'd love you but I need another year alone
I've tried to ignore it every time you phone
But I never come close
I don't think through things, I never get time cause I don't think things through
[x2]
I'd beg you but you know I'm never home
I'd love you but I need another year alone
I've tried to ignore it every time you phone
But I never come close
[x2]
Sounds like he's saying "I recall a load of smoking" instead of Larry..I could be wrong
+Sam Holmes Nah it's definitely Larry. Vans best mate and guitar tech.
***** nah it's definitely Larry. "I recall a load of smoking, I wanna disappear for days" makes no sense.
+Craig Anderson yeah you're right haha I got the album today and the song book says what you said haha

Yes Van is literally an angel sent from heaven and his little lyric changes are glorious, but Bondy is literally ruining my life with his insane guitar skills. Bloody legends.
