bloc party = life. literally. this song is just so, RIGHT in every way. the context, the lyrics the melody. the performance just makes it that much better. thanks for another one kele.
One of the most beautiful songs to come out in the last 5 years...in the mainstream scene, underground scnene...all around scene...this is a picasso! a masterpiece!!!!
i could not agree more with the person below me. thank you for putting all of our feelings to words. concerned mothers of the west teach your sons how to truly love. oh, the genius of kele okereke
This song really does sum up so much in just a few, beuatiful cords and lines. Love it. "Anxious mothers of the west Teach your sons how to truly love" how very true..
I love bloc with all my soul Beautiful song Beautiful Lyrics It's pretty damn beautiful really "Teach your sons how to truly love" Oh if the world listened to Kele Okereke the world would be a better place
i will tell u why they r so wonderful, it's because they have awesome lyrics that come straight from their heart/experiences making everyone in the world the ability to relatye to their music AND their guitar riffs set the mood for whaever the song is about :) GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY.
i grew up in Berlin, kreuzberg...is the best place in the world...no wonder that bloc party moved to berlin ; )...if u want to find some out about the place, u just have to google it!!!
does anyone know if there is a dvd for this concert? they have every song on youtube but the dvd from this tour only has a few of the songs. would love to have all these songs on one dvd!
amazing lyrics at the end ! they are poetic and like meaningful but i dont get why he says teach our sons how to truly love and not daughters . bloody brill kele !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :L
This Is a hard song to play live, kele's voice didnt sound the same..like he was strained from singing alot that night...but beautiful none the less...BP
i think it's more about a relationship that didn't go the way he (kele) wanted it to so now he's sleeping with meaningless people and every time he tricks himself into believing he (kele) actually has feelings for this person when in reality he doesn't which is why there is a "bitter taste" and why he has been "fooled again". so he realizes this and decides it's not what he wants to change his ways and continue his search for true love ("the search continues").
la musica è emozione oltre che tecnica....forse lui non avrò una voce tecnicamente bellissima ma canta in maniera coinvolgente e che emoziona il pubblico, che alla fine è quello che conta.....a me sinceramente quelli che sono tutto virtuosismo vocale e magari zero personalità mi danno un po noia
i like the part when he says "what is this love" in his british accent. ugh i wish i was black n had an accent like that.. well i am black and not ashamed of my color i just love british accents!! (and yes i do love rock music :D)

I write this quote in every new journal or sketchbook I get.... means everything
i`m german and i thank bloc party for this incredible song , one of the top 3 songs they have ever made .
They should make a DVD of this gig! When Bloc Party were majestic and innovative.

I couldn't of said anything better! You took the words right out of my mouth! =] Bravo!
I love it when he says "I..." with such emotion, and pulls the guitar down when he strikes the chord. Just looks and sounds amazing.
Still so good.
i will tell u why they r so wonderful, it's because they have awesome lyrics that come straight from their heart/experiences making everyone in the world the ability to relatye to their music AND their guitar riffs set the mood for whaever the song is about :) GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY.
Kele is a great lyricist. 15 years later this song is still hitting all the right notes.

Why are they so wonderful?
Ah I love Bloc Party.

Personally, it wouldn't matter to me how bad their lyrics were...their brilliant music makes up for it.
LONG LIVE MATT TONG!!! THAT GUY IS AMAZING!
I agree thank you for putting up Rhododendron such an amazing song, listen to it everyday im not stalking you i just regonized ur name lol

The second kit was for the song "sunday", when both kits were used at the same time for that song
I love this song !!! :) Good live performance !
Definitely their best tune.
this is my favourite song on the last album
Amazing
great video again matthew
i grew up in Berlin, kreuzberg...is the best place in the world...no wonder that bloc party moved to berlin ; )...if u want to find some out about the place, u just have to google it!!!
@RunkelkrugTheOne in the Ost Bahnhof ! it's a train station in Kreuzberg in front of the Berlin wall
Yes, I love it!
Teach your sons, how to trule love
... So beautiful
What a song
Gordon. I've uploaded the video of Sunday also so you can see them both being used at the same time on there, works pretty well.
this song reminds me of my first crush when i was in 7th grade..
i'll upload this to my multiply..teinkz
i mean a great song!!
a song!! all are good on a weekend in the city but this is my favorite!! but why are there two drumsets??
Lol I'd love to give him a big hug but nothing more :P
sounds so much better than the studio version
On yur own
What a great song this is ... and isn't wonderful life is isn't perfect ... or?
@KidAlphabet - Yes I agree, with this or sunday being the best songs
Concerned mothers of the west,
Teach your sons, how to truly love.
ohh, the beauty of bloc party.
thank you for saying some, most of us (americans) know the significance of the district
@SexxCInc correction, they played the Remix of Blue Light. Nonetheless, Bloc Party is one of the greatest bands EVAH!!!
does anyone know if there is a dvd for this concert? they have every song on youtube but the dvd from this tour only has a few of the songs. would love to have all these songs on one dvd!
amazing lyrics at the end ! they are poetic and like meaningful but i dont get why he says teach our sons how to truly love and not daughters . bloody brill kele !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :L
same here.
yo this song is SO hardcore.
hey carlos...just to let u know...kreuzberg is in the west part of berlin right next to the east part, but its west berlin...greetings
this song is so meaningful.
basically, navhammond described my life.
without bloc, i am kind of just a....mess.
Teach your son how to truly love!
@optimusprime0616 definitely ^.^
haha, i live in kreuzberg.
This Is a hard song to play live, kele's voice didnt sound the same..like he was strained from singing alot that night...but beautiful none the less...BP
concerned mothers of the west, teach your sons, how to truly love.
Only here you find Matt Tong eating hair during backvocals aha
Haste recht hanswurstpeter!
does anyone know what kind of shirt kele is wearing?
oh, and i waved to gordon and he waved back :]
amazing night.
@SexxCInc I know what it is, I just didn't know they played, never been too big on teenage dramas.
:O Cahawks! I thought you were well straight man! Kele's amazing though :-)
kreuzberg's not a city my friend but a district in berlin... berlin is a city in germany :-)
2:27 is the best.....ruleeeezzz song
I don't think that 1 line can define an entire song. This song is more about Kele's past experiences than about dissing Americans.
Totally, check my Kreuzberg cover;)
Tell what you think please
Sofie
@KidAlphabet A Weekend In the City was great but Silent Alarm was better. i think we can agree that Bloc Party is amazing ; D
i think it's more about a relationship that didn't go the way he (kele) wanted it to so now he's sleeping with meaningless people and every time he tricks himself into believing he (kele) actually has feelings for this person when in reality he doesn't which is why there is a "bitter taste" and why he has been "fooled again". so he realizes this and decides it's not what he wants to change his ways and continue his search for true love ("the search continues").
who used the second???
"been fooled again the search continues"
no, i think it's reading 2007..
Ich jedenfalls nicht nur dieses Lied....
@SCISSORSTOKILL oc?
Matt Tong FTMFW.
la musica è emozione oltre che tecnica....forse lui non avrò una voce tecnicamente bellissima ma canta in maniera coinvolgente e che emoziona il pubblico, che alla fine è quello che conta.....a me sinceramente quelli che sono tutto virtuosismo vocale e magari zero personalità mi danno un po noia
Concerned Mothers?
i like the part when he says "what is this love" in his british accent. ugh i wish i was black n had an accent like that.. well i am black and not ashamed of my color i just love british accents!! (and yes i do love rock music :D)
Strappalegno: I totally agree. Great song from the new album, but overall I prefer Silent Alarm
I’ve decided ..
Questa risposta è inesatta quanto superflua, in quanto evidenzia il fatto che tu non conosca il significato del verbo "cantare".
ya... it's a those "really cool kinda" shirts... lol
