The amazing thing about The Joy Formidable's music is that as soon as that guitar kicks in, or those drums or bass kicks in, it grabs you right in the middle of your chest and you're hooked, people who truly love music will understand that feeling when a song touches right in your throat, chest and stomach the feeling is so beautiful. I love this band they're are amazing both in the studio and live, I hope soon to have the experience of seeing them in there element, ROCKING THE FUCK OUT!!!!!
The music is great, her vocals are great, but for me, the thing that just makes this song absolutely beautiful is her enunciation. Every single word is so crisp and perfectly said.
The Joy Formidable is my favorite band of all time. Here we are bending feet In the dark before dreamless sleep Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze Throws you in the dark Happiness, it won't last long And this child behind stores it all The failed man's curse And the cost of nonchalance I thank you sly, watchful gene A plastic life up my sleeve If you've followed this far You've realized nothing Now your world is here Watch it disappear Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me And it all plays out And it always comes around The message fades but the mess prevails You reckless thing leaving you in our hands Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me All we have is this chance called memory (Haunting me) All we have is this chance called memory (Watching me) All we have is this chance called memory (Haunting me) All we have is this chance called memory
Storytime: so I first found out about this band from Late Night with David Letterman. I was working a part-time job at the time minimum wage. I heard that they were going to be at this show not even 2 months from then. I was taking my mom to treatment during that time, and I was helping with the bills. So I didn't have much. Needless to say, it did not stop me from spending my money on tickets for my friend, myself, and for his friends to come with us. This was the first song they played when they showed. This was how the edge Stole Christmas 2011. One of the best memories of my life thus far.
I came here through an author's playlist for one of her characters who I love, and then I realized I had heard this song many years ago and it's a weird scratching nostalgia that I can't still can't place when and where I heard it, if I stumbled on it or someone played it for me, but regardless, it is is there
Heard this song when I was about 15-16, and my life was at a super insecure and dark part. I never felt the emotions I felt, after hearing this chorus.
Best Band of the twenty-teens. I hope they do this for twenty years. Love the feedback which hits the sternum like a gale. The Welsh can sing. And unlike conformist American rock fans, UK music fans like to Dance. Bloody good, lads.
Saw these guys at lollapalooza last summer. Easily the best performance by a new/up-and-coming band I've ever seen. There were maybe 1000 people in the crowd, tops, and we were all floored.
About to see these guys for the second time! Unfortunately the first time I saw them in Baltimore, the crowd was dead. They'll get a much better crowd that they deserve in Auatin City Limits
is it me or isn't this version a little slower than the one on the album ? anywaze, who cares ? it's another great single from the most powerful band since U2 ! I just love them. Keep up the good vibes and the joy keeps on flowing. Formidably.

How does this not have millions of views?! The internet has failed me 😭😭
Especially after some 13+ years.

I am one of those people, and I agree with you entirely!
Nah man, its a great name....Do you not feel the joy when you listen to when of their songs? The joy is formidable man.
The music is great, her vocals are great, but for me, the thing that just makes this song absolutely beautiful is her enunciation. Every single word is so crisp and perfectly said.
The Joy Formidable is my favorite band of all time.
Here we are bending feet
In the dark before dreamless sleep
Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze
Throws you in the dark
Happiness, it won't last long
And this child behind stores it all
The failed man's curse
And the cost of nonchalance
I thank you sly, watchful gene
A plastic life up my sleeve
If you've followed this far
You've realized nothing
Now your world is here
Watch it disappear
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
And it all plays out
And it always comes around
The message fades but the mess prevails
You reckless thing leaving you in our hands
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
All we have is this chance called memory
(Haunting me)
All we have is this chance called memory
(Watching me)
All we have is this chance called memory
(Haunting me)
All we have is this chance called memory

Waterloo Road brought me here, great show 👍
it started with whirring, was on the radio everyday now im hooked on every song.
i'm so obsessed with this band! You need to make music forever. Never stop. Stay in my life. xD
is it just me or are these lyrics easily memorable? i love to sing along! ❤️
Why have I only just discovered this great band?
me too. i had heard of them, but it was only when i saw them on music choice a few weeks ago that i finally heard them!
Because you didn't watch the Secret Circle
Me too...hehe
@@PeniszporkoloVEV0 exactly
Because god is a twat sometimes and plays cruel games
My fave song from the album!
you can tell by her expression she is so deep into this music, shes amazing
When she sings "cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeeeze!" all the hair on my arms and neck stand on end. Incredible song.
This is probably my favorite song off the album.
So much Joy and so intense. ♥
really in love with this band at the moment
I love even those little intros in this and in Whirring
I think this has to be my favorite song from the whole album.
Good ol' rock. No pretensious garbage just pure emotion and heavy sound.
I want to dramatically fall in love with someone as this song plays in the background.
It's on my running mix!
Her voice will get her far in music
This sounds like something strait out of the 90’s, and I think that’s why I like it so much
I am desperately in love with this band.
My awesome taste in music brought me here
how can anyone dislike this, its pure music genius!! real music
love the band and the singer
Best Band of the twenty-teens. I hope they do this for twenty years. Love the feedback which hits the sternum like a gale. The Welsh can sing. And unlike conformist American rock fans, UK music fans like to Dance. Bloody good, lads.

They were incredible last night at Muse!!!!
Saw these guys at lollapalooza last summer. Easily the best performance by a new/up-and-coming band I've ever seen. There were maybe 1000 people in the crowd, tops, and we were all floored.
