White Lies newbie here, belatedly but totally obsessed with their catalog but especially this song. As another poster mentions below, there's a Russian fan-made video for it which is madly professional and captures the message just beautifully. Can't wait for the next time they're able to grace us with their presence in the U.S.
Nice! Love then for many years now and seen them Love in a small venue. Amazing live too. Do you have a link to the Russian fan page made video you mentioned?
Colombiano con 49 años amante a morir del rock de los 80 y 90, pero esta banda es fenomenal como la mayoría de las de aquella época. Me agrada enormemente casi toda la música que hasta el momento nos han brindado y seguro que la tendremos por muchas décadas, Dios quiera que aparezcan otros con ese mismo talante. FELICITACIONES señores integrantes de White Lies...
estas en lo correcto, yo soy una persona de 36 y soy mexicano realmente soy amante de la música y en especial de música tan especial y tan bien hecha como lo es esta banda...
Que bueno Luis que estés de acuerdo conmigo, la verdad es que admiro sobremanera este tipo de agrupaciones como las de aquella época, especialmente con la agrupación TOTO, que me imagino la conoces muy bien porque es y será una de las mejores, por todo el tremendo repertorio y la gran variedad de ritmos en sus excelentes canciones. Salu2 desde Colombia...
Ps yo recién el año pasado descubrí está banda y pffff todas sus canciones son geniales, pero esta.. esta tiene algo que me llena de nostalgia. Yo tengo 25, saludos
Então somos 3 (já não é mau) gosto imenso da musica deles. E espero que aquele "I hope we come back soon" que ele disse no Alive'11 aconteça já no próximo ano :)
Slow I'm gonna settle down slow Down to the hum of electric life and soul Faith In my hand to trade But for the world and the light of a bitter scent And you can get me work But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead Alone I feel alone When I'm living in a building Like a tooth in heaven's throat True It's a beautiful view But you know they're gonna set it on fire When they feel like something new And you can get me work But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel? A pill to break the drone of reverie So bring me to the hand of fate The river or the new arcade So I can wash the empty hour away But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel So bring me to the hand of fate The river or the new arcade And you can get me work But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV 'Cause I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV
"But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel? A pill to break the drone of reverie. So bring me to the hand of fate. The river or the new arcade. So I could wash the empty hour away."
tbh i'm happy with that - i'm not a fan of "Ritual" and apparently they find it their weakest album as well. on the other hand, "Big TV" is an absolute masterpiece and all of their later albums are quite amazing
@@lunajka To be honest I think Big TV and Friends are probably their Weekest albums overall but both have what I consider some of my favourite White Lies songs so....But yeah I think their first two are their best...Really like FIVE and can't stop listening to their new album it's brilliant.
@@TheJamie6666 really? i'd say that apart from "To lose my life" (i feel like it shouldn't even be a part of the competition since the vast majority of WL fans consider it their best work) "Big TV" and "Friends" are my favourite hahah. tbh not sure why but i'm not a huge fan of "Five" but on the other hand, it has "Tokyo" and "Time to give", one of their best songs imo. and yeah "As I try not to fall apart" is awesome (i really appreciate the lyrics tackling mental issues on this one), apart from "Ragworm" i'd say that i enjoy every single song from the album. i went to their concert in may and was a bit gutted that they didn't play "Roll december", the ending would have been amazing live.

66 years old and love these guys...
how does it feels to be 69?
Shame there aren't more video's of this song, it's my favourite.
Alec Henderson there's a really neat fanmade one. It's a film project. So good.

Slow
I'm gonna settle down slow
Down to the hum of electric life and soul
Faith
In my hand to trade
But for the world and the light of a bitter scent
And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead
Alone
I feel alone
When I'm living in a building
Like a tooth in heaven's throat
True
It's a beautiful view
But you know they're gonna set it on fire
When they feel like something new
And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead
But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel?
A pill to break the drone of reverie
So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or the new arcade
So I can wash the empty hour away
But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel
So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or the new arcade
And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
Amazing thing, even the live version :)
What the hell is he singing after: "But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel" ??? at 2:35
"But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel?
A pill to break the drone of reverie.

The river or the new arcade.
So I could wash the empty hour away."

They changed their sound and imagine drastically from the Ritual period...Harry looks completely different.

Omg, when hearing this song I was thinking that it reminds me a bit of Depeche and then I saw this comment...
Jajajajaja best coment ever
He looks a bit like Jon Snow.

Crowd is dead.

Sou mais um... hahaha
Great song, but his teeth look terrible.
So, what is wrong with his teeth? I think his teeth are normal and okay. Such a dumb comment....
