    This is the first time, in a long time, a song has made me cry from pure satisfaction. I truly love this band.

    And I won't admit I love you
    And that i will die for you
    And I've waited waited for you
    Here
    Wait in front of you
    Oh my body laid down to yyooouuuurrss
    As I fell for you
    And the world for two, for two
    Here
    Wait to fall with you
    That's how I interpreted it. I find it so amazing that you can listen to this part and come up with many lines and lyrics

      And i would die for you
      And i weigh the day but love tells me way to promise you
      Oh my body laid down lay up
      Am i front for you
      In a world where 2 and 2
      Um keel
      Laid in front of you.

    The first time I heard this song I was in treatment and we did a guided meditation to this song and that was the first time I had felt the emotions I had blocked with the drugs for so long. it was an incredible experience. this song to me today takes me through the battle of recovery and it sinks deep within my soul and heart every time I hear it. I love it

    I can't stop listening Alt-J. But seriously these guys are some of the best I have heard in ages. They are seriously taking over my life. I wake up, start this tune. I got to sleep, I listen to Warm Foothills. And the rest of the songs during the day.
    Alt-J is fucking awesome and this song shows it perfectly.

      I can't stop listening to them, it's as if they haunted me.
      That is called : talent.
      (Plus, they always sing one or two sentences in French, héhé love ya guys!)
      I just hope they come to Paris soon with tickets available :'(

      It took 6 years or so to create An Awsome Wave and just two years for this one so the differences are not surprising. On the other hand, is spite of the first album, the second one is a really good album.

    "and I'll hold your face, I love you
    (I'm) in a hive of life for you
    and I weigh the day but love tells me,
    'way to run again'
    oh the body live down, lay up,
    am I a front for you?
    in a world where two and two keel,
    laid in front of you"
    every time I listen I hear something different, but equally gorgeous

    Intro]
    [Verse 1]
    Heat shimmers
    Hips quiver
    Open smother
    Lipped lover
    [Hook 1]
    Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
    Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
    Soon become Mandela Men
    Razor blades on a melted toothbrush
    Assassin de la police
    [Verse 2]
    Heat shimmers
    Silky glistener
    Open smother
    Lipped lover
    [Hook 2]
    Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
    Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
    Soon become Mandela Men
    Silent knife, unholy knife
    I’ve fallen for the black outside my window
    On the C-O-double-M-O-N
    On the C-O-double-M-O-N
    [Refrain]
    A flood of blood to the heart
    A flood of blood to the heart

    I can't even start to imagine the thought process that went into creating this song, in which these guys bounced around ideas, understood each other, and pieced them into coheseve, otherwordly masterpiece. It's just difficult to process that creative minds like this actually exist.

    • @spun1760
      @spun1760 หลายเดือนก่อน

      i have had these same thoughts. it is unfathomable for me to understand how it comes to be that such precious creativity and talent are united, then combined with their own unique perceptions and experiences to formulate carefully composed auditory expressions, physically delivered through vocal and instrumental execution. what’s more is that their amazing songs are simultaneously amazing stories!
      I’m very thankful that these compatible artistic geniuses were brought together through fate to enhance our lives with these masterpieces.
      when i first heard Alt-J, they rapidly became the most exciting thing in my life that i had recently discovered. first track i heard was breezeblocks and i remember being amazed by how unique joe’s singing voice and style was, and i still am clueless as to who he credits as being influential in his finding and developing of such a unique voice… sorry im rambling on now… i just can’t stop finding reasons to be highly impressed by these guys!

    I'm so glad more and more people are listening to this song and liking it. I was going insane when it first came out, and had no one to share my excitement and love for it. I absolutely this this chilling track. Everything is so gracefully executed and flows so heart wrenchingly beautifully. I love the chords and the horn and the vocal harmonics

    No song could make me sadder than this one nearly three years ago when I was pining over a breakup I didn't want and it would take me to rock bottom and lift me up again. This and Stars by Fun were my crying and wanting to die songs for a while after that until I realized this song is just a fucking master piece and now I'm going through another break up and I'm glad Alt J is here to guide the meditation till I'm well again

    MINHA DECLARAÇÃO DE AMOR - ALT J
    Essa música me faz viajar. Faz-me sentir no espaço.
    É como um mantra ou uma oração que me transporta para o surreal.
    Amo tanto música que essa é mais uma das que eu agradeço a oportunidade de poder tê-la ouvida nesta única vida que tenho. Até porque o meu amar musical chega a lamentar as que não terei a oportunidade de ouví-las por causa da minha curta existência. Chego a sentir arrepios quando a ouço! Tudo que eu queria ao compor/ produzir uma música, é que alguém sentisse arrepios com a minha obra. Muitos querem dinheiro ou fama e acham que isso é o ápice. Penso que estão enganados! Só se atinge o ápice quando se faz laguém transbordar ao menos uma vez na sua música/ composição. Nessa eu sou líquido sem limites. Não só transbordo como não há nada que me retém!

      AbigailLilac search for Alt j Films Daljit Dhaliwal....those are the 3 names they have been called... I think Daljit Dhaliwal was the first name when they first formed, then changed to Films which they had to change cuz there was an American band called The Films and people were getting the two bands mixed up, and obvs finally Alt j which came from Gwil messing around on his computer keyboard and discovering that alt + j makes the delta sign (which I cannot do on my phone keypad lol)

    • @ThatMackieGirl
      @ThatMackieGirl 8 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      I can glean two meanings out of this song.
      1) The aftermath of the mugging in Bloodflood pt. I
      2) The prostitute who was raped in Fitzpleasure getting revenge.

    • @yairkornblau9440

    • @ThatMackieGirl
      @ThatMackieGirl 8 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      The song is based on a 1964 Hubert Selby Jr.'s novel "Last Exit to Brooklyn", in which a prostitute named Tralala is rather horrifically raped.
      The forceful nature of the song and the lyrics themselves ( "In your snatch fits pleasure, broom shaped pleasure" ) make it clear, at least to me, that it's about rape.
