Magic song. Not many bands(people) can write lyrics line this. Was never huge popular right ? But ultimate interpretation of this song as a classic Irish ballad so engrained in my head my mission is to get Christy Moore to record it. You get me now?!
Always remember seeing a poster for a gig at Uni mid 2000's with Maximo Park for £7.50, glanced it, walked past, didn't go in, regret it every time I listen to them
I’ve rediscovered this song after 13 years... Brings all the feels! Amazing lyrics, melodic tune. Fantastic voice and accent, just perfect! Once saw them in Montreal, many moons ago... now I would go back and relive again and again.
skunk39 I listened to this a lot on public transit around 2009-10, it became an addiction. The perfect song for walking in a big city ! Still has all the urgency and slick symmetry about it .... it’s really a masterpiece.
spotify randomly had this in one of my daily mixes, it was the first time I heard this since 2009 or ‘10. my best friend at the time gave me a mix cd for christmas and this was the first song! now i’m hooked, it takes me way back to my teenage years ❤️
@@puccini4 the smiths maybe? This is basically a song performed in their style. The lead guitar has Johnny Marr's influence written all over it, not to mention a set of brooding lyrics
I discovered this band in 2016. They are incredible with those poetic lyrics and catchy melodies. This song always touches my heart in a very different way. That feeling cannot be expressed. I am really thankful for this band💌 "Why does every let down have to be so thin?"💓
Heard this song yesterday in a small cafe in Dublin ❤ didn’t thought of this song for such a long time! Now it’s on my playlist 😍 Loved it back then and still do!
When I discovered this band a few years ago, I thought I might have overlooked it in the 80’s when obsessed with INXS, REM and the like. Mixes great with fine pop rock of that era and draws heavily from that influence. Never tire of it, great energy and lyrics.
Love song for a long lost friend. Time passes and you grow apart, but it's hard without a break up, there is no closure. We would've gone to a Maximo Park concert back in 2012, but decided not to, can't remember why.
Probably better to be that way, not sell-out, just the music is appreciated. No egos, no "celeb status"...if I had a modicum of their talent I'd want it to be like that.
Oh, how I LOVE this song! I still remember, when I first heard it, more than 10 years ago now (which makes me feel nostalgic ...). Maximo Park really is one of the few bands who have their own, unique sound - in the best way I could imagine.
So ein tolles Muntermach-Lied!!!!!! Immer wenn ich es höre habe ich sofort gute Laune!!!!! Und ich muss mich bewegen und dazu tanzen!!!!! Geht garnicht anders!!!!!!💃
22/12/19.. Such a forgotten about tune! This is quality compared to the shit out today. 2019/soon to 20 and still loving it!!!🤘 Songs like this should be made xmas number one!!!
[Verse 1] Night falls And towns become circuit boards We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving From the air Stadium lights stand out like flares And all I know is that you're sat here right next to me We rarely see Warning signs in the air we breathe Right now I feel each and every fragment This paper trail leads right back to you… You say you need me to step outside [Chorus] You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes You passed me up so as not to break a promise Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen [Verse 2] This is something new But it turns out it was borrowed, too "why does every letdown have to be so thin?" Rain explodes At the moment that the cab door closed I feel the weight upon your kiss; ambiguous You have to leave. I appreciate that But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp [Chorus] You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes You passed me up so as not to break a promise Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen [Bridge](x2) Two bodies in motion This is a matter of fact It wasn't built to last [Chorus] You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes You passed me up so as not to break a promise Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen [Outro] The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall And we decided just to write after all After all The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall And we decided just to write after all
I've got to the ripe old age of 36 and I belive you get to an age were you listen like actually hear the song and this is a very sad song .. epic but sad
Night falls And towns become circuit boards We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving From the air Stadium lights stand out like flares And all I know is that you're sat here right next to me We rarely see Warning signs in the air we breathe Right now I feel each and every fragment This paper trail leads right back to you… You say you need me to step outside You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes You passed me up so as not to break a promise Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen This is something new But it turns out it was borrowed, too "why does every letdown have to be so thin?" Rain explodes At the moment that the cab door closed I feel the weight upon your kiss; ambiguous You have to leave. I appreciate that But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes You passed me up so as not to break a promise Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen Two bodies in motion This is a matter of fact It wasn't built to last You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes You passed me up so as not to break a promise Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall And we decided just to write after all
This is my second time ever to hear this ( I've just heard it on BBCR2, after midnight show ) and all I can say... wow. Coldplay take notes ! :) amazing :)
Ich habe diese Band gerade gefunden und jetzt bin ich besessen von ihnen!! Bist du Deutscher? Ich konme aus UK aber sehr oft höre ich zu Musik aus Deutschland um mein Deutschkenntnisse zu verbessern =D
I was there too! One of best festivals ever. Freevolution festival 2007? The whole energy around the place was amazing that day. Think the whole of the teenage/early 20 generation that was from the North East came to see them at the Quayside that day. They were absolutely huge up here around that time. Especially with the Northumbria uni connection.
