A divide Calling all the faithless in flight What am I? I am only dust in this light But I would like to find another way to find you here You sat in the garden by the road Mummified, nullified in the soil The feeling weighs a fuck load in the morn They must have dropped the call "Thank goodness" I wrote A disguise Wear it till I think that it's real I don't know You may never know how I feel But I would like to find another way to find you here But I would like to find another way to find you here I stared up the wall and he said "'I don't know' is not an answer To the question To the question" In the time That it takes to open this wound Lay me down Tell me it'll be different soon But I would like to find another way to find you here But I would like to find another way to find you here I stared up the wall and he said "'I don't know' is not an answer To the question To the question"
Taking the groove carved by New Order, early Cure, OMD, Urban Verbs, DM, and Echo and the Bunnymen, and filling it with amazing ideas and sounds. 'Cause I've been waiting such a long long time!' ;)
Agreed! This band sounds like an incredible mix of what the best of 80's New Wave had to offer and it sounds so familiar too. I also heard some A-ha in the vocals.
@@santafoodrock I hear all of those bands, but honestly the first band I thought of hearing them for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago is Arcade Fire. :) so good.
This is, without a doubt, a stellar debut. This album hits all of the right strides. The influences from New Order, The Cure, Joy Division, etc. is apparent and happily welcomed. It's the perfect driving companion as well. I am in love with this song in particular because of how accessible it sounds, yet the lyrical story it puts together is compelling enough to warrant multiple listens. Hell, my Spotify auto-playlists currently have at least one of their songs peppered within them.

Great song & album! Beautiful work! And, the video builds a lot of suspense... will someone open a window? Will a new cloud appear? None of those things happen. A simple message - cancel rent
Love the song. Love the whole album. My fave track by them didn’t even make the album cut(What does the normal man feel)which means they got a worthy stockpile of songs.
Absolutely. What Does the Normal Man Feel is a terrific track. The new stuff is sounding good too, will be interesting to see where they go on album two
Is it just me or does the lead singer have a similar sound as Ian Curtis from the Joy Division? Awesome song anyway. Very cool and different groove!!!!!
It's the early 80s When Tears for Fears Soft Cell n Depeche mode along with the Cure were a massive influence on me ...Love bands now that are clearly influenced by that era like Future Islands and White Lies n of course these guys xx
@The Flaneur thanks for your narrow minded, capitalistic and outright dumb way of looking at the world. "Cancel Rent" obviously implies the system you're describing needs to go first.
Love like hell this song, and I am pretty obsessed with Nation of Language since I discovered them some days ago, great emergent band, wonderful synthpop sound. But, it is not a bit unnecessarily long song? I feel it could be a bit shorter, cause it does not progress that much during the 5mins. Yeah I agree, 5 delicious minutes but...
