The Maccabees - Pelican 

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we just found my new favourite band.

these guys deserved way more recognition. they will forever live on in my playlists

So soon we, so soon we So soon we're too old to carry And we knew it, and we knew it And we knew we only had a little while In the middle, in the middle In the middle just keep ticking over Before you know it, before you know it Before you know it parent's a parent To have it all, to have it all To have it all and still want more One thing's for sure, one thing's for sure One thing's for sure we're all getting older So we take a lover, so we take a lover So we take a lover waiting in the corner And before you know it, before you know it, Before you know it, pushing up the daisies And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know it's the ever and the more And again and again and again we go In the end, In the end In the end nothing comes easy So you find a way, so you find a way So you find a way to take a little with you For the ones you love, for the ones you love For the ones you love there's if they need too Pharaoh, pharaoh Pharaoh they're not coming with you. And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know it's the ever and the more And again and again and again So soon we, so soon we So soon we're too old to carry And we knew it, and we knew it Abd we knew we only had a little while In the middle, in the middle In the middle just keep ticking over Before you know it, before you know it Before you know it parent's a parent And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know it's the ever and the more And again and again and again

I don't know what it is, but these guys are amazing! The way they harmonise, the lead singers vocals are simply amazing. They could not be compared to another band on this planet. They do deserve more recognition, such a underated band!

One if the most underrated bands of all time

The new religion. They should play this at children's assembly. Breaks my heart how true this song is. Beautiful, makes me want to cry and laugh. How fast life is. Bless you all, hope you don't waste your time. Thank you so much maccabees x

Saw them live at the leadmill Sheffield around 2004 pretty flipping excellent. Still got the badges 😊

If this band had been around 30 years ago they would of been massive.

This video is the BEST to watch when you're stoned. It's also just a kick-ass song.

I used to be obsessed with thiS SONG

Pelican = best song of the year. Given to the Wild = best album of the year. The Maccabees are just fantastic.

Top Gear season 19 preview brought me here. Always rerunning old tTop Gear…Hidden music gem..and brilliant (might be even best ever) season.

This is just one of those bands that you wish you was in, and wish you'd made those songs, absolutely quality.

Simply incredible. One of the best songs I've ever heard.

modern classic, reminds me of 80s imagery meets something very new and quite exciting. Like this band, glad they have the fanbase to keep them coming back.

Literally one of the best videos I've seen, so simple but has a strong message! It's awesome :)

this song puts me in such a good mood. actually cant wait to see them live again

Gonna miss you so much. 💔 Thanks for the amazing music.

This is a great band, all their songs are very good. Greetings from Mexico City.

Top gear!!

I'm realizing that when I went to London Southbank district met Orlando Weeks instead talking each other... I should tell him how Pelican was amazing song.

1:46 Best part. Yes, I'm immature.

We were lucky enough to support The Maccabees when they came to Melbourne recently. Lets do it again some time hey :)

This song is about life death and rebirth... "And we go back to where we came from with those before and those to come" This song is so Y.A.L.A. (you always live again)

love this band!

Pure quality

First time I heard this I wasn't terribly impressed. Then Stuart Maconie on radio 6 said you have to turn it up really loud and god bless him, I did. And it's a fucking ace song.

Saw you in Tampa last night; was so impressed, my friends and I ran out and bought merch! Wish I could figure out what the first song you sang was, that was my favorite!

"One thing's for sure, we'll all getting older". Mmmmm, that's really deep guys, thanks for the head's up.

i really dont know how this band have slipped through my radar......first thing i've heard by them, just brilliant........thanks to 6MUSIC who are playing it lots

love this band so much!

Same saw them playing with Black Keys in Birmingham NIA yesterday =]

Two words. Top Gear.

At first I loved the melody...then I loved the lyrics...then the video in context...then the whole fruitcake. Glorious!

...and again and again and again and again we go ;)

Watched them open for Florence and The Machine last night at the Hollywood Bowl they were insane , really enjoyed there music all night . I wish they had played longer .

Great opening for The Black Keys in Lisbon! I love this song!

i think when producing this, they really wanted the ethos to be a festival anthem. I don't think they failed if so. There isn't a band out there who can finish their songs in a more enthralling way than Maccabees!!!

Saw them last month at Brixton academy they were awesome was awesome when this song came on

this song is about life and death.. it shows us life and death from a different perspective many of us are not familiar with.

such a hook to this song.. ..Love it!!!!!!!!

Cant wait for the Sheffield gig

Saw this on the excellent NME satellite TV channel. Wowsa.

These lot are supporting the Black Keys 7th Dec in Newcastle !!! i can't wait !!

this song is stunning! love it

So I played this video infront of my whole art class unknowing of what is in the video....

Watching them with the black keys tonight! Can't wait!

Didn't think The Maccabees could become better, this video has proved that they can.

I seen this song and video on MTV rocks recently. Great video and love the song, definitely have to listen to your albums now.

one of the best videos- everyone should watch the "in the making" its unbelievable!

it is the inevitability of the passing of time and how we can never live up to the dreams we had.... melancholy wonder.

Can't wait to see these guys supporting The Black Keys next month! What a song..

Awesome. i just saw them last night in Albuquerque with Florence and the Machine. AMAZING live!

Just seen them at Latitude they were AMAZING!!

The album is freaking amazing!

Saw them opening for the Black Keys last night, AMAZZIINGG

Essa musica é tão boa :) Como eu só fui descobrir ela agora

FINALLYYYY they made it to the big lights! love them, have for like 5 years now! woooo

I can't understand how some people can listen to this song without the urge to get up and dance!

Still blows my wig off in 2024.. absolute timeless belter

Saw Florence, and got introduced to the macabees. Truely a great combo ♥

Ahh the maccabees...how I love thee!

Sencillamente geniales...!

And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know its the ever and the more And again and again and again O my god I found joy in music :) This is great!

Finally! Thankyou guys, for such amazing music.

Brilliant video for a brilliant song

fell in love last night with them at the Florence and the Machine concert in Raleigh!!!

What a fantastic way to star 2012 with the new Maccabees album :D

this song is awesome. This video is awesome. They work in harmony.

I fell in love with these guys after seeing them open for Florence and the Machine at the Nikon Theater

Haha I'm seeing them tonight and I feel the same. Lots of tissues are being brought.

As an aspiring musician, I have to say I really love your uploads. Always great!

YAY! can't wait for opener!!!

I went to Florence and the Machine at Raleigh, NC last night(Florence awesome as usual) but I fell in love with this song so I just bought it on ITunes :)

The Maccabees are different class.

God bless the maccabees!

Amazing....and so addictive.

on the radio it sounds even better ^_^

In the Best of British revolutionary True-Art mind-expanding detached interventionary tradition.

What a song! Maccabees at their best!!!

Cannot wait for the album.

Great song, clever lyrics and one of the best videos ever!

this boys deserve to make some serious cash, I hope they go big

I was there too. Such a great show.

Absolutely great, love it. Didn't know them. Found 'em accidently. 😀

Fruit ninja, level expert ...

Saw them opening for the black keys yesterday!

Absolutely amazing! Pushes me to keep making music. Keep doing what your doing. 🖖💖

@felix- you legend! Big fan and would love you to come on cricket tour with us! Quick Question... Is 'In the middle, in the middle In the middle just keep ticking over' A reference to rotating strike and building a partnership? If it is, its fantastic wordsmithmanship H

cant wait to see them in newcastle gunna be massive!

I was right up against the barrier!

Forza Horizon
