This song is amazing.. so hard to write a great love song and these guys have done it in spades.

    Every song on their last album is f#&%ing amazing!! No wonder they won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize with it!! Already tried to make them more popular here on the forum but nobody wants to be part of their brilliance ... :D:D:D

    the entirety of seldom seen kid is fantastic....especially "one day like this." that blows me away every time
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    i dont know the name of it but I love their current one... but Newborn (one of their older teeyoons) is one of helluva song.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    'The Bones of You' & 'The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver' are my favourites right now. It changes every week, the record has just incredible depth!! :D
