They are going to become one of those bands that didn't have the successes they deserved during their activity, but gonna influence many young artists to come in the futur. i.e. Joy Division.
I used to sing the acoustic version of this to my puppy to help her sleep. That was the only version of the song I knew until a few months ago, surprisingly, and I've been inlove since then. It gives you a nostalgic feel tbh.
August 2021. I recall my daughter playing toothpaste kisses years ago. My younger daughter met FW yesterday at ‘it’s always summer somewhere. Great music!
Vaya es una canción muy buena, me gusta la letra y sobretodo el ritmo que lleva, uff para escucharla en tus momentos de mal día jajaja me gusta❤🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻!!
I'm even late than that post from one year ago, that says that Rocío discovered this band, well, I suck and don't laught at me, I'm re-watching THE HILLS and one episode of Season 3 (2007) they play this song when the lyrics went "First love, last love, only love" and I searched for the song with these lyrics and it went down for me, I was like "better late than never" I liked this song a lot, and I'm preparing myself to be amazed when I'd be listening other songs from this band.
I saw their last concert in Alexandra Palace, and I really regret they are not writing music anymore. I listen to A LOT of indie. The Maccabees have been the best indie band of the last 10 years.
LOVE IT AS PICKLED ARE WE ALL who have been preserved By LOVE AND HEAVENS EMBRACE we are kewl sometimes to be cruel as IT IS CRUEL SOMETIMES TO BE KIND❤❤❤
First love, last love Only love, it's only love First love, last love Only love, it's only love Do you miss home? Do you miss home? And are you cool? Symmetricool? Let's get married And tick the boxes And so she says Oh, let's get married And take the boxes Do you want to be alone? Do you wanna be alone? And are you cool? Symmetrical, hypocritical, analytical, so critical? Nothing's perfect And I'm hoping I'll do, do But I will not do Cos nothing's perfect So I'll have to make do And it's my mistake and no mistake And I would take it back if I could So stay with me tonight Well, I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it And pillow talk you into it I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it Entice you with this leopard print And matching velvet duvet First love, last love Only love, it's only love First love, last love Only love, it's only love Only love Only love It's only love
I love the fact that it doesn't sing about all that lovey-dovey stuff about couples, but it can still be considered a love song. I like this song because it's the only love song I can actually relate to. It sucks to be lonely and single and to have to listen to shitty pop songs about love and alcohol an d sex and whatnot. so, yeah, thank you maccabees.
I'm too late, why did I just find this band? it's art, more than I could expect.
Same :/
Me too. Have only found them because Felix is Jimmy's sidekick on Tailenders.... then I found he did the soundtrack for The Edge...
its never too late
never is to late to join to the honeycomb
Dear Maccabees,
I miss your band so much. But thanks for making amazing music that never gets old.

Just living this comment here so that everytime someone like it i can remembrer this masterpeace
love this indie style of music with the driving bass, and melodic guitar and unorthodox song structure.
Yes
math rock is your friend
Bloc Party
They are going to become one of those bands that didn't have the successes they deserved during their activity, but gonna influence many young artists to come in the futur. i.e. Joy Division.
For sure
They never sold out, which is what I find most beautiful about the band. As real to listen now as it was to listen then. & forever it will be!
I hope this happens. We just need to wait a few more months
This band is the british equivalent of the drums, which is not a bad thing.
Sad to hear about they're breakup. I remember the first time I heard them in the Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging movie. memories.
Alexa Salas Fell in love with them thanks to that movie... :’)
:,)
me too
*THEIR
well thanks for ruining it for me after listening to the them for the first time.
the acoustic version has a special place in my heart
I can't believe it that there will be a future without the maccabees :/
😞
Well tell him to reform the band or he’s grounded
Bflow There is none
Yeep
I will be forcing my children to listen to this 😫 it will be a tradition
It amazes me that one song can, so perfectly, sum up how it feels to be young and in, what you think is, love :)
hey hope ur happy now
I used to have this on my MySpace page. *nostalgic sigh* Two million years on and I still love it.
True
I've been obsessed with them for like a month, basically since I heard them. Their sound is so unique to them and it just works.
your comment was 10 years ago..where are you now?
hey. hope ur happy now
Exact same thing, 12 years later. Hope you’re doing well :)
Hope your happy and have found peace in yourself.
I used to sing the acoustic version of this to my puppy to help her sleep. That was the only version of the song I knew until a few months ago, surprisingly, and I've been inlove since then. It gives you a nostalgic feel tbh.
Throw back to my depressed 10th grade self. Good times 👌. This band got me through a lot of thought times. For that. Thanks.
One of my favourite songs as a teenager...and still today ❤️❤️
i love how they look like theyre casually talking but it sounds like they re screaming :)))
love this song
underrated song. good memories
First time listening in 2017 and I've fallen in love. Too bad I'm way too late
ValleyM me too
Typical noughties song, this changing rhythm. Best times
2019, huh?
First love. Last love. Only love. It's only love.
:'(
Ageing well! Revisiting this album Nine years after...sounds great!
Wish they would get back together I was 14 when this was uploaded. Alot of memories hit me listening to this!
Ah I rediscovered it! Reminds me of when I was 16, good times :)
Both this and the acoustic version are just 👌mm
2020 YEAH DANCE
escuchaba esta banda en 2014 cuando era adolescente😢
When shit goes down this'll be a perfect song to listen to
2021
So lamented... If only you knew how important you were to so many of us...
your band name means pickles in arabic
+John Abel yeah well pretty much the same thing
+mirai farah omfg this comment XDD
+Tal Azulay אנשים מטומטמים בימינו.
No, it's مخلل
I need to Fact check this if it’s true that’s Hilarious
Don't mind me just here to mourn The Maccabees for a few minutes
It's so sad :(
Why, what happened? Well I’m here from their nfs soundtrack
Literally only just found this band and have had on repeat since why did they have to break up
Why haven't I found this band before?
you weren't looking hard enough
Gracias FM Kabul 107.9 de Argentina por pasar siempre esta canción
Holy shit, used to listen to them when I was 14 and forgot about this song. Wow . Brings things back
August 2021. I recall my daughter playing toothpaste kisses years ago. My younger daughter met FW yesterday at ‘it’s always summer somewhere.
Great music!
Diosss! que buen descubrimiento acabo de haceeeer! :3
Y apuesto a que 5 años más tarde, sigue siendo tu mejor descubrimiento, lo es para mí
y yo 6 años y 5 meses después :9
x2
Yes... the two bands (vampire weekend and the maccabees )... they rock 😀😀
I'm glad I got a chance to see these guys live at a kasabian concert ,these are really something .
So glad they're back, just booked the tickets for the concert in August 2025
For the most part I agree... but have you not heard of the drums? They're American but dear God they are AMAZING.
the yearning in this video is so palpable god
When I went to see Kasabian in concert I didnt realise The Maccabees were supporting... best surprise ever. So good live.
I remember when I first found this song, then I forgot about it for almost 5 years. I'm glad I found it again!
I miss The Maccabees' music so much.
This was my absolute favourite song. Both the acoustic version and this brings so much nostalgia of simpler times
Okay, this is the 3rd song in a row I've heard by this band now and I'm sold! These guys are SO good it's scary.
I am 13 years late I am sorry but I am here somehow to experience your masterpiece that was left right here for everyone of us.
Molto originali... vi ho scoperti con Pelican nel 2011, 9 anni fa.E solo ad Agosto di quest'anno ho scoperto questa canzone; 14 anni in ritardo.
I could listen to this song over and over and never get bored! These guys are brilliant live.. the crowd went nuts!!! xxx
Oh the maccabees will always be my first love
So indie and cool, It's impossible not to LOVE this ❤️
Love it
Beautiful music from The Maccabees! Hoping that more people appreciate their kind of music!
Classic!! A song I’ll listen to forever!!
I love ❤ this album and use to listen to it driving to frensham to project manage a renovation on a old house 🏡
@SamuelEMPowell131 Thanks for pointing 👉 me in the right direction
There is already a group called The Maccabeats, who have been around for 15 years, and this group cannot hold a candle to them.
Probably one of my favourite songs ever to exist, and the video is amazing, lets face it Orlando weeks is just a god.
I'm 100% agree, and it's really hard to say wich one is better, the song or the video :-)-
Vaya es una canción muy buena, me gusta la letra y sobretodo el ritmo que lleva, uff para escucharla en tus momentos de mal día jajaja me gusta❤🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻!!
They ARE the nicest bunch of guys ever!!
Such beautiful boys!! :)
When I see this video only has 860,000 views it makes me happy. I am one of the few who get to enjoy brilliant music.
Los amo 💖💖💖

Great era for music. Wish indie still sounded like this....
This song takes me BACK
La mejor canción y el mejor disco de todos los tiempos
Love them! A shame I won't be able to go to their gig at Dour :(. They should come to Belgium more often.
I think this is one of my favourite songs ever
The Maccabees are just all round Awesome, Awesome music,Awesome videos just Awesome. cant argue
Colour me in is one of my fav albums everrrrrrr
Jacob Boulton colour it in ** can't be one of ur favs if u don't even know the name of it
Thanks to this song I found love 3 weeks ago. Thanks You.
thanks mom for giving me some special and cool taste on music
South Londons finest ❤️
life without The Maccabees just wouldnt be worth living!
i demand this to be in spotify
It is
I miss 2000s indie/hipster stuff. Good shit.
I saw their last concert in Alexandra Palace, and I really regret they are not writing music anymore. I listen to A LOT of indie. The Maccabees have been the best indie band of the last 10 years.
Amo este álbum
Mi canción favorita, se les extraña, saludos desde México!
Great live in Austin years ago!!!!
was lucky enough to meet them and they really are the nicest guys ever :D
What happened to the flip page animation?? It was an anthem in my 20s and I was hoping to show it to my son!
LOVE IT AS PICKLED ARE WE ALL who have been preserved By LOVE AND HEAVENS EMBRACE we are kewl sometimes to be cruel as IT IS CRUEL SOMETIMES TO BE KIND❤❤❤
Hoy es un buen día para recordar 🍃
Shivers. Nostalgia. Love.
One of my favourite bands ever since i saw them live x
I saw these live yesterday absolutely amazing
this song with forever live
How does he do that with his voice?!?!?!?! ^0^
Me da la impresión de escuchar el ritmo y melodía de Elvis Presley. Linda canción! :)
Still listening in 2017. 10 yeara ago I was young and this was the perfect song for me!
amazing tune. heard this on that ad too, that's probably been quite good for them haha
British bands rules the indie genre.. They are the best!!
CANT STOP LISTENING.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg, The Maccabees are the best of World, really! amazing !
Weyyyyyy mi rolaaaaa
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
Do you miss home?
Do you miss home?
And are you cool?
Symmetricool?
Let's get married
And tick the boxes
And so she says
Oh, let's get married
And take the boxes
Do you want to be alone?
Do you wanna be alone?
And are you cool?
Symmetrical, hypocritical, analytical, so critical?
Nothing's perfect
And I'm hoping I'll do, do
But I will not do
Cos nothing's perfect
So I'll have to make do
And it's my mistake and no mistake
And I would take it back if I could
So stay with me tonight
Well, I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it
And pillow talk you into it
I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it
Entice you with this leopard print
And matching velvet duvet
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
Only love
Only love
It's only love
*let’s get murdered
Saw them live in Bristol last night, absolutely AMAZING.
miss them so much ):
Somehow the music and the music video reminds me of some danish rock/alternative pop band.. Which is good(;
this song NEVER gets old :')
But your comment does. 😫
I hope you're doing well, wherever you are.
For the first few seconds I thougt that lady was planking! I was like "man... another planking video" :)
I love the fact that it doesn't sing about all that lovey-dovey stuff about couples, but it can still be considered a love song. I like this song because it's the only love song I can actually relate to. It sucks to be lonely and single and to have to listen to shitty pop songs about love and alcohol an d sex and whatnot. so, yeah, thank you maccabees.
nice comment i love this song too
Beautiful 👌
