    That’s dude is a wizard on bass. All of that aside. I absolutely love this band just tripped over them this week. When I hear them I feel like I can breath freely. Thank you

    they are actually quite brilliant, rare to see real musicians that play so uniquely these days, but it seems the brits still got it

    Massive props to the studio engineer for not drowning out the bass and instead accentuating it and making it the driving force of the song.
    I swear that the more I see this band the more I think they have one of the best rhythm sections going right now.

    • @christiansanders1

      Their rhythm section is tight as fuck. Especially on this song. Really impressive synergy between the drums and bass

    Really fresh sound, and at 65 I've pretty much heard all the top bands. Really talented musicians and I've also heard the young lady's vocal range on other tracks and she is superb.

    • @billytheseagull
      @billytheseagull 10 місяців тому

      Mostly it feels like a waste
      So much laughter un-canned
      I'd forgotten the taste
      Don't make me go back
      All the plans we tiptoed around
      In quiet hours, Daffodil buds
      There is a reason
      The first nine months doesn't count
      Nearly
      (Presque, wait no)
      Daffodils
      Nearly
      (Presque, wait no)
      Daffodils
      Sometimes it tears like a freight train
      Through a christening
      Displacing the new growth
      And making everything ugly
      Sometimes I want to make a home on it
      To look between the wheels I'm scared of being under
      I've started whistling in the mornings
      I like to hear the birds sing
      Nearly
      (Presque, wait no)
      Daffodils
      Nearly
      (Presque, wait no)
      Daffodils
      Last night I dreamt that we lasted all the way 'til spring
      But now the fields are full of red and blue with nothing in between
      You can lead water to the daffodils
      Mostly it feels like a waste
      So much laughter un-canned
      I'd forgotten the taste
      Don't make me
      Nearly
      (Presque, wait no)
      Daffodils
      Nearly
      (Presque, wait no)
      Daffodils
      Last night I dreamt that we lasted all the way 'til spring
      But now the fields are full of red and blue with nothing in between
      You can lead water to the daffodils
      But you can't make them drink

    7/4 ?

    • @adstratt
      @adstratt 7 місяців тому +1

      Verses and chorus 4/4, but then by my count the instrumental breakdown is a polyrhythm with the guitar (piano in album version) playing 6/4 over a 7/4 drum beat. Whatever it is, it's absolute witchcraft.
