Have you heard a band called Nothing But Thieves? Also phenomenal musicians…I have seen them twice now and they’ve blown me away both times…I’m 61 by the way and a devoted Led Zeppelin fan after seeing them in August 79 🥰
Absolutely... this is why I keep coming back to it. As someone who used to play and record myself in the past, there is literally nothing about this I would change, and every time I hear it it just brings a smile of actual joy to my face :P
Their faces at the end say it all… they are so happy to be where they’re at now, with such an amazing third album out and wide, deserved recognition 🥰🥰 loved them since i saw them live in 2016 at bbk
I work at festivals and saw them twice during 2018 circuit, once at Reading and once at Latitude.. she was wearing a wedding dress at latitude and did a very calm set.. leather jacket white tank top and denim jeans at Reading and played a rocky af set, one of the best bands to catch live as they give such a diff energy every time you get the chance to watch them.. hope I catch them this year as the new album is my favourite so far
I kinda wish they'd have done more of what the muppets do when they finish a number and really killed it - energetic nodding and looking around and going "Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" This fine take was definitely worthy of it!
I suspect it makes you cry because you have no real perspective on the realities of life. It is a brilliant song though. Quit crying and just enjoy it.
Emotions are powerful things, this song evokes them. There's no shame in reacting powerfully to such potent music, it takes courage to do so. Hopefully, the insecure poster above who felt the need to belittle you will someday learn the same bravery.
I really think Ellie is talking about her and the band here. "Urgency takes hold". Realizing they have a "shot for a spot at the top" (Delicious Things). The next album is where they cement their status - as good as this one is.
@@theempire00 I don't think it's cheesy in that she's referring (mostly) to herself, but also the band and the scary prospect of being the biggest band in the world, and everything that entails.
@@theempire00 I agree to some extent, but I've listened to their dynamic hard rock songs, their intense punk songs and their well-crafted pop songs (Freazy, right out of the gate, is A-1) and their batting percentage is in the .900s. I've read dozens upon dozens of YT comments saying that "they just discovered this band" (I'm one of them). Each one of those people is going to recommend W.A. to a friend, and on it goes. The 2022 tour will further increase that buzz. I predict 2024 will be their big breakthrough. Next album. U.S. radio play will help immensely. I truly believe it's inevitable.
@@bradmoberly6164 Cause they don't have tattoos on their faces acting like idiots singing about coochie, goochie slap titty mo ritty. That doesn't fit the social engineering plan. Gotta keep everyone re tar ded. Trust the science.
One of the most amazing vocal performances ever. Ellie is the epitome of a rockstar and her vocals are off the chain. Can’t wait to see these guys live !!
My god Ellie has done such good job on training her voice. I've seen them from when they first started touring Europe and honestly the whole band has gotten zo good technically its pretty insane. Can't wait to see them this year! I hope Covid doesn't ruin shows again, i got so many planned:|
No idea how this ended up in my recommendations but I guess sometimes UA-cam does actually get it right because this is very, very good!! The riff starting at 1:48 is everything!!
wow I love everything this about this song, insane talent, when Ellie belts out at the end everyone else there must be stunned, such a beautiful powerful voice
I scoured a number of comments looking for the lyrics and had no luck. So I hope these our accurate. A moment to change it all Had life before been so slow? Urgency takes hold But to live in fear, isn't to live at all So how can I make it OK? I just want you to be happy How can I make it OK? I just want you to be happy How can I make it OK?

The album version is cool but this is a better representation of the song and her vocal range is incredible.Plus tight musicianship from the entire group.
This band is SO GOOD. I can see and hear all of the rock influences that led to Wolf Alice going back 10, 20, 30, and 40+ years. They have it together totally. Bought their first album about 3-4 years ago. Nice to see a "new" one out! Cheers. Phenomenal.
i dont listen to the radio any more, dont know what the top 40 is or was for last 20 years. can anyone tell me if this IS…or WAS…a hit on the radio? if this didnt…or wont…win the GRAMMY…i dont know what could. this 60 year old man labeled as “hard” didnt know he could cry. good job, WOW. amaz8ng what can be done with simple beat
@@Rudehotel9927 I started listening to them around when I started recovery for a variety of mental health issues and their music gave me so much power, I really hope it can help you like it did for me :)
Superb live version of this incredible song! Thanks guys! I turn 70 next month, and I sincerely hope you are all still making great music long after I'm gone!
You could quite easily think you were listening to the album version here. Recorded after take after take, overdubbing and mixing. But, no. This is played live to perfection - precision and feeling by all the band.Fantastic.
An absolute masterclass in creating a perfectly measured, considered and relevant piece of music. The internet is flooded with emotionless music, this reaffirms my belief. We can’t thank you guys enough for giving us a reason to listen... xxx to all of you.
Weowww... The fact that I just discovered Wolf Alice in a world full of only Country shows me I had bad friends. Absolutely a fan of Wolf Alice, now a week later and then seeing this performance? Holy crap...they all sound great! And that dude killin it on drums AND background vocals? Pssh. Awesome! And how powerful she sings at the end is absolutely Amazing Stellar. Absolutely recommend them.
Quite likely the finest group on the current scene, mainly because they can really play and play so brilliantly together as a unit. This is the A Team of bands. Go see them live to fully appreciate this collective talent.

First heard this song playing in the background of Eastenders on a recent episode and had to find out what it was. Been hooked ever since. One of the best female vocals I have ever heard! Totally blown away ❤
I'm 62 years young and I've been around some music, these musicians are phenomenal.
I agree ❤
💯
I'm 60 and agree
Have you heard a band called Nothing But Thieves? Also phenomenal musicians…I have seen them twice now and they’ve blown me away both times…I’m 61 by the way and a devoted Led Zeppelin fan after seeing them in August 79 🥰
I’m 69 & love them. Always a Stones man plus so many other bands over aeons. Ellie & her band work so beautifully together. Fine musicians.
Vocals without autotune. What a relief. And a joy.
I can't stop listening to this song. It's become a daily ritual.
mine too xx
yep!
Yeah, it’s got that perfect blend of poignance and uplift.
Well ben davis youre my daily ritual ya beautiful handsome nice person
Me too along with Delete the Kisses!
All the vocals are absolutely incredible, only just started listening to WA and they’ve blown me away
Welcome to the gang👍
Welcome🎉🎉
same here, this song blew me away, its fantastic
Same - since early December of last year. I play their stuff regularly. Also: Ellie is so lovely.
Happy hunting welcome to the club 👍
Makes me cry, so beautiful
Ellie's vocal range is so incredible
Wolf Alice has gotten better with age. Fantastic.
She's singing with more power and confidence than ever.
@@j.kevvideoproductions.6463her confidence has grown so much the last few years. Ellie is amazing
Ellie is in the big leagues now man. The entire band for that matter.
This music makes me feel things I haven't felt in forever... keep going back to them every weekend
One of the best songs i ever listened to from a song writer/producer perspective.
I couldn’t agree more!!
@@JosephineKilpatrick I actually disagree. Ok . . .You got me. I don't disagree. 😔
Bro i got a song for you that you might like
mantra dave grohl josh homme trent reznor check that mate
Absolutely... this is why I keep coming back to it. As someone who used to play and record myself in the past, there is literally nothing about this I would change, and every time I hear it it just brings a smile of actual joy to my face :P
Will never get over how perfect this is...
this... this is music.
No matter what else is happening in the world, listen to this, and suddenly everything is alright.
This video has become somewhat of a daily ritual for me over the past few months. Never gets old.
To all those that say they don't make music like they used to...Your right.
It only keeps getting better with every new generation
As an old guy, I agree. Massive talent now and imaginative ideas. Love the music.
I think this is one of the more interesting records to come out of the pandemic years, which was so interesting from a musical perspective
Their faces at the end say it all… they are so happy to be where they’re at now, with such an amazing third album out and wide, deserved recognition 🥰🥰 loved them since i saw them live in 2016 at bbk
Thats the face you make when you know you have made an awesome take and you know that you need to do nothing else, you nailed it. Which they did.
I work at festivals and saw them twice during 2018 circuit, once at Reading and once at Latitude.. she was wearing a wedding dress at latitude and did a very calm set.. leather jacket white tank top and denim jeans at Reading and played a rocky af set, one of the best bands to catch live as they give such a diff energy every time you get the chance to watch them.. hope I catch them this year as the new album is my favourite so far
I kinda wish they'd have done more of what the muppets do when they finish a number and really killed it - energetic nodding and looking around and going "Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" This fine take was definitely worthy of it!
I’m an old metal head from the 80s and my God this is beautiful.
indeed ❤❤❤
It’s unreal to me that you never cry while playing your own music. It’s so damn beautiful
I thought that about Imagine dragons - Shots - Live from the smith center. How Dan doesn't well up from the sound of his own voice is beyond me
I would be a wreck, not even a little bit. Top comment.
why does this song always make my cry , Really love Ellie's voice makes me shiver time after time ! love this band forever!
I got goosebumps on this as well 😎
I suspect it makes you cry because you have no real perspective on the realities of life. It is a brilliant song though. Quit crying and just enjoy it.
Love love this song and Wolf Alice.
@@ttred1962 no one asked for your opinion you sad weeny
Emotions are powerful things, this song evokes them. There's no shame in reacting powerfully to such potent music, it takes courage to do so. Hopefully, the insecure poster above who felt the need to belittle you will someday learn the same bravery.
"But to live in fear, isn't to live at all" favorite song on Blue Weekend 💙💙💙
I really think Ellie is talking about her and the band here. "Urgency takes hold". Realizing they have a "shot for a spot at the top" (Delicious Things). The next album is where they cement their status - as good as this one is.
Bit cheesy but good line nonetheless
@@theempire00 I don't think it's cheesy in that she's referring (mostly) to herself, but also the band and the scary prospect of being the biggest band in the world, and everything that entails.
@@dougcallaghan6075 I loooove this band (fan for 5-6 years). But they’re still quite far from being the biggest band in the world. Like really far.

I'm obsessed with this song, so glad they released this live version.
Me too this is a fucking addiction
Me three! The synth is much more profound in this version (esp. the beginning) than the one in the album and that sounds so good!
How in the hell is this so damn good live???!!! Amazing!
Criminally Underrated in the States. Per Usual.
No doubt. I have no idea why this isn't on every station
@@bradmoberly6164 Cause they don't have tattoos on their faces acting like idiots singing about coochie, goochie slap titty mo ritty. That doesn't fit the social engineering plan.

Trust the science.
benefit is the smaller venues they play when touring here. the shows are so good
Well, if you are wondering, yeah, this is talent, pure, simple, genius talent!
I hope this band stay together and keep following their musical vision.
One of the most amazing vocal performances ever. Ellie is the epitome of a rockstar and her vocals are off the chain.
Can’t wait to see these guys live !!
This is a band at the top of their game. Simply brilliant.
Ellie has such a powerful voice.
I've been on the 10 year journey with the band. It's time to face the facts...Wolf Alice can do no wrong.
My god Ellie has done such good job on training her voice. I've seen them from when they first started touring Europe and honestly the whole band has gotten zo good technically its pretty insane. Can't wait to see them this year! I hope Covid doesn't ruin shows again, i got so many planned:|
Same here, but don't be too optimistic. The European tour for Feb is already postponed.
No idea how this ended up in my recommendations but I guess sometimes UA-cam does actually get it right because this is very, very good!! The riff starting at 1:48 is everything!!
wow I love everything this about this song, insane talent, when Ellie belts out at the end everyone else there must be stunned, such a beautiful powerful voice
When that riff kicks in. Just incredible
gives me chills. 👍🏼
Her voice is the 5th instrument
Ellie is looking so gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That little smile at the end says, "I think we nailed that one".
I scoured a number of comments looking for the lyrics and had no luck. So I hope these our accurate.

i love how they all smile at the end, like yeah that was incredible
Her vocals are on another planet 🌎

That last guitar riff at the end underneath the vocals, where she is belting the lyrics out... its just fantastic.
Beautiful
This is one of the most beautiful live performances I have ever heard
I just discovered this band a couple days ago and I am literally shaken to my core. A simply stunning sound.
Same here!! I'm so glad I found them, I think they are going to be a big part of my healing journey!!

One of the best bands out there. Ellie’s voice is a god damn revelation!
Stellar, great mix, great vocals. They're like a modern Fleetwood Mac
Great fucking shout!
this song never fails to leave me breathless. holding my breath for 3+mins :')

Ellie keeps getting better and better and the band was flawless.
She did such a great job here. Notes of Aimee Mann and KD Lang but very much her own thing. Cheers to her!
omg Ellie's voice in this is immense. One of my favourite bands of today. Amazing music.
This version of this song is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's THAT good!
just flat-out f'ing outstanding. wow.
Weowww...
The fact that I just discovered Wolf Alice in a world full of only Country shows me I had bad friends.
Absolutely a fan of Wolf Alice, now a week later and then seeing this performance? Holy crap...they all sound great! And that dude killin it on drums AND background vocals? Pssh. Awesome!
And how powerful she sings at the end is absolutely Amazing
Stellar. Absolutely recommend them.
Amazing vocals from Ellie, she has developed her control and range tremendously!! well done.
Her voice. That vibrato. Perfect.
My two young daughters are now massive fans and know all the words, amazing :) truly a great band from my neck of the woods.
Quality music, nice. Try London Grammar also.
A masterpiece.
I can't imagine the feeling of creating something that perfect in real time.
Unforgettable
I’ve been listening this over what, a year now? Randomnly and frequently :D . Now again. This is the best version (Y).
Quite likely the finest group on the current scene, mainly because they can really play and play so brilliantly together as a unit. This is the A Team of bands. Go see them live to fully appreciate this collective talent.

A great performance. One of the best songs of their discography beautifully played
There are not too many bands past or present that can perform a song like this so flawlessly live, true talent
Wolf Alice thank you for giving the world this Earworm ❤❤
The No.1 rock band in the world today.
You can make it better than OK with more music like this. Got 2 of your albums, and they're brilliant.
I'm going to go in record, this is one of the greatest songs of all time. I will try to re-visit this in 10 years and criticize myself.
Best song on the record.
On the Album of the Year.
Been in love with these 4 since I first saw them in a tiny bar in L.A. back in 2014.
big cocteau twins vibes magnificent
I really love this live version, her voice was so clear and powerful. And the instruments were perfectly blended too
The opening of this song sounds heavenly. Makes me feel like I’m in the clouds.
Her voice gives me chills.
Ellie's vocals! Wow! Gorgeous song.
I’ve only just discovered this amazing woman, what a fantastic voice.
Speechless. I’m pretty new to wolf Alice but I can honestly say I’m a little bit obsessed. The vocals on Ellie are amazing and the pure commitment from everyone…….this song is on repeat repeat repeat!
Shades of Chrissy Hynde's vibrato..... Nice. I think I could dig this space and time.

That’s remarkable. Ellie’s vocal is perfection.
This is about my 10th watch in the last ~24 hours. Watching/listening to her belt towards the end is just amazing.
Ellie's vocals remind me of the mighty Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays. Devastatingly beautiful.
WHAT A VOICE CONTROL
I'm actually speechless ! the vocals are better here ,than the studio recording IMO.
First heard this song playing in the background of Eastenders on a recent episode and had to find out what it was. Been hooked ever since. One of the best female vocals I have ever heard! Totally blown away ❤
Ellie is sublime here with those different tones, and harmony; outstanding!
Absolutely addicted to this song
I totally love this song. Ellie's voice warms my soul.
the audio set up on this session is insane..her voice is just beautful
Exquisite performance. Ellie's smile at the end is priceless.
