@@TKbeatwerkThat's the first album that came to mind when I think of similar successful debut albums but I actually prefer Interpol's follow up Antics.
yep. approx the same time Arcade Fire - Funeral and Editors - The Back Room. And I hate to say none of them replicated the promise of their first albums.
I just spotted something extremely random. At 1:35, the girls are dancing outside a row of shops. The shop pictured is in Glasgow (I walk past it from time to time) and it’s the shop used as Navid’s store in the legendary Scottish sitcom Still Game. Lots of scenes were filmed on that little bit of street too. Just a small piece of trivia for anyone interested haha. Anyway, great song!
I knew some of this video was filmed in Scotland, even the way some of the youngsters were taunting each other I could tell that Scottish accent lol you have a great eye man!
The video captures the British comprehensive secondary school experience. Feels like forever when you’re going through it but, 14 years since I took my GCSEs, I can’t believe how quickly it went
I'm obsessed with what he's doing on the cymbals especially from 2:03 until about 2:45. Doubling the rhythm guitar line with hi-hat taps, and then the emotional crescendoes of the washes... ah. Ah. AH.
I'm 55 and this ad campaign has me in tears. Seeing these children with their highs and lows, joys and pains, laughter and tears, brings me back to my youth, and reminds me to be more caring and forgiving of the children of today, because we were just like them once 🥲
Thats a shame. I really thought they were doing justice to this amazing song. Its been one of my favourites for ten years now. Something so magical about it
It's so rare to see positive representations of British secondary school children in the media - I'm struggling to think of another one, what an fantastic video, timeless beautiful song - just perfect! Thank you!!
Watching this video for the first time and fr the nostalgia tho ❤ almost makes me miss it lol I was just finishing high school when this song came out originally. It Really is a timeless song
I used to listen to Bloc Party when I was in highschool and I was a teenager. 18 years later I'm watching this video and crying my heart out. Thank you for everything, BP.
I feel you, I was 14 when this album came out and 15 when I discovered it and it's stayed with me ever since. I hold it very close to my heart. This band inspired me to write music and have been doing so ever since.
Block Party's masterpiece colors the daily lives of today's young people who live in the age of cell phones and social media. It's diverse, fresh, lively, cruel, and beautiful. The truly heartmoving and wonderful song and video.
Freedom and foolishness. Joy and melancholy. Anticipation and hope. Love and hate. Fullness and emptiness. Youth and bravery. Thank you for everything, Block Party...
Timeless ♥ For the first half of the video, I was wishing that these were the memories I had of school. I'm glad they showed some of the anxieties, insecurities and hurtfulness. Much love to Bloc Party and all the kids out there! Don't let anyone tell you these are the best days of your life.
I figured it out. The drums are the relentless march of life, the physical permanence our every waking moment ties us to. The guitars are introspection, the malleable and semi permanent mental models we develop to make sense of and predict life. The vocals are our transient feelings of variously sadness, wishes for another chance, our time over again to make different decisions, joy. And ultimately exhilaration at "figuring it out" - our appreciation and integration of all of these elements; body, mind and spirit. A fantastic video for the most beautiful song. Love to all ❤
@@GIChowIt somehow makes sense! The part at 2:05 is without drums and feels like you’re flying above the ground, as if your mind is wandering away from it all after a major setback in life, with the angelic vocals, leading back to the drum bringing you back to the real world. Beautiful
Jesus! All this time and the feels one gets when listening to the song never leaves! That day is tattooed in my memory, and when my memory fades, it will always be there. Bloc Party to me is what Smashing Pumpkins was to my older brother.
Beautiful song and video. My daughter is about to be a teenager and I'm filled with so much dread about it, but at the same time I realize that I have to let go a little bit, let her experience things both good and bad. But you want to protect your kids from heartache, from feeling bad. But ultimately you can't, and probably shouldn't. There are valuable lessons even in the tough parts of growing up.
I know how you feel, I had too,..tough, but we had the times of our lives,.. time to let them I guess,..if you have done a good job as a parent, no need to worry
Oh my god. I love this song, I've loved this song for 18 years now. This video adds so much more meaning and relevence to the song. It brings it into the modern world whilst also reminding me of the feelings and growing pains I had when the song was first released. Thank you Bloc Party.
33 years old now and this was my favourite band and my favourite song for some good years. Around end of high school and beginning of college this was my jam.
Bloc Party has been one of my hardest musical break-ups. I wish it was possible to have the original line-up instead of the current one that appears to me more obsessed with old Bloc Party than I am
When i first heard this album i fell in love with it. The drumming to the melodies to the amazing vocals and still to this day it's in my top 5 albums of all time. It just had everything. Peace
Have loved BP for years, since first album. Currently selling tickets to see them this weekend as not even my brother will go with me, and I'm too anxious to go alone anymore. I truly truly recommend anyone see them if they have the chance. Great, great band and timeless music, thank you BP.
Time really flies . We all lived similar experiences , all over the world , in any country , this is like a fcking hymn to youth , all of our old glories , made into a song .
I haven't even started this yet and I just know it's gonna hit me. Listened to this album growing up with my mom. We would go to the snow and play the entirety of Silent Alarm and this other album by a Canadian band Mobile. Still a favorite album of mine to this day. Thanks for something special ❤
I figured it out. The drums are the relentless march of life, the physical permanence our every waking moment ties us to.

Wouldn't it be fantastic to go back to our school days just to see how great they really were with what we know now that growing up is not what we expected it to be.
What a beautiful music video. I still remember going to FNAC to buy the CD Silent Alarm. I was 15 years old and Bloc Party was my favourite band. Thank you for all the great memories. Your music will always stay with me.
strewth - im 40 yo now - silent alarm is still one of my fav albums of all time! this song wasnt one of my bloc party favs back in the day, but geez its aged so so so well. easily one of all time Bloc Party favs now! good work EE for picking it up
The first time I heard the song, my son was 16 years old. Next year he will be 30. Time is ticking. Hold your son in your arms and tell him how much you love him.
Nunca pensé en volver a ver un nuevo video de esta canción 🎉 y menos siendo un tema del Silent Alarm, fue en su momento y seguirá siendo una de mis canciones favoritas.
By far, it's one of the best releases of the Aughts. The live shows were unreal largely because the lyrics are so melodic and memorable and everyone could scream their brains out!
As someone who has been a fan of bloc party from day one, this is incredible. I have a 13 year old son and, it's hard to articulate but I see my son living his life but to my soundtrack growing up. Hard to explain but I fucking love it!
This song is so special and nostalgic to me and the music video captured it perfectly well done to everyone involved, haven't had an emotional cord struck like that within myself in a while but that got all the feels going ❤❤
Years go by, people come and go, your heart breaks and blooms again and this track still hits that spot in your heart that not just brings back many memories but also makes you feel new ones based on what's currently going on in our lives ❤
I used to be so afraid of the world, terrified to be who i was, and then i heard a Bloc Party song one day and it was as if a switched flicked on. Finally, i didn’t care who saw me, what they would say, because it'll be okay. Whatever you feel will pass. Whatever is stressing you out is temporary. That's how significant this song is, this band. They're life changing artists and there's so much beauty in the world. Run free, breathe, feel the sun, don't take any of this for granted. Will you ever get to see it again?
One of my favourite bands from the passed 20 years has shown us that the invention of cellphones and the internet have ruined the "way things were". If I didn't have to send emails in the morning for work, my phone would be in the lake. I truly love Bloc Party and loathe the internet, so this nostalgic video is right up my alley. I firmly believe that childhood's and childhood innocence are things of the past due to technology, which fucking sucks.
Regards from Indonesia. 🇮🇩🇸🇩🇮🇩🇸🇩🇮🇩🇸🇩🇮🇩🇸🇩🇮🇩🇸🇩🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉 Sadly, Matt Tong & Gordon Moakes are no longer with the band. I still remember the very first original video clip in the park, holding their camera. Suddenly, Bloc Party went big, but Matt & Gordon departed from band. It was very devastating for me. But, the band must go on. Good luck for you, Kele & Russel. Please make an album just like Silent Alarm again & the prior, your EP.
This song reminds me of the time i lost my son......he wouldve been 20 this summer. He was called Jak. A little while later , my girl left too, Becci. Never got over it I miss them. 💔
My older brother died at 18. Would've been 24 this March. I'm sorry for the pain you've been through. This is what music is for. Our loved ones will always remain in our heart and we have to live on for them and ourselves. ✌💔
This song, and other songs from Silent Alarm and A Weekend in the City helps me from my High School and College days... I can't thank them enough for helping me thru rough times during those days.
Oh my God, this debut album came out when I was 15 and I listened to it so much from start to finish. Now, 18 years later - 33 year old me is hearing this played over some kids at school taking me right back through memory lane, oh man, the nostalgia and feels are hitting so hard right now. Bloc Party introduced me to one of my favourite genres of music - indie math rock. I have tears in my eye, and just found out that I'm gonna be a dad! I hope this album continues to inspire generations to come. Much love ❤
I'm 33 as well and have fond memories as a 15 year old listening to this. Takes me back to a very specific party at a pivotal moment in my young life. Congrats on becoming a dad, got 2 myself (started much younger than you though) and its the hardest amazing thing you'll ever do. Enjoy! And don't forget to play your baby this fine music from our childhoods.
@@technicolourdream Ahhh, God bless you and your family, thanks for your kind wishes and words, means a lot man. Yeah, I'm scared but excited, nervous but joyous, it's a bit crazy haha, I just hope I'll be a good father, typing this out here is making my heart beat faster, I think its still taking time to settle in my head lol. Thank you, I will definitely make sure my music taste passes on to my children and maybe my guitar playing skills too haha, bless you man 🙏
I don't think there's a band who remind me more of being in school than Bloc Party, they connected with me right at the point being shown in this video, right when you're experiencing so many things for the first time so intensely. Hearing them always tales me back to those feelings
Yes! I came across this, after hearing It on the EE advert, ..... Wow. Amazing how all the good songs just grab ya! Hairs on the back of your neck moments!! Wow....
silent alarm is one of the best records ever made
one of the greatest debut albums of all time.
I 100% agree with you, this album is a masterpiece
On par with turn on the bright lights masterpiece
@@TKbeatwerkThat's the first album that came to mind when I think of similar successful debut albums but I actually prefer Interpol's follow up Antics.
yep. approx the same time Arcade Fire - Funeral and Editors - The Back Room. And I hate to say none of them replicated the promise of their first albums.
I’m now 40 remembering listening to this song like it was yesterday, what a tune
You aren’t the only one
feel ya on this one
This band will always have a quite important place in my heart.
Same here
Same here brother
Same here my friend.
Absolutely!
I'm a black guy from southern Georgia USA this has no business in my fuckin music library yet....one of my favorite bands of all time.
I just spotted something extremely random. At 1:35, the girls are dancing outside a row of shops. The shop pictured is in Glasgow (I walk past it from time to time) and it’s the shop used as Navid’s store in the legendary Scottish sitcom Still Game. Lots of scenes were filmed on that little bit of street too. Just a small piece of trivia for anyone interested haha. Anyway, great song!
I knew some of this video was filmed in Scotland, even the way some of the youngsters were taunting each other I could tell that Scottish accent lol
you have a great eye man!
The video captures the British comprehensive secondary school experience. Feels like forever when you’re going through it but, 14 years since I took my GCSEs, I can’t believe how quickly it went
22 for me. Seems like yesterday. Great soundtrack to life in secondary school
I hope this music continues to inspire young minds like it did with me when I was at high school 17 years ago. I hope the future is kind to these kids
Matt Tong on the drums is magic 👏
Hell Yeah ! Tong is a badass !
Probably one my favourite drummers of all time
He is 1/4 of bloc party
I'm obsessed with what he's doing on the cymbals especially from 2:03 until about 2:45. Doubling the rhythm guitar line with hi-hat taps, and then the emotional crescendoes of the washes... ah. Ah. AH.
you mean, Hideo Kojima
I'm 55 and this ad campaign has me in tears. Seeing these children with their highs and lows, joys and pains, laughter and tears, brings me back to my youth, and reminds me to be more caring and forgiving of the children of today, because we were just like them once 🥲
I'm 3 years older than you and I'm exactly the same. We were just like them in our day but without the pressure of social media.
Yeah old man
@@oscararagon6648 I've got a cat called Oscar, he's had his balls removed as well😉
Share that thought.
your comment brought a tear to my eye, I hope these kids have a safe, enjoyable and lasting youth and I hope the future is kind to them
i am definitely not crying right now
Me neither
Nope, it's just raining on my face.
Song has always made me cry ❤
I'm not crying, you're crying!
It's just the dust in this room honest
For those who don't know, this is the extended version of an ad that was made for EE (telecom company)
I remember seeing that on tv 😂
oh no...

If you liked school, you'll love work.

captures all of the beauty and ugliness of growing up...absolutely love it

feels like im back being a junior high school student when i fell in love with Bloc Party. take me back in that time, please.

Thank you Bloc Party.
How can you love a song for 20 years when its only 18 years old?
I love this song too, but isn't this just an ad? In the UK anyway it's for a phone network
Exactly, I share your feelings ❤ I’ve 43 years old and I’ve the impression that what I lived alone, is generalized to a whole generation.
@@Manicmunstuhtypo dude, simple typo
33 years old now and this was my favourite band and my favourite song for some good years. Around end of high school and beginning of college this was my jam.
Possibly the most beloved bloc party song among old blocheads
True ❤
such a joyful video, youth vibe in all it's glory, thank you so much for this
My favorite Bloc Party song EVER!
Bloc Party has been one of my hardest musical break-ups.
I wish it was possible to have the original line-up instead of the current one that appears to me more obsessed with old Bloc Party than I am
I learned about this song in high school and this video brought back all those memories, 13 years later
この曲の新MVを2023年に観ることができるなんて…
なんて幸せなんだろう。
When i first heard this album i fell in love with it. The drumming to the melodies to the amazing vocals and still to this day it's in my top 5 albums of all time. It just had everything. Peace
in my top5 as well^^

Aww. Bless you. Where do you plan to see them?
Naww thanks! I was going to the Sydney Hordern Pavillion show :)@@lose8447

Time really flies . We all lived similar experiences , all over the world , in any country , this is like a fcking hymn to youth , all of our old glories , made into a song .
One of the best songs, ever. Glad they made a new video to a new gen.

and the bass?
@inc9650 the hum of the universe perhaps; the eternal backdrop our lives play out against..
Wouldn't it be fantastic to go back to our school days just to see how great they really were with what we know now that growing up is not what we expected it to be.
Very nice video and a cool song ! Bloc Party all the way 💚
WE LOVE U BLOC PARTYYY!!!!!
What a beautiful music video. I still remember going to FNAC to buy the CD Silent Alarm. I was 15 years old and Bloc Party was my favourite band. Thank you for all the great memories. Your music will always stay with me.
Moved, this song brings me back to my teenage years. While still having lots of fun and not thinking about too many bills. Good old time
This video was super positive
A weekend in the city is a 9/10 too
Beautiful song. The drumming is very technical too. Love it.
strewth - im 40 yo now - silent alarm is still one of my fav albums of all time! this song wasnt one of my bloc party favs back in the day, but geez its aged so so so well. easily one of all time Bloc Party favs now! good work EE for picking it up
It's cool that it's possible to make a video for a song that is over 15 years old and for it to connect so well.
One of my favourites.... ah.... nostalgic and perfect
Such a legendary band that has always delivered on both the music and the visuals (and continues to do so).
I have a son. 16 years old. By God, how this video grabs me.
The first time I heard the song, my son was 16 years old. Next year he will be 30. Time is ticking. Hold your son in your arms and tell him how much you love him.
This has been one of my favorite songs for almost 20 years.
Nunca pensé en volver a ver un nuevo video de esta canción 🎉 y menos siendo un tema del Silent Alarm, fue en su momento y seguirá siendo una de mis canciones favoritas.
han cambiado mucho
Que nostalgia esta canción. Me encantó el video. Gracias Bloc Party.
What an absolute, genuine classic of a song this is. So original, so unconventional, so different and yet so utterly brilliant and uplifting. ❤❤
The definition of good music is that it still sounds and means as much after 18yrs
The dull, drab times that were the best of our lives, what a tune and a great video.. perfectly sums up school life in the UK
This song is never gets old
By far, it's one of the best releases of the Aughts. The live shows were unreal largely because the lyrics are so melodic and memorable and everyone could scream their brains out!
I WISH THEY REUNITE 😭😭
As someone who has been a fan of bloc party from day one, this is incredible. I have a 13 year old son and, it's hard to articulate but I see my son living his life but to my soundtrack growing up. Hard to explain but I fucking love it!

My favorite song of all time. Thank you for this!
Such nostalgia, 18 years later. Bloc party sent me a autograph from a competition they had I won also over 10 years ago! So glad this was released!
I used to be so afraid of the world, terrified to be who i was, and then i heard a Bloc Party song one day and it was as if a switched flicked on.

One of my favourite bands from the passed 20 years has shown us that the invention of cellphones and the internet have ruined the "way things were". If I didn't have to send emails in the morning for work, my phone would be in the lake.
I truly love Bloc Party and loathe the internet, so this nostalgic video is right up my alley. I firmly believe that childhood's and childhood innocence are things of the past due to technology, which fucking sucks.
Agree, the internet has mainly ruined humanity!
This Music video makes me feel for people i've never met and my heart ache for memories i've never had. Truly amazing.

Sadly, Matt Tong & Gordon Moakes are no longer with the band.
I still remember the very first original video clip in the park, holding their camera.
Suddenly, Bloc Party went big, but Matt & Gordon departed from band.
It was very devastating for me.
But, the band must go on. Good luck for you, Kele & Russel. Please make an album just like Silent Alarm again & the prior, your EP.
This video made me cry because of pure nostalgia and at the end I just stare at the screen in silence, thanks :)
this is awesome brings back memories when i was only 12 used to skateboard in ajax canada
Definitely unlocked memories for me, starting uni when this came out, best of times back when life was a bit simpler! Great album too
Please come to Forest Hills Stadium, Queens! Or any where East Coast stateside!
This is what being young sounds like…holding my tears
It is a privilege to grow old
ive been in love with this band for over 15 years and i feel in love with their early albums, im so glad they released this music video
Matt Tong on Drums!!!
Goosebumps every time I listen, don't fade away ❤
I was 18 when I first heard this song. I'm 36 now and I still feel nostalgic listening to this song.
Same ages and yeah same feeling as you
OMG new Bloc Party music video for a song which is nearly 20 years old????
This song reminds me of the time i lost my son......he wouldve been 20 this summer.
He was called Jak.
A little while later , my girl left too, Becci.
Never got over it
I miss them. 💔
My older brother died at 18. Would've been 24 this March. I'm sorry for the pain you've been through. This is what music is for. Our loved ones will always remain in our heart and we have to live on for them and ourselves. ✌💔
This song will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart ❤
With so many things happening in the world, congrats to those who are holding on and making it to 2023.. so here we are!!
This song, and other songs from Silent Alarm and A Weekend in the City helps me from my High School and College days... I can't thank them enough for helping me thru rough times during those days.
Incredible tune,bloc party's masterpiece ❤
Timeless masterpiece. I was hoping to see them in the video, even if it was only a glimpse.
memories this brings 2000s :D
I LOVE YOU GUYS AND I ALWAYS WILL BLOC PARTY FOREVER❤️
My fav song for my fav band all of time!!! 👏
This song is perfection
Oh my God, this debut album came out when I was 15 and I listened to it so much from start to finish.
Now, 18 years later - 33 year old me is hearing this played over some kids at school taking me right back through memory lane, oh man, the nostalgia and feels are hitting so hard right now. Bloc Party introduced me to one of my favourite genres of music - indie math rock.
I have tears in my eye, and just found out that I'm gonna be a dad!
I hope this album continues to inspire generations to come.
Much love ❤
I'm 33 as well and have fond memories as a 15 year old listening to this. Takes me back to a very specific party at a pivotal moment in my young life. Congrats on becoming a dad, got 2 myself (started much younger than you though) and its the hardest amazing thing you'll ever do. Enjoy! And don't forget to play your baby this fine music from our childhoods.
@@technicolourdream Ahhh, God bless you and your family, thanks for your kind wishes and words, means a lot man.
Yeah, I'm scared but excited, nervous but joyous, it's a bit crazy haha, I just hope I'll be a good father, typing this out here is making my heart beat faster, I think its still taking time to settle in my head lol.
Thank you, I will definitely make sure my music taste passes on to my children and maybe my guitar playing skills too haha, bless you man 🙏
Not gonna lie I cried man. I hope y’all come to Las Vegas one day to have a show 🙏🏽
❤i just love this band so much.
Block Party should make videos about their golden songs
Yoooooo, this is sick. Refresh and just as amazing!!
INCREDIBLEEEE! This song means the world to me, amazingly done Bloc Party🔥
what a pleasant surpriseeeeee i love this song
I don't think there's a band who remind me more of being in school than Bloc Party, they connected with me right at the point being shown in this video, right when you're experiencing so many things for the first time so intensely. Hearing them always tales me back to those feelings
Yes! I came across this, after hearing It on the EE advert, ..... Wow. Amazing how all the good songs just grab ya! Hairs on the back of your neck moments!! Wow....
