Can’t believe its been 5 years since I first heard this song. Even more so after getting married and losing family and friends to death, let people know you love them and be good to each other since tomorrow isn’t a promise, say something loving 💕
I adore how xx speak about love, and also gay love, but without taking it to extremes. And everyday I listen to them, I'm so proud to be enamoured in my life and being enamoured with a person, even I'm not in a gay relationship. love is genderless. proud to live in the same time of xx.
Don't ever stop blessing us ! Both of you have help my spirit develop and grow. Thank you so much ! Bless everyone reading and keep protecting your energy .
Before it slips away... Say something loving I just don't remember the thrill of affection I just don't remember Say something loving I need a reminder, the feeling's escaped me I went looking for it Could have been anyone's kiss Throwing my arms at no one When I gave up, I found love The thought flows through my mind And it's growing all the time I do myself a disservice To feel this weak, to be this nervous You say something loving It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection Feels so unfamiliar You say something loving Without hesitation it hits me, hits me It feels so unfamiliar Before it slips away Your touch stays on my skin I feel it start sinking in Here come my insecurities I almost expect you to leave Were you really looking for me? Try your best to reassure me I wasn't patient to meet you Am I too needy, am I too eager? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know what this is but it doesn't feel wrong I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know what this is but it doesn't feel wrong Did you hear me say it? Say it Did you hear me say? I say something loving I can't hold it inside, the thrill of affection Is only getting stronger I say something loving All my hesitations are fading, fading I feel it taking over Before it slips away Don't let it slip away Before it slips away Don't let it slip away
Cada vez que lo escucho me obsesiono con Say Something Loving, acaba en bucle. Gracias por horas de creatividad armónica vinculada con una emoción que supera las limitaciones humanas. Sublime.
So glad to see an actual lesbian woman, Romy, co-fronting a band that celebrates all love. It's one thing to hire actors that will play gay characters for 30 seconds of your music video (which is still a form of representation), but another to actually live and perform and front as a lesbian woman singing about love, to overcome the fear of how you'll be received. It is inspiring. Keep up the good fight. Edit: I have only heard rumours about Oliver also being gay, but/so I can't know for sure, so I won't talk about it. All I can/want to do is applaud and thank the lesbian, bisexual, and gay musicians that are able to, and choose to, be out and proud.
Sometime around 2011 when I was obsessing over their first record I said this is the best band to come along since The Smiths. I still hold on to that thought three records later. This is beautiful.
I found this song and this group in general only a few days ago, but I'm in love with this music. The vibes make me feel so warm inside, I haven't felt this in a long time, so uh, thank you for existing ❤
Since the first time I heard Romy's voice years ago it has always given me chills. There is something so evocative and raw about it, like you can almost feel what it is she is singing about it.
it is so sad how this ME (millennial generation) rejects its own beauty. This beautiful tune will never reach major commercial success. Back in the early 90s or 80s this would have been a huge hit.
I do feel very sorry for millenials and Gen Y and I do agree if there were still chart shows and less accessibility to everything I'm sure this would have been one of those hits. Although I love old music, it does irritate me when people say oh back when music was good. There is a lot of great new music it's just harder to find among the limitless access range of internet channels.
This song is exactly what I feel after 15 years of marriage. If my husband said anything loving I really think I would stroke out. I have begged for kind words but didn't say what I needed correctly. I love him I would not stray but the sound of affection has been gone for 14 of the 15 years!!! Love love love this song..
This song is so wonderful, I love their voices, their lyrics, the melody, even after all these years I still get goosebumps when I hear this song. Thank you for touching my heart.
I am so happy that nowadays we are trying to be more open about gay couples, and we need to see more of them in films and art in general because it still feel a little bit weird to me seeing this, but i know that it's just because culture always tries to tell us that only couples made by a man and a woman are normality, while it's not. Love the video!
This song makes me feel like running out in the middle of the night into the cold air and empty streets, in only my night dress and a coat, with my long hair loose.. Until im into the arms of my lover, who doesnt feel the same.
this video is the only thing that makes me think music hasn't lost its ineffable emotion charge, that seemed so alive in everything released in the 90s.
i heard this on Triple J this morning and I had to listen to it again. Closed my eyes & listened to it. Mesmerizing mix of music and voice. Tears to my eyes.
this is one of the song my friend left for before he died, he didn't asked me to listen to this song but his last bio on whatsapp was 'say something loving xx' after he died i check what that means and led me to this song. Cheerish ur loves one while u can
I played this song in the car with my boyfriend and it was both our first time listening to it. He grasped my hand firmly and told me that he loved me, no matter what.
Before it slips away Say something loving I just don't remember the thrill of affection I just don't remember Say something loving I need a reminder, the feeling's escaped me I went looking for it Could have been anyone's kiss Throwing my arms at no one When I gave up, I found love The thought flows through my mind And it's growing all the time I do myself a disservice To feel this weak, to be this nervous You say something loving It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection Feels so unfamiliar You say something loving Without hesitation it hits me, hits me It feels so unfamiliar Before it slips away Your touch stays on my skin I feel it start sinking in Here come my insecurities I almost expect you to leave Were you really looking for me?

Germania Cuesta indeed! being a little middle aged these days xx take me right back in the best way. think they're a bit awesome...original and out there. works for me
Wow, I didn't even realize this was a single; I just Googled it because it's my favorite song from the album (and this is one of the few albums I have EVER heard that fails to have even one bad song).
I don't know about your sister and these people lives' and well, I don't mind, it's not my business! I'm just talking about the videoclip, no matter if the couples are real or it's acting, didn't even thought about it hahah! cheers to your sister!
Oliver's smile is everything 2:55
It's kinda weird to see him smile tho :'D
Bárbara Miranda What about 3:21
Bárbara Miranda he has a damned cute smile :'D
Bárbara Miranda BR?
I fall in love with oliver, is so atracttive and cute, and...cute, and his voice is amazing.
Their music makes me feel like I miss someone
Candice Swanepoel wow..so true!!!
That’s crazy. I was thinking about that when I first listened to this song. Now I know it ain’t just me. 😅😂
the past
I miss u to
That's what it is, well worded. x
this album is perfection. every track has the capacity for being a single
Gustavo Ladeira sim
YEES
except for test me. i can't really see how that would work as a single lmao
I like the album a lot but I don't think it quite matches the genius of the previous one.
The trio have such a rare unique dynamic.
Oliver’s voice is just so enchanting, somewhat sensual and just so dreamy
yes 😰😩
I Can't remember hearing a song that so vividly conveys the fragility of human emotion with such tenderness, both sonically and visually.
Perfectly put
It’s making way too much sense, specially post pandemics…
It is incredible how their simplicity perfectly works. So satisfying
Pure talent doesn't need to hide behind overly complex music. Songs incredible!

Can’t believe its been 5 years since I first heard this song. Even more so after getting married and losing family and friends to death, let people know you love them and be good to each other since tomorrow isn’t a promise, say something loving 💕
Can't help but falling for Oliver

proud to live in the same time of xx.
Hear hear. Love is genderless.
What would be an extreme?
@@pardalita Ram ranch
the last 4 seconds.... 💙
Thought the same
J0s3y Boyy the best of this video
just like sex
J0s3y Boyy It's a joke. She is lesbian.
Sasi Var ¿Really? :c
Oh my god, Oliver's smiles at 2:58 and 3:23, I swear the things I would do to meet this man and just tell him how much I admire him and his music....
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassss, I love to see his smile. I love him.
Now I have to listen to Lips, and then the rest of the album, and then maybe the other two hahaha
I totally get the feeling hahaha
hahaha that's exactly what i did
sameeeeee
Listening to it on repeat over and over.
I dieeeed with the final kiss
It's soo cute
me toooo!!!
lol
fucking spoilers
Dorian Emin-Jeong sorry lol
If you're single, this song makes fall in love of a future lover.
You said what I felt before I met my first bf
Oliver is seriously good looking
abbbb soo lutely!
Don't ever stop blessing us ! Both of you have help my spirit develop and grow. Thank you so much ! Bless everyone reading and keep protecting your energy .
His voice makes me wanna die in peace. Play this at my funeral !!

Before it slips away...
Say something loving
I just don't remember the thrill of affection
I just don't remember
Say something loving
I need a reminder, the feeling's escaped me
I went looking for it
Could have been anyone's kiss
Throwing my arms at no one
When I gave up, I found love
The thought flows through my mind
And it's growing all the time
I do myself a disservice
To feel this weak, to be this nervous
You say something loving
It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection
Feels so unfamiliar
You say something loving
Without hesitation it hits me, hits me
It feels so unfamiliar
Before it slips away
Your touch stays on my skin
I feel it start sinking in
Here come my insecurities
I almost expect you to leave
Were you really looking for me?
Try your best to reassure me
I wasn't patient to meet you
Am I too needy, am I too eager?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is but it doesn't feel wrong
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is but it doesn't feel wrong
Did you hear me say it?
Say it
Did you hear me say?
I say something loving
I can't hold it inside, the thrill of affection
Is only getting stronger
I say something loving
All my hesitations are fading, fading
I feel it taking over
Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away
Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away
Brasileiros também curtem essa maravilha! Que banda, que vozes maravilhosas! Amo demais!
today. I can’t help but fall in love with them all over again.
It has that special capacity of the XX's music to literally get inside of me. From the minut 3:20 til the end its a TOTAL BLAST.
'Before it slips away' is a sample from 1976 song 'Do you feel it' by the Alessi Brothers
My goodness can’t believe I never gave myself the chance to listen to this album. Amazing
I absolutely love how every single one of their videos are unique but also just simple and cute at the same time. Amazing job as always!
so true, they are so fresh :)
Cada vez que lo escucho me obsesiono con Say Something Loving, acaba en bucle. Gracias por horas de creatividad armónica vinculada con una emoción que supera las limitaciones humanas. Sublime.
i want a music video for Replica😭
amen
bath Amen! And I cannot find a video of it!
i love that track!
Replica and Tides from their previous album
are my absolute favorite songs 👏🏼
REPLICA IS THE BEST

can we all agree that the last four seconds are the best?!
NO
My sister is in this video 💖
Kirilol Who?
She is the blonde at 2:28
Nobody cares.. my dog is in this video.. no dog cares..
@@KiriWiriy wow your sister is buddha
Kiri name ?
All songs on constant replay. All albums. You guys are amazing. Never forget that!
i used to think I loved the xx because of her voice but damn, his voice is insane on this album.
Just listen to the song is not enough, until you watch the video. Then you can't get enough of it
Devita H. Dinah I actually didn't like this album until I saw the video for on hold. Then I just snapped. It jumped into my obsessions.
Wistful Studies Yep, the video is like a trap door. Once we get in, we can't get out of it
Devita H. Dinah right :P. They just did such a good job with this vintage aesthetic.
I've been listening to this song on repeat for the past tow days. I'm in love.
I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE
Anna Neves SAME
SAME
SAME
Not sure what you mean by clicking? What did you click? On like or what???
She meant on the video
They are all a bunch of cuties. Have to admit that I'm developing a crush on Oliver.
Jordon Early aren't they just?☺️ and oliver is beautiful!!!
+Lola Taylor made
just your love..
HAHAHA I was thinking about the exact same thing when the video ended!!!
This is the song that made me get the album. When the beat kicks in...it's f-ing magic.
This is so beautiful and so is the whole album
Since the first time I heard Romy's voice years ago it has always given me chills. There is something so evocative and raw about it, like you can almost feel what it is she is singing about it.
it is so sad how this ME (millennial generation) rejects its own beauty. This beautiful tune will never reach major commercial success. Back in the early 90s or 80s this would have been a huge hit.
Good! Let this generation have their top 40. Save the intelligent music for us!
Yeah this is art. They created art to create art not to get fame that's why it's good and not as popular
Maybe people of this generation like diffrent music than you? Just a thought
I do feel very sorry for millenials and Gen Y and I do agree if there were still chart shows and less accessibility to everything I'm sure this would have been one of those hits. Although I love old music, it does irritate me when people say oh back when music was good.

I love him I would not stray but the sound of affection has been gone for 14 of the 15 years!!! Love love love this song..
Well... if nobody says something loving, then I always have this song.
i someday hope to be cool enough to end up in a music video for the xx lmao
Dean Griffin 😂😂😂
who knew you could have a transcendental experience while watching a music video
Next single Dangerous, pleaaaase!
Edipo Monteseu Best song
Edipo Monteseu replica first!
yessss pls my favorite
Dangerous is the biggest song The xx has ever done. That being said, Replica is a piece of genius
Edipo Monteseu yesssss
Oliver's voice already melts me in the very first sentence, what an album!
I've never been so in love like I am with the xx.
Oliver, you make me want to be that microphone.
haaaah
Thx
I thought it was just me
2020 anyone?? I miss them so much
This song is so wonderful, I love their voices, their lyrics, the melody, even after all these years I still get goosebumps when I hear this song. Thank you for touching my heart.

Não me canso de ouvir essa música ❤❤
this video is the only thing that makes me think music hasn't lost its ineffable emotion charge, that seemed so alive in everything released in the 90s.
this song is now my anthem. I feel comforted and filled with love and romance and peace when I sing it to myself. thank you The xx for this beauty.
7 years ago this masterpiece was released
Today i just remember what i used to listen this song in MTV! The nostalgia is very big🔮💔
Nostalgia is still here!!!!! I miss so much 2017 and 2020😭the time passed so fast
I literally stopped studying just to watch this video
Claudia Moreira hey ! me too!

“Don’t let it slip awaaaaay” I heard that quote in Sade - Sweetest Taboo song with the same tone of voice , is incredible
They listen to their fans! We ALL wanted this as a video!!! 😩😭
How dare anyone dislike it? How dare you? Each their song is a masterpiece ❤️
no existe nada mejor que una de tus bandas favoritas saquen vídeo de la cancion que mas te gusto de su disco...
Those beats @ 1:55 ...
Thr beginning of this song is magnificent.
i'm crying so hard 😍😭

Love the aesthetics of this video !
I'm so hooked to this album that "Lips" immediatelly started playing in my mind after watching this.
i can relate to this song so much...
also, oliver's voice is perfect
As a South Londoner I'm proud of this band.
I just discovered this band, and I am just speechless. It is crazy how awesome their sound is!
Oliver smiling is my favorite concept.
the lyrics are so resonant and powerful, masterclass
I feel totally intuitive when the 1st verse hits
I played this song in the car with my boyfriend and it was both our first time listening to it. He grasped my hand firmly and told me that he loved me, no matter what.
AYYYYY!!! MY HOME TOWN!!! Wandsworth ;). ( 0:30 ) my mums friend taught Jamie in primary xD
2:25 guitar part scratches the part of my brain that I didn't know I have

Before it slips away
Say something loving
I just don't remember the thrill of affection
I just don't remember
Say something loving
I need a reminder, the feeling's escaped me
I went looking for it
Could have been anyone's kiss
Throwing my arms at no one
When I gave up, I found love
The thought flows through my mind
And it's growing all the time
I do myself a disservice
To feel this weak, to be this nervous
You say something loving
It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection
Feels so unfamiliar
You say something loving
Without hesitation it hits me, hits me
It feels so unfamiliar
Before it slips away
Your touch stays on my skin
I feel it start sinking in
Here come my insecurities
I almost expect you to leave
Were you really looking for me?
Try your best to reassure me
I wasn't patient to meet you
Am I too needy, am I too eager?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is, but it doesn't feel wrong
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is, but it doesn't feel wrong
Did you hear me say it?
Say it
Did you hear me say?
I say something loving
I can't hold it inside, the thrill of affection
Is only getting stronger
I say something loving
All my hesitations are fading, fading
I feel it taking over
Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away
Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away
I love the grain and grittiness of the new videos. So natural and fits the songs so well
I am in need of this song everytime since it came out. Pure addiction.
OMG YAS THE XX, LANA DEL REY,LORDE MY 2017 IS BLESSED
You don't put the xx and Lana del Ray on the same level now
+Ray2FEAR hahha right
Ray2FEAR um excuse me these artists mean alot to me and helped me with my scurry anxiety if you have any problem then just move along
I'm just saying the xx is on another level than Lana
x2
This song says more than I ever could to anybody. ❤️
Everything But the Girl vibes, millennial ones. Love it ♥
Germania Cuesta indeed! being a little middle aged these days xx take me right back in the best way. think they're a bit awesome...original and out there. works for me
Wow, I didn't even realize this was a single; I just Googled it because it's my favorite song from the album (and this is one of the few albums I have EVER heard that fails to have even one bad song).
OMG I ALMOST CRIED I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
You are strong, I did cry, I am
Olivers smile at 3:21 gives me LIFE
Que triste não ter dinheiro pra ver vocês no Lolla 😥
Julia Sobral ne 💔
Kau Silva Só de pensar que foi ontem o show aliás que show maravilhoso 😍
Literally in tears right now. The wife and I are having problems and the thrill of affection is so rare...and I wish I heard her say something loving.
Replying to my own comment...how sad. But I just want to admit that I could be such a better husband. My wife is awesome...
I hope it turned out okay for ya.
I LEFT CLASS TO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW
Ani Rose is it worth it? haha
Rayden Roi I can assure you it was
Music are far more cool than school
Rayden Roi especially a band of this musical caliber
I like the vibe that they are emitting its so unique
One second in and you already know its an xx song. Amazing as always.
same-sex relationships + video games culture... this is making me so happy!!!!! thanks for this beautiful video
captainaubergine the two girls aren't together in real life tho. One of them is my sister and she has a bf lmao
I don't know about your sister and these people lives' and well, I don't mind, it's not my business! I'm just talking about the videoclip, no matter if the couples are real or it's acting, didn't even thought about it hahah! cheers to your sister!

I don't need anyone to say something loving. Single. Love it.
One of the GREATEST music videos I've ever seen. I literally FELT it deep inside my soul (by watching it).
