**LYRICS**
The wires in the stream
From rubble to my dream
I worry in my sleep
Rococo curves you soothe me
To live inside the frame
And forget everything
A swing inside a dream
And all theyll do is scream
Come back to float away
A few more inches of rain
I worry in my sleep
Rococo curves don’t leave me
To live inside the frame
And forget everything
A swing inside a dream
And all they'll do is scream
We’re waking up
To straight lines
We float away
Bye bye

Whatever's happening in the UK music scene right now, I'm totally here for it.
i don’t think it’s crazy to say we’re watching history in the making 🤷♂️
It's not like UK wasn't at the cutting edge of music culture for the last 50+ years 😅
It's been called crank wave by a few journalists, imo it's like post-punk with proggy post-rock influences
everyone's been calling it the windmill scene, I feel like I'll just call the genre windmill rock
@@GrubQueenMarisa because of your comment i've been calling Squid and other similar bands 'windmill rock' for about 2 weeks now :P make windmill rock a thing!
Crazy how they recorded this entire thing in one take
This is probably my most anticipated record of this year so far
@@bioluminescent5784 beauty is in the ears of the beholder
This AND Hak Baker!
Black Country, New Road and black midi took the cake last year.
This year It's up to you Squid guys. This first single absolutely slaps.
Bright Green Field was mind-blowing. I think this next one might top it. (somehow)
Black Midi needs to get their shit together these last 2 records haven’t been it. And BCNR is over unfortunately.
@@RB-.- bcnr is not over, the remaining members are still making shit and they will have a record out likely either this year or next year
@@RB-.- wtf hellfire was one of the best albums of last year
@@RB-.- are you kidding me?
'Cavalcade' was a masterpiece.
Black Country, New Road aren't done yet. The frontman left the band, but the rest of the band is working on new material and they've even been playing it live. It might work out as well, as some of their unreleased tunes are quite dope.
NEW SQUID!!!
UK's crank wave scene just keeps on delivering. This is like a proggy take on post-punk, absolutely love it
I'm addicted to this song.
Flowing from a Sonic Youthesque vocal performance into Kyussian guitars is something I'm definitely here for.
Best Squid song yet. Gets so much better after each listen!
Reminds me so much of Dismemberment Plan but cranked up to a modern angst level. I adore it
This is absolutely genius! This track is perfect for disconnecting the brain to reconnect to everything else.
Going to see them tonight in Chicago!!!!
The opener that night! Thalia Hall was bumping from the jump. They're so freaking great live.
@@tbangert2584I couldn’t agree more my friend!
Wow… where this band has come from and is going is so exciting. This is an incredible new song and I love Squid so much!
Fantastic lead single for O Monolith
Looking forward for Squid's sophomore record
This music video is an acid trip
Wasn't sure initially, but this song really grew on me
Squid always delivers peak music and the music videos are also so damn perfect
I see reindeer. I hear we wish you a merry Christmas. Love and respect.
There's a serious, progressive maturation going on in this band, and this is an excellent result. The first album was killer; the second will be more so. Really excited about the new album.
Pretty happy to be alive in the squid, bcnr and black midi era
i like how this music video is just humans doing humanly things. nothing too out of the ordinary, just ordinary people doing ordinary things
This song seriously captures an energy unlike anything else I’ve heard. Im so damn excited for this new album, something tells me it’s gonna be something real special. Bright green field was great, this song gives me hope for something genuinely amazing. Squid has at the very least proven that they can stand with and even above black Midi and BCNR.
The UK rock scene is just really competitive right now
@kayo-kun I feel like the competition in the scene is forcing everyone to make the absolute best music they possibly can, and the scene is only getting better and better from it
We've been musically inked, and I love it.
I don't know how I got here, but I've got homework!!!!!
I Havent been so fascinated by such harmonious cacophony since the microphones.
YES I'VE BEEN WANTING NEW SQUID MUSIC
back again to love on this video
She Swing on my Squid till I (In a Dream)
Oh my god.
The album will release on my birthday!
No better present possible!!! Thanks, guys!!!
This is probably my 27th most anticipated record of the decade
Exciting release! Loving the juxtaposition chaos at the end of the video. Hungry for a new album right about now!
Godbless metronomy for introducing me to these guys. They stole the show and I’ve been obsessed ever since
Cool song. Excellent instrumental break with the trumpet. Video is interesting - a cat had jumped into my lap while I was watching, and he was enthralled with the flying birds. The chaotic compositing transfixed both of us.
Fire.
hi jon
If this single signifies anything about the upcoming album it’s that it will be absolutely immaculate.
Listening to these lads on radio 6 for last few weeks. This is quality. I love manic tunes. Try Archie Bronson Outfit for some manic type tunes too !! Xx
This video looks like those random-ass worlds I would randomly make at age 11 playing age of mythology. Love it
The last minute it this is where it's at! Straight 🔥🔥🔥
Best band out right now.
Fucking DOPE. I drove 8 hours to see you guys in detroit and I'll do it all over again to see the next project live.
YES YES YES YES
This is an accurate representation of what my dreams look like
Perfect!
Very cool that Squid and I both put out a new music video today.
YES, FINALLY! I can't wait! It was an honor to have seen you guys in Turin, I hope to see you again soon
Poor ol Sisyphus carrying his box across the court over and again.
This song makes my whole body tingle every time I listen to it.
plz tour america! we are so grand and golden after all ;)
Seeing them (you) in February and I CANNOT WAIT (but I have to)
It seems the next album is going to be a banger too! Can't wait.
Great track & vid!
“Nice song, Squiddy” - Squiliam Fancyson
this is the maddest thing ive seen for years, video is unreal good ✌
glad that you are back. hope to see you guys world touring
Wow this is brillianttt! Loved seeing Arthur crossing the court and Anton made huge hahah this is great! Well done guys!
It really is! I can't Louis at all.
Genius
Can't wait for you guys to finally come around to perform the album in Lithuania! Cannot hold my excitement!
Oh good... 7 hours is just enough time to reformat my brain. Brb 🤯🔨
wow! :o
Am fuckin lovin this . Takes me back to the punk days but more epic !!! 53 years and this is the best bit of music for ages.
wow!
After two weeks of listening this potentially could be song of the year
Excited for this new era of Squid. Solid Band - now bring the tour North side....
Tune slaps. As does the video... Joe Pease (the master) deserves some acknowledgement for the VT :) --- 2023 YEAR OF THE SQUID!
Great song!! Cheers from Spain
You guys don't miss
Man this video is really well put together! I didn't realize it was a composite shot until the elk showed up.
Fantastica!
Temazo,me encanta!!!!
fantastic. bosch like to my eye
Easily my song of the year so far
WOOOW
Bright Green Field is my favorite album in recent history...I'm am PSYCHED about this new album!!!
Oh damn, I have a good feeling about the upcoming album.
I was touched by your experimental cool song!!!
great songwriting!!!
Messed up video!! 😎👌 Can't wait for the new album 🔥
This makes me so happy.
J'adore le concept du clip qui repose sur un même principe que celui de la vidéo conçue il y a quelques années pour la chanson ''My Machines'' de Battles !
fantastic video!
Ive heard a lot of bands all the way to the 80's.... I found these guys last year with the great Cleaner song... then started hearing more and couldnt beleive what I was hearing, I was amazed at the diversity of their sound..... like its a new form of music thar feels very relevant ironically to the original post punks, Joy Division, Bauhas, you name it.... The Fall.... because their music has a cutting edge feel, it proposes a new style that dont know what to call it.... post punk? No wave?.... what is this?...
Can't wait, i'm so excited for it
This video is so so so so so so so cool
My favourite Squid song
It hasn't premiered yet
@@moka8267 There's a live performance of it.
@@sixteenfortytwo3578 Is it titled this? Because many songs changed their working titles
@@moka8267 They played this live before, but there is also a WeTransfer exclusive where they play this in a studio-like setting. It's really good
@@Paulge. can you send the link of this or put below? I'd appreciate that
I was worried you wouldn’t release more music words can’t express how excited I am
What a piece of art.
Such a cool song, which im not surprised about, but gotta say, i love this concept they did for the video its so simple but so interesting
that's brilliant!!
Been wondering when you guys would release something and now I'm positively hyped for the new record. You're one of the most exciting bands on the scene.
Holy smokes!
"what effects do you want in the video?" "yes"
AHHHHHH
Amazing cacophonic beauty in my book 👌😎👍👍👍
WOOOOOO
Respect, really. Respect.
... wasn't expecting that to happen out of basketball. One of the greatest experiences with art that I have is when I think I'm going to hate something and I wind up loving it like this video. I started out I thought I was going to hate it. But it evolves into a weird portrait just like squids music 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶🎶❤️
Wow, I see great inspiration from Zbigniew Rybczynski's oscar winning short "tango" (1981). Great idea to use this concept for music video! And brilliant track!
I've been listening to this songs for months without realizaing it ahad such a great video, it reminds me of an old short animated film Tango (1981), everything is great with this band
Always looking forward to whatever y'all make!!
Great song, it gave me some Foals Antidotes era vibes
Bright green field blew me away....I just hope this is as good.
