bloc party = life. literally. this song is just so, RIGHT in every way. the context, the lyrics the melody. the performance just makes it that much better. thanks for another one kele.
One of the most beautiful songs to come out in the last 5 years...in the mainstream scene, underground scnene...all around scene...this is a picasso! a masterpiece!!!!
This song really does sum up so much in just a few, beuatiful cords and lines. Love it. "Anxious mothers of the west Teach your sons how to truly love" how very true..
i grew up in Berlin, kreuzberg...is the best place in the world...no wonder that bloc party moved to berlin ; )...if u want to find some out about the place, u just have to google it!!!
This Is a hard song to play live, kele's voice didnt sound the same..like he was strained from singing alot that night...but beautiful none the less...BP
I love bloc with all my soul Beautiful song Beautiful Lyrics It's pretty damn beautiful really "Teach your sons how to truly love" Oh if the world listened to Kele Okereke the world would be a better place
i think it's more about a relationship that didn't go the way he (kele) wanted it to so now he's sleeping with meaningless people and every time he tricks himself into believing he (kele) actually has feelings for this person when in reality he doesn't which is why there is a "bitter taste" and why he has been "fooled again". so he realizes this and decides it's not what he wants to change his ways and continue his search for true love ("the search continues").
la musica è emozione oltre che tecnica....forse lui non avrò una voce tecnicamente bellissima ma canta in maniera coinvolgente e che emoziona il pubblico, che alla fine è quello che conta.....a me sinceramente quelli che sono tutto virtuosismo vocale e magari zero personalità mi danno un po noia
i will tell u why they r so wonderful, it's because they have awesome lyrics that come straight from their heart/experiences making everyone in the world the ability to relatye to their music AND their guitar riffs set the mood for whaever the song is about :) GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY.
hahaha..i'm 100% straight and very comfortable with my sexuality bt i woudn't mind going gay for kele. idk i guess he's got that something(cuz he's the frontman of my favorite band) abt him...lmao
i could not agree more with the person below me. thank you for putting all of our feelings to words. concerned mothers of the west teach your sons how to truly love. oh, the genius of kele okereke
does anyone know if there is a dvd for this concert? they have every song on youtube but the dvd from this tour only has a few of the songs. would love to have all these songs on one dvd!
first two are untouchable, third, while had some powerful moments, fell off a cliff i love this song, but the chorus live sounds strangely stagnant compared to the album version's verve ...i dunno
amazing lyrics at the end ! they are poetic and like meaningful but i dont get why he says teach our sons how to truly love and not daughters . bloody brill kele !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :L

"Anxious mothers of the west
Teach your sons how to truly love"
how very true..
havn't heard a song like this in a long time and feels SOOOO refreshing
wow.
i love this song.
wow.
bloc party, i love you to the moon and back.
i would never EVER bloc you from my party!
Personally, it wouldn't matter to me how bad their lyrics were...their brilliant music makes up for it.
LONG LIVE MATT TONG!!! THAT GUY IS AMAZING!
Lol I'd love to give him a big hug but nothing more :P
i saw bloc party a week ago! although they didn't play this, kele crowd surfed on top of me and i touched his beard! it was scruffy!!!
That riff during the chorus pulls at the heart strings. Best new album I've ever heard.
Magic.
They should make a DVD of this gig! When Bloc Party were majestic and innovative.
Still so good.
Teach your sons, how to trule love
... So beautiful
Gordon. I've uploaded the video of Sunday also so you can see them both being used at the same time on there, works pretty well.
I agree thank you for putting up Rhododendron such an amazing song, listen to it everyday im not stalking you i just regonized ur name lol
i watched sunday its great!!!
i was born in Kreuzberg :)
me too =)
i grew up in Berlin, kreuzberg...is the best place in the world...no wonder that bloc party moved to berlin ; )...if u want to find some out about the place, u just have to google it!!!
This Is a hard song to play live, kele's voice didnt sound the same..like he was strained from singing alot that night...but beautiful none the less...BP
I love bloc with all my soul
Beautiful song
Beautiful Lyrics
It's pretty damn beautiful really
"Teach your sons how to truly love"
Oh if the world listened to Kele Okereke the world would be a better place
The second kit was for the song "sunday", when both kits were used at the same time for that song
@RunkelkrugTheOne in the Ost Bahnhof ! it's a train station in Kreuzberg in front of the Berlin wall
@KidAlphabet - Yes I agree, with this or sunday being the best songs
I love it when he says "I..." with such emotion, and pulls the guitar down when he strikes the chord. Just looks and sounds amazing.
the song i credit for begining my love affair with this band.
I couldn't of said anything better! You took the words right out of my mouth! =] Bravo!
a song!! all are good on a weekend in the city but this is my favorite!! but why are there two drumsets??
Teach your son how to truly love!
thank you for saying some, most of us (americans) know the significance of the district
well that's the problem with crowds at times. They don't know the rythm of the song or the time signature ... still a good song however
sounds so much better than the studio version
Only here you find Matt Tong eating hair during backvocals aha
hey carlos...just to let u know...kreuzberg is in the west part of berlin right next to the east part, but its west berlin...greetings
this song is so meaningful.
basically, navhammond described my life.
without bloc, i am kind of just a....mess.
great song
same here.
does anyone know what kind of shirt kele is wearing?
haha, i live in kreuzberg.
2:27 is the best.....ruleeeezzz song
@KidAlphabet A Weekend In the City was great but Silent Alarm was better. i think we can agree that Bloc Party is amazing ; D
@SexxCInc I know what it is, I just didn't know they played, never been too big on teenage dramas.
Love love love this song!!!!
Matt Tong FTMFW.
Concerned mothers of the west,
Teach your sons, how to truly love.
ohh, the beauty of bloc party.
no, i think it's reading 2007..
i think it's more about a relationship that didn't go the way he (kele) wanted it to so now he's sleeping with meaningless people and every time he tricks himself into believing he (kele) actually has feelings for this person when in reality he doesn't which is why there is a "bitter taste" and why he has been "fooled again". so he realizes this and decides it's not what he wants to change his ways and continue his search for true love ("the search continues").
yo this song is SO hardcore.

who used the second???
i mean a great song!!
i will tell u why they r so wonderful, it's because they have awesome lyrics that come straight from their heart/experiences making everyone in the world the ability to relatye to their music AND their guitar riffs set the mood for whaever the song is about :) GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY.
Kele is a great lyricist. 15 years later this song is still hitting all the right notes.
Concerned Mothers?
:O Cahawks! I thought you were well straight man! Kele's amazing though :-)
hahaha..i'm 100% straight and very comfortable with my sexuality bt i woudn't mind going gay for kele.
idk i guess he's got that something(cuz he's the frontman of my favorite band) abt him...lmao
i could not agree more with the person below me.
thank you for putting all of our feelings to words.

oh, the genius of kele okereke

@SexxCInc correction, they played the Remix of Blue Light. Nonetheless, Bloc Party is one of the greatest bands EVAH!!!
I don't think that 1 line can define an entire song. This song is more about Kele's past experiences than about dissing Americans.
kreuzberg's not a city my friend but a district in berlin... berlin is a city in germany :-)
Strappalegno: I totally agree. Great song from the new album, but overall I prefer Silent Alarm
Concerned mothers of the west!!!
What a great song this is ... and isn't wonderful life is isn't perfect ... or?
Totally, check my Kreuzberg cover;)
Tell what you think please
Sofie
ya... it's a those "really cool kinda" shirts... lol
this song reminds me of my first crush when i was in 7th grade..
oh, and i waved to gordon and he waved back :]
amazing night.
i'll upload this to my multiply..teinkz
I love this song !!! :) Good live performance !
this is my favourite song on the last album
"been fooled again the search continues"
