Some TV music supervisor is going to discover this song, put in the season finale of some prestige drama, and it'll be the most devastating combination of music and visuals onscreen.
@@CL2- you can love what you want despite it being popular!! imagine you were to never love and enjoy sunsets, or cats ever again! what a horrible line of thought
@@CL2- Thinking you can't listen to a song just because it became popular is probably the most close-minded way of thinking. By making a song more popular artist get better opportunities and have wayyy higher chances to release new stuff
@@CL2- Then some douche will come along and complain about how their indie darling got ruined by being picked up by the mainstream, instead of being happy for the band for getting the recognition they deserve
I seriously don't understand people that say this is "manufactured to be critically successful". What, you're telling me they INTENTIONALLY made it good?
People get that way when smth artsy gets critical acclaim because they see it as pandering, or they get annoyed at critics who show bias to certain genres. This thing is in neither category, it's just a damn good album
the fact that concorde or the plane is rendered artistically in a hyper real art style, shows the distain for manufacture, as it's all art. billy eillish style is how the media machine eats artists alive, bcnr does not want to be billy eilished. and concorde is isaacs public musician persona. it's why he quit concorde will fly fly and isaac will suffer.
Mhhhh I think it similar to the ''Best Seller Formula'' that many, many readers hate. The Best Seller formula follows a pattern in which the writer knows very well the tricks and hooks to make the reading extravagant but controlled, pretentious but tamed and also strong but easy to read and thus not really challenging but rather enjoyable and practical to perceive by a large amount of people. The Best seller formula is something that to this day is very discussed. precisely because many readers say that the writers who assume this formula *do their work thinking of the critics and not that much of their audience*, they know that literary critics love: a hot mystery, some romance, some plot twist and strong and disturbing imagery that often is described with a distant language to make it documentary and not shocking or provoking. And yes, it works very well and it works for lots of writers. In terms of music, I assume that some people say that when musicians do this: long tracks, full of instruments, lows and downs, improvisation, crescendos pompous orchestration and such. Many albums have been addressed like this: ''KidA'' by Radiohead and ''Illinois'' by Sufjan Stevens as examples that come to my mind. I understand what they mean when they say that this is ''manufactured to be lauded by critics'' because it is something that happens and it doesn't have to do with how good or bad the album is, it has more to do with how current occidental critics rank good and bad music. I explain this, having not heard this album yet.
Agreed, it already feels like an post-rock/chamber pop benchmark that nobody's likely to beat anytime this decade, the second after listening to the full thing I thought 'this is on the same level as Patti Smith's Horses, this is potentially a 'within the Top 20' all-time album' ✈️
My first thought when finishing this album was that this album will be held up as one of the greats years from now, incredibly influential and above even the unanimous praise it's already getting.
I've listening the whole record in repeat, just in awe, it's impossible for me to pick a top track whenever I listen to another one it just seems better than the previous one
My friend also introduced me to this at an airport/on a plane. It was really emotional too because it was when we went on our graduation trip so it was very fitting
Lyrics: You're scared of a world where you're needed So you never made nice with the locals But you tied me up slow with your vine, stuck It takes a few years, but they break bones It takes a few months, but our bones heal We're stronger, we tell all our school friends And they sign our cast in the playground Darling, the rest of my body It's yours, then I know you're scared Well, I'm scared too Oh, that every time I try to make lunch For anyone else, in my head I end up dreaming of you And you come to me Good morning Show me the place where he inserted the blade I'll praise the Lord, burn my house I get lost, I freak out You come home and hold me tight As if it never happened at all Good morning Show me the place where he inserted the blade Good morning Where is your light? Am I home? I will hold to my chest Where the wind can exist I will try Not to keep you too long So, clean your soup maker and breathe in Your chicken, broccoli, and everything The tug that's between us That long string Concorde bound to And my evening The good hunter's guide to a bad night Darling, I'll spoil it myself Thanks, you're leaving Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better But darling, I see that you're not really sleeping And I know You're tired Well, I'm tired too Oh, that every time I try to make lunch For anyone else, in my head I end up dreaming of you And you come to me Good morning Show me the place where he inserted the blade I'll praise the lord, burn my house I get lost, I freak out You come home, hold me tight As if it never happened at all Good morning Show me the fifth of the cadence you want me to play Good morning Show me where to tie the other end of this chain
It hurts so much listening to this song. My girlfriend broke up with me a week and half ago and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her since. I relate so much to the emotions expressed in the lyrics of this song (and Concorde). I just want so badly to see her and have her hold me and tell me everything will be okay, but I know she won’t be doing this for me anymore. Our relationship was built on unhealthy premises despite the love we had for one another and I always knew somewhere in me it would have to come to an end. I was using her affirmations as a scapegoat of facing the fears that have been holding me over my entire life. That last line “show me where to tie the other end of this chain”, nothing has ever hit me as hard. I miss her deeply but I know that I need to work on myself so I can do better for the people I love in the future. Don’t know if a piece of art has ever quite touched me the way this song has today.
@@henrypaleveda7760 I’m holding up well, I really appreciate you reaching out :) I have actually indeed found myself making serious change since the break up, and I’m finally truly working on myself. I don’t want to have to go through that experience again. Thanks again for your kind heart
Fuck me this band knows how to make me cry, I’m so sad about Issac leaving but I’m glad he’s prioritising his mental health all the best to him and thanks for the most incredible music I’ve ever experienced
I completely agree, for me it's the best album I've heard since Deathconsciousness, and I'm not really sure which one wins overall yet. This really feels like a once in a decade album.
This is actually now my all-time favorite song from any artist/band. The melancholy and nostalgia from Issac Wood's poetic lyrics to the Traverse Town-influenced motif throughout the song as it crecendos into a fireworks display of existential awakening for the protagonist is simply naught but tearjerking in the most strangely uplifting way possible. They're no longer the world's second-best Slint tribute act. They're even better, I'd argue at this point.
I don’t know how this is uplifting. I agree with the fact this album and that song in particular being a masterpiece but I assume to be in a similar situation as they portray in the lyrics and ball my eyes out when listening to this.
this song has permanently changed something in how my brain works. i dont think the people who i recommend this song will listen to it, or if they do i dont they'll listen to the lyrics, but god this song is truly life-altering i couldn't help but share it with the people i love. for the past month, i played this song first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. i find it brings me comfort. thanks for this
I always thought this! Like I actually rarely like longer songs, they feel like they drag. This song somehow manages to feel half the length it actually is.
@@ericm13456Bit of a different direction genre wise but I get this same sensation listening to Ethel Cain’s material, I recommend songs like “Family Tree” and “A House in Nebraska” off her record Preacher’s Daughter
"i get lost, i freak out, then you come home and hold me tight as if nothing happend at all". this is really.... life changing. just imagine you live on this planet and you always do the worst possible that you can. but you always have the person that calms you down with their words or gestures. the person that always cares about you. really sad to see isaac leaving. love you.
did you notice how this song is about how toxic it is to be dependent on another person in that way? the relationship the song describes isn't a healthy one. i say this as someone who can relate to its lyrics as much as you can. i think that's what makes the song so heartbreaking; the fact that what it expresses is so romantic, and so, so unhealthy.
Isaac’s first line, “you’re scared of the world where you’re needed…” is some of the hardest hitting stuff I’ve heard in my 17 years of life. I’ve recently been out of school for a while because of social anxiety and just other emotional shit you get from being a teenager in high school, my friends are always asking when I’m going to go back in full time and not just after school tutoring and god, this line is really making me feel bad for not seeing them. Thank you so much everyone in the band and, godspeed Isaac, thanks for writing fucking amazing lyrics. Update: I finally went into school today for the first time in about 3 months and it was honestly the best day of school. My friends were very happy and surprised to see me. I see more of my friends tomorrow, and I never thought I would be so happy going to school. I’m so glad my brain decided to work lmao Update #2: I passed 11th grade. It really took some effort because I guess I failed my English class by like 2 points and my teacher didn’t want to show any mercy to me, but I still did it. My senior year starts in like 2 weeks and I’m nervous but excited because I don’t have any big classes. And hopefully I have some damn classes with my friends. Also my summer was incredible. I literally couldn’t have wished for a better time. And for a last hurrah I’m going to an Animal Collective show with my brother and a bunch of his friends!! Update #3 January 9th 2023 I dont know if people really care to see these updates (or if anyone expects to see them) but I’m doing really good. Firstly, ever since my senior year of highschool started back in early September I’ve only been on an incline it seems. I’ve really rooted myself in my friend group and we do dnd and stuff it’s really nice. I also have a boyfriend and just everything with him is going so smoothly it’s baffling to me that I’m blessed like this. secondly, ive been relistening to AFUT for my end of the year album placements and as soon as Concorde started playing I felt like bursting into tears. It reminded me of the days when I would listen to it and Boards of Canada on the days of my afterschool tutoring, and at the end of the classes when I would walk out of the school and see the empty parking lot and the beautiful sunset in the dark blue sky, and the snow on the ground. I’ve never had a song make me feel such a visceral feeling of place, it’s too hard for me to explain but I feel like some of you would maybe relate idk. But anyways I hope y’all are truly doing good and if you aren’t, please use me as an example that you can get better. I know I wasn’t in the worst place but it still sucked so much. So please… if you are reading this and you are lost in this moment in your life, just trust me it always gets better. It has to.
This is one of those rare songs that clicked with me on the first listen. The melody, the words, the dynamics, the intensity, the huge sadness... It's hard to describe but it just went straight through me.
Hope you folks are well. Don’t mean to remind you of what you had to go through but, as a cat owner myself, I am incredibly sorry and hope you guys have recovered.
can't stop listening to this. was walking around in a fishing village with streets and buildings that have barely changed since the 18th century while listening to this, and i'm grateful to say that i can't remove the correlation i have to the winding alleys and leaning storefronts and brick fortresses and seaport cranes with this tune. grateful for this band, thanks for everything isaac, hope you're able to work through your struggles in the near future.
I just love how genuine this song is. Musically pretty simple for BC,NR but with that simplicity it’s able to drive home the emotion and passion in the song.
@@ganibattlebeard imagine telling yourself that AFUT is mid, just because a lot of people praise it and you want to be contrarian 🤦🏼♂️ Just like people saying OK Computer is mid 💀 There are lots of albums you can have different opinions on, but for some masterpieces there's literally no denying that they are amazing, unless you desperately want to be edgy and contrarian.
This album is truly something special. I haven't felt such a profound response to music in years. Most music you listen to you can enjoy and it distracts you for a couple minutes but it ends and you carry on with your life. The first time I listened to this record really struck me and left me with a feeling of catharsis for the rest of the night into the morning after. Its a feeling that I can only hope and wait to experience with music again. As much as you can try and seek it, a release like this only happens once in a blue moon.
@@Gloden damn man, you were not wrong. It took me a long time to listen to it, but holy cow, the swing of emotions throughout. It’s amazing. I haven’t listened to an album since Mesmerize by SOAD that I’ve loved every single song. Thanks.
You're scared of a world where you're needed So, you never made nice with the locals But you tied me up slow with your vine stuff It takes a few years, but they break bones It takes a few months, but our bones heal We're stronger and we tell all our school friends And they sign our cast in the playground Darling, the rest of my body it's yours, then And I know you're scared Well, I'm scared too Oh, but every time I try to make lunch For anyone else, in my head I end up dreaming of you And you come to me Good morning Show me the place where he inserted the blade Or praise the Lord, burn my house I get lost, I freak out You come home and hold me tight As if it never happened at all Good morning Show me the place where he inserted the blade Good morning Where is your light? Am I home? I will hold to my chest where the wind can exist I will try not to keep you too long So clean your soup maker and breathe in Your chicken, broccoli, and everything The tug that's between us, that long string Concorde, Bound 2, and my evening The good hunter's guide to a bad night Darling, I'll spoil it myself, thanks, you're leaving Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better But, darling, I see that you're not really sleeping And I know you're tired Well, I'm tired too Oh, but every time I try to make lunch For anyone else, in my head I end up dreaming of you And you come to me Good morning Show me the place where he inserted the blade Or praise the Lord, burn my house I get lost, I freak out You come home and hold me tight As if it never happened at all Good morning Show me the fifth or the cadence you want me to play Good morning Show me where to tie the other end of this chain
@@Ultra_Fanatical I'm not entirely sure... Based on here and on live performances it's quite clear to me he sings 'that' on the lunch line. But on the 'praise the Lord' one, I can hear both 'I'll' and 'or' in both the studio and live versions lol
Masterpiece 🙌 they basically took all the best bits from post-rock, chamber pop, art rock, Syd Barrett era Floyd and 90s emo, and blended it into an album that just soars above everything else at the moment, ants from up there indeed... ✈️
i've played this song five times now and every single time after the first i've cried i've literally never experienced this with a song before, it's just so beautiful
Beautiful. Listening to this album was a magical experience for me, around about the time Haldern had finished I realized I'd loved every song and second of the album so far, and had a strange unshakeable faith I would continue to. It was such an otherworldly feeling. The last album I can remember feeling the same way about was Deerhunters Halcyon Digest. Just genius.
Unbelievably beautiful track. This is definitely my favorite BCNR song ever. So beautifully composed and it just feels like Isaac's words can hold you up through bad times. His melancholic vocals are so comforting. ♡
This track has been on a daily repeat for me since the albums release. For me, this has such a similar feel and sound to Better Days - Graham Nash, mainly with the saxaphones and piano! Both are absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend listening if you havent!
i thought i would be mad at you guys for abandoning the harsh punky angst of the first album, which when i heard it made me feel seen in a way that no other music in recent years quite has, but i see now that your instincts in going for something softer were fucking impeccable
Same, I generally MUCH prefer the post punk sound of their debut to the chamber pop/00s indie, so I was disappointed when they started going on about wanting to be the next Arcade Fire ... but AFUT is easily the stronger album imo, feels like it's from a group on the top of its game in every respect, and has a kind of emotional rawness that AF lacks for me. This kind of song could easily come off as schmaltz, and maybe for some it does, but I completely buy and feel the emotions here.
I am listening to this song for the first time from my Spotify Missed Hits. I have never heard something that sounds so much like early Bright Eyes (songs from Oh Holy Fools anyone?) which I am a huge fan of. this is incredible. I love it. Instant fan!
La primera vez que escuché está canción tardé mucho en llegar a ella. Me había quedado estancado a medio camino en Chaos Space Marine y Good Will Hunting. Esta canción me dejó con la boca abierta. No atiné a reaccionar más allá de ponerla en bucle. Qué belleza. Qué maravilla.
This song as well as basketball shoes make me feel more emotion than any song I’ve ever heard and it’s not even close. No surprises is a distant third.
When listening to AFUT (I always listen to it all the way through) I may start crying on Concorde, or Bread Song, or even Haldern. But if by then my eyes are still tear free, this song always works to fill them. A more cathartic song has never been written.
Had luck to listen to them live. A souvenir that still shakes me, months later. In this Covid period , a blissful parenthesis. A miracle. Won't be another time (still looking for works to come, the whole group is a gem. But without Issac's presence, it will never be the same).
"And my evening The good hunter's guide to a bad night Darling, I'll spoil it myself Thanks, you're leaving". lives rent free in my head all the time now...
The way I have balled my eyes out to this every single time I listen to it. Isaac I really hope you’re okay. Thank you so much for blessing us with this record.
Some TV music supervisor is going to discover this song, put in the season finale of some prestige drama, and it'll be the most devastating combination of music and visuals onscreen.

Lyrics:
You're scared of a world where you're needed
So you never made nice with the locals
But you tied me up slow with your vine, stuck
It takes a few years, but they break bones
It takes a few months, but our bones heal
We're stronger, we tell all our school friends
And they sign our cast in the playground
Darling, the rest of my body
It's yours, then
I know you're scared
Well, I'm scared too
Oh, that every time I try to make lunch
For anyone else, in my head
I end up dreaming of you
And you come to me
Good morning
Show me the place where he inserted the blade
I'll praise the Lord, burn my house
I get lost, I freak out
You come home and hold me tight
As if it never happened at all
Good morning
Show me the place where he inserted the blade
Good morning
Where is your light?
Am I home?
I will hold to my chest
Where the wind can exist
I will try
Not to keep you too long
So, clean your soup maker and breathe in
Your chicken, broccoli, and everything
The tug that's between us
That long string
Concorde bound to
And my evening
The good hunter's guide to a bad night
Darling, I'll spoil it myself
Thanks, you're leaving
Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better
But darling, I see that you're not really sleeping
And I know
You're tired
Well, I'm tired too
Oh, that every time I try to make lunch
For anyone else, in my head
I end up dreaming of you
And you come to me

It hurts so much listening to this song. My girlfriend broke up with me a week and half ago and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her since. I relate so much to the emotions expressed in the lyrics of this song (and Concorde). I just want so badly to see her and have her hold me and tell me everything will be okay, but I know she won’t be doing this for me anymore.
Our relationship was built on unhealthy premises despite the love we had for one another and I always knew somewhere in me it would have to come to an end. I was using her affirmations as a scapegoat of facing the fears that have been holding me over my entire life. That last line “show me where to tie the other end of this chain”, nothing has ever hit me as hard. I miss her deeply but I know that I need to work on myself so I can do better for the people I love in the future. Don’t know if a piece of art has ever quite touched me the way this song has today.

I have never had (and probably never will have) the opportunity to have that person, but I can imagine how wonderful it must be.
These songs are unforgettable.
Isaac’s first line, “you’re scared of the world where you’re needed…” is some of the hardest hitting stuff I’ve heard in my 17 years of life. I’ve recently been out of school for a while because of social anxiety and just other emotional shit you get from being a teenager in high school, my friends are always asking when I’m going to go back in full time and not just after school tutoring and god, this line is really making me feel bad for not seeing them.
Thank you so much everyone in the band and, godspeed Isaac, thanks for writing fucking amazing lyrics.
Update: I finally went into school today for the first time in about 3 months and it was honestly the best day of school. My friends were very happy and surprised to see me. I see more of my friends tomorrow, and I never thought I would be so happy going to school. I’m so glad my brain decided to work lmao
Update #2: I passed 11th grade. It really took some effort because I guess I failed my English class by like 2 points and my teacher didn’t want to show any mercy to me, but I still did it. My senior year starts in like 2 weeks and I’m nervous but excited because I don’t have any big classes. And hopefully I have some damn classes with my friends. Also my summer was incredible. I literally couldn’t have wished for a better time. And for a last hurrah I’m going to an Animal Collective show with my brother and a bunch of his friends!!
Update #3 January 9th 2023
I dont know if people really care to see these updates (or if anyone expects to see them) but I’m doing really good. Firstly, ever since my senior year of highschool started back in early September I’ve only been on an incline it seems. I’ve really rooted myself in my friend group and we do dnd and stuff it’s really nice. I also have a boyfriend and just everything with him is going so smoothly it’s baffling to me that I’m blessed like this.
secondly, ive been relistening to AFUT for my end of the year album placements and as soon as Concorde started playing I felt like bursting into tears. It reminded me of the days when I would listen to it and Boards of Canada on the days of my afterschool tutoring, and at the end of the classes when I would walk out of the school and see the empty parking lot and the beautiful sunset in the dark blue sky, and the snow on the ground. I’ve never had a song make me feel such a visceral feeling of place, it’s too hard for me to explain but I feel like some of you would maybe relate idk.
But anyways I hope y’all are truly doing good and if you aren’t, please use me as an example that you can get better. I know I wasn’t in the worst place but it still sucked so much. So please… if you are reading this and you are lost in this moment in your life, just trust me it always gets better. It has to.
That's great man, happy for you!
Unsolicited advice from someone who's been through it: delete all your social media. Good luck.
@@bucketiii7581 I will second this advice with the upmost sincerity. Get out and experience the world, your heart and brain will thank you for it.
Bruh good for u but no one cares
@@mohmdjpeg2291 seriously shut up
Probably one of the best songs made, and definitely the best I’ve ever heard.
I am starting to think that this is the best album ever made
It's full of emotions and it's so vulnerable and comforting. Definitely one of my top 10 albums ever
This is one of those rare songs that clicked with me on the first listen. The melody, the words, the dynamics, the intensity, the huge sadness... It's hard to describe but it just went straight through me.
the singing in the final minutes of this track is so triumphant and melancholic at once
agree
this might be the song of all time
The outro is so beautiful I wish the song never ended and that piano just went on forever
So glad I didnt listen to the live version first, had no expectations and it absolutely blew my mind. Basically a perfect song
I just had to put my cat of 13 years down today and this song has been very cathartic for me. Thank you so much Isaac and BC,NR
tell me where you inserted the blade
@@no1aine right into my god damn urethra
sorry to hear, I had to put down my cat of 2 years last October and it was the hardest thing of my life so I know how it feels
Hope you folks are well. Don’t mean to remind you of what you had to go through but, as a cat owner myself, I am incredibly sorry and hope you guys have recovered.
can't stop listening to this. was walking around in a fishing village with streets and buildings that have barely changed since the 18th century while listening to this, and i'm grateful to say that i can't remove the correlation i have to the winding alleys and leaning storefronts and brick fortresses and seaport cranes with this tune. grateful for this band, thanks for everything isaac, hope you're able to work through your struggles in the near future.
did you make nice with the locals?
I just love how genuine this song is. Musically pretty simple for BC,NR but with that simplicity it’s able to drive home the emotion and passion in the song.
I think I physically cannot listen to this song without crying. It hurts but in the most enchanting way.
this is the kind of song i'll remember how i felt the first time i listened to it even when i'm 80 years old
Don't mind me, just leaving my name on this crazy moment in music history
I’ll second that ^^

this album is mid
@@ganibattlebeard 😂
@@ganibattlebeard imagine telling yourself that AFUT is mid, just because a lot of people praise it and you want to be contrarian 🤦🏼♂️
Just like people saying OK Computer is mid 💀
There are lots of albums you can have different opinions on, but for some masterpieces there's literally no denying that they are amazing, unless you desperately want to be edgy and contrarian.
This album is truly something special. I haven't felt such a profound response to music in years. Most music you listen to you can enjoy and it distracts you for a couple minutes but it ends and you carry on with your life. The first time I listened to this record really struck me and left me with a feeling of catharsis for the rest of the night into the morning after. Its a feeling that I can only hope and wait to experience with music again. As much as you can try and seek it, a release like this only happens once in a blue moon.
I feel like I just changed a bit as a person. I stumbled across this randomly and I’m leaving with a new treasure.
Listen to the rest of the album, you won't be disappointed!
@@Gloden damn man, you were not wrong. It took me a long time to listen to it, but holy cow, the swing of emotions throughout. It’s amazing. I haven’t listened to an album since Mesmerize by SOAD that I’ve loved every single song. Thanks.
@@soulandfresh Glad you liked it!
I hope they receive more recognition from this album. It really is some of the best music i’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.
You're scared of a world where you're needed
So, you never made nice with the locals
But you tied me up slow with your vine stuff
It takes a few years, but they break bones
It takes a few months, but our bones heal
We're stronger and we tell all our school friends
And they sign our cast in the playground
Darling, the rest of my body it's yours, then
And I know you're scared
Well, I'm scared too
Oh, but every time I try to make lunch
For anyone else, in my head
I end up dreaming of you
And you come to me
Good morning
Show me the place where he inserted the blade
Or praise the Lord, burn my house
I get lost, I freak out
You come home and hold me tight
As if it never happened at all
Good morning
Show me the place where he inserted the blade
Good morning
Where is your light? Am I home?
I will hold to my chest where the wind can exist
I will try not to keep you too long
So clean your soup maker and breathe in
Your chicken, broccoli, and everything
The tug that's between us, that long string
Concorde, Bound 2, and my evening
The good hunter's guide to a bad night
Darling, I'll spoil it myself, thanks, you're leaving
Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better
But, darling, I see that you're not really sleeping
And I know you're tired
Well, I'm tired too
Oh, but every time I try to make lunch
For anyone else, in my head
I end up dreaming of you
And you come to me
Good morning
Show me the place where he inserted the blade
Or praise the Lord, burn my house
I get lost, I freak out
You come home and hold me tight
As if it never happened at all
Good morning
Show me the fifth or the cadence you want me to play
Good morning
Show me where to tie the other end of this chain
I think that it says “but every time I try to make lunch” and “or praise the lord”
@@Ultra_Fanatical I'm not entirely sure... Based on here and on live performances it's quite clear to me he sings 'that' on the lunch line. But on the 'praise the Lord' one, I can hear both 'I'll' and 'or' in both the studio and live versions lol
@@Lellos_ I’m just going off apple music lyrics, they tend to be mostly accurate
@@Ultra_Fanatical Well, I guess they sound really similar, so if your lyrics are probably more reliable, I'll trust you
This song is also one of the best. Love the piano on this one
Masterpiece 🙌 they basically took all the best bits from post-rock, chamber pop, art rock, Syd Barrett era Floyd and 90s emo, and blended it into an album that just soars above everything else at the moment, ants from up there indeed... ✈️
this.
This song is so incredibly beautiful
これほんとすごすぎる。
泣ける曲に久しぶりに出会った。美しすぎる。この曲を携えるだけで、人生が少し輝く気がする。ゆったりと心に寄り添ってくれる素敵な曲。
アルバム自体聴けば聴くほど素晴らしさが滲み出る
This feels like something that could be looked back on in 40 years as one of the great pieces of art
Maybe one of the most beautiful songs ever holy shit
Dear Isaac, we’ll definitely miss you so much as part of BC,NR. Thanks for all your fantastic lyrics.

i've played this song five times now and every single time after the first i've cried
i've literally never experienced this with a song before, it's just so beautiful
What a beautiful album. This should definitely be considered a landmark record. I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out.
Beautiful. Listening to this album was a magical experience for me, around about the time Haldern had finished I realized I'd loved every song and second of the album so far, and had a strange unshakeable faith I would continue to. It was such an otherworldly feeling. The last album I can remember feeling the same way about was Deerhunters Halcyon Digest. Just genius.
Unbelievably beautiful track. This is definitely my favorite BCNR song ever. So beautifully composed and it just feels like Isaac's words can hold you up through bad times. His melancholic vocals are so comforting. ♡
One of the best albums of the decade for sure
This track has been on a daily repeat for me since the albums release. For me, this has such a similar feel and sound to Better Days - Graham Nash, mainly with the saxaphones and piano! Both are absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend listening if you havent!
Thanks!
first time i’ve cried in a while, best song on the record no doubt
This is one of those rare songs that sucks you in so deep into the emotion that it feels like half its actual length
i thought i would be mad at you guys for abandoning the harsh punky angst of the first album, which when i heard it made me feel seen in a way that no other music in recent years quite has, but i see now that your instincts in going for something softer were fucking impeccable
Same, I generally MUCH prefer the post punk sound of their debut to the chamber pop/00s indie, so I was disappointed when they started going on about wanting to be the next Arcade Fire ... but AFUT is easily the stronger album imo, feels like it's from a group on the top of its game in every respect, and has a kind of emotional rawness that AF lacks for me.
This kind of song could easily come off as schmaltz, and maybe for some it does, but I completely buy and feel the emotions here.
what a feeling, man. Can't even explain how much I love this album
WOW! This has to be my favorite song on the album and one of the most emotional songs I’ve heard in a very long time.
this song needed to be written
Godspeed you Black Country!!!! 💙💙💙
genuinely a heartbreaking yet comforting listen
this song makes me feel nostalgic for a time I haven't lived in yet. this is genre defining music right here
I don't know what it is about 4:30 but it pulls my heartstrings in ways nothing else has before
literally the greatest song of all time
This is going to be one of the best songs of this decade
I hope so it deserves more ears
Only a true master can bluntly shove emotion into vocals and elevate the performance. Wow
I genuinely think that this can can be argued as the greatest song of all time
One of the best songs I have ever listened too, probably my 2nd favorite song of all time actually
Whats 1
@@cuh8571 All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem
@@cuh8571 crank that by Soulja boy is the only better song
this has to be one of my favorite songs about soup
gregg rulez ok!
i listened to this song probably more than a thousand times already. my love for it still doesnt change! this song truly built different
I STILL COME BACK TO THIS SONG! probably would put this song when im dead
I AM STILL HERE
i love this song, if anyone couldnt tell
Goddamn, the flute is like gentle hands pulling the tears out of my eyes
Probably one the best songs of the last 10 years
I would say it is one of the best songs of all time
Best song of 21st century
masterpiece. will miss Isaac's vocals. this song is saving my life rn.
I am listening to this song for the first time from my Spotify Missed Hits. I have never heard something that sounds so much like early Bright Eyes (songs from Oh Holy Fools anyone?) which I am a huge fan of. this is incredible. I love it. Instant fan!
so beautiful
it makes me cry af
thank you Isaac Wood. Thank You BCNR
La primera vez que escuché está canción tardé mucho en llegar a ella. Me había quedado estancado a medio camino en Chaos Space Marine y Good Will Hunting. Esta canción me dejó con la boca abierta. No atiné a reaccionar más allá de ponerla en bucle.
Qué belleza. Qué maravilla.
Welcome back.
*ALMOST FORGOT TO LISTEN TO THIS TODAY*
This one brought a tear to my eye.
Song of the year. Breathtaking. Mouth open, I cry every listen.
Really hearing that Arcade Fire influence in this one
My head hurts from the amount of music I’ve listened to today, but I can’t stop when it’s so good.
This song as well as basketball shoes make me feel more emotion than any song I’ve ever heard and it’s not even close. No surprises is a distant third.
I keep revisiting this song so much. It's sound is just perfect bliss into my ears.
This is the best song of the decade, nothing that comes out in the next 8 years will top it.
Pretty amazing that this is the first song of all time
I Love Black Country, New Road.
When listening to AFUT (I always listen to it all the way through) I may start crying on Concorde, or Bread Song, or even Haldern. But if by then my eyes are still tear free, this song always works to fill them. A more cathartic song has never been written.
Probably the best song from the last 25 years (since Ok Computer)
Almost been a year since this lovely song came out
Bro the ending piano after the chaos of the last chorus is just perfect and never fails to get me emotional
This song makes life worth living
Had luck to listen to them live. A souvenir that still shakes me, months later. In this Covid period , a blissful parenthesis. A miracle. Won't be another time (still looking for works to come, the whole group is a gem. But without Issac's presence, it will never be the same).
"And my evening
The good hunter's guide to a bad night
Darling, I'll spoil it myself
Thanks, you're leaving". lives rent free in my head all the time now...
The way I have balled my eyes out to this every single time I listen to it. Isaac I really hope you’re okay. Thank you so much for blessing us with this record.
i’ve lost track of how many times i’ve cried to this
