Now that this album is being rereleased on vinyl this will finally be available on streaming services with the deluxe edition! Thanks so much to the uploader for giving me the ability to listen to it on UA-cam for all of these years when nowhere else had it. My hero
"Wizard do you think you can remember what I did with my old mind?" You look around and you say "brother give it time" you look around and you say "wait a second, wait" But right above my clavicle the world becomes so laughably old, it's like I've been here for a decade on my own, you said "it's been a decade and I had enough" And beaches strewn with pulpits and ohms, where the cross is like a spark among your loam, I believe there is a wall of lime and stone by the river And though we share a tongue we can't recount it into words, you cannot spill a vault entirely into verbs, I never meant to make you live it all again I'm thinking 'bout the relative ways, that all I do is age and buried there's a version of me hurting and I'm letting him down I wanna go, I wanna go home, I can't let this one go I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved Wizard I been following a colour but you had to spit it out You said "I never have a fear or a doubt, my world is smaller now but everything is near" And maybe we could rub off every bit of us and store it in a tank I whisper "how much will they pay at BioBank?" you sighing "tissue from the youth of yesteryear…" And bludgeons flailing arcs form a queue, I'm a coward, I'm a devil, I'm a fool, but I never understand the weight of all life decisions Wizard I been thinking 'bout the magic that you said would here prevail, and I felt it when they left you - and I failed and yes I wanna be there when you die I'm breathing for a moment alone, my early self unknown the silences that follow you won't always be the hollow I filled It's easily the best thing I've done, so why the empty numb? I'm thinkin' 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved Oh, I'm thinkin' 'bout the relative ways, and all I do is age and buried there's a version of me hurting and I'm letting him down I wanna go, I wanna go home, I can't let this one go I'm thinking 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved
WAAAHH I keep discovering EE songs that I've never heard of before. I love this band, but they don't seem to like making anything other than Man Alive easily available.
[Verse 1] Wizard, do you think you can remember What I did with my old mind?

i came looking for this after hearing higgs say he wouldnt do this one live and i can really understand why. you can hear him start really getting worn down half way through the song because its just so difficult for him
I don't like the start of it so much, but it really grows on you over the course of the song. I'm still waiting for their first weak track...incredible band
Wizard do you think you can remember what I did with my mind? You look around and you say brother give it time.You look around and you say wait a second, wait.
it's really too bad, this fast talking concept ingrained in most of these songs. They are the greatest musical mind of our time, so late in the calendar and in a way, it's not just right
This is a great song, can you please quietly get off of our song if you're a fanboy who has just come from harry partridge and you have nothing good to say. This person obviously has good taste...
awesome for uploading, how did you get hold of it? why do the Japanese get all the fun? any chance you could send it to me? man alive= best album of 2010
Now that this album is being rereleased on vinyl this will finally be available on streaming services with the deluxe edition! Thanks so much to the uploader for giving me the ability to listen to it on UA-cam for all of these years when nowhere else had it. My hero
honestly. thank you to the uploader for keeping this treasure available for 12 years.
I've returned to this song and this photo so many times. It really is something special.
Take your best headset to the nearest rooftop, smoke a blunt and play the track while watching the city. You're welcome.
"Wizard do you think you can remember what I did with my old mind?"
You look around and you say "brother give it time"
you look around and you say "wait a second, wait"
But right above my clavicle the world becomes so laughably old,
it's like I've been here for a decade on my own,
you said "it's been a decade and I had enough"
And beaches strewn with pulpits and ohms,
where the cross is like a spark among your loam,
I believe there is a wall of lime and stone by the river
And though we share a tongue we can't recount it into words,
you cannot spill a vault entirely into verbs,
I never meant to make you live it all again
I'm thinking 'bout the relative ways, that all I do is age
and buried there's a version of me hurting and I'm letting him down
I wanna go, I wanna go home, I can't let this one go
I'm thinking 'bout my problems
and the way that they will never be solved
Wizard I been following a colour but you had to spit it out
You said "I never have a fear or a doubt,
my world is smaller now but everything is near"
And maybe we could rub off every bit of us and store it in a tank
I whisper "how much will they pay at BioBank?"
you sighing "tissue from the youth of yesteryear…"
And bludgeons flailing arcs form a queue, I'm a coward, I'm a devil, I'm a fool,
but I never understand the weight of all life decisions
Wizard I been thinking 'bout the magic that you said would here prevail,
and I felt it when they left you - and I failed
and yes I wanna be there when you die
I'm breathing for a moment alone, my early self unknown
the silences that follow you won't always be the hollow I filled
It's easily the best thing I've done, so why the empty numb?
I'm thinkin' 'bout my problems and the way that they will never be solved
Oh, I'm thinkin' 'bout the relative ways, and all I do is age
and buried there's a version of me hurting and I'm letting him down
I wanna go, I wanna go home, I can't let this one go
I'm thinking 'bout my problems
and the way that they will never be solved
I keep coming back to this song. It's just so.... good.
This isn't a B-side, fellas. This is pure gold.
Best Band of this century. Thanks for posting!
Yes. One of the best so far...
Millenium
Eon
why don’t they get the recognition they deserve? i wish everyone could discover their brilliant lyrics and musical inventiveness + insane talent
This song, final form, Warm healer are gold for my ears, almost all their songs
Yes yes yes.
Yes yes yes yes
@@reubenkumar7388 thanks!
Warm healer is one of the songs that hooked me in lol
His voice is out of this world.
"Thinkin bout my problems and how theyll never be solved" HEYYAYY
goosebumps
Damn, Jonathan Higgs voice is just wow :D
That range, man!
Naomi Ojok it really is :D
Most innovative band I've heard in years
Wow, such gold. These guys are my inspiration right now for my song writing.
In Birdsong but it's from 2011
Also miles better
most underated song of one of the most underated band ever.
this song gets better as you get older
My favorite song of this band
Underrated track
Underrated band...
Very unique, i don't recall having heard anything quite like it before.
whenever I have one of those days that I don't know what i want to listen to I come back to this song. The lyrics are A+
WAAAHH I keep discovering EE songs that I've never heard of before. I love this band, but they don't seem to like making anything other than Man Alive easily available.
[Verse 1]
Wizard, do you think you can remember
What I did with my old mind?
You look around and you say, "Brother, give it time"
You look around and you say, "Wait a second, wait"
But right above my clavicle, the world becomes so laughably old
It’s like I’ve been here for a decade on my own
You said, "It’s been a decade," and I had enough
And beaches strewn with pulpits and ohms
Where the cross is like a spark among your loam
I believe there is a wall of lime and stone by the river
And though we share a tongue we can’t recount it into words
You cannot spill a vault entirely into verbs
I never meant to make you live it all again
[Chorus]
I'm thinking 'bout the relative ways
That all I do is age
And buried there's a version of me hurting
And I’m letting him down
I wanna go, I wanna go home
I can’t let this one go
I'm thinking 'bout my problems
And the way that they will never be solved, hey
[Verse 2]
Wizard, I've been following a colour but you had to spit it out
You said, "I never have a fear or a doubt"
My world is smaller now but everything is near
And maybe we could rub off every bit of us and store it in a tank
I whisper, "How much will they pay at BioBank?"
You sighing tissue from the youth of yesteryear
And bludgeons flailing arcs form a queue
I’m a coward, I’m a devil, I’m a fool
But I never understand the weight of all, all life decisions
Wizard, I been thinking 'bout
The magic that you said would here prevail
And I felt it when they left you and I failed
And yes, I wanna be there when you die
[Chorus]
I’m breathing for the moment alone
My early self unknown
The silences that follow you
Won’t always be the hollow I filled, hey
It’s easily the best thing I’ve done
So why the empty numb?
I’m thinking ‘bout my problems
And the way that they will never be solved, hey
I'm thinking 'bout the relative ways
And all I do is age
Buried there's a version of me hurting
And I’m letting him down
I wanna go, I wanna go home
I can’t let this one go
I'm thinking 'bout my problems
And the way that they will never be solved, hey
[Outro]
I’m thinking ‘bout my problems
And the way that they will never be solved, hey
I think about my problems
And the way that they will never be solved, solved, no solved
I’m thinking ‘bout my problems
And the way that they will never be solved, hey
I’m thinking ‘bout my problems
And the way that they will never be solved, hey
Right up there as one of their best songs.
Such a weird song, but the lyrics are so damn sharp
I want to decrypt the deep meanings of this song. I attempt. All whilst continuously falling in love with it. Eerie harmony.
This is such a fantastic song! So relaxed! Bit of candle light and your sorted!
damn I love this song. If only it was on streaming.
i got some good news for you.
@@vvarmhealer I am aware. Already got my pre order in on the deluxe version. I legit just ordered the cd from japan as well for the bonus track 😭.
i came looking for this after hearing higgs say he wouldnt do this one live and i can really understand why. you can hear him start really getting worn down half way through the song because its just so difficult for him
Woah... this is unique! EE... please dear god keep going! This is amazing! EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO IS CRAZY GOOD!!!!
This is so incredible, musically stunning, deeply meaningful, and so well sung!
and buried there's a version of me hurting and I'm letting him down
Blows my mind this track what a band
How come Japan gets loads of extra songs like this and Hiawatha doomed???
Honor Cave-Toye I got Hiawatha doomed on itunes
To make up for two nukes
because albums get released later there. its an incentive to wait for the official release rather than import or pirate albums
Summbuddie Hol up
Sad this isn't on Spotify 😩
guess what
Holy fuck, only just found out this track recently. Jawdropping
I don't like the start of it so much, but it really grows on you over the course of the song. I'm still waiting for their first weak track...incredible band
First time I hear, got impressed! gr8 finding. I'll certainly reco!
Gotta be the best Man Alive B-Side
sadly the only song to ever exist
Thanks for uploading this!
Wizard do you think you can remember what I did with my mind? You look around and you say brother give it time.You look around and you say wait a second, wait.
HOW HAVE I JUST FOUND THIS
incredible band!;)
best song yet so unique
I know this is an old comment of yours, but the whole genre under which this song can be classified definitely has the widest range of variety.
when playing live they come on to this playing the background i do believe
What's with artists doing Japan only songs? Why?
waiting patiently for a B-side album...
It's coming
This song is AMAZING ! Someone please put it on Deezer
I wish this was on the Canadian Apple Store
I have no clue what Jon is saying but I like the instrumentations.
Underrated 😂
Oh and whats so funny about that?
3:24 huh? first time ive noticed that
Hello Tyler from 6 yrs ago. I noticed thanks to you... :D
what does he say????
God this song has some similarity to In Birdsong. Some part of the vocal melody.
I love this but I wish it would start.
Interesting stuff.
Godly
it's really too bad, this fast talking concept ingrained in most of these songs. They are the greatest musical mind of our time, so late in the calendar and in a way, it's not just right
Without doubt my fav Everything Everything song followed by My Kz Ur BF and NASA is on your side!
This is a great song, can you please quietly get off of our song if you're a fanboy who has just come from harry partridge and you have nothing good to say. This person obviously has good taste...
@AreYouOnlyBeingNice i was just gonna post the same thing!
also, you got crisis over or hey jude law?

@sollge they do!
awesome for uploading, how did you get hold of it? why do the Japanese get all the fun? any chance you could send it to me?

Well that's the last time I watch a video favourited by Harry Partridge.. lol jk, but this is some seriously weird shit
Fastreading)))

Yikes Isaah that didn’t age well
