Took me 3 years to appreciate this song as it is. It's fucking great. No speedup needed.
I would never dedicate that much time for a song to grow on me.
I completely underrated the album when it came out. I'm listening to it now in 2022 realising the majority of the songs are brilliant.
The entire "Hymns" album is massively, disgustingly undervalued. I love the stripped-back instruments. Bass comes alive! "Different Drugs" is genuinely haunting, the most haunting I've experienced since The Cure. Yes.
EVERYBODY LISTEN TO THIS IN X1.25 SOUNDS LIKE THE OLD BLOC PARTY DO IT NOW!!!
Thats wierdly accurate XD Sounds like its straight off of "Silent Alarm"
ikr sounds like helicopter
THANK YOU !!
I hate how accurate this is. It's so slow compared to older Bloc Party!
Holy Shit!
I can't unsee this.
Temptation hides
In the space between
Lord, help me fight
This desire for fire
Words can cleanse and purify
Or tear down a pack of lies
In your presence, consequence
I can't stop trembling
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
For all my good fortune
I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
Once in a while
The urge resurfaces
So we split hairs
As rumours circulate
And there's a need to fertilise
Behind my lover's trusting eye
Like water drops on burning warts
I can't stop trembling
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
For all my good fortune
I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
It took me sometime to get back into bloc party with the few changes but I'm glad I committed with loyalty. I love it all. I hope they continue to grow even in the most stubborn soil which they have sown.
no words can describe how much this slaps.
the new Bloc Party is great, its just that their audience is more familiar with their older stuff and this just isnt that. If there was no context of the "old" bloc party this would be so much more enjoyable for me personally.
well said my friend
I think that some of the new album is decent, but i found that i got bored listening to it - some parts are too similar, some too different. Another problem was that they releaced their best tracks as teasers, but then didnt follow through with that quality in the release; if th y had releaced a range of the new styles then we would have known what to expect!
+Dead and Gone All their albums have been unprecedented.
The problem is: this is not Bloc Party. Half of the band and the sound is gone. Form a new band, under a new name and let the name rest till you sort things out. So yeah Bloc Party is not great anymore, to be honest it has become a shit Bloc Party but an okayish whatever else album which would have been fine.
this was aesthetically pleasing
And I thought Flux had a strange music video. Bloc Party hires the craziest directors xD
+ishvenegas4 strange video m90? ratchet
Another great song... Another great video... LoVe Bloc Party... Great job Kele, Russell, Louise, and Justin... LoVe you alwayZzzzz
agreed man I will never truly understand why critics bashes this entire album it's well put together and I love it
New album, new sound, half the band. Call yourself something else than Bloc Party and everyone would be satisfied. @@mozdrewski3670
Song: good, enjoyable, like the beat.
Video: HAHAHA WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
"Are you hoping for a miracle"
Lol
bruh lol
*_I t s n o t e n o u g h_*
My favourite from the new album! Was great live as well.
I can't believe how good this is ... For being on hymns?¿????
Began as Seedorf.
Ended up as Adebayor.
For once changing the speed to 1.25 really does make it better!
+NoRoomForGiants oooh, im dancing with that speed lol
actually a lot of songs from hymns sound way better at 1.25,same with into the earth.
Lol I just discovered this by accident but I love the video. The craziness reminded me a little of 'eat the rich' by busdriver.
I'm trying so hard to like new bloc party music so far I've warmed up to 3 or 4 songs on the album, I hope Russell lets loose one the next one 🙏🏽😄
Everybody listen to this in x1.25 sound like the old bloc party do it now!!! (2)
Brilliant, as always.
The talent cannot be contained!! I love this band!
the whole album is beautiful and great , I do agree that this bid is odd but I like odd lol
ok, I was watching old Bloc Party Videos today, and Now I find that they just posted this...and im like... I miss bloc party
i don't know about anyone else but i would love to know who the three actors who put themselves through being painted up like this were: kudos to them, they do make this an amazing video
I was looking for the names too but no luck unfortunately
I love it!
Love this piece
His voice is incredible
bloc party getting it done once again not saying it's the greatest but it's a solid tune from one of greatest bands this era
I'm digging it!
amei ♥
Por fin!!!
Great Song! Now im listening to everyday
Bizarre love triangle in a modern way. Love it ❤️
True art at its finest
This is so Metronomy!
Looooove ❤❤❤
Great song and amazing album. You're lost if you can't appreciate it.
Amazing song and video
Fantastic!
Best song from hymns
This is a new sound and i really like this!! Its something new i dont know why the people says then its bad... Its obiusly not like Silent Alarm but come on Silent alarm was 11 years ago... The band needs this refresh.. This songs there are not the best of the album... Please hear all the HYMNS album... A later than that say me if its bad... songs like Only he can hear me are so fucking good and so different too i know
Bloc Party is the best band of world
Can't get much more real than this.
love it.
so experimental
*excited as I get the notification!
Metronomy's Radio Ladio anyone?
+andrelm3 yes sir!
+andrelm3 so fucking truuu
yessss
+andrelm3 yeeep
my first thought too
woah, this is cool
Still waiting for a weekend in the city part II
YES!!
make it 200.000 views, you guys deserve it!
Wow 7years since i almost died in a house fire 🔥
I thought so much about his song and video I ended up connecting it with greek philosophy
I'm intrigued, how?
@@KB-cp4tl I apologize for my tardiness, here's it:
the blue people are the olympic gods enjoying their status and many ways of pleasure easily accesible to them, Kele here acts as a philosopher (I cannot make my mind as to whether he's in ancient greece or a more recent time) and as per concepts of gnoseology he cannot grasp any absolute truth, he's aware of the tragedy which is conveyed by the various shots of him in various states of incompleteness and in the darkness and the lyrics "for all of my virtue, why can I not hold the truth?" and "this path will lead us back, will lead us back to ruin" implying he has been starting from 0 several times trying to understand in absolute terms whichever object he choose.
I'm not quite clear as to who he's singing to, whether to the abrahamic god or one of the goddesses, but most probably to the goddess who's holding the mirror at 1:42, giving meaning to the lines "in you presence, consequence, I can't stop trembling" and "for all of my virtue I would change my place with you", nonetheless this conflicts with the mention of "Lord", maybe implying how much the belief of a creating being varies from culture to culture, cradle of civilization to cradle of civilization.
Whole verse 2 is about Kele wanting to go back to a previous time where he wasn't in search for the unobtainable, wanting to go back to just enjoying because this is taking a toll on his mental state and moral compass.
At the end of the song the visuals accelerate, Kele accepts his position with the line "I've fallen again" but does not say "again" at the end, he "falls" but falls on something to stand on, and in doing so a new branch of philosophy is created, most probably absurdism, it is born.
Kele being the only band member in the video is clearly a dig at all the comments of how this is his album under bloc party's name /s
People who talk about "the old block party" just sound like fans of Skeleton, Helicopter and Banquet, 50% of the band's songs before this album had a much calmer direction like the one we see here. It's a pity that the majority of bloc party "fans" are not fans of the band, they are fans of the silent alarm era, neither more nor less.
Это видео опошлило лучшую песню в альбоме.
Nice track! By the way the part: "I´m falling, I´m falling again,.." reminds me The Killers - Mr. Brightside´s ending...
Lol is true
Still good live !
WTF IS THIS LMFAOOOOOO i love bloc party (mercury is my fav)
It's a good song, reminds me "Metronomy"
This video's like a Bloc Party / Mighty Boosh crossover. I love both.
Dope🗽
These Smurfs are coming.
Speeding this lOOOL
KOOL!!!
yes
MAN I WONDER WHAT THIS IS IMPLYING
also what's with it just being kele...where's the rest of them?
We need more views
This feels like Erasure beat, love it ;-)
I completely understand the meaning of this song. Ally we can do it.
I know many of you find this song not that good and the video weird. but i'm on magic truffles right now and this song is so fucking good, i feel like the whole record shines when your on drugs....
great!
Remind me "Radio Ladio" from Metronomy, i'm the only one?
The 'I've fallen' part is very similar to the 'I never' bit in Mr Brightside.
It's not bad, just different. People look at the new stuff through the prism of previous music. I mean, come on. Who wants to play/listen the same kind of music all the time? I really enjoy it cause it's fresh and has creative video.
This song needs more drums and a louder sound. Love bloc party but the album was a bit disappointing :( still support them though!!!
This song is so perfect, 287.920? wtf !!!
Quizás no sea el disco mas bailable ni festivalero del mundo pero tiene un par de temazos muy buenos
the woman at 0:28 sustained horrible burns during filming. one like = one prayer
This path will lead us back to ruins.
Lust is of the devil.. Its hard
Dear "art", whatever you are, I will never understand you ;
wen I see the oficial videos from bloc party always I think Im in drugs :v
+Jesús David Palacios Villarreal (crashhalo4)
If you think you're *in* drugs, you're probably *on* drugs.
Mr.Thunder Suckle Fuzz Canyon sorry for my mistake. The I and the O are so close and my keyboard so small. :'v
Jesús David Palacios Villarreal
I'm just messing with you, no need to apologize xD
super!
Are you is amezing the best of musicals yeahyeahyeah
Turn up that playback speed to 1.25
Smurfs live action looks sick
Listen to the song in 1.5 speed and it becomes 100x more listenable
+Leo Nardo in 1.25 works better for me :) seriously
Put more videos... from past albums
what are the other guys from bloc party doing ? if you guys got back together and would fuckin wild.
претенциозненько
alright.. i like it. i like it a lot.
Dafuq is wrong with The Smurfs? ayy lmao
Niiiice
Finally
I love this !! Thank you kele. I respect the direction your taking your music. Lust is of the devil.
We all have to grow up and face god sometime. Why wait till your dying??
I want the drug that they are taking.
wtf
welp this song will never be the same agian hahahaha
Squidward and his babes lol
