This intro gets me every time. It's like a warm blanket of nostalgia. I remember working my arse off in dead end jobs around 2004-2006 and saving as much money as I could to go travelling. Saved up enough to travel around Asia for a year, again working random jobs to fund my journey. Silent Alarm was the soundtrack to my life during my time on the road - My Ipod and my busted up Sony earphones got me through a lot. I'll cherish this song until the day I die.
Damn.
How was your traveling!? Which countries did you visit?
Such a great description, I felt that.
Beautiful story. Bloc Party for the win!
Damn bro. What a way to describe a truly beautiful song "Warm blanket of nostalgia"
I am Japanese. When I was a student, I lived alone in Kanagawa. At that time, I was cycling while listening to this song. It was really comfortable to listen to it while feeling the night breeze. This is an important song that captures such great memories.
Respect brother
beautifully said
Much love to J❤P❤N
I was 13 yrs old when this came out... I used to get lost to this song. It made me feel alive and not alone. I'm 28 now and I still feel alone. This song takes me back to those days. Before social media took over and life felt a bit more calm.
Loads of people out there brother. I'm
stumbling through old indie songs and Bloc party was one of my fav ever bands back then. Still are now. You aren't alone my friend. I hate social media! Head up and enjoy the ride. Love.
Any music that can reach you is better than most of what they make these days.
They wrote pure lyrics which is what made them hit at that time👍🏻
Keep strong bro💪🏻
You're never alone dude, you have block party and music to keep you going
You know social media only takes over if you let it take over.
You have the control.
❤
quintessential early 2000s indie...don't you miss music like this
I can't agree more. quintessential early 2000s indie
idis1abad can you suggest me any more artists from this time? please :)
I'll help you out as I was only talking about this the other day try:
The Libertines, Jet, The Fratelli's, The Zutons, The Coral, The Cribs (particularly "Be Safe"), The Enemy, The Twang, Reverend & The Makers, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, The Futureheads, Hard Fi, The Thrills. I could go on.....
grunge and this
@@ARoque-hhhhh Hope of the States, editors, interpol, maccabees, Bombay bicycle club, joy formidable, passion pit.
And of course Radiohead.
Silent alarm - what an album. Didn't even make the top 100 in America. They don't have a clue over the pond!
It's a shame really. I tried to show most of my friends Bloc Party, but they don't like this kind of music. Rap is more popular in America, which is a shame, but what are ya gonna do?
Rock Lobster Sad, but true.. :/ that's why we are called hipsters... but they are the ones who doesn't know about good music.
Amen and God bless you all, this is REAL, GOOD, EMOTIONAL, APPRECIATIVE MUSIC.
I loved their music. I live in Virginia, and I loved all their albums including this song.
Quille Sanders Yeah true true. The UK produces some of the best rock bands, or at least in my opinion. Though I probably don't listen to enough music to judge without any bias but still.
Sometimes bands make a track that will last forever like this one
Makes me cry a little. Then I have to go on pornhub.
this made me giggled.
Send him a boob pic to thank him. Only proper thing to do.
just like Brody Stevens, once in a life time
Actually, this song lasts only 3 min and 52 sec
Anyone still listening in 2024?
Yes.... in this Moment.
Greats from Berlin.
Of course
Oh yes!
Me. Easter 2024. 60 y.o.
Yes. And its first time
i dont know this band and this song
UA-cam recomendations
I truly believe this is one of the greatest songs ever made.
Silent alarm!! One of the most underrated guitar albums of all time, don’t believe me, listen again and you’ll give a silent nod!!✌️
Totally agree. Lots of intricate guitar parts. Tulips is the best example
No arguments here. Top shelf
And also drum album
it got in number one in the UK in 2005,
You also know it, how can “underrated” be explained?? You nuts
Drums ...
For some reason quarantine brought me here... hadn't listened to this song in ten years.
do u get BBC iPlayer? if so, I know a tv show u might like..
Qurantine has me listening to all the music I loved as a teenager!
Seriously same. So happy about it too
dude, same here, makes me so nostalgic and still amazingly powerful
Same
Why does this song have to be so nostalgic!
I know right!
I still remember listening to these guys going through the darkest time in my life.Theyre music helped carry me cause I was so darn lonely.Thanks for the post
mastermind same here
I don't know you. But i love you
Yup, same here man
Aw I hope you have someone in your life for you now! If not hit me up :)
Same here.
every once in a while, for reasons almost unexplainable, a band comes along and creates music that is so captivating it stands the test of time, and holds a special place in so many people's hearts. Something about the guitar work, tasteful drums and bass playing, the way it all blends with Kele's vocals, just works so well for these tracks off of silent alarm. There is so much sonically pleasing passion, heart, emotional insight, and artistic craft with songs like these, this modern love, and so many others from Bloc Party. This band was one of the first bands that made me realize how much you can do as a guitar player if you write two parts. For that I will always site them as a huge influence.

Love how people have only stumbled across this from the EE advert. Silent Alarm is still the best indie album to ever come out of the UK in my opinion.
yeah I know.. all the music is shit now so they have to use decent tunes from an era gone by....
Silent alarm remixed I think is even better.The album is a masterpiece and was so fresh when released,it hasn't dated,still fresh now
What about Arctic monkeys’ debut album or Morning Glory?
Silent Alarm isn’t even close to them.
You ain't listened to a lot of UK Indie shit, avya, Kid A?
@@jonathanmarkham1998Arctic Monkeys doesn't have shit on Bloc Party at their prime
56 years old and still love this as much as I did all those years ago
This song is to the 2000's what "1979" (The Smashing Pumpkins) was to the 1990's
I like that take alot
Most accurate depictive comparison of the song that I could ever possibly imagine! ❤
thus
I honestly like this better than 1979 and I love that song.
Got both on my playlist, had it on shuffle there....these 2 songs came on, one after the other....smashing pumpkins then bloc party
Man Bloc Party seriously has to be one of the most under-rated bands out there. Thoughtful Lyrics, provocative subjects, melodic guitars, evolving style, passionate songs and arguably one of the best drummers performing still.
I remember falling in love with this song. How life flies by.
Same here
+Stephanie Correll Fuck!ng a!
+Stephanie Correll Ditto! Still cant get enough of this song as well!
Ditto
I fell in love with it the first time I heard it on the TV sitcom "Psych".
would anyone else consider Kele and Russell to be lowkey two of the most underrated guitar gods in indie rock? they had such a huge influence on my playing.
I wouldn't really call their guitar technical abilities spectactular, but the songwriting choices and overall "Band" aesthetic of Bloc Party means that their guitar work fits perfectly into a greater whole sound.
This song is insane man. Shit brought me to tears. When your going through shit this is what music is for. Sometimes you need some motivation and this is exactly what this songs brought me
I hear you ❤ lost my soulmate last year... This song brings me to tears 😢
Easily the best song they’ve ever done. Silent alarm was an amazing album 👌🏻
It’s halfway thru October. Fall is here. Winter among us. And this is my anthem. I’m forever grateful this song exists.
Used to listen to this in my teens. Now in my 30s. I heard it on an advert recently and couldn't remeber the name for the life of me. Finally, after so much searching, I've found it and the memories and emotions of those happy, fun and carefree years have come flooding back. Cheers UA-cam
Nobody could have made an album as influential as Silent Alarm ended up being in my adolescence. Hope Matt and Gordon are doing well.
2005 freshman year high school I legit fell in love with a girl on first sight this song was her MySpace profile song at the time. We were so close years later had a chance at something. But it fell through for stupid reasons she ended up with someone else so did I. I’m married now. Having a baby. I love my wife and my baby girl coming. She’s engaged to this good man. I will always wonder and have genuine love for her. I have to be happy for where god brought us. And with that being said I’ll always love you.
We all have that 'What if...'
life is a crazy journey, you never know what will happen 🥲
Deep
It’s 2024 and listening to this gives such a nostalgia wave but what’s even more warming for my heart are the comments across time and space from people connecting to this song bringing a piece of light in the dark. So lovely to read.
Bloc Party's "So Here We Are" is an emotional and captivating song that showcases the band's ability to create music with deep lyrics and immersive instrumentation. It is a song that has left a lasting impression on me and always makes me reflect on life and the search for meaning.
Best comment!
ChatGPT ass
Chat GPT?
I can't undersatd how such a beatiful song could be so underrated
This song, especially towards the end, gives me a feeling in my stomach that tells me that everything's gonna turn out fine, there's nothing to worry about. It sure does make me feel like a five year old without a single worry at all.
Whenever I feel down I put this on, and I figure it out, and I see again that the world ain't as bad as I thought it was.
R u still alive?
August are you alive bro
@@Said-gc5po yes
@@uglyluffy7815 yes
Honestly this album got me through some tough times 2005-07. It doesn’t matter than the lyrics didn’t resonate what was happening in my life. Just the music. Its what music does. Thanks bloc party ❤️
I'm with you mate
same. still means everything this song
Whenever I hear this song I'm taken back to a specific moment in my life, walking south along Balham High Road in 2006. I've just exited the tube at Balham. This song is playing on my iPod (look it up, kids), and I'm elated, walking on f***ing air, having just come back from a date with a girl who I'd eventually move to South America with. We didn't work out, but like so many of these things it's all ended up for the best. The crazy thing is that 16 years later, living on the other side of the world, I hear this song and am able to recall the feelings of that moment as though it were last week.
I was in a freshman in college when I first started listening to Bloc Party - Silent Alarm album. I didn't have too many friends initially (later I found good friends whom I still stay in touch now) and was struggling a bit and Bloc Party's music was my go to music back then. The calming yet nostalgic tune even after almost 17 years.
The early 2000's music video aesthetic is just so iconic, now. That low quality amateur-ish vibe is so freaking cool.
Back during the summer when I was 20, my closest friends and I ate shrooms every weekend and always put this song on at some point. More often than not it'd end up on loop. Almost 30 now and it really brings back nothing but memories of laughter and smiling faces of people I don't get to see anymore. This will always be my favorite song.
Mike Chambers. there is not a day I don't return to this video ,listen to the tune and read your comment mate I relate a lot to your story its crazy how life changes
Crazily enough, I do this too from time to time. Thanks Mike Chambers for your everlasting comment I guess for both of us!
Definitely feel that one. We old now lol
Go see them. Jump
wholesome
discovered this song for the first time on Looking For Alaska, and then found it again on Psych. great stuff
I bought silent alarm a few months after my mum left for America and this song saved me. I felt so alone and lost but for some reason this song reminded me that things were gonna be okay. I was 16 then and I’m 36 now and this song still holds a part of me!! For better and for worse. Thank you bloc party for giving hope in your music!!!
I was 24 when this album was released and at that time this was groundbreaking. The purest indie album back then, and still to this day 16 years later…
this could be one of the best songs of all time
Definitely a possibility!
Bloc party just isn't bloc party without Matt and Gordy... They aren't necessarily bad, it just isn't bloc party.
it doesn't do it for me now. this is the one and only bloc party
Well said
I agree , matt is a drum god. Gordy was great on bass and backup vocals the current band just does not sound right and any hymms was garbo
My first liked video on my youtube account. I was probably 12 when I liked this, and 24 now. Life is so different. This song is so nostalgic, brings me back to memories I didn't even know I had.
There's a lot to learn over the years, so much it makes you forget about the past. I love this song for the exact thing you mentioned.
My first serious boyfriend introduced me to this album. He is long gone, but my love for this remarkable album remains. Kele makes me long for something I need, but have never experienced.
it's amazing how matt can make this intense drumming fit the mood of the song perfectly. it even sounds much better with the song than some slow drums would do. one of the best tunes ever.
this track draws out so many emotions from me, kills me every time.
Love the drums so much in this song!
Thats Bloc Party, not The Drums.
I know it's Bloc Party, meant the drums as the instrument part
twas a joke sir.
bloc party is one of my favorite bands of all time!!!!!!!
Welcome to the club ! ;)
@@rockdoublard aw
Just heard this on ee advert and remembered how good it is
I’ve chosen this song to be played at my funeral.
I got bullied all my childhood until I finished school at 15 and listening to this song the same summer on a boat trip with just the ocean as company was the first time I felt genuinely free.
It was the starting point of who I am today and I’ll be forever grateful for that moment. I’ve been through a lot since then but now I’ve got big plans ahead, much thanks to this song and this band.
Bloc Party was one of those bands we all thought came from a drug induced fever dream during our highschool years , but yet here they are on UA-cam
This line up for Bloc Party will forever be the best line up for them
Silent Alarm is proof of that
Still Listening February 2024❤🏴👌
I took severance to pursue adult lecturing by means of a Further Education PGCE at Wolverhampton University in 2005/6 . This always seemed to be on the radio and it reminds me of that time, almost 18 years ago. How quickly those years have gone. Slightly nostalgic memories.
You cant argue the fact that alot of the tunes on this album have stood the test of time. ❤
According to Kele Okereke, “This song’s about the way people say they feel when they’re taking ecstacy. A song about that moment of purity and real clearness and the search to get back to that feeling.”
It makes me remember that warm amazing feeling of being so happy with people you love 😊
(Listening in 2019 and will be forever ❤)
Yessss, thank you for this quote. I try my best to live my life this way.
I know that feeling so well it breaks my heart in two.
I want this played at my funeral.
r u still alive?
@@Said-gc5po he is in internet heaven now 🤣
I think this is still my favorite album of all time. There’s just not a weak song on the whole thing. And the flow is incredible.
I was one of the lucky ones to have seen bloc party play silent alarm live in full first ❤️
It’s taken 20 years to get from “I really tried to be what you wanted” to “I’ve figured it out”.
I caught a glimpse, but it's been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home, home
I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again
I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out
I figured it out
I can see again
I was in my late 20s when I was first mesmerized by this song. I'm in my mid-40s now. This is a genuinely surreal moment. 😮
The real and only Bloc Party, for me! Perfection! What a f***ing nostalgia, my goodness….. when I was in love of Russ!😅💜🫶🏻
I actually never liked this song when I was young. Yet, I'm moved to tears now. I guess that so much has changed that I can feel the melancholy of this song now...
Saw them 3 times live. Happy I did since Bloc Party is pretty much no more.
I feel like they just needed one more great album after weekend in the city.
when a talent like Bloc Party is no more and crap like One Direction and k-pop boyband still around, you know music industry so fucked up.
***** *fifth
Houkai Amplifier Lucky!
This is one of the greatest songs of all time.
'I made a vow, to carry you home'
That line alone is straight feels.
favorite song to listen to when autumn begins
Mmmm
The guitar tone is so unmatched by anything I have heard. Ever. This is such a soothing song. It's like a laxative for the soul, encouraging human emotion to make itself known and flow freely.
To everyone reading this, i hope you find your Great Perhaps.
I can't believe a bloody advert has finally got this truly outstanding track a bit of recognition 😕😡
This band is still relevant here in December 2023❤ I've been a fan for 20 years now ❤
Never forget listening for the first time to this track in 2007 and kinda being hypnotized by it. I just found this dude that is super into this band (and is black and beautiful and smart just like Kele
Very underrated drummer. The drumming on silent alarm is what made it great, not just good.
Nah the drumming ruins the song here
@@LRM5195sorry things aren’t straight ahead and boring enough for you. Music used to have flair and wasn’t all quantized
The amount of nostalgia that riff brings me is overwhelming. That riff was walking home from school for the weekend through the park, then going round your mates to watch a movie right after while pretending to revise.
EE has just brought me here 2023, what a brilliant band
I wish I could relive this time period.
Almost 2 decades… this hits as hard as it did when I was an ignorant teenager, virgin to several emotions to come. I’m still right where I am with this sonic masterpiece. Vulnerable, making mistakes, learning not by the day, but by the minute. It’s crazy a song from your younger years hits you differently as you age, as you experience, as you grow up and down.
''Silent alarm'' is one of, if not the, most brilliant albums ever recorded.
Here from Psych S02E09.
OMG YEEEESSSS!!!!! JUST finished watching that episode, with the BEST Jules & Shawn scene so far!!!!
Yes! I came across this, after hearing It on the EE advert, ..... Wow. Amazing how all the good songs just grab ya! Hairs on the back of your neck moments!! Wow....
Oh man I love this song! It's so dreamy and hazy and so calming! I love it!
i hope that these pieces of art will never be forgotten
One of the best songs of one of the best albums.
could not get this song out of my head after watching Psych season 2 episode 9
In my top 10 easy. Im 50 and have listened 2 at least 5000 tracks!
OMG, only now have i just discovered this band & I literally found you from an add this fab song is on. Where have you been . LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG x
Genuinely one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I'll always adore this track ❤
I was literally 10 years old in 2006 but somehow this song speaks to me. Kinda miss the indie vibes of 2004-2009
Im sure i will still be playing this in another 17 years or 19 when the album was realised. Great record! 👍🏻
Here in 2021, strangely on Valentine’s Day. My heart skips a beat when I hear this, every time, no matter what.. then I’m left with butterflies of nostalgia.
It’s almost a painful experience, one of wanting to go back in time to re-experience those times we lost our innocence, those one-dimensional times where all that mattered was the rag-tag group of friends you had, the ones you said you’d die for, yet you’ve gone separate ways.
I could write for days about the feelings this song evokes in me.
This band should be more famous pure talent
from my fav show ever psych is how i found this. the ep is “bounty hunters” and its at the end of the ep
Me too
Same
Same! probably my favorite scene of the show.
Heard this from the ee advert never heard it before but what an awesome track can't get enough of it
Can’t believe this song was 2005 seems like yesterday listening it at uni. 40 years old now and still a tune.
This has been my favorite song for about five years now. It's been with me through high school graduation, my dog's and grandma's deaths, shroom trips, going-away parties for friends, break-ups, first dates... literally everything. No other song even comes close to resurfacing old memories and emotions like this one. It's beautiful.
What a song, makes you remember the good old days
CB a very inspiring story. You deserve it! One time frugal, hardworking disciplined individuals!
What story please? I love 💕 this track🎶🙏
A song to fall in love to.
I particularly love songs like these. They have dreamy sounds that make them ecstatic and you’re always moved when you listen to them!
I come back to this song/video probably once or twice a month. And now it’s October, coming onto fall and winter. And this song makes me feel the best I’ve ever felt in my entire life this time of year. This song makes me entirely happy. Especially when the summer months leave me in the dumps. ❤
I've got this song as alarm song for almost 2 years. The first song ever that i don't hate after some time as an alarm song. Moreover, i still love it.
Today i found out that it's album is called "Silent alarm"
Interesting...
I have so many amazing memories of this song. Being 24, driving down Seward Hwy in the winter in Alaska, not knowing that life at that moment was the best. 2005 was magical.
