listening to this has the same effect as floating in water with your eyes closed and letting the world around you dissolve... to say that i love it is an understatement
This is how i described it: Like a gray foggy forest with tall pointy pine trees, the wind clears your nose and blows your hair away like wind in a storm. You are soaring above the grey forest in the cclouds like in the point of veiw of one of those sky birds eye veiws of those ature documentaries. It kinda of reminds you of those light gray mushrooms, that feel a little bit rubbery when you chew it but it's not a chewy rubbery. That but just with more air in your lungs. Fresh air. Im not good at explaining when there are too many thoughts and words that blow through my head like clouds😄🌌
I love this explanation of feeling! I've always thought of it as being able to lean back into the music and having it carry you.. But I think your feeling is totally equal to what I experience! Good Share Vibes!!
For the people who are new to this song and think it's about heroin and love, it's not. This song is about fear and the adrenaline that ensues when you feel you are about to get punched. The bloodflood is the adrenaline, Mandela Boys is a gang in Common. CO-double-MON is a reference to Southampton Common, Joe's hometown, he once got beaten and mugged there. Bloodflood shares some lyrics with Fitzpleasure about Tralala; the novel's chapter 4 of Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr. About the prostitute who was group-raped. The pt.II lines draw upon the same violent and sexual tensions described in “Fitzpleasure”.
My husband used to fight a lot as a teenager. He liked the thrill and just *feeling* something. That adrenaline that comes as you know you’re about to inflict or feel pain…I think it’s primordial

Thank you for creating these melodies, it is perfect synchrony. It helps me a lot in my saddest moments and it relaxes me a lot, it makes me think of incredible places while I feel my dysthymia.
I feel lucky, I some how totally missed Alt J and now get to discover all of their work. Listened to album around a camp fire for the first time 6 months ago and now hooked.. So fucking good.
really happy for you bro, I started to listen Alt-J in 2014 and I loved it, I listened to Breezeblocks a thousand times and for sure would love to listen to all their songs for the first time again..
Their music truly lends itself well to campfires. Sadly I've burnt my Alt-J to a crisp over the years; I freak out wildlife with other tunes these days. As you say, you are lucky to discover them now.
This music makes so much sense to me like taking LSD and having a cigarette alone on an empty balcony and noticing there is a crescent moon in the sky. Then I look at the power lines and the traffic below and feel a deep sense of sadness and beauty at the same time and have an epiphany about the duality of man.
My friend died while I was listening to this song, he was my brother's roommate, a family friend among my siblings. I was listening to this song in the shower & I saw a bright flash of light in my eyes, I knew exactly what it was in my heart when I saw it & then 15 minutes later I got the text that he overdosed & my brother found him in the bathroom of their apartment. Love you Jadon, I'm sorry we weren't there for you.

the only bad part about this is how small it is. I feel so amazed and lucky and honored that i can listen to this. You bring me joy I yearn for in my life and for that I hate you, but I also truly and undoubtedly love you.
Was listening to Sticky Finger's and I searched in thier " related" section, and this was the first pick.... I'm super impressed. 👌🏻 this song is amazing. And to be considered a related to Sticky Fingers is just well.......... 🤔 or maybe it's the other way around? .... ..... 🪨 ⭐️ 's and ya'll 🪨... .. 🎸
I'm glad you found this and I hope you kept listening to more of them because they have an incredible catalogue of mesmerizing music! I wish I could discover alt-j for the first time again
I don't know if this has been asked elsewhere, but do these songs thematically connect with fitzpleasure? the imagery of some murder in a common seems consistent throughout.
I've been a human for a while now ,listening to a lot of music ,making my own music ....these two songs and the music this band makes ....It's alright ,not bad
I wish I knew about this song while I was having one of the many bad trips years ago. Even more good trips, I had. By legal standards im insane many times over. But I know better, I've been crazy long before I took psychedelics.
Love this group, but I swear they have the weirdest lyrics which means I *hear* the weirdest lyrics. For the longest time I thought they said "Reasonably concerned about the toothbrush (Like I said to the police)."
Yeah, I actually love that they made it so it's two different sets of lyrics, depending on how you listen to it, as the above comment quotes the two versions Radiohead actually does this a lot in their songs and have one set of lyrics on their official website and another set in their album covers, which have different lyrics here and there, which are both correct depending on how you listen to the odd vocals
Definitely. It comes from the french group of rapper NTM, and their DJ (DJ Cutkiller) who misheard (on purpose ?) the sample "That's the sound of the police" from KRS-One in the 90's, changing it into "Assassin de la police". It became a cult classic in France and i'm sure Alt-J are aware of that, being British.
End background lyrics:
And I won't admit I love you
And that i will die for you
And I've waited waited for you
Here
Wait in front of you
Oh my body laid down to yours
As I fell for you
And the world for two, for two
Here
Wait to fall with you

Part I
C-O-double M-O-N
A wave, an awesome wave,
That rushes skin and widens in blooded veins
Breathe in, exhale,
I've poked a nerve he'll slap me like a whale
Slaps the C-O-double M-O-N
Tide out, tide in,
A flood of blood to the heart and the fear slipstreams

Part II
Heat shimmers
Hips quiver
Open smother
Lipped lover
Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men
Razor blades on a melted toothbrush
Assassin de la police
Heat shimmers
Silky glistener
Open smother
Lipped lover
Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men
Silent knife, unholy knife
I’ve fallen for the black outside my window
On the C-O-double-M-O-N
On the C-O-double-M-O-N
A flood of blood to the heart

Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men
(oho oho)
Silent knife, unholy knife
I've fallen for the black outside my window
6:54
Ooh, on the C-O-double-M-O-N (oho oho oho oho oho oho, oho oho oho, oho oho oho)
On the C-O-double-M-O-N (oho oho oho oho oho oho, oho oho oho, oh oh oh oh oh oh)

A flood... of blood... to the heart
A flood... of blood... to^ the heart

, as I fell for you) (we are together x2)
A flood... of blood... to the heart (And the world for two, for two , here, wait to fall with you) (we are together x2)
the only bad part about this is how small it is. I feel so amazed and lucky and honored that i can listen to this. You bring me joy I yearn for in my life and for that I hate you, but I also truly and undoubtedly love you.
Yeah what a legendary first part!.. I actually breathed in when he said it on accident loool. God is good.
this song puts me at ease so quickly im in awe
Saw them live about 6 years ago and it was amazing
Perfect to listen to in any mood
This song is delicious. And I finally figured out he’s spelling COMMON
"Do you love Tomato?" "Do you love Tomato?" I heard it and now I can't unhear it.... 7:59
Damn now I can't either
@@pavithranthilakanathan3137 lmao!
Lol!
Best band of the century 🔥 so luck to be in this moment of time where 🔼 exist
You need to discover radiohead
a whole therapy session in a song
Was listening to Sticky Finger's and I searched in thier " related" section, and this was the first pick.... I'm super impressed. 👌🏻 this song is amazing. And to be considered a related to Sticky Fingers is just well.......... 🤔 or maybe it's the other way around? ....
..... 🪨 ⭐️ 's and ya'll 🪨... .. 🎸
Never heard of them....now, I'm mesmerized ⚘️ thanks
James, right behind you, bro.
I'm glad you found this and I hope you kept listening to more of them because they have an incredible catalogue of mesmerizing music! I wish I could discover alt-j for the first time again
I don't know if this has been asked elsewhere, but do these songs thematically connect with fitzpleasure? the imagery of some murder in a common seems consistent throughout.
It's about the same location - Southampton Common, where the two incidents are imagined to take place.
@@alkarenu4418 Awesome, thanks Alka ;)
Hahahahaah, "that's the sound of the police, wawuwawu".
5:23
Assassin de la police
Nique la police
I've been a human for a while now ,listening to a lot of music ,making my own music ....these two songs and the music this band makes ....It's alright ,not bad
Are you meaning your own to these.??
@@anikasvellte no he was saying songs not bad
This song is flooding my veins..
2019, still listen daily

... good morning everyone
brilliant......enough said
I think i`ll put this on a loop.....or do we not have the science yet that can just hook it to my veins.... ??
🤯👍
Seeing in Philadelphia next April 13 which happens to be my birthday…. I’ve been waiting for this. I’m going alone and idgaf lol…. Yesssssss
When you're a New Zealander singing this song:
*eem oh ween*
Боже, как же это прекрасно!
очень.
"Dead in the middle of the C O double M O N, little did I know that the Mandela boys would become Mandela men," thats from Fitzpleasure too, right?
Yes
this song makes me feel things
me too
This is addictive.
Thanks.
What an amazing trip
This is the only thing that can calm my anxiety
*_Silent knife, unholy knife ; I've fallen for the black outside my window_*
This is B E A U T I F U L.
I wish I knew about this song while I was having one of the many bad trips years ago. Even more good trips, I had. By legal standards im insane many times over. But I know better, I've been crazy long before I took psychedelics.
thanks. duitai sangai sunna paiyo timiley garera.
This song is sooo memorizing 😍😍😍💞💞
Totaly amazing!
Its been 2 years. I love it. I listen to it everyday
soothing melody
Love this group, but I swear they have the weirdest lyrics which means I *hear* the weirdest lyrics. For the longest time I thought they said "Reasonably concerned about the toothbrush (Like I said to the police)."
"that's the sound of da police"...waou waou waoouu, or "assassin de la police"
Yeah, I actually love that they made it so it's two different sets of lyrics, depending on how you listen to it, as the above comment quotes the two versions
Radiohead actually does this a lot in their songs and have one set of lyrics on their official website and another set in their album covers, which have different lyrics here and there, which are both correct depending on how you listen to the odd vocals
Brilliant ♥️
Simplesmente BELO
Não esperava brasileiro aqui 😍
I cant say "beautiful" is an adjective that I often use, but this song qualifies.
i was looking for it
.......now do the Nara trilogy.....
ua-cam.com/video/sr9XjgU-sms/v-deo.html here it is.
Who also hears "assassin de la police" on 5'24'' ?!
definitly ! NTM power (french rap band).
Definitely. It comes from the french group of rapper NTM, and their DJ (DJ Cutkiller) who misheard (on purpose ?) the sample "That's the sound of the police" from KRS-One in the 90's, changing it into "Assassin de la police". It became a cult classic in France and i'm sure Alt-J are aware of that, being British.
I absolutely love this songggggggg
always loved
I CAN WATCH THEM LIVE AT LEAST 5 TIMES.
Can someone please tell me what the class says at the start? Is it 'good morning those of us, good morning everyone'
D'où il sort le "Assassin de la Police" à 5:24 ?! J'étais pas prêt :-)
Nan mais oui c'est ooouf
"That's the sound of the police" Mongolien.
@@aszl66 va voir les lyrics
@@margoot2798 Au temps pour moi, c'est moi le mongolien ! Totalement improbable du coup.
how have I only discovered this now
Music genius!
5:23 Le petit "assassin de la police" nice. Where did you get that? lol
Après l'écoute d'un bon gros rap
