I used to work graveyard shift in downtown LA back when this was new, I remember listening to my ipod whole watching the city lights and cars go by....such a haunting tranquility
wow 259000 views...we should really make another video. thanks to everyone who has said really nice things about this video. props to gav, aaron and mike too, was a team thing... hi jim hope you are well x
now that's a surprise comment! doing very well, thank you! :) still loving this album to this day - even saw two of the anniversary shows in 2018. hope you're good, too!
OmG !!! What a stunning video, both sound and image !!! Best videoclip i've watched in months and months !!! Great work to me !!! Like it how it's dark and menacing, and also how the glow suddenly slowly fly off the streetlights into the dark sky... Mesmerizing...
Wow, I am amazed at the quality of work and the overall effect of the video. What an unbelievable job you guys did. You guys took my favourite BP song.. and made one of, if not, THE best video that could have possibly been part of the Bloc Party video catalogue. Excellent work! Here's hoping you'll make some more!
Credit where it's due, this is leaps and bounds above the standard for music videos at the moment, I hope these guys find their place in the industry because this was an absolute joy to watch.
Great son man one of my favorite song from SILENT ALARM , GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY. my soul cry when I listen this song and the video wordless man fantastic job , once I pull down like in the video and it was a great experience that you can not explain in words have to live and you'll know what I mean
I know man!!! I was going back in a car and acctually for a whole hour I was listening this song just for this guitar.. This part also motivates me for learning how to play guitar. This guitar is amazing indeed..
This song makes me think of those nights listening to it (having gotten through all of Weekend and the rest of Silent Alarm) and its dark with just illuminescant lighting at my college wandering around alone. (Had late as hell classes)
Awesome video! Loved this song for years and your video is definitely connected to me and the song on a level that only one individual could understand
ahhh, this music smells of the earlier naughties, a time where things were still ambiguous and not definitively fucked yet, when the shit coming out of the seams only began to be seen....BP is taking me back right now
this song is great!!! We sit and we sigh And nothing gets done So right, so clued-up We just get old And all the while Been torn asunder Nicotine And bacteria wonder wat the inspiration for it was??? some of their songs have strange lyrics but i love bloc party!!! :)
holy shit....i just remembered this song....i was clicking random links for the band,and clicked this one,and then i remembered this song is on a vinyl i own.....
I used to work graveyard shift in downtown LA back when this was new, I remember listening to my ipod whole watching the city lights and cars go by....such a haunting tranquility
I know that feel bro.
Relatable G!
bloc party is amazing. they are one of the few bands that put so much emotion in their songs. great song
Don Diablo I completely agree
True!
You are the DJ who used to play A LOT in Ministry of Fun in Slovakia 🌟
Its 2020 and I still come back to this song on insomniactic nights
I’m having one of those nights
5am again. me rn
It's 2025 and bloc party sound just as good as ever.
This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being young, single, broke, and living alone.
I remember watching this on the family computer when I was like 14 and now I’m all grown able to understand this man’s routine
2:16. So damn beautiful. I'll never understand how so many people can't hear it....
I do I do I do
I do, as well
Got it
it's a long shot I know, but to me this solo is one of the most beautyfull guitar solo's ever.
damn true..
I keep coming back to this song, it just never fails to make me feel something. I have loved this band since the beginning and I always will
2:16 Russell's delay effect. Haunting. Mesmerisingly beautiful.
When the guitar kicks in it sends shivers down my spine. At the risk of sounding over the top, it makes me feel like i can achieve anything.
Haunting and such a beautiful piece of art. This is an all time song for me. Such emotion.
My favorite Bloc Party tune. That ambient intro is so good.
Bloc party is a awesome band .. without words for this song
If there is anyone who captures the feeling and mood given off by this song, you have it firmly in your clutch. Excellent work.
So fun to play on guitar. Simple, sweet, and to the point. And the vocals. Ahhhhh
Absolutely Brilliant. Why they are not known as much in America, I'll never understand.
In my opinion, one of Bloc Party's best earlier work. I like that description, "so damn beautiful".
Wow. I really love this. Compliments is one of my absolute favorite songs.
this is one of my favorite songs from Silent Alarm and the video was actaully really cool. awesome stuff.
one of my fav BP songs, its such a relaxing song!!
This song is soooooooooooooo awsome, its like euphoria! i cant get enough of this song, or the band
wow 259000 views...we should really make another video.
thanks to everyone who has said really nice things about this video. props to gav, aaron and mike too, was a team thing... hi jim hope you are well x
This song is too beautiful
It's so frustrating when you sit someone down to listen to a song like this, and they say it was ok....Arrrrggggggg!
fucking BEST unofficial music video I have ever seen... fitting perfectly to the melancholy of the song
i cant even describe how much i love this songs intro
God, how awesome is that!? It fits totally perfect to the song, hell. One of the best videoclips I've ever seen.
15 years ago comment, I hope you're okay today!
now that's a surprise comment! doing very well, thank you! :) still loving this album
to this day - even saw two of the anniversary shows in 2018. hope you're good, too!
this song is timeless
Love this song! The video fits perfectly!
Tom Forde, very Cronenberg-esque visuals, perfect video for this song. Well done.
and we sit, and we sigh
and nothing gets done
yum. amazing.
OmG !!! What a stunning video, both sound and image !!! Best videoclip i've watched in months and months !!! Great work to me !!! Like it how it's dark and menacing, and also how the glow suddenly slowly fly off the streetlights into the dark sky...
Mesmerizing...
that is the best fan video i have ever seen. and that is such a great song aswell. well done!!
Wow, I am amazed at the quality of work and the overall effect of the video. What an unbelievable job you guys did. You guys took my favourite BP song.. and made one of, if not, THE best video that could have possibly been part of the Bloc Party video catalogue.

The world loves this song,they just dont know it yet.
Bloc Party was the 2nd best thing that ever happend to me! The 1st was the lady you see sitting next to me! I miss her so bad :-(
2018 im here, back 15 years
Nick Popov 2019 and im still here
Boeh
May 2020. Still here. First heard this song in 2005.
i makes me feel nostalgic but kinda happy, it always helps me like chill whatever mood im in
Credit where it's due, this is leaps and bounds above the standard for music videos at the moment, I hope these guys find their place in the industry because this was an absolute joy to watch.
perhaps bloc party's most underrated songs...i use to skip it buts it's actually so so good..
Wow. I haven't noticed that it's fan-made 'til i read the description! Very good job!!!
August 2021 this is so great to listen too.
And the award for the best song to be played late at night in a dark room is, for the 20th year running…..
Amazing song, great lyrics, Love this band so much :) Video is very well thought out..great visuals
Great son man one of my favorite song from SILENT ALARM , GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY. my soul cry when I listen this song and the video wordless man fantastic job , once I pull down like in the video and it was a great experience that you can not explain in words have to live and you'll know what I mean
Very beautiful song. I get Radiohead vibes, the haunting feeling it gives. Also some post-rock vibes.
I know man!!! I was going back in a car and acctually for a whole hour I was listening this song just for this guitar.. This part also motivates me for learning how to play guitar. This guitar is amazing indeed..
I think this is quite possibly the best song bloc party have ever written
i really love this song and never get tired of it
This is beautiful! ❤️❤️
This song makes me think of those nights listening to it (having gotten through all of Weekend and the rest of Silent Alarm) and its dark with just illuminescant lighting at my college wandering around alone. (Had late as hell classes)
thats one of the best music video ever see
blocparty 4life
Wow that brought tears to my eyes. I totally didn't expect that to happen. Good massage, man.
how apt that the song addressing 'hating your job' involves a suited guy in a city poppin pills. Good effort matey!
Great end to a Great album.
This song grows on you like crazy.
One of the best bloc song! I never seen this clip. Amazing video. I love this rare song. It reminds me some The Cure song´s. Impresionante
The guitar line in the middle gets me every time
tom ford never ceases to amaze
Memory of my childhood. It makes me sad
THE best unofficial video i have ever seen.
Bloc Party needs to buy this shit! :)
ha,ha, thats funny, i can't live without this song....
I LOVE this song!!!!! I LOVE Bloc Party
editors but no where near this level of amaziness
Very nice song from very good band... This videoclip make me a little depressed,but I always want to sleep when Im listening this song:) GR8 JOB!
fantastic song from a fantastic band.
great, great song. and the video - fantastic !!
Awesome, Blimming Brilliant!
awesome song. AND awesome band. AND awesome lyrics :)
music, as usual, most accurately describes my 'feelings', although it's such a strange word.
Bloc Party is my new fav. band!!
amazing song!!! =)
I love day dreaming to the song!
& all the while we're torn asunder. That's class.
Silent Alarm is probably the best Indi Pop ROck album since the last 20 years
no but i see where your coming from.
this video is really well done and made. fits the song pecfectly.
This is crazy! this should be the official video!
This is so fucking amazing. You guys should post more videos from Bloc Party like this. Truly great work.
Awesome video! Loved this song for years and your video is definitely connected to me and the song on a level that only one individual could understand
wowowowowowowo!
Does Bloc Party need a new MV? HERE IT IS!
AMAZING!
I love it~
this song has a real eery feel to it or something!!
ahhh, this music smells of the earlier naughties, a time where things were still ambiguous and not definitively fucked yet, when the shit coming out of the seams only began to be seen....BP is taking me back right now
it couldn't have been said better:D...love the song and the video:x

Been torn asunder
Nicotine
And bacteria

We sit and we sigh
And nothing gets done
