Just turned 19 yesterday I’ve been listening to this band and this album now for 4 straight years on and off. The worst years of my life. So many feelings. I never left a comment before but since time is going by and I always come back and look at the comments i thought … why not
@@tanksmeow2524 actually I do. I also used it in context properly as well. You shouldn’t be so condescending on social media. Cyber bullying is pointless and reductive.
My mom asked me to play this song for 4 times in a row while she was driving a car yesterday The feeling you can get from this song even without understanding the language is indescribable
Am I cold? I cannot tell Have I fallen? Or am I falling down this stairwell? Oh, the cadence of the glow Concussive flashes of distant memories Good God, I feel your hands on me In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me Sonny Green is feeling slow Pepped up with a bag so righteous he sings all of Rubber Soul Oh, the cadence of the glow Percussive flashes over dimly lit country Good God, I feel your hands on me In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me Silk, dampened, unknown, over final thoughts Where will I be in two years? Euphoria breaks over the bow, washing up the macabre Out to sea to my mother's arms And I'm losing my ability to fathom Awake and not awake And I'm losing my ability to fathom Awake and not awake And I'm losing my ability to fathom Awake and not awake
One of my favourite Alt-J tracks to date. Been hoping for a full upload of this, so I can see comments on it! UA-cam deciding to deactivate comments on mix playlists was a terrible idea
The into to the song always gives me goosebumps, I remember the exact feeling when alt-j played this at a concert. It was so amazing. I got a cold shock through my body, it definitely wasn’t because it was 35 and the concert was outdoors! I love talking about this feeling and my experience
everytime they create something i know it's always going to be amazing but i can't help but be surprised because it's always better than i think it's going to be
A little history about Alt-J, they are an English indie rock band formed in 2007 in Leeds, by Joe Newman, Thom Sonny Green, Gus Unger-Hamilton and ex band member Gwilym Sainsbury. Their debut album An Awesome Wave was released in May 2012 in Europe, and in September 2012 in the United States, and won the 2012 British Mercury Prize. I discovered them in 2018 through my teenage daughter and fell in love with their music ever since..
This is a song about getting murdered. But like all Alt-J songs, it's not about exactly what the subject is, but capturing the intensity of human emotions in various situations of high emotion. The moments before death just so happens to be one of those things this band captures so poetically. So much raw emotion and truths in their music. My favourite band.
Taro is still my favorite alt-J song and it also is about a person's last moments before death. They have a gift to turn the intensity of these final moments into pure magic.
to be specific, getting murdered by Barney the Dinosaur at a back alley area in the UK. just listen to the barney is a dinosaur theme right at the end of
This was the song I anticipated the most when I saw Alt-J live, and honestly, it was amazing. The buildup and release of second crescendo makes me melt, it's dizzying *chef's kiss*
Found this today while listening to alt j while driving.....damn that violin gave me chills. sounds like fur elise on electric guitar and violin.....feels like PHILADELPHIA........ need a vinyl record of this so bad
This song is very special for me. It also came out (and I first heard it) while I was on vacation in Amman, Jordan - which used to be called Philadelphia.
Halfway in I'm like "this song is definitely about vampires 😏" then I thought about alt-j and I'm like "... this might actually just be about Philadelphia 😐" I'm definitely circling back to vampires now though
São verdadeiros , indagativos mostra a outra face social outro nível de consciência cada palavra com significados profundos uma voz tensa e ao mesmo tempo suave alegre amoroso amo essa banda
C’est dingue qu’après tout ce temps ils continuent de faire la musique de plus en plus dingue, vraiment ce son est vivant, il nous transporte dans plein d’univers différent c’est Une dinguerie
I'm a metalhead and Alt-J's my girlfriends favorite band, so had to go see them a few days ago. I normally don't appreciate indie, but these guys feel "heavy" to me for some reason. They were fantastic live. Gotta keep listening. This one's definitely my favorite on this album.
Am I the only one who thinks this is the best song on the album?
Trust me, most of the fanbase agrees from what I've seen. This track more than any other became an instant fan favourite for alot of people
Absolutely not
I have many favorites. U&ME, The Actor, Philadelphia, Bane, this song. The album is very good.
No
I totally agree

This is quintessential Alt-j. It just shows why they’re my favorite band.
you don't even know what that word means do you?
@@tanksmeow2524 Don't be mean. You're right, just be nicer and correct them if it's that big an issue.

The opposite of essential alt j

Those dramatic strings are so beautiful..
the slow build up is everything on this track, and the climax with the strings after the bridge at 2:52 is *pure eargasm* . bravo alt j bravo
Alt-J always manage to tell entire stories in just one song and this song is no exception!
Am I cold? I cannot tell
Have I fallen? Or am I falling down this stairwell?
Oh, the cadence of the glow
Concussive flashes of distant memories
Good God, I feel your hands on me
In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps
Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me
Sonny Green is feeling slow
Pepped up with a bag so righteous he sings all of Rubber Soul
Oh, the cadence of the glow
Percussive flashes over dimly lit country
Good God, I feel your hands on me
In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps
Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me
Silk, dampened, unknown, over final thoughts
Where will I be in two years?
Euphoria breaks over the bow, washing up the macabre
Out to sea to my mother's arms
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
Awake and not awake
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
Awake and not awake
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
Awake and not awake
Thank you!
Thank you for this!!!!!
Vivid and poetic. This is art in its rarest form.
@@ReddDogg27in its rarest form huh?

My favorite is Walk A Mile. This one is my wife’s fave. Love The Beatles vibe in this one. The outtro drums get me happy!!!
The diction that alt-J uses in their songs is so poetically abstract that I'm lost in its beauty. God I love it.
Cannot express my love for the latest album
It’s very good. I agree that it is quite a great record. What Alt-J album isn’t though? 👍
The into to the song always gives me goosebumps, I remember the exact feeling when alt-j played this at a concert. It was so amazing. I got a cold shock through my body, it definitely wasn’t because it was 35 and the concert was outdoors! I love talking about this feeling and my experience
I have no words to describe how I'm feeling while listening to this song... Just... .... shivers down my spine ❤
This is so mesmerizing, I love it. I feel as if I'm in a trance listening to this, thinking of the future romances I have yet to indulge myself in.
A trance, yes. All of their music makes me feel like this 😩
This is a 5/5 song. Those are extremely rare!
10th time on repeat, and I still want more.
everytime they create something i know it's always going to be amazing but i can't help but be surprised because it's always better than i think it's going to be
I understand this song as the last memories of a dying person, their life just flows in front of their eyes and gradually they leave this world
omg yes
Omg Relaxer 😢
I discovered alt-j yesterday and have already listened to most of his songs. I'm so in love with his music I wish had discovered him sooner
Yeh he's the man.. 🙃😆
It’s a band/group! But yeah they are fantastic!
Yeah I love that dude Biffy Clyro too
Welcome 🙏 hope you will enjoy like us

So Beautiful!I love this song so much! It gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to this track. Another🎶 Alt-J album, a success! 🎼❤️
Not even joking... I've been listening to this all day lmao
Very well done, a bit operatic, low key Queen sounding but definitely their best song in awhile. Absolutely great!!

Everything about this is top notch, this shows why ALT-J is bar none. ∆

Can't stop listening to this one. It's alt-J in their best shape.
What a song. It was amazing live. I just love it every time I hear it.
it gives me goosebumps, like this band
One of the best songs from the new album for sure!
Wish I could find thousand more songs with the exact same vibe of 1:26-1:56
Love this song so much, honestly feels like a modern take on Portishead & Moby's sounds
gives me Moby vibes as well! Glad to see someone thinks the same
Found this today while listening to alt j while driving.....damn that violin gave me chills.
sounds like fur elise on electric guitar and violin.....feels like PHILADELPHIA........
need a vinyl record of this so bad
Fav track from the Dream, unbelievably good
I got goosebumps. What did you do!😭💜 This just impeccable!
This song is very special for me. It also came out (and I first heard it) while I was on vacation in Amman, Jordan - which used to be called Philadelphia.
This song is amazing, the new album is amazing!!!!! Alt-J did it again!!!!!!
I’m listening to Philadelphia from 🇯🇵Japan🇯🇵！
This is my song of studying abroad in Australia a year ago.
one of the best songs ever!!!
It sounds just like in the very beginning! I love it with all my body from the head through the heart to the nails of my foot fingers.
Living rent free in my head for the last month. Memory space well allocated!
My personal favourite on the compilation. Excellence achieved!
Almost 30 minutes can't stop listening this masterpiece 💎❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks YOU ☺️☺️
Stunning, musically genius
Oh when it gets to 2:18 I love that change in mood
Great song. I saw them live this year, and the show was amazing!
I actually get goosebumps when I hear this song
Halfway in I'm like "this song is definitely about vampires 😏" then I thought about alt-j and I'm like "... this might actually just be about Philadelphia 😐"
I'm definitely circling back to vampires now though
a really very very good song. best regards from Austria
Best song of the new album.
Great as always! Thank you Alt-J
My new favorite Philadelphia song, for me you just uncrowned Dire straits’ one 🥇
The album is one of the best I've heard this year but this song....... My finger stuck on replay
São verdadeiros , indagativos mostra a outra face social outro nível de consciência cada palavra com significados profundos uma voz tensa e ao mesmo tempo suave alegre amoroso amo essa banda
C’est dingue qu’après tout ce temps ils continuent de faire la musique de plus en plus dingue, vraiment ce son est vivant, il nous transporte dans plein d’univers différent c’est Une dinguerie
This album is my summer
U give me lucid dreams with this sound
This is unbelievable. Music.
I'm a metalhead and Alt-J's my girlfriends favorite band, so had to go see them a few days ago. I normally don't appreciate indie, but these guys feel "heavy" to me for some reason. They were fantastic live. Gotta keep listening. This one's definitely my favorite on this album.
What makes something indie ?
i relate to this!!!
WOW!!! the Main-Theme for the new 007!
is it actually?
@@glizzygoat No...:(
Love this track. Love Alt-J, but these minimalist videos are a bummer. Gimmie those wonderfully creative and artistic pieces!
I can listen to ya'all on literally any other platform, but I come to your UA-cam time and time again for the amazing videos. This aint it.

The words cannot do justice here. Nope. Can't.

Makes me feel as if I were driving a truck into my new life in Canada, a country I left as a child.
