Matt Tong is one of the 25 greatest drummers to walk the earth.
agreed
agreed x2
Agree - he is a total legend
They just aren't the same without him
@@CK2008ablenever gonna be the same without Matt
As of Wednesday 7th of February 2024, this song and the entire Little Thoughts EP is finally on Spotify! Can't wait to listen on repeat! Bloc Party forever!!!
This is the best song that so many people still haven't heard.
Indeed!
Amazing song
Don’t worry at least we have herd it 😊
Poor old bloc party really fell from a great height
@@Josh-cn7gm alpha games is pretty good imo
i got mad respect for kele.
he's showing that black people can play a prominent role in rock music and be successful at it. being black and listening to rock is tough. but i don't care bloc party kicks ass!!
oh yeah and i was raised in brooklyn, new york. the heart of the ghetto.
Being black i'm the only one of my friends who listens to this sort of music but i love it, Bloc party hit different
I'm Jamaican 😂 (black too since Jamaican is a nationality not a race)
I've only really listened to rock music for a year or so but I really like it
I don't understand this stigma that black people don't fit in if they enjoy music outside of afrobeats & hiphop
Without african Americans inventing blues I'm not sure rock music will exist today...
I'm east african and I've listened to indie/alt rock since I was 10 or so, it's probably because I was exposed to alot of music derivative of rock on TV since I'm British...
And now I'm 25 years old I listen to literally anything these days;
Afrobeats, jazz,bossanova,salsa,ska,RnB, contemporary hiphop,dancehall, jungle,dnb, tech house, trance & occasionally classical if the piece stands out to me.
I just follow & trust my ear,
even using "genres" to describe my musical taste & sensibilities feels trivial to me
Wow, thats awesome. It's okay to break out and step out your comfort zone. And explore new things. Just remember one thing; only deal with positive people only, and after that? People that are permanently positive🎉
Unfortunately its only possible in UK. America has weird racial politics.
An Ipod from 2005 sent me here.
Yo me too
yooooooooo same bros
Ha that’s crazy me too! Old iPod, cracked screen, came across it and had listen. Instant flashbacks to my flat with my friends at uni in 2005 listening to this album as we got ready to go out. I used to think then I wished I lived as a young adult in the 70/80s but now what I would give just to even go back 15 years 🤣
I lol'd
Same (watch it late)
You know what's weird. On the U.S. release of the Silent Alarm CD that I bought in 2005 when it was still new, this song is on it. It quickly became my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite songs of the era, just an absolute anthem. I only just found out the other day that it's not on the UK version of the album! And that it's not even available to stream now! Utter insanity! The album absolutely feels incomplete without it. Just really feel for the newer fans who don't know this song and don't know what it does to elevate that album.
Where abouts is it in the album?
Yeah when I originally got the album on Itunes it was on there. But it's not on Spotify or on the CD here :(
Yeah it's a fab track. Kele feels embarrassed over it.
@@planetyes why's that I wonder?
@@JimPoe70 I don't know. He also says the same about the Silent Alarm album. Makes me sad because it's one of the most important pieces of music in my life.
Matt Tong, such a beast.
And so humble.
wtf why do i always feel like i'm about to cry when i listen to this
Lol.
Nostalgia, the good old days :´(
it has that feel of "past" i dont know how to put it in the words lol
@@ActionManxTornado yeeeeeessssss
I get emotional too. I’ve known Bloc Party since 2006 and I discovered this song last year.
Beautiful track, 2000s Bloc Party is one of the best things that ever happened to music.
I remember watching this on MTV2 back in 2004, and I've loved Bloc Party ever since.
Why is this not on any streaming site? It breaks my heart. I love this too much
Same with two more years
@@MpanzuSolos licencing issued
It is now!
My burnt CD playlist from 2005 randomly popped into my head this morning, so glad it did.
Please Bloc, can you go back? I am asking after all! I know it is reminiscent to dwell on tracks like these, but they were so beautiful. I miss the days where the gang were together.
with songs like this, helicopter, banquet, and skeleton how are not getting more airtime. they seriously deserve it.
still worth coming back to this on jan 1st 2023 at 2:43am
I’m m other you a year later 😊
It's ridonkeyulous how many self-described Bloc Party fans don't know this song. And it's so, so good
This album was a huge piece of the teenage puzzle for me. It was the key that opened up a whole different world of bands that I’d love for the rest of my life
Saved my life at that moment
This song always makes me nostalgic, despite the fact I only first heard it a few months back. Keeps me enthusiastic for music and being in bands xx
i love how the drummer has the little facial expressions like at the very start, he looks so happy!
Matt Tong is probably the best drummer i've ever hear live.
I really like their sound. It's so clean and simple. No special effects all the time. Bloc Party is one of the greatest! Love them.
I’m not as old as everyone else in this comment section, but I’ve been listening to Bloc Party for a good 2 years. Tbh I really miss their old style or albums like Weekend and Silent Alarm. Makes me kinda sad I wasn’t there to enjoy it sooner. I’m in high school at the moment and their music really do help me get through tough times. ❤️
Awesome! They are an amazing. I’m in 30s I remember when silent alarm came out… just was so brilliant but it still sounds unique and fresh today. Good to hear people still discovering them! Make sure to listen to cool music when young. Something happens when you’re older they stick in your mind from teens and 20’s trust me. Then when older it brings back so much emotion. Check out Taking back Sunday and Motion city soundtrack, two other great bands from 2000s
Im currently in college its not a easy lofe the moment tryin to make friends or hell even talkin to someone with my introvert ass this band has truly givin me hope and time to think positive glad ppl found this amazing band
@@markhardwick8032 So glad you mention MCS wow
Most underrated bloc party song there is tbf
I'm the only one that is missing Bloc Party? Or I'm getting old.... ?
I miss THIS Bloc Party. The one with long-haired speechless Russell, the no beard Gordon, the long haired complicated drum rhythm Matt, and when Kele had this hair
That too
You are not alone. Bloc Party now. Bloc Party forever.
Finnbar Frank Jain I miss them too. They were truly a new wonder for me. Also, thank you for reminding me of their old personalities lol I forgot Russell never ever talked. Damn, good old days.
I do enjoy Kele's solo stuff though. But do I miss the angular-riffs of Bloc Party.. :(
discovered this band at the beginning of the year when i had just recently gotten out of a relationship. this album saved my life
Amazing record. Hope all is well these days
I found the album before I went through a break up but didn’t truly fall in love with the album until after. The album is the sole reason that I got over it so quickly. I love this album to death. I don’t think it will ever not be my favourite album ever.
Keep on trucking
Still remember back in ‘05, 12th grade, picking up Silent Alarm on a whim while with my friends at an electronics store. Ahh the memories. This song is eternal
Crazy
I was born in 05 and in grade 13 (year 13)
This album goes hard
The early 2000s we're just something else.
I'm not just speaking because of nostalgia, it is that the air had a fragrance, the world sounded different.....from car engines to the slangs and language people used, to the sound of hustling leaves in the parks, to the cell phones.
Everything was good back then.
This song was everything to me in 2008. My all time favourite band! ❤
When your wife asks if you remembered the paper towels
Seeing a lead singer who is black and an Asian drummer just makes this band more awesone if you ask me... There should be more bands like this! Seeing this mix got me interested in this band other than their amazing music:)
Why does it make them more awesome?
@@seemourbutts6679 because previously there were none
@@evanpoole7829 so you’re black and or Asian?
@@seemourbutts6679keep yourself safe and shut up
When Bloc Party were skinny lads had and a more simple sound that appealed to a wide range of people.
Oh no, they changed. How awful.
rmkw4291 i feel like Bloc Party’s older songs (like this one) would be a lot better if it had a less generic structure. They used the structures too similar to each other too much
Off The Rails Kay Is all change good?
SO GOOD !!! BEST BAND EVER
this is just classic bloc party at, probably, their finest. bloc party is just kickass!
Matt looks like hes having the time of his life in this video
i still listen to this in 2021, does someone else do it as well? What an awesome Band!!!
Best song ever written, musically
These Little Thoughts put me in a good place, much needed in 2020...
prime Bloc Party here, haven´t been the same since Matt and Gordon Left
This song never gets old. One of the best next to "Two More Years".
I just love it! ^.^
the beginning is my muse
Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking, trying to stand up
Pay attention to the details
We go slowly, slowly down
Been thinking little thoughts

Is a countdown

I haven't got the guts to stand alone
I love this song. I wish it was on spotify!! omg that pink guitar
sigh. i love this song. it just stays in your head so much. the chorus is so strong.
i don't care who's black, white, asian, indian or alien. if they can be awesome at playing an instrument/singing and create amazing music like this guys, i'm a fan.
I graduated uni June 2006 Bloc Party I miss you :)
And this was the song/video that got me massively into Bloc Party back in 04 and changed my life forever!
remember hearing this for the first time live on the steve lamaq show back in 2004. still my favourite song of theirs!
the nostalgia hurts
This reminds me of Ebs and flows.. cycles of life. All good things don't last forever. All bad things must come to an end someday. I love this music!
Such a great BP track - love the 7/4 at the end.
Have been obsessed with SKeleton and Song for clay (demo) Had forgotten how AWSOMEEE this song is!!!!!!!
"ill go back if u ask, ill go back if u ask me..."
For me this song is like the film 'Field of Dreams'. It doesn't matter how long in between viewings/listenings it just makes me weep every time. Such a beautiful piece of art
The nostalgia almost brings me to tears everytime
I miss the "old" Bloc Party :/
2023 here! Still not bored of this banger!
can't name a single band in the charts rn who are even close to touchng bloc party.
Kushra Dubs The National
@@kubrickking5101 m?
@@kubrickking5101 no band not even bloc party themselves will come close to producing indie rock gems similar to the silent alarm / weekend era. the best word to describe their music this era is exuberance. i like the strokes and am but man i still think bloc party put themselves over the moon with an unmatched distinctiveness making music that surrounds you in this white energy that perfectly encapsulates what being young in the modern era is like. imo the band took the genre really way far, more so than their pioneering peers. i dont really hate the indie rock that came after their prime but most of it has slowed down and follows the mac demarco tropical trend which isnt really bad per se at least to me but with each listen of the same sounding stuff your ears grow numb to otherwise uninteresting cookie cutter tracks that are afraid to move from "deep lyrics" and bassy rhythmic rhythms (i mean lots of basslines in pop today arent melodic; bloc party isnt the anthesis but im just making the point of characterizing how much of IR is redundant nowadays) and towards frantic soundscapes of fast tempos - and i dont mean but not also criticism a la vampire weekend just any which way the music goes: bloc party paints pictures with their music and puts me in a specific mood whenever i listen to a specific track of theirs. the understanding between the connection of music and words and the purposeful display of technical proficiency and comping is why i enjoy BP more so than almost any other rock band today.
For some reason the video for Two More Years is now blocked in Ireland, when it surely shouldn't be and wasn't last time i looked (maybe a year ago) :_ .
I watched Bloc Party at The Night & Day, Manchester 2004. This was my favourite song by them at the time, when they played this I went f**kin mental. Met guitarist Russel Lissack after the gig who was a nice guy and down to earth. Signed my ticket. Some mad random bands came out of the UK in the mid 2000's...even though my era was the late 80's & 90's the mid 2000's was great for music. Some bad stuff but plenty of good also.
why isn't this on spotify?:(
Still coming back here in 2022 and so glad this song has come back into their live set.
THAT DRUMMER THO. WOW
loveeeeee the bass line
He's absolutely brilliant, one of my favourite new drummers
10 years later and how I still love this song
You stole the words from my mouth !
Yes, he IS a beast, and bloody hell, what a great rythm he's giving to BP's tracks !
Damn great, i swear !
If there's some instrument who caugh my ears first on finding out about BP, no doubt twas drums !
Absolutely fabulous, a "beatic" band !
My perso fav's are ION SQUARE and I STILL REMEMBER, but i will most prob' add this one to the list...
Hey, all BP fans here, hello & be fine !
this song makes me feel like a kid again back in the mid 2000s!
This song is definitely my favorite of theirs. It is on the Little Thoughts EP. I love all the songs off that cd and suggest all of you take a listen.
this is kickass and classic bloc party...
it's KICKLASSIC!!
I love bloc party. Brings me back to a better time thats for sure
Summer of 2005
Bloc Party has amazing composition. I just wonder how Kele does it...
I love the last minute
they changed so much since then, kinda miss old days
17 years ago. 17 years..
I'm 18 and this song is older than me
Nunca me canso de escuchar Bloc Party :)
No band has the ability to make me fall in love at first sound to as many songs as Bloc Party. Amazing.
Bloc Party Fan since 2010.
I'LL GO BACK!
Silent Alarm was insane. I love it and still listen to it almost every other week at least. Everything before A Weekend In The City is the best - but "AWITC" was still a nice listen. Some of their new stuff is good to listen to, others not so, but they're taking a new directions, which on the one hand is cool, but on the other is a little annoying as their early stuff is clearly fucking awesome. One of the best bands to come from the UK in recent times, easily.
Matt Tong is a legend!A true master of his instrument!
Wow.. im blown away this band is amazing. its also so unique. I can tell these guys are going to do REALLY well. this is a one of a kind band.
"If it's cause my Asian, you're a coward"
* Matt plays giddily *
(Yes, I know, "If it's cause my age, then ...")
no matter what, always my favorite band.
one of the best songs ive ever heard in my life
Matt Tooooong!!!!
RiP :(
F
):
The legend himself.
this band is amazing
This MV always puts a smile on my face.
The gutair work so clean, and snares shape as 😍😍😍
Good music indeed.
Short story: I used to get high and play Guitar Hero with one of my homies. There was a song by Bloc Party, which I dug, so I went and downloaded the whole discography on a torrent (yes, I was a baller). I had an old "scrolly wheel" I-pod at the time, which held 20 gigs of music. I remember the day: fucking around on I-tunes, trying to find new music I wanted to listen to out of my giant music collection I illegally downloaded from torrents (yes, I was, and still am a baller). I saw Bloc Party and I was like "why not?" I picked the "Tulips EP" because my I-pod was almost full of music already, and it was only two songs long, and I hadn't really listened to any Bloc Party other hearing their song on Guitar Hero... One day (while on one of my many random adventure-journeys) I was playing my I-pod on shuffle, and the Tulips EP popped up, and I was like "wow, that was jammy af", so I listened to it on repeat for like 3 days straight. Then I was like "this band is the shit!", so I went and put a bunch more Bloc Party on my I-pod. Little did I know it would become the soundtrack to my life for the next 3 years. Some really "deep, reflective" times for me. Kind of like "years of self-discovery". One line in particular changed the whole course of my life...: "If I could do it again, Id climb more trees, Id pick and Id eat, more wild, blackberries..." Actually part of why I look like what I look like today (I used to be very clean cut, believe it or not). Just some deep, esoteric shit going on in my head during those times, and these songs were the perfect soundtrack for that. I'm telling you, soundtrack to my life... My friends at the time had different tastes in music, so It was kind of my "personal soundtrack" for when Id venture "to and fro their house", a good 5 miles away, walking, in the middle of the night, through various trails, forests, and shortcuts, just kind of "wandering", with only the moonlight to guide me, and Bloc Party in my ears... Kind of crazy, but also crazy awesome... Just, "those experiences" are forever engraved in who I am. Its like Bloc Party and I now have a "soul connection", and Its all because I put the silly little "Tulips EP" on my I-pod. Crazy. Those were legendary times, a lot of which "made me who I am", which, surely, can and does find its way into the world (in one way or another...) Super awesome... I doubt anybody would have anticipated such awesomeness coming out of music, but, it surely did. I will be forever grateful. Thank you Bloc Party... You are legendary in your own right. I just hope that anybody that comes after us can find similar experiences, maybe by the hands of your music. I suppose we can only hope... Until then...
Keith Koala I am seriously going through the same thing with them right now. I completely understand what you mean
the hella of a great story
Try Sam Fender, it’s not the same vibe but he’s creating decent music and spread some hope in me that this kind of music is not dying in this modern world.
That’s was an awesome story to read while hearing bloc party for the first time ever
Happy I found this and got to read it, so relatable as I’ve always believed that bloc were greatest band of all time
Their best song by a mile and that saying something.
Agreed
Drummer is loving it 😂
I made a couple of friends in high school because they saw I had this song and "Glasshouse Tarrot" by Sparta on my iPod lol. I had about no similar taste in music as even my best friends at the time, so it was really exciting to unroll my library and not have that feeling of "oh, I didn't think they like it. Better skip to the next song".
I'm rambling a bit here, but I really do love this song and have nothing but fond memories.
Love this song. The vid is simple but hypnotizing!!! Bloc Party!!!!!
Este disco es una joya, de mis favoritos, nunca me canso de escucharlo , lástima que ya solo están 2 de ellos en la banda 😪
This song is absolutely timeless!
Just saw them play silent alarm front to back last night, this one was awesome live
This song is still incredible
That ending always gets me.
That awesome switch to 7/4 with Matt's drum rolls from snare to toms, the way the guitars play off of each other, and that synth in the back are so touching, especially when it switches back to 4/4 for the last 2 measures, such a beautiful chord to fade out on. Classic song.
@@GreenDayDookieDemos as a drummer I understand what you’re saying but I don’t think anyone else got that lol 😂
@@cris46531 Probably not hahahaha, I just can't get over how well-written and performed that is
Sick!!! I saw these guys in Vegas at the Hardrock hotel in 2006... Watching them play this live sounded just as good as High Def... Amazing Band.
I feel like Japan's music followed this blueprint made by Bloc Party.
I love this song !!!!
