Bloc Party - This Modern Love | A Take Away Show

[@GilbertTang]

I could see Kele was really reluctant to do this. It was awkward to the point where I wanted them to just leave him alone. That said, I’m conflicted. It was such a selfish joy. So simple and beautiful. I know it’s years later, but if Kele happens to be reading this please know that what you did that day is timeless and so very appreciated. Thank you.

[@EmSixTeen]

Agreed, he clearly wasn't really up for it, but what it ended up as is one of my favourite music videos of all time.

[@starflek]

@@EmSixTeen me too.

[@ronkare]

He goes out of the bar smiling while talking about singing, then says "I would love to sing a song", "I want in"... Doesn't seem like he's forced to do anything. More like worrying it won't sound good, which makes this performance even better.

[@attentionaddicts]

@@ronkare I agree, Kele could have said no but instead the went and got the guitarist. This was clearly after a Bloc Party gig (he has a sore throat and sore fingers) so he thought he couldn't perform well.

[@ThePhillkillv2]

This video makes me feel sentimental despite me having no connection to the shooting of this video or the people in it. It simply feels like a look into someone's personal life, a candid, soft spoken song meant for only a few, shared with the world. Just great.

[@esdenaze]

glad they played this is their best song, one thats stuck in my memory

[@bluefh225]

Still my favorite version of this song. Love this in 2021

Goes for a smoko. Conveniently bumps into Bloc Party playing This Modern Love. Luvin lyf

[@BillClintonn]

What's so cool about this video is how music has the capacity to quiet things. Notice all the hub-bub before they sing, the teeming, the movement, and then halfway into the song, you notice the quiet hush only good music can bring.

[@JustifiedIgnorance]

Love this band. Love this song. He has such an amazing voice

[@manutdtreble7]

This is gorgeous. I wish this band was so great again. It had such a huge impact on my life at the time. This song, the whole scene, the way it was filmed it is beyond words!

[@josealmeida8557]

It's 2021, and I just love the fact that everyone there is just listening and enjoying, no one holding their phones up. Might just be that these last then years we've been running in the wrong direction.

When he sings "I'll pay for youuu" 😍😍😍

[@danicb3]

Gave me goosebumps. So perfect.

[@Ana-Hachka]

My favourite version of this song. Merci la blogothèque. Vous assurez.

[@rebecacedeno1856]

Another blogotheque hidden gem

[@ANGADKHANNA-t7r]

I just love this song, and this version especially, it leaves an indelible mark. This song is just what I think describes me best in a way; it's just something I wanted to say out loud.

[@projectkaleidoscope]

this never gets old!

[@annelizabetht]

Unbelievable! Simple and Perfect.

[@OuaiiiLama]

Un moment magique.

[@metakiakira]

The happy faces

[@theunnamed89]

Who is watching this on 2020? 10 years after the recording.

[@tiernanmartin3729]

Ten years past and somehow I've found my way back to this beautiful moment recorded and shared with the world Such a generous gift from Kele, Russell, and La Blogothèque 🙏🏻

[@robwheeler5415]

2022 boiiiii 👍

[@ErnstWirklich]

Came back here after probably not listening to this gem for maybe 12 years, still so good

Geeez I used to go to the Truskel all the time! I never saw any band play outside the pub ...

[@carlo88moe]

@loveisanumber the bloc part of 'silent alarm' still exists bc the album does, that album captured a moment that lasts forever and wont go away

[@965177]

ALL PAY FOR YOU.... ANY TIME!

[@Nicoyutub]

[@bblindopk]

q regrese bloc party D:

[@brainneeded]

@LaBlogotheque was it uploaded to another account? i remember watching this a while back.

[@rocketsauce08]

woop woop

[@loveisanumber]

@projectkaleidoscope i can only hope that it will be as brilliant as silent alarm!

[@TheDukeWontFreeMoses]

didn't you guys put this up a while ago? or was it on the website

[@Lorio83]

@TheDukeWontFreeMoses "Shot in Paris, October 2008." Good to check the description sometimes before asking questions :)

[@justinmepham]

I wonder how many videos they have that aren't uploaded, cause this is super old. Kele is a lot more muscular now. At least 2 years old.

[@ezkibela]

Your usual camera wasnt there 4 sure , who filmed it? You didnt took any good shot of them , their heads are cut....

[@WrathofTron]

Isnt this one old? I swear I saw this a long time ago

[@projectkaleidoscope]

@loveisanumber i feel you!!!! but no matter what came after Silent Alarm, i still think they're a great band beyond much of what's playing these days. =)

[@markjoness]

i freakin know!

[@fiverzi18]

=/ esperaba mas mucho mas

[@fredfo]

Isn't bloc party famous as hell? Or is that just me? The song is awesome tho, blockparty too!

[@carlo88moe]

@zero15541554 me too, that accent, im might love it more now tho

[@soundxcrash]

since for EVAH!

[@loveisanumber]

@Jays0nD hahah yeah no biggie. i still listen to them now (actually listening to them at this very moment) its just that I dont like any material after their debut album!

[@Jays0nD]

@loveisanumber Hey man I'm not here to hate :P Just wanted to make clear that he was slightly drunk. If you dislike them now then that's your opinion right? ^^

[@MuSe9542]

La vidéo c'est faite grâce au guitariste, il regarde le chanteur au moment ou celui-ci essaye de ce deffiler, il joue tout doucement le regarde et la le chanteur ce décide et après c'est un moment de grâce :)

[@projectkaleidoscope]

@loveisanumber .ps. not everything after Silent Alarm was bad though. A Weekend In The City had a handful of great tracks and so did Intimacy. maybe not as astounding as everything in Silent Alarm, but commendable nonetheless. and that's coming from a hardcore BLOC PARTY fan who saw them live 4x in just 2007 alone. =)

[@mramerecka]

Ah, cut him some slack, he's definitely drunk.

[@MCHENNEY]

I Haven't heard much after silent alarm but this is from silent alarm, you didn't think it was a great performance?

[@heoTheo]

It's funny that the guy has to pressure Kele so much. :P

[@quickgears]

what do you mean?!

[@loveisanumber]

bloc party...what happened? you used to be so good!

[@pwnedbyfishies]

@pwoni how?

[@tracymckinnon1550]

Here

[@loveisanumber]

i mean that 'silent alarm' was brilliant... after that it went downhill!

[@brassmonkeyweather]

@Nicoyutub lol, mind = blown

[@punkmusicmetal]

@heslostcontrol dude i bet these guys are tired. Trust me, no-one wants to be performer every single waking hour of their entire lives. They're people too, and they probably wanted to relax. that said, I'm glad this was forced on them... lol

[@TheophaneHB]

mince alors c'était y a 13 ans

[@Anderulio]

3:14 Moot ?¿?¿

[@titnut4]

What?!

[@loveisanumber]

@Jays0nD What I meant by my comment is that bloc party used to be a supebr, brilliant, fantastic band... now they are well, awful. Yesss haters gon hate, so go ahead and leave me nasty messages if you wish!
