Bloc Party - This Modern Love (Glastonbury 2009)

[@troxlotl]

Silent Alarm is really one of the best albums of the 2000s along side Hot Fuss and Is This It. Bloc Party's early albums were some of the best songs ive ever heard in my life.

[@Pizzahead97]

best albums ever*

[@alexgansert9936]

Probably my most listened to albums of all time.

[@bobrossantichrisst]

@YOUKNOWJM yes Turn on the brights lights is an essential album for sure

Don't sleep on Bloc Party , for those who attend their Silent Alarm tour, it was brilliant. They played the tightest since a long time and all looked very happy to replay the whole record for a crowd. The future record , with the Addition of Louise and Justin in the band will surely be a rebirth of the band !

[@evanpoole7829]

Managed to see them play on the 2nd stage at Victorious Festival in Portsmouth, they were absolutely amazing!

[@jameschapman1811]

saw them in brum at the acadamy on that tour, they were happy to be there and so were we. ive seen recently they are working on more stuff, they will always be the greatest for me!

[@TomRubicon5949]

I was there! The Silent Alarm tour was magical honestly.

Brilliant drumming, if you wanna see more sensational drumming have a look at transmission by joy Division, Stephen Morris 🤯🤯🤯

silent alarm is a genre-shifting-once-in-a-generation album. IMO the best album of the millennium so far, i never get tired of listening to it from start to finish.

Matt Tong is one of the greatest drummers of all time. Simply perfect every time... Unbeliavable

[@maxfink5212]

[@diegotadeucastro2260]

can barely keep the musical tempo. Lacks dynamics but is ok overall.

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

​@@diegotadeucastro2260 'lacks dynamics'. complete nonsense. Listen to So Here We Are for a start.

The world was just a million times better back then... no phones filming everything and people enjoying the moment. great atmosphere!

[@compusito]

Those good old golden days... 😢 This song is just perfect

[@ganymedeix9511]

Don't you start doing that bollocks on Bloc Party songs. You know what I'm talking about, the same shite Gen X does on old rave tunes where they're all like "hate me wife, had me kids, just wanna take e's and dance again! I MISS LIFE!", because I won't stand for it.

[@chrissowels1290]

The drumming is absolute nuts, so much energy, and that guy getting chucked about in his wellies. Class lol 😆

[@davegriffmusic]

Great band. I hung out with them backstage in 2012 - such softly spoken chaps, that make a huge noise.

[@Xzawdyk]

Hard to find artist like them nowadays. Last person I can name was Daniel Ceaser.

[@JK-xz1lt]

Oh god, I miss this era of my life.

[@YouTubeuser-yp8qk]

Just heard this song for the first time. Boy what a song.

[@nathandyer7256]

[@sie7100]

Letra: To be lost in the forest To be cut adrift You've been trying to reach me You bought me a book To be lost in the forest To be cut adrift I've been paid I've been paid Don't get offended If I seem absent minded Just keep telling me facts And keep making me smile Don't get offended If I seem absent minded I get tongue-tied Baby, you've got to be more discerning I've never know what's good for me Baby, you've got to be more demanding I will be yours I'll pay for you anytime You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness Jump right Baby, you've got to be more discerning I've never know what's good for me Baby, you've got to be more demanding Jump left What are you holding out for? What's always in the way? Why so damn absent minded? Why so scared of romance? This modern love breaks me This modern love wastes me Do you want to come over and kill some time? Throw your arms around me

Hahaha, I came from there too, I have been watching them from july

[@AmarDamwani]

I started watching from the new year night 2021!❤️

[@AmarDamwani]

I just love how the entire episode was directed, and this song representing 2 opposite emotions in the season 1 finale. Ted's happiness and Marshall's heartbreak moment..

[@nicholasdalessio3637]

That's why I'm here to lol I love HIMYM

[@jonanicholls2710]

the drummer... so good

[@ozzgonzalez7165]

Bloc Party is just an amazing riff machine.

[@matthtoob595]

This is Bloc Party at their absolute peak. Was their peak sooner than we all wanted? Sure. Are we still grateful their peak was as incredible as this? Damn straight.

[@grahtman]

When the other guitarist comes in and the bass drum is just hitting is so insanely good! What a sound!

[@krs3612]

Anything from Silent Alarm brings me next level nostalgia, the stranglehold this album had on me in 2004 was immense. Seeing them live will forever be one of my fondest memories growing up.

[@razldazl8292]

It tugs at my heart seeing them like this. It bring back memories and a nostalgia for something I wish I had. Definitely one of my top bands. Love them

[@capgorski]

Just CHILLS listening to this. An unbelievably good love song.

Yes but I like that accolade goes to Dave Grohl...watch him drum on Mantra = he's a human metronome!

[@Joegriffussy]

Idk really, I really love bloc party but I think some of their best songs or silent alarm as an album feels like a good depiction of autumn, the warmth of Summer still being around but undercut with the melancholy of winter creeping in.

[@nievesofficial]

@@JoegriffussyYeah, Silent Alarm is purely a cold weather/winter album for me, I think the album cover is the perfect visual to encapsulate it

[@dontthrowtheslant1236]

Carter and Craig DEFINITELY nailed this song with that scene. This song fits incredibly well about Ted and Robin. When Ted goes to her with all of the blue instruments, he basically asks her all of the questions below. And she turns him down. What are you holding out for? What's always in the way? Why so damn absent minded? Why so scared of romance?

[@indexical1897]
