Bombay Bicycle Club - Swansea // Acoustic

[@mathiasgomez6636]

2024 still my favourite band ❤

[@emuk233]

This is my favourite Bombay Bicycle Club song. The fact that all they need is two guitars, a snare drum and a boom box to create incredible music just proves how frickin BADASS these people are. I LOVE YOU BBC.

[@xxiLOVEcbxx]

RIP Bombay bicycle club, hope to see you guys again sometime!

[@twun011]

still patiently waiting #2018

[@Doganddj]

they announced they're creating a new album

[@ciroscala5300]

they are back :)

[@skeptikalmakhluk]

they've resurrected!

[@alfredo2lepe]

Haha I love these comments all next to each other

[@jaishalattacks]

gradually proving themselves as one of the best bands of this generation

[@alleegory6034]

This will never stop being beautiful to me.

[@edwinamceachran]

whoever films these bad boys is a legend. so good!

[@jajuboy]

only a few bands can make an acustic album and success, bombay bicycle club is a great example of it, love 'em.

[@ninoskapizarro730]

Miss them so much :(

[@rafalemos1]

me too. me too.

[@Valance_93]

10 years later.... Still here

[@crubba]

@stemannrocks the album notes says that the music is by jack steadman, lyrics by joanna newsom. the chords aren't "wrong" per se, they are different. jack has used the lyrics of the original but written his own melody.

[@GabriellaDWW]

he gives me goose bumps and his voice makes me cry it's so perfect ugh

[@markob1892]

It's a cover, but it's one of the most beautiful songs i've heard this year! A fantastic way to end an album!

[@alexmmckenzie]

a fantastic band covering a fantastic song.

[@kindofblue482]

I love the mellowness of this tune.

[@fattyproductions]

no wonder this song is beautiful....Swansea is beautiful!!!! In Wales of the UK

[@SharpReef87]

I really don't undetstand dislikers of such a beauty.

[@OlderWaiter]

easily the best joanna cover i've head. nice one.

[@73musicmusic]

[@alexgoesRawrrx]

Bombay Bicycle Club is hands down my favouritism

[@charlik89]

[@Alexwatchesvideopampam]

[@Tyteina]

makes me tear up, his voice is so beautiful

[@samanthaperez6001]

I love you guys, lyrics are so strong. I can't get enough.

[@JohnZeBags]

Absolutely Epic, big fan of Joanna Newsom, great cover. Mate from Uni went to school with these lads!

[@hopesmith1]

the info bar for this video/song is exactly right, there is no description available for how awesome, amazing and beautiful this song (all of their songs really) is!!!! Nice job guys!

[@RaeSandwich]

all their songs are amazing jack steadmans voice is amazing imma marry the band i just have to hahaha bombay bicycle club

[@HelvedSnooty]

such beautiful, simplistic music.

[@crubba]

i've tabbed this if anyone needs it. what a way to end an album with this beaut!

[@ClaraRomstedt]

I love Bombay Bicycle Club. I looove them. The new album will be one of the best this year, i think. ;-)

[@MonsoonWinds6]

I totally pressed the like button before I even saw the video cos' I knew it would be amazing.

[@Lucy187677]

Beautiful song....it´s my favourite from all songs I´ve ever heard :)

[@Nats2793]

Can't wait to see the acoustic tour

[@thatthereginger]

Jack's voice is so unique. Love it. :)

[@theblalockisabella]

Hear that? Perfect bliss ringing in my ears.

[@rasfatinah1984]

this gold i treasure the most

[@thatsnotmyname69]

this is beautiful.

[@jimmyjamwhambam]

@Ennia I still think they did enough to make this song better than the original! It trully is a masterpiece in my eyes.

[@melissadouville1489]

Still one of my favorites.

[@hazelrogers6563]

Beautiful 😍

[@clash44]

@Angealolo yeah it's the forearm and the palm of your hand (at first- if you don't learn to get away from this while finger picking though, you'll damage your wrist). Anyway, it's just about building muscle so you can apply pressure and keep the guitar from slipping for long periods of time

[@MartinHayfield]

Ed just standing there casually holding a massive (what ever the hell it is) and bobbing his head. Gotta love him

[@frijjfiji]

Love this song too much

[@TheAlexFrom1994]

I just learned this song in 5minutes! It's such a beautiful song and so easy to play :)

[@theirishdruidess]

Beautiful. Cheers.

[@KuNgPoAaWeSoMe]

Holding that boom box like a champ :D

[@baermtn]

@ScarlettStreet to back my claim up, the lyric booklet reads: "All these ghost towns, wreathed in old loam (Assateagu knee-deep in sea foam) -- Ho Swansea! Buttonwillow! Lagunitas! Ho Calico!" joanna sings "swansee-ah", which rhymes with "lagunitas". it's not "swansee, a buttonwillow." that woudn't make sense. the name of the town in arizona is pronounces 'swansee-ah'.

[@GregoryKimberleyMoss]

so beautiful

[@riellylane7251]

Everybody, just so you know this is a cover of Joanna Newsom's song. They did an excellent job at it but I feel she should be acknowledged :)

[@gummybearparty1]

great cover

[@baermtn]

@ScarlettStreet that's not the swansea that joanna newsom is reffering to. she's referring to a ghost town in arizona.

[@daisyrod4758]

so pretty

[@rarasraharas]

I really miss you Boys

[@Edtheyak]

one of their nicest ones

[@ericnewton324]

great song

[@jimmyjamwhambam]

I adore this! And think they have done enough to put their own stamp on it. I really hate covers where they just play it the same as the original! Whats the point?

[@PinkpeLican1]

amazing

[@stufffromcatherine]

beautiful

[@luellapaddy]

this is just madly beautiful ♥ love love love is what i can say : )

[@loxylobotomy]

Yes. It's originally sung and written by Joanna Newsom on her album "Milk Eyed Mender.

[@SofiaBlueSky]

Great sound

[@Henners982]

What's the synth like sound (I think Ed is using)? Very nice on the ears.

[@JoshRSantiago]

what instrument is that black box? it looks really easy to play! (love joanna love this song)

[@chungmanaudz]

acoustic is the way forward, favorite band love their new style of music and videos (flaws)...

[@karlattwood9925]

Still here 2024 ❤

[@thicketwings05]

@crubba a stereo playing lucy roses' backing vocals and other stuff

[@Ulictricityful]

so goooooood.

[@vibetorpedo]

love the sound of that taylor he's playing, does anyone know which model that is?

[@MichelleHeighway]

I like your style! : )

[@blueglyn]

Bombay are awesome

[@chloecarbry9479]

This is my wedding song

[@LucaVincent]

what does 'how i d-twain?' mean?

[@autumn.chills]

And once again Ive fallen in love 3

[@crubba]

what does ed have on his shoulder?

[@randwan]

@bioken007 I would have me a listen to some John Martyn - preferably the Solid Air album. Fairytale Lullaby is actually originally his. He has some great folky stuff mixed with a whole load of other stuff. Hes awesome.

[@ArtsyPeter]

@cody fowler, because it makes him unique and good. Go see them love, the music is amazing.:)

[@T0pMan15]

what is swansea is it an animal?

[@niezlafaza]

@bioken007 maybe some album kings of convienence

[@chefkovic6628]

So much hate in the comments of this wonderful song, everybody should enjoy...

[@jonwhyte92]

the ginger dude is a ledge he always insanely chilled

[@joegj666]

Awe Inspiring

[@PeteHarleyMusic]

D - twain!

[@VicKyCusTard]

wonderful :)

[@pmpodge]

The information box says it all.

[@Angealolo]

How does he play his guitar so well without a strap!? Every time I try without mine I just feel it slip...

[@mayamagination]

Joanna Newsom is a genius

[@trainsomnia]

si me enamoro :)

[@BrettSmith92]

The most amazing acoustic music ive heard since nick drake.

[@909THEdon]

what the hell is the guy holding the ghettoblaster conrtibuting to the performance?

[@AreTheseYourCarKeys]

swansea represent :D

[@kandicebabi]

when they walk away at the end, im all like "baby come back, you can blame it all on mee"

[@loxylobotomy]

That's what a cover is. You can either keep it completely the same or change it up and make it your own. That's what they've done and its fantastic, but it is still a cover.

[@Obleddo]

Why Swansea?

[@lloydyboy88]

I love this band and the new material!my dads have stolen the album off me though which is a bit of a doomer!

[@ArtsyPeter]

I swear this is getting played at my funeral.

[@shonnabs]

does he nvr wear a guitar strap?!

[@alexgoesRawrrx]

*favourite

[@ennia2679]

I don't think Joanna Newsom gets enough credit for the song. Seems to be alot of people think they wrote this song. Still though, I'm in love with this band. I'm set on marrying Jack Steadman. What a hunky name

[@xxLiveLov3Laughxx]

This is shit?! Are you kidding me? This is really such a beautiful piece of music. And if you think this is "shit" then something is obviously wrong with you.

[@lovablebubble7]

Jack

[@joshburns1777]

Do they have to casually stroll off in to the distance in every music video they make? ;p
