[@rogan70]

Fun fact: Van always tries to keep song titles to only one word so that when they perform live, they can write the set list down on a single post-it note.

[@asifhoque2036]

I guess he was feeling especially lazy for 7

So true

I'll never forget meeting Van in a tobacco shop while buying a grinder, and then being on barricade and him pointing to me. And then seeing him again after the show. Good times.

[@evie8882]

I have just discovered this band and they are amazing. Great vocals, soulful guitar riffs, steady, but moving beat. This is what timeless music is made of.

I was just about to say this, as soon as 2:00 hits goosebumps

[@nbarriosss]

The guitar solo reaches the deepest part of my soul, miss them :’)

[@Drewski911]

Certainly one of the best bands to have come out of the UK/Wales during the past 10+ years. When I first heard them it was just like hearing The Strokes for the 1st time back in early 2001.

[@gianella2154]

oh god i miss them so hard :(

Saw these guys tonight at 93.3 Alt AZ's " 🎢 ugly sweater Christmas show!! They go harrrrrd, awesome energy at this performance.

[@user-dh6kp6bj6s]

the strokes are proper class so why ya'll hating if this is similar or whatever still a sick tune by a proper band can't wait for the ride

[@its_raining_nerds-4396]

I know right and the lead singer talked about how much he loved them. And someday is STILL my favourite song by the strokes

[@anothercommentor9631]

this song actually takes you on a fucking journey tbh. the verses sound like the colors blue and grey and white. the bridge sounds like the view of bright yellow streetlights and the orange-red tip of a cigarette glowing in the pitch black night. the guitar at the end of each line in the bridge just sounds like red streaks moving on a black background. and the fucking chorus, sounds like the sight of a car window covered in raindrops, the backdrop consisting of vibrant green grass and a gray-blue sky, blurred by the motion of the vehicle. the part where the lyrics mention talking about your background sound like a light grey background, or the way a piano looks, or the sight of a couple laughing together. the second time these lyrics are repeated, when the music builds up, it is like all of that but in yellow. the guitar solo is just red and yellow and grey. the last chorus is dynamically different from the others, this one is bright red and orange and yellow, a sounds like the way a Ferris wheel looks. I probably sound weird as fuck, and I don't know how or why this song sounds like those images, but it just does.

[@71hammyman]

What a complete waste of time

[@anothercommentor9631]

+71hammyman I'm sorry, is your negative and meaningless comment not a waste of time? I think it's really interesting to see how people perceive music, so I thought maybe I'd share how I perceived this song. I wouldn't be saying anything that I don't mean, or anything I don't consider somewhat valuable. I'm sorry that you consider another person's musical perception a timewaster. I suggest not reading an entire comment next time if you sense it will waste your time. For lack of better words, basically, if you don't like it, fuck off and don't read it.
