[@tostare]

You know when a band has been around for a few years and you heard them on the radio and kinda liked them but didn't pursue it, then there's a tipping point and you're like OMG THAT BAND and just want to listen to them all the time?

[@abigailbodenham4171]

+tostare the feels bro

[@sme11sea]

Remarkably accurate

[@caiofabar]

+tostare hell yes.

[@omonraify]

+tostare and you throw yourself a one-person party :D

[@AusterityMatt]

so true, i've been searching for this song for the past 4 years!

[@jackfrags]

I can't understand what they are saying but I like it.

[@graveloot]

Hello jackfrags

[@Ella-ki9kq]

[@jeetsarkar184]

oh ! jackie . keep focusing on bf 2042 and cod warzone 2.0

[@jackbroad6109]

Don't sleep on this band, folks. They are one-of-a-kind and very special. We are lucky to be alive while this music is being made!

[@inshallah295]

So mad that a single man's voice can produce such ethereal sounds, the notes he's reaching are incredible!

[@brandonthesteele]

That feeling when the band you discovered a month ago has been putting out incredible hits for 8 years

[@roastysprouts1004]

[@HamEggsButteredToast]

OH SCREW ALL OF YOU now I can't unhear it! xD

[@ThePaperGangsta64]

i can't believe you've done this

[@T_G88]

Why though. Why you gotta do dis

[@beccasharkey2827]

I remember listening to this song close to when it first came out and someone's comment saying the chorus sounds like "I got wasabi in my eye".. 4 years later coming back after not listening to it in that time, I still cannot hear anything but "I got wasabi in my eye" now :')

[@icttwagbf]

you've ruined it 😂 that's all I can hear now

[@TjTj74]

Me too😉

[@kaylamanor]

I’m back here in 2023 and it’s been a solid decade of randomly singing “I’m at the border, at the, at the border!” throughout my day, every day.

[@1962CarterUSM]

Surely the most inventive and exciting band in Britain right now.

[@rypumpsiron186]

Four walls and a cauldron of Kalashnikoving, and our home is a trigger that I'm always pulling At the border, at the, at the border I'm at the border, at the, at the border The short spears and the weak eternal monologuing, and our war is the crucible of all your longing At the border, at the, at the border I'm at the border, at the, at the border I was there when the clamour got real I was there when your brow smashed the wall It's like a riot with only two perps, the more I'm here I'm making it worse But does it feel like you're already dead? (YES!) and do you feel like your brain stopped delivering? Yeah break my finger shoot out my black eyes, What does it matter if everyone dies? Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! Hi-O Silver away So fast hence take an arrow from your quiver or we're, past-tense - what's a trilobite to anyone? I'm outta my depth, outta, outta my depth I'm outta my depth, outta, outta my depth My head reels and I'm crawling down the corridor, I can't see, but I'm heaving like a holocaust I'm reaching my phone, reaching, reaching my phone I'm reaching my phone, reaching, reaching my phone You wasn't there when I orphaned that boy, (NO!) Your body was, and the white of your rollin' eye I saw some terrible things on that night, I done a lot of bad things with my life I put my fingers in thee, And I breeze past security! Nobody checking on all of my deeds, I need a checker for all of my deeds... Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! And we be trapped in the amber, last joy... And I'm looking at a holy ghost. But there's no silver bullet for a memory I, field dress every moment but you're telling me that Tonto say; I've lost my way! Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! Hi-O silver away! Mmm, and I'm lost and I'm drained... 'nuff genuflecting in a penitent way! Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! So yippee-kayay! Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone! Hi-O silver away!

[@chickennuggetsrosales4553]

thanks so much for posting this comment... im sure it will help many people learn the song... well... it helped me

[@chickennuggetsrosales4553]

Ry Tekkerz Well its the truth XD

[@volpilh]

Weak internal monologuing. Not eternal. Internal monologue is a psychological term for your "internal" voice, ie. your self-consciousness. When it's weak, you have little control over yourself.

[@father042]

This band only gets better with age

[@mysticoncrack]

U used to listen to this all the time it came into my head today wanted to hear it again

Most interesting band i've ever heard that comvines rock, electro, funk and some of that house/dance feel

[@toastynoggin]

[@sarahhaley1977]

Apparently, Van Halen, Slayer and most Norwegian black metal bands love Everything Everything. And Cliff Richard is obsessed by them too. good work.

[@kildogery]

They're in massive in Malaysia.

[@TheBergenCity]

Show me that link that shows that norwegian black metal band love this

[@vinnsoctopours7937]

Thanks for honesty, Jonathan. We've all seen some terrible things (on certain nights), as well as doing a lot of bad things with our lives... You are not alone! Looking forward to album 3!

[@joshman531]

So I Listened to this on repeat while reading the Silmarillion and now this song just fills my head with scenes from Tolkien.

[@72JamJars]

Huh, I’ll need to try that!

[@cameranishere]

They're nice enough to sound relaxing. Weird enough to not get overly mainstream radio play, and smart enough that you wouldn't be surprised if Bo Burnham was a fan.

[@gobarn1877]

I wasn't expecting a mention of Bo Burnham here but it totally agree with this comment from 4 years ago!

[@sunk_korgi5784]

This comment aged like a fine wine 🍷👌

[@jamiemc7777]

Remember the first time BBCR1 played this back in the day, It was followed by Black Chandelier, Good times Good Music

[@diannebreault6776]

Never heard anything like that song, so different

[@notrombones5041]

I don't know what they put in the drinking water in Manchester, England to produce so many great bands, but I think they should try to bottle the stuff and sell it in music stores sround the world. ---- "Get your authentic Manchester Rock & Roll Water!" It'd be bigger than Evian. lol

[@shweezel]

Less fluoride.

[@JimGriffOne]

You can't make this stuff up. This really is as good as it sounds.

[@sunchildtine]

Didnt like the song first but it grew on me.

[@majgat]

awesome opening gig for Muse, one of the most amazing supporting band I have ever seen and heard!!! CHeers guys!!!!

[@eugenehutz2594]

"I need a chicken for all of my deeds." ^^

[@Dermacrosis]

+Eugene Hütz Damn you, you little sod. I will now hear that from now on. You should be ashamed of yourself :p

[@eugenehutz2594]

+Dermacrosis Is it better than " Who's gonna sit on your face (fence / Suffragette Suffragette) when I'm gone?" mishearing lyrics, isn't it? You are very welcome xx

[@Dermacrosis]

***** Re-edit your post yt as screwed up again on the edit front.

[@eugenehutz2594]

+Dermacrosis it looks ok?

[@Dermacrosis]

***** Yep. Don't ask me why but yt seems to be messed up on contractions when you edit. Well it could be worse atleast that is sit. ;D If you want misheard lyrics that stick in your head search for "O Fortuna" one sang by a choir. That will really stick and you will be amazed at a couple of points with how they manage to keep a straight face. :D I reall do wonder sometimes where the misheard lyrics come from but some of them are understandable. Mind you when they are good misheard lyrics they can be better than the originals.

[@carlottachiaramonte9877]

I'm an Italian girl, my English level is B2 AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD OF THIS SONG JUST LISTENING TO IT

[@Davinuff23]

I'm english and i do understand some words but not the sentences. I don't mind either i just like how it sounds.lol

[@scarlettkara2762]

Oh, but the lyrics *are* wonderful though. Rhyme and meaning and everything

[@jeetsarkar184]

ah ! perfect . Just perfect . still listening this like after 8 or 9 years .

[@Mitch-Cumstein]

How did I know this song before I knew Everything Everything?

[@arsivbeyin]

holy voice.

[@m-theoryx175]

I love this guy dancing. adds to this amazing song

[@CheeseyMilkshakes]

supported the kaiser chiefs on Bristol couple months back, were absolutely amazing

[@Millbro82]

Dude doing all the handstands is crazy. Must be out of this world in shape to do that.

[@nightskyarchitect]

saw them live tonight for the first time. not been a massive fan (in the sense I don't listen to them as much(not really sure why I bought a ticket tbh). However, glad I did. this song was amazing live. probably the best of the night alongside distant past (which I know and love from Fifa 16) and Photoshop Handsome (which I'd never heard of but now absolutely adore) tonight definitely converted me

[@robc935]

Great follow up to their first CD. Do your self a favor and buy the CD, the lyrics are amazing. Higgs is a genius.

[@darkbluemullet]

Yet again an utterly addictive song. Every song is so polished and catchy. One of the top bands of the last few years.

[@rory90FiVe]

That bass for the pre chorus is elite

[@morrisey1970]

Saw them this week for the second time this year...best, most refreshing, enlivening stuff i've come across for years, certainly in terms of depth - every song us really good!!!

[@williepadin]

This band is sooooooooooooo amazing! I am highly entertain and cant stop listening to this music!

[@indiajazz]

My God,heard this on radio 1 last night with my daughter in the car.....brilliant stuff and so refreshing to hear sommat as classy as this!

[@nirvanagirllovesrock]

Listening to this for the first time in 10 years. It's even greater than I remembered. So intricate, fresh, and unique.

[@Dermacrosis]

I can find only one fault with these guys. The lead singer dyed his hair blond. Bad move he looks so much better with dark hair. That is how minor my gripe is. It won't stop me enjoying their music thankfully. Keep up the good work lads.

[@foxhoundfrolic]

I kinda like him with blonde hair, but hey ho, each to their own lol.

[@Dermacrosis]

Very true.

[@loquaciousq3058]

I can't stop, once the song starts I'm enthralled, captivated, and vaguely sad when the song ends

[@Ducksfairytale]

Because in London we know how to appreciate a variety of brilliant music :)

[@peppersweet77]

love how the song starts and woahh, this guy who does this artistic dancing thing is so amazing, unbelievable!

[@sirsteroebuck]

such an underrated band

[@stachiano]

Arc is one smokin' album.

[@shrew972]

...but so weaker than their debut :(

[@stachiano]

Oh? unfortunately I haven't been graced with their debut; to be honest, I assumed this was it. I'll look into that, ta!

[@soundsbureaux]

stachiano yeah man, get on their first album, Man Alive. It's fantastic. In particular, Photoshop Handsome, Schoolin and Suffragette Suffragette.

[@marylinikalinkamary]

These guys were incredible at lollapalooza berlin last weekend !!!!

[@Hattipillar]

saw this song live in October last year! I recommend them!!

[@ichbinjezter]

heard this track on the radio and missed the name. Glad I've finally found it here!

[@nikelliott9057]

I dont know why but this song always makes me feel so emotional 🥲

[@Jcop42]

"enough genuflecting in a penitent way" means enough bending one knee to the ground in a sorrowful way.

[@kiransistla6013]

So sad that abstract music is so less appreciated. Everyone wants music on love, sex, drugs. I'm so glad that i came over EE since their arrival and i can't stop listening to them.

[@MyLifeIsWrite]

I looked at a lyrics video... Thought I now knew the lyrics... Nope... But omfg, this song, just this song. Yes. Just yes.

[@exsappermadman25055]

Underrated genius...

[@ColumRogers]

Just saw them at HMV and they were perfection. Thanks guys for a great performance!!!! :D

[@sarahhill3455]

have to say brilliant - love his voice!! Totally in my head! Love it!

[@kittylover362]

I heard this song on the radio ages ago and I've been searching for it ever since. I've finally found it and I think I'm going to cry. It's so good.

[@TwistedFaceMan]

It's like he's trying to fill the place of a once present female singer. Playing it off as nothing has changed. I really enjoy this song.

[@SirKendalMintcake]

This song is self-propelled! It's bloody incredible! I've been looking for this one for a while now, ta for posting! :-)

[@notrombones5041]

Frikkin' great band. Thank god for Jools Holland for having them on his show, otherwise I'd never have known about 'em. Completely original group. Like no other.

[@godmac28]

I am with you on that mate. Jools is a legend.

[@polyesterpoontang]

Every single thing about this band is good. I can't get their songs out of my head, which is fine by me.

[@KingCarrotCake]

I'm actually really glad that these guys are getting the recognition they deserve.

[@DaveZilla02]

Believe it or not this entire song is a tribute to _The Lone Ranger_

[@TheAkhtard95]

+Davysama not quite, it's language is inspired by the lone ranger. According to one of the band members it's about turbulent relationships and loneliness within them

[@DaveZilla02]

TheAkhtard95 yeah I probably should've worded that better lol

[@TheAkhtard95]

+Davysama no worries, it let me feel especially smug about myself haha

That dancer is gorgeous, and quite badass. I give it to them, the woods/nature is one of the best places to dance. I danced on a trail walk a few days ago. Anyway, just got into everything everything, this song, introduced to me by my friend. I must say, he's got his own style with some peter gabriel and dmb splashed in there. Diggin' it!!

[@Dermacrosis]

Damn I remember when I could do those moves. It was in the neolithic so there are no vids of it, though there may be some engravings with Dino on the side lines :-) Funny thing is what is considered an old persons problem meant I couldn't do them 5 years later, arthritis is a bugger. What would cause more surprise now is back then I was a seriously fat so and so, so much so I made preggers women look slim and had moobies that made my mum jealous, and yet I could still get both ankles behind my neck and look at my guiche (perineum). :-D~ To make this on topic, still loving the song as much as when I first heard it on the now, sadly, dead xFM.
