In Birdsong lyrics:
Red
The wild
The wild
The wild
The crackling
The leaping of white fire
And spider-like
The dance
Shimmering and crawling over me
A puppet man
A zombie
Lances from the blackness of my eye
I look into the Godmouth
The energy
The energy in us
There’s something in the white matter
Someone in the white matter
I hear song in reverse
Birdsong
Song in reverse
I hear me sing
A song
That I cannot begin to understand
The slaughter in the sky
Pulling on the magnet in my mind
The stench of it
The rendering
The energy
The energy of us
There’s something in the white matter
Someone in the white matter
I hear song in reverse
Bird
Song
Song in reverse
I hear me sing
There’s something in the white matter
Someone in the white matter
I hear song in reverse
Birdsong
Song in reverse
I’m vapour in your love
I’m vapour in your love

This band are the most underrated ever, they are up there with the best give them more love please

[@TwinLightsMusic]

Seriously. They are one of the most underrated bands of all time. They are the Radiohead for their generation. Its insane

[@SalvadorBrumov]

For real. When I stumbled across them and listened to all of Get to Heaven, I was blown tf away. fortune/future 500 is my favorite hands down and then tbh this one, then breadwinner lol

[@mattb9708]

Couldn't agree more. They hit that perfect spot, accessible yet interesting. In a just world "Duet" would be as popular as any Coldplay ballad.

[@johntate6537]

@@mattb9708 I know. Such a good song, like so many of their others. Similarly, I don't know, for example, of any song by anyone that is anything like No Reptiles. How many bands or individual singer-song writers are there that write songs that are unique? If there is any justice, they will at least be recognised in retrospect like people like Davie Bowie or Bjork - absolutely unique, brilliant, endlessly self re-inventing artists who have made a unique and irreplaceable contribution to music. [I don't feel like I've used the word 'unique' enough times in this post yet: unique!]

[@PumaFist]

One thing is for sure. Nothing else sounds like this song. It has my attention.

[@keithrichard2874]

Proper band. Plus, as its more apparent in this video, how spot on a singer is this chap??!! Complete control on vox. Beautiful #FullStop

[@tostare]

He is absolutely hypnotic to watch. Like you say the control is amazing.

[@Majician69]

He’s an absolute beautiful beast

[@Majician69]

He’s an absolute beautiful beast

[@Wcook09]

I did not appreciate his vocals enough before I watched this.

[@Gysklar]

As good as the studio version is, I very much prefer this version. Hope they release this version.

[@thesadprofessor]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. And I did not know EE a week ago...

[@TheHabiat]

if he pulled that off in one take and live, i am deeply impressed

[@victoriameagher2424]

This is so lonely and so uplifting simultaneously. Of the moment.

[@v---n]

It’s therapeutic seeing (and hearing) Jon sing this

[@doofstar57]

Yes, it's healing, isn't it?

[@jamiegollings]

What a gorgeous song this is. Not an immediate 'banger' in the vein of Desire or Can't Do from the last album, but this one builds like an epic. More like White Whale. Can't wait for the rest of the ablum.

[@davidsanderson5918]

What strikes me is how much EE's music has become much more about the vocals than the instrumentation. His performance is THE draw about this song. Wonderful.

[@sophoclese65]

Wonderful vocal control. The man can sing. Such a beautiful tune to boot.

[@claypigin]

I've watched this so many times. It makes my whole body tingle.

[@vangeassl5376]

I listen to this song everyday through lockdown it makes me cry it makes me smile it makes me happy, whatever it's about it's a good feeling

[@torstenweidner3554]

I love this band so much. What a stunning version this is, I wish they would release it officially ❤

[@charlieboy1087]

Here and to just bawl my eyes out again.

[@Totty-lz8go]

I stumbled across this song on itunes, it stopped me in my tracks and transported me back to my body when I didn’t even know that I’d left.

[@_reuben_.]

Beautiful! made EVEN better without the buffering in the livestream!

[@twostep919]

EE making music makes me optimistic in the face of all our world has become.

[@juliam7790]

So much talent. So much talent. So much talent. The way EE are underrated is the proof to me that people are deaf. And they don’t know it. Unfortunately this will be forever to me the lockdown song. Released at the height of my loneliness despair. So there will always be some sadness to it.

[@Gysklar]

This song is like Wizard Talk: The Sequel and I just love it

[@SaynaTheSpiffy]

Really? I'm surprised by this comparison. How so?

[@Gysklar]

​@@SaynaTheSpiffy The chords, melodic movement, and melody may be technically different, but they both are using the same toolkit in achieving a very similar vibe. Both songs are heavily composed of ethereal synths that have a driving and pulsing undercurrent the whole time that make the songs both otherworldly and distant yet powerful and impactful all at once. They just really seem like sister songs that connect the band's past sensibilities with their current. Both songs distinctly match the era they're from but both scratch the same itch and vibe. II feel t's a really cool way to compare where they are now with where they started by looking at the two songs which really seem to me to be aiming for the same sonic target.

[@claytonblackwell1223]

The artistry at every-point has continued the pursuit of neglecting the ego... Such a solid line of progression at (of) chipping away / refinement. Truly a continued inspiration for me. Thank you, E.E.

[@jcalderwood1]

I liked this even more than the single. The popping synths were awesome blending with the vocals!

[@panoptos4163]

Superb track by a devastatingly underrated band.

[@alphabrenna]

I hope this ends up on a *new album*. Love from the crumbling U.S. ❤️🎈

[@siphoenix91]

Saw them live in Leeds and what a voice this guy has!

[@kreg3283]

the polyrhythm in the live version is so much more apparent!! I love it! thank you for this high-quality live version

[@fabiolabotechia3830]

What a Singer! What a band!

[@benbennit]

Holy jezus mother luving birdbath. That was some mighty singing.

[@Baltabak]

I feel like a thousand pounds of velvet sky blue cloth is cascading down upon my body, the weight building to immense, unbearable pressure until my breathing is slowed to a bare gasp, all the while the cloth dissolves into bit-crushed aether

[@AWhileHanlin]

Wow thats nice I just felt drunk. I guess we're not all lyrical

[@juliam7790]

Beautiful description.

[@eddielong96]

I'm SO happy i found these brits in 2015. Its been a rocky 5 years and I really can say my life would be so much darker without your music.

[@leonmac2078]

Absolutely stunning. Brings a tear to my with every listen

[@ManCalledMif]

modular synth and soaring vocals. what a mix ❤️🧘🏼‍♀️👏🏼

[@celsoalvarez1]

beautiful, beautiful.....crazy song !!!!

[@gameoverwehaveeverypixelco1258]

I hope this is available to buy as a single, I like this version a lot.

[@virginiacanu4954]

This was the closest I’ve ever got to an Everything Everything show... thank you ❤️

[@CarlosGarcia-vz5gd]

Una se las sesiones más especulares que haya visto!! De verdad que son increíbles

[@tomsweetman1453]

Was so looking forward to seeing you play with the foals, this will have to do till next year. Hope you’re all well x

[@seanderbyshire6195]

Endorsed by The Killers, and rightly so. Great song, and a brilliant version. Thanks!

[@rfcalm]

They would laugh at that endorsement. The killers pumping out boring empty albums these days and EE continuuing to be super relevant and as deep as the oceans on top of showing no sign of letting up

[@seanderbyshire6195]

👀

[@angmering5899]

@@rfcalm Would they laugh? If there's any band in the industry that I'd expect to reject music snobbery, it's these guys.

[@rfcalm]

Angmering yes! a very interesting point. I shouldn’t have used that idea to highlight my point. 😉

[@gioiaapollonio4309]

John you touch my soul

[@RichardMichaelScott]

Good God, this is surreal and so much better than anything I have heard from any band in decades. I am HERE for this, and everything EE does. Good grief they should be as big as those wretched things that populate the airways.

[@foggytown80]

Maybe the best song of 2020. Stunning.

[@kayford9300]

Missed you guys so much! My day just got a whole lot better xxx

[@joewesterland5697]

I wasn't actually sure how I felt about this song at first but then I noticed how it buitifully bursts into life from its more digital opening very suddenly without drawing attention to its self too much. The chord structure is really cool and the melody is stunning!

[@RonJhadm]

Y'all need to come to Malaysia man!

[@johnmarriott3982]

What a wonderful performance. Just so haunting. Like watching your home planet crack open. Do to you have new music out soon?

[@darylloth3237]

My taste for music is very broad and I absolutely love this song. I am also an audiophile nerd so am delighted that this version was produced so much better than the "studio" version on YT that has such unbearable random distortion toward the end that it seems like a production mistake and not an intentional artistic addition. If it was intentional, so be it. If it was a mistake could someone possibly re-upload it? Just my two cents. Edit: Just re-listened to the studio version and it appears they fixed the audio. Thank you whoever you are. Now there are two amazing versions. (But if I were to nitpick I would ask that the level of the insanely good and haunting vocals on this video be brought up relative to the music track). Just being a bit of a pedantic twat I know. I'll see myself out. Keep making amazing music.

[@Gastya777]

Love this band so much!

[@ghostliquid7259]

While Higg's vocals and EE's lyricism are certainly the main draws for the band (IMHO), I feel like this is the first time I really, really want an instrumental version for an EE song. Higg's voice is beautiful/unique - don't get me wrong - but this is a particurarly excellent showing from Robertshaw/Pritchard/Spearman. If there's a new album in the works, I'm super excited to hear that acerbic EE wit paired with a renewed emphasis on instrumental only sections.

[@dpugh60]

Amazing as always this is now stuck in my head lov ❤️ it

Best band ever. Proper looking for another band who’s as diverse as these guys. Any suggestions? Not that these aren’t enough because they are. My collect of contemporary can’t consist of only Everything Everything lol. Ps if I was a billionaire I’d donate at least 100m to these guys for another 1 album! 🙌🏻
