PLEASE PUT IT ON SPOTIFY PLEASE

[@bradyhampton8230]

These guys went to my college, they should be huge-time by now and I feel that this is the song that they need to release to get there!

[@TheDadsDaughter]

This IS WITHOUT DOUBT one of THE BEST songs in the WORLD

[@mrjackbenny]

What college was that?

[@joshuajackson4357]

Annoying thing is that they did release this but when they got signed to a label the label took it down from all streaming platforms!

[@jameslandre-smith168]

SAM BERRIDGE IS MY MUSIC TEACHER NOW

[@shanaarmstrong848]

Still listening in 2024. One of the most stunning songs I've ever heard. Those harmonies give me chills every time ❤️

[@indiemono]

Oh bloody hell, why FLYTE isn't famous yet? They're HUGE.

[@Sofarsounds]

+Indiemono Soon *fingers crossed*

[@rebeccaandgeorgia9037]

Indiemono b

[@nachoguida3474]

Yeah... I think the same.... they should be famous RIGHT NOW!! :)

[@istaphobe]

Indiemono Well, after sxsw Texas has caught onto them and the word is now spreading, I know I was impressed having had a few Texas friends turn me on and I just moved to Tampa, Florida and have brought them with me and turned others here onto them..so it should be like a week or two and they’ll be playing arenas...I’m kind of a big deal around here.

[@gmansid3576]

The best version I’ve heard, maybe it’s the acoustics of that room, but that song never sounded more good. Would’ve loved to be there that day.

[@blueprintblue6781]

They're so talented.

[@Sofarsounds]

+John Butler Truth!

[@thegers91]

Nice profile image👌

[@guyrsdunlop4631]

I am utterly transfixed. The rhythms from the guitars, the drummer and the harmonies are exquisite for the musical texture of the song. Only just been introduced to this song and the band - it brings pure joy.

[@Sofarsounds]

We are so glad you enjoyed! Thank you for sharing such kind words!

[@gmansid3576]

Yeah, love watching them as a four piece in the early days.

[@4RealHero]

An absolute gem, captured beautifully here.

[@Ragachagel]

This song is my ring tone (obviously not this particular version). I don't seem to grow tired of this song. I think it's because it's the musical equivalent of the word "Wow!"

[@gmansid3576]

I know just what you mean. Personally I would love this version in particular on Spotify.

[@twiggy695]

such an immaculate place for an amazing band to perform at. what a song! this could already be a music video...

[@compasskid]

Perfect venue for this song

[@TheDadsDaughter]

Amazing song sooooo please put it back on iTunes!!

[@lydiabaik]

I freeking love this performance so much! also props to Emlyn Spiers because the audio is fire too

[@jennakuebler6204]

I want to cry, this is leaving me breathless. Thank you so much, Flyte

[@RafaEl-oq9ok]

Same

[@redo1407]

Why my tears fall every time I listen to their songs? I cry at the same time I want to move my head and dance shittt, I love this feeling 😍

[@rienrien509]

Waaaa je tombe sur ce merveilleux groupe pil au moment où j en ai besoin ! Merci de me remonter le moral ! Ça fait du bien de constater que les nouveau groupe ne sont pas tous nuls !!!

[@kieranwhite5685]

thank you KARAKANA for introducing me to the amazing sound of FLYTE!!!

[@martinalexander4777]

Saw this lot playing support for Bears Den last night at Newcastle University Students Union for £22 quid. They just blew the room away with Marry Me Archie, I would have paid 22 quid just for that one song and Bears Den were also brilliant but it’s s wonderful to stumble into brilliant musicians. Please come back to Newcastle!

[@hughdavies5209]

We also saw them supporting Bears Den in Cardiff the other week and they were absolutely brilliant. Great act and definitely be seeing them when they tour solo next year

[@nathanialwoods4037]

I just happened to stumble accross this band but thank you sweet Jesus I did. They are fantastic.

[@madisonmclendon7191]

thank you sweet Jesus!!! seriously!!!

[@muntedsouls]

Love and light ladies and gents! I'M AWAKE!!! 💫💫💫

[@mcarter402]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFULL!

[@Sofarsounds]

Definitely, look out for these guys in the future

[@riscasuk4058]

One of our favourite Sofar moments, love it!

[@colinmckenna1272]

[@tangentialize]

These guys were AMAZING! Would definitely see them again. Spotted myself in the front row :)

[@Sofarsounds]

Nice! Thanks for joining us :)

[@alasdaircatmur9203]

just saw this song live in Glasgow on their post lockdown tour, utterly incredible!!!

[@stevenreid9579]

i love these guys,what a song.should have been no 1.i dont understand theyre limited exposure in the mainstreem media.They had a video for this song witch was great.now i cant find it?.almost seems like a concious effort by the media to keep this band off the radar.this song would have hit number one easy.Strange.you guys are fab!!!.

[@TheSupercaster]

+Steven Reid I think Flyte are going to re-release this song along with Faithless for their new album launch

[@guydumas564]

album coming this year, including faithless (banger) and some new songs that sound amazing, seriously

[@joyceonthekeys]

Awesome band. Hope they get to the U.S. sometime soon.

[@sol.mane35]

If we all survive this pandemic, this event seems a good start to have gatherings again. Take care out there.

[@jutifuly]

I really appreciate New Hope Club mentioned Flyte

[@kieranwhite5685]

FLYTE you rocccccccccccccccccccccccccck love the sound a few friends of mine KARAKANA give them a listen to!!!!

[@Baccy3333]

[@jo-jokisska4793]

Thanks Lewis Calamari! 🐙 😜😍✌🏽

[@molristevska5837]

please spotify

[@pierredsa6809]

where can we buy this kind of foot percussion?

[@natebennett8189]

Even fucking better than the studio version

[@wyattsexton7083]

Sounds like it's 1977

[@Kid_Gorgeous]

Why can't I buy this in 'murica?! ugh.

[@Sofarsounds]

+TheCrazykage One day. Fingers crossed for you.

[@rpx1979]

Great performance. Amazed that instead of digesting this talent using their senses, people insist on using their phones to watch through a tiny LCD screen on their twatty iphones.

[@redo1407]

Call above the atmosphere Kept on ice for 90 years Fading out on sleeping pills Camel blue and morning thrills I'm dying out and I need you to light me up, LIGHT ME UP Your body ride me I need you to LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP English break broke out the sun Seasons learning into one Make it flame and kerosine Diamonds, wine and racing view I'm dying out and I need you to LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP Your body ride me I need you to LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP The revolving doors with the high rise sin And the mothers smoke over kitchen sinks It's where the cameras flash and the mortals freeze And the writers block up the magazines Where the boys escape from the primary classes And grow moustaches and lens-less glasses We're losing weight and we're shedding skin But we're turning straight and we're tuning in And I'll take my pills and I'll make my bed And I find my phones and feed my head And I'll pay my way, get to work on time And I'll come home late every Friday night I'm dying out and I need you to LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP Your body ride me I need you to LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP I'm dying out and I need you to LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP Your body ride me So I need you to LIGHT ME UP, so LIGHT ME UP

[@gmansid3576]

Great. but I prefer the actual lyrics. 😂

[@skreed101]

Why have they removed all their old music from Spotify? Their new album is abit weak compared to this :/

[@midgesocks]

these guys are so good i'm always in awe
