Hey look here
With your holocaust lovers
And your old pullovers
And you faux first smiles again
Claiming you're a nonconformist
To rags, wheels, hide what you feel
What a fear
What a fear
What a fear
Falling into the ocean as it chops and cracks
Dance in eternal darkness
Your lungs are harnessed never to see day again
What a fear
What a fear
What a fear
Fallen on the bathroom floor
Tired of the rising shore
Bleeding on the bathroom floor
Laying on the bathroom floor
What a fear
What a fear
What a fear
I love it how you love me so
Then you come and take my culture and go
I'll never tell you what I know
I'll never tell you what I know
What a fear
What a fear
What a fear
Hey, mayday
You wanna save me, save me?
Hey, mayday
You wanna save me, save me?
You'll never be another lover
Another lover, another lover
You'll only be a poor relation
Poor relation, Poor relation
You'll never find your powerful roar
Powerful roar, powerful roar
You'll never find your powerful roar
Powerful roar, powerful roar
What a fear
What a fear
What a fear
What a fear, fear, fear
Hey, mayday
You wanna save me, save me?
Hey, mayday
You wanna save me, save me?
Hey, mayday
You wanna save me, save me?
Hey, mayday
You wanna save me, save me?

Idles will be the biggest band on the Planet mark my word!

[@pink1928]

Good comment.

[@christiantheen3145]

THEY ARE!

[@willh969]

They’re getting there

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

It's "I Will Follow" for 20 seconds and then it's pure Idles!

[@EvilFeevil]

I thought the same thing

[@Louis-yj7dw]

Exactly thank you as soon as I heard it first few seconds I went right to comets and see if anyone else acknowledged this😂❤🎉 I absolutely f****** love it I've been aware of them for a couple years now but really going down the rabbit hole last night and I'm on the verge of becoming insanely obsessed with them

[@christianspanggaard]

A shame they don't really revisit this song live anymore

[@EvilFeevil]

I wonder if it would help if they knew how much the fans liked it?

[@Mag77550]

@@EvilFeevil Entièrement d'accord !!

[@kriisguimaraes]

I think this is my favorite, but it's so hard to choose a favorite. Idles it's just incredible for me

[@itsmejerkface]

Dude. I'm obsessed.

[@LokalDane]

I feel so stupid, this came up on my spotify and i though it was new. I love it and its my favorite too! For now.

[@acidfilth2007]

IDLES are something special

[@gwen_the_badger3042]

It is the best, no doubt for me!

[@acidfilth2007]

Yes!!! It's like hearing old school punk or David Bowie for the first time. It's brand new and genre bending. And they have an amazing moral and ethical message

[@chaoticodin09411]

[@joecasey5529]

The anger in the vocals is fucking amazing, fully gave me goosebumps

[@ohno6825]

Joe Casey same

[@phxnigtmare]

you should hear the new stuff lol

[@chuckeddy2588]

Gives me MOOSEBUMPS

[@peteford2434]

To me it's not anger.. it's the sound of desperation. I love it.

[@antoniobraun7905]

Hey guys! Their songs have managed to revive the rocker spirit of a 50-year-old man, I love them, and I hope they do a show in Argentina, (not at a festival) they are geniuses!

[@AC-hw5rs]

I fully agree, glad you're enjoying it my friend

[@peteford2434]

55 here in Toronto, Canada and love this.

[@lenonel3286]

Mal sólo vienen a los lollapalooza

[@Mag77550]

Un pur bijou 💎 ce morceau !! Faut le jouer tout le temps en live s'il vous plaît 🎤🎶🙏🗣

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Honestly though everyone is preferring brutalism, but i love the vocals on this song

[@tommyrandall3489]

Nah, here he's doing that weird pronunciation thing that people keep being taught to do when they sing.

[@nondescriptbeing5944]

@@tommyrandall3489 wdym

[@lukess.s]

@@nondescriptbeing5944 he means he's doing the weird pronunciation thing that's been a trend amongst mostly unremarkable singers for the past 30 years

[@tonygarcia1438]

makes me very said that i most likely will never hear this song live from them

[@theresatowelonthefloor8355]

it's so cool to see how their sound evovlved,here the melody sounds a lot like something Foals would put out...their style has definitely changed! Great song nonetheless

[@jlmctama]

That intro sounds a lot like "I Will Follow" from U2, love both of these songs.

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

It's virtually identical. Clearly a nod to U2! Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Idles... Nothing wrong with a bit of plagiarism!

[@gwen_the_badger3042]

THIS is by far my favorite IDLES song, or wait, is it Samaritan? Can't decide - I just love your pure energy, no matter if it is an uptempo piece or something incredible beautiful like this. It's like how my relationship with New Model Army started back in 1988. I never felt such an instant love for an artist ever again since then, but you made it for me. An understanding from deep within and without any doubt. Just keep it up, I hope to see you guys live some day, when the corona madness has left us.

[@FWFWFWF]

Sounds a lot like U2's "I will follow"

[@TheeBanshee]

That's a beautiful way to say that

[@futariTV]

@@FWFWFWF I always think the same :D

[@god_pharaoh6111]

why does this song make me cry but frick i love it

[@FirewallFrontiers]

Emotion in the sound. True musicians.

[@dillydally7327]

When the “Hey Mayday, you wanna save me? Save me?” hits! 🤤

[@MorgueOfficialMusic]

One of the few bands I can think of that started off mellow and got heavier over time. Usually goes the other way

[@TheeBanshee]

RIGHT! I noticed the same thing. I just found this today after thinking I had a very clear idea as to what Idles sounded like (gruffy Cockney boy slaying politics) and boy was I wrong

[@MorgueOfficialMusic]

@@TheeBanshee Hmm. Definitely not cockney, they are from South West not London

[@crawler3741]

Add killing joke to that list

[@Napoli24LI]

This masterpiece is so underrated!

[@ShortRound42]

I get a U2 vibe in the beginning, then like Mike Patton, Faith No More later albums feel.

[@paolodavidrosasgarcia3917]

my favorite song

[@gwen_the_badger3042]

This is still my fave IDLES song... or - my fave song ever. @IDLES is it true that you will never play this live? Why? It's soooooooooooooooo so good!!

[@nigelroberts9716]

It's pre Leeeeeeeee

[@JuganautTimelapse]

Over the weekend became a massive fan of this band. Thought the track they sang at Glastonbury was good but listened to quite few more tracks by them and they have this very rare thing which is they are so are freaking hypnotic and the lyrics are spot on. Keep at it lads...I really like what yo are doing !

[@christinelagoutte3692]

Just discover them on a French radio tonight. I'm bloked on youtube listening them, I think i'm gonna spent all night I love them, so special!

[@Jonathan-pl7fo]

Underrated song

[@Interluudes]

Genius song, chorus drops amazingly

[@chastonbaird7487]

Has anyone heard Tropical F*** Storm? It's like listening to this on acid.

[@brandofieldo9753]

or King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard... but most people who like idles I'm assuming are atleast familiar with Gizz, but who knows

[@lucashallwas]

in my opinion, that's their best music

[@aaronwalker5253]

Heavy Yearbook vibes

[@lornaamcwatty5501]

The music reminds me so much of Sonic Youth at times. So in love with them. My most recent obsession.

[@straaak3542]

at the boston show last week, joe said that the day they play meydei live is the day he cuts his fucking face off lol imagine going back in time and showing these guys the song and also just the music video for colossus lol. hell, even mother

[@Sergiotanaz]

Why he hates this song or what?

[@thenavajoknow]

Still looking for their voice...but that's part of the process. You always start by imitating what you like.

[@richardcarr6715]

I agree, it might be for other reasons but i think that's why they took their time to write and release brutalism

[@Yamathasnfia]

Man I wish these guys would come to the States, I would be willing to drive to a different state to see them unless they would come to Michigan, come on fellas come see the Golden Ring the Golden butt Ring

[@tomasa-m5643]

They are in May my guy

[@Louis-yj7dw]

I thought it was going to be in I will follow cover these dudes are insane I love them immensely🎉

Does anyone else remember hearing this in an ATV Offroad Fury type of game? I could SWEAR I've heard this in a game of that genre.

[@Gmanawesomeness]

No way. Someone please corroborate this, very curious now

[@eRapWMDX]

And they carry the torch passed on by The Clash.....

[@EvilFeevil]

What is Mark Bowen singing in the background? I pretend that he's saying "stop doing that" so I can sing along because I have no idea what he's really saying.

[@cristianc9384]

Hi from Colombia! Hope to see you someday. This fucking Bogotá Undergorund style is required here. Keep doing noise!!!

[@mcmoraes1]

Is it just chance or is the opening guitar riff almost identical to U2's "I will follow"?

[@TheArtZStyle]

Yeah i heard the same, it's actually different but same rythm so it sounds a bit like it

[@digitallabzmusic]

raaaa. dope. so well done ! 10/10

[@frederickfumblefinn8919]

Why was this record taken off of Spotify?

[@dombackay4806]

I was wondering the same, welcome is such a great EP

[@Dimension50]

Probs cause the intro sounds too similar to a well known U2 song.

[@annr9981]

I want it too

[@Ellier215]

Is Joe singing?

[@Ellier215]
