King Creosote & Jon Hopkins - Bats In The Attic (Unravelled) (Official Video)

[@sonnyboyfranco]

This song is making me cry the first real tears I’ve felt in two years. It makes me think of him, even though neither of us would have heard this song. I know I’ll never get him back. At this point, I just hope he’s happy.

[@Iamanalice]

this man could sing the telephone directory to me...such a captivating voice..a gift for sure!

[@charlottesleet]

Lay down on a dark room with your eyes shut to this song - perfect.

[@allthebigtrees]

I get goosebumbs every time I watch/hear this

[@lifeisjusta]

Same

[@glenlittlejohn2412]

Yep, me too.

[@LyraMotte-bn9yz]

This song feels so safe and familiar even though I’ve never heard it before. It feels like growing old in comfort. Somewhere by the water, somewhere quiet, somewhere warm with a gentle breeze, sunset on a porch and a hot cup of Chamomile tea. Holding hands with the only person who has ever and will ever know you.

[@mandokir]

On repeat... forever.

[@askidbarrett]

Went to see him at Hawick last year and it was a beautiful gig. He spoke to everyone individually on arrival and had all the time in the world. Music for music sake rather than money.

[@cynthiap7741]

I don't know how to describe how amazing KC is. He makes me cry and Keats is the only other who has done that!

[@amandabbentes]

this is one of my favorite songs in life. i like the melancholic feeling of nostalgia it brings idk. wish this was the version on spotify tho.

[@francoisdesmeules5785]

[@willemmmmm]

This version is on Spotify as of 2012 lol

[@lifeisjusta]

When I listen to this song, I feel a pang in deep of my heart. what a beautiful song and voice

[@misuniversal]

Another song that should have more than 1million views..........

[@rAndomlight1069]

One of the best Scottish artists today, certainly most interesting. Just my opinion.

[@ignatiusanayawa8414]

Ended up here from watching The Sarah Republic tv show episodes 13 - great song!

[@TheJohnsonmobile]

Diamond Mine is a brilliant album. This and 'John Taylor's Month Away' stand out anyway. Can't believe I only found out about this guy through Jon Hopkins, though... he keeps himself under the radar.

[@PacifierMusic]

This song connected with me like nothing I’ve ever heard before. So beautiful. I want to believe it’s about growing old and not realizing your dreams. Maybe because of my own sadness. It’s comforting though.

[@chimaera41]

Seeing Ben live means you ARE living your best life ❤️

[@Goldenone333]

My son shared this song with me. I really enjoy it. Thank you so much. ☮️🦋🌻

[@zellfalcon31]

I think the song is saying that the older he gets the more he looks back at his life and is disappointed in what his dreams became or didn't come to fruition at all. The soul and body grow old and static like bats in the attic. He is sad because of this.

[@Sam-lm8gi]

Billy Boyd brought me here. Brilliant stuff.

[@joshuarausin]

No joke! Love the friendship onion, interesting music guys.

[@adorablelittlecat]

We're using this song in our school's production of Macbeth and it's perfect! Makes me cry so much, our Macduff and Lady Macbeth are AMAZING, and they cry to this :'(

[@lifeisjusta]

Woww. What a beautiful story! And it has been 10 years! Sending love

[@skatefarmerftw]

The lyrics to this song are amazing

[@francoisdesmeules5785]

this is of an extraordinary beauty. Very underesteem ARTIST.

[@Nickdude6]

“That man was shot directly in the feels, he was alive before he hit floor...never seen anything like it”

[@tristanmules7995]

a life-saving kind of tune

[@Guille495]

It's a really sweet yet sad kind of tune Love it

[@djprojectzero8]

Lyrics: And I've gone so far in my travels, Growing silver in my sideburns I've started to unravel Heard my heartbeat on a downhill, I counted 18 on my pulse As Kilrenny clock struck three For 3 o'clock what else? What else? And you said 12 years in retirement. The hours go by like sips of water. The record lies unbroken And no doubt it's white flour in my diet That's going to be the death of me A sweet drum roll for those embittered big ideas. It's such a waste of all that I had. You mentioned bats in the attic So now you're lifting off the tiles To get around those conservation rules I'm locked down in the basement I'm hanging upside down I gag across my mealy mouth. And how I'll laugh out loud about that. When I read your simple novel That uses all our real names And go make yourself a fortune There's nothing left for us Than us left dangling just a little shamefaced. It's such a waste of all that we have. And it's such a waste of all that we have. And it's such a waste of all that I am.

[@petechisholm5432]

It’s I’ve gone so far in my travels at the start

[@nathanhammond667]

Absolutely gorgeous! Some shy away from Islander accents. I find them engaging. Just a beautiful, thoughtful track. Thank you for the post😆

[@Pulse1390]

this song has caught my soul! it's so beautiful!

[@SnailSyrup]

Beautiful...

[@spectrum99122]

This is what beauty sounds like

[@scottmurray8483]

I had silver in my sideburns but now I use just for men shampoo and swag about like Justin beiber. I thank my dear friend David who brought me here and showed me what ET looked like before they removed the sheet. God bless you David, an inspiration for all men XXX

[@angeleyeslp]

Beautiful song, gorgeous voice, and very intriguing video.

[@PY11235]

These guys make the best videos and music (of course)

[@goodlifemary]

Perfect Song!

[@joaomanuelvelosobarbara]

Quando se gosta de Música, a procura é incessante. Estou abraçado a este Grupo

[@jopo97jopo]

this video was playing in a production of 'macbeth' that i watched recently, and it brought me to tears . beautiful.

[@JaredStockMusic]

John Taylor's Month Away is incredible!

[@rianadkinsonmusic]

absolutely gorgeous !

[@Kbambi74]

The artist felt like this enough for this track you can't just say "Oh, there should be an ambient center here" It doesn't work like that... The song is beautiful as is. And it's a shame that some people think that an amazing short song is made short just for profit or singles. It's not. Art doesn't have to be prolonged to be art...

[@davidgaian4789]

SO lovely.

[@kessuperstara]

E.T comes to Fife, I love my record though! I love all my K.C Records :D So happy to know of Kenny's music!

[@actsnubs11]

this is beautiful.

[@musicloveunity]

True gem ❤

[@moviemaker40]

Love this so much

[@earnestbunny]

Blimey!......Spot on.....

[@NoQuarter91]

Mollono Bass brought me here. Thank you:)

[@CorruptedVids]

Is this song in a mix?

[@NoQuarter91]

Light a candle and listen to "What Else" by Mollono Bass☺

[@Flippy1565]

what a masterpiece from jon

[@Warp75]

Magic

[@Joyib]

Thumbs up! This is a work of art!

[@ange929]

Quand je serais enceinte et dès que mon enfant pourra entendre, je lui ferais écouter ça.

[@fencerecords]

Magic!

[@BClipp]

From what video or blog or something did Simon Pegg mention this song? Jon Hopkins is what sent me here.

[@chloep5]

God this is so good!

[@FrostedPingu]

I am impressed Mr Pegg.

[@hewsandison]

Well this is moving.

[@bblive]

the king.

[@adorablelittlecat]

@LeVacheCanard @BloodFromTheThorn are you talking generally about Macbeth or are you talking about the Rugby High one that I was doing? :)

[@DeFineAl]

Yes but I first heard it on air on Radio NZ and here it is on the net.

[@troublemeister]

Tis an awesome collective.

[@AngryHamsterGaming]

Amazing!

[@VegetarianTales]

Big companies have successfully invaded the ad space. Sorry regular people trying to make a living running ads online, but affordable ads have been sold to big corporations... so much for your sustained success...

[@olliephelan]

.And I've gone silver in my travels, growing silver in my sideburns, I'm starting to unravel. Heard my heartbeat on a downhill, I counted eighteen on my pulse as Kilrenny Church struck three for three o'clock. What else? And you said twelve years in retirement. The hours go by like sips of water. The record lies unbroken, and no doubt, it's white flour in my diet. It's going to be the death of me, sweet drumroll for those embittered big ideas. It's such a waste of all that I had. You mentioned bats in the attic, so now you're lifting up the tiles to get around these conservation rules. I walked down in the basement.

And it's such a waste of all that I am.

[@1bassist]

Ollie Phelan The first line should be: "And I've gone so far in my travels"

[@olliephelan]

1bassist Are ye sure ? I got those lyrics just off the first site I found So , Ill take your word for it . But it doesnt exactly fit with his scots accent. (at least the way Im hearing it ). Do you know for definite ?

[@oseriou]

+Ollie Phelan No, you're right. When the speaker says "And I've gone silver in my travels..." he's talking about how he's gotten old in life. You know, his hair is going grey. The phrase "growing silver in my sideburns" is the continuation of that thought. I know this is 2 months old, but the lyrics are so beautiful I didn't wnt you to think you were wrong!

[@olliephelan]

Oseriouz repeating phrases like that goes back to Dylan And never sat once at the head of the table And didn't even talk to the people at the table Who just cleaned up the food from the table He does the same with "struck three for three o clock "

[@oseriou]

+Ollie Phelan Yeah, definitely. It's just like poetry; when he says "I've gone silver in my travels/ growing silver in my sideburns," it's all imagery and the repetition brings attention to the speaker's disappointed and regretful tone. Dylan does the same thing when he repeats the word table, but the speaker's voice is a lot more discontented. The repetition of table also gives us insight to the characters themselves, as they never sit at the head of table or talk to the other occupants, but _clean up_ after them. But, whatever, I'm going too deep lmao. I just really like analysis and this song is so pretty, I couldn't help myself.

[@adorablelittlecat]

@jopo97jopo was it at Rugby High by any chance? :)

[@Palomarband]

What does Simon Pegg got to do with this video? could someone please explain?

[@SunsetRC]

I thought about E.T. when I saw the sheet on the bike.

[@EdPal]

this is great!

[@NightShiftPodcast]

Relax, buddy. The guy was probably either just a troll, or he honestly didn't know much about the artist, as you said. Don't let that make you angry. We all came here to enjoy the music, so relax, and listen with us.

[@CampingKoopas]

I was sent here by a Costa Rican television station... =)

[@fhyd]

@willregnier That was definitely worth it! But how is he linked to this?

[@MrKhan2013]

don't care who send me here the song is awesome that why im here...

[@DiegoMiyai]

Eu amo

[@mayzon111222]

Very cool vid!

[@likemoon83]

I like you taste in music man

[@Chungplume]

I like!

[@FrankieAdds]

@adorablelittlecat No, I meant the Rugby High one ;)

[@michaelrichardjnr9600]

Shines light on mortality A pointing to something impending. Possible misinterpretation but glad to take it this way anyway.

[@ILoveMagic15]

Can anyone recommend me similar music? I love the whole album.

[@Warp75]

@CutAndStick Indeed

[@adiskoan]

An incredible musician. Check some of his stuff at Porcupine Tree, his most famous project.

[@TheOneRaf]

No chance being played on air? This was played on trainspotters mobile disco Leadsborough FM

[@TheDOL3]

so amazing :D

[@sangramsinghmalik]

please appreciate the artist ,if possible,who actually have done something for this song.

[@jinamatcharia8027]

გამოგონილი ზღაპრული კეთილი სამყაროები

[@joaquimolivaisala2703]

“ I m’he anat fent de plata en els meus viatges, Plata creixent en les meves patilles He començat a desentranyar Vaig escoltar el batec del meu cor en un pendent, Vaig comptar 18 en el meu pols El rellotge d’en Kilrenny va donar les tres Per 3:00 què més? Què més? I vas dir : 12 anys a l’exili Les hores passen com glops d’aigua. L’expedient es troba intacte I no hi ha dubte que és la farina blanca de la meva dieta Això suposarà la meva mort Un redoblament de tambor dolç per aquests grans idealistes amargats. És un malbaratament de tot el que jo tenia. Has parlat de ratpenats a l’àtic De manera que ara estem aixecant les rajoles Per evitar aquestes normes de conservació Estic tancat al soterrani Estic penjant cap per avall M’emmordassen a través de la meva boca farinosa. I com vaig a riure en veu alta sobre això. Quan vaig llegir la senzilla novel·la Que utilitza tots els nostres noms reals I vaig fer una fortuna Ara no queda res per a nosaltres. És una pèrdua de tot el que tenim. I és una pèrdua de tot el que tenim. I és una pèrdua de tot el que sóc. “

[@gibbozi]

Yep, pretty sure I heard it in full on BBC 6 Music first

[@frauleinable]

cool vid!!

[@amnesiacradar]

Who's Steve Wilson?

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

lovely :)

[@ponyundercover]

this is much better than Coldplay

[@yellowriver23]

nice bike

[@adorablelittlecat]

@LeVacheCanard oh right, sorry, I assumed that you went to Rugby High! :P

[@LeVacheCanard]

@adorablelittlecat It was such an amazing show :) The bit where Lady Macduff is killed genuinely made me jump.

[@tomevenjoh]

💙

[@vazkopl]

OMFG! Thank you so much Chris Martin!

[@Tocy777isback0414]

When you think you are having a stroke but no it's just awesome music with goosebumps

[@kingsleykinglin]

@DuckaOFFICIAL How?

[@ThePrehistoricWars]

the album version is far better. I could still listen to this on repeat forever tho.

[@YusakSulaeman]

wow

[@FrankieAdds]

@LeVacheCanard Same :) The show was brilliant :D

[@fernstrang6722]

This song is basically my chilhood (my parents are hippies) i also know the guy that its based on, he organised the fife diet!- "a white flower in my diet" "Sweet drum roll for those embittered, big ideas" Yeah so i love this song, KC RULES OK

[@kitengamheart]

+Fern Strang I like you ^^ if u come to italy hit me up i will offer you a big bouquet of flowers for breakfast and then we'll go fishing for dreams in the sky singing . .. .good things

[@filipp.3680]

Everybody interprets songs differently, they are subjective. You say white flower but it can also be interpreted as white FLOUR [in his diet] / [going to be the death of me]. Could also be symbolic to drug use.

[@rileymarieowens1490]

Fern Strang Who's to disagree with you. whoever likes kc is also a friend of mine.

[@olliephelan]

Its white flour in my diet . It will be the death of me"
