Porridge Radio - Lilac (Official Video)

[@johannesmeier5550]

"I don`t want to get bitter, I want us to get better, I want us to be kinder to ourselves and to each other." - that`s lyrical magic right there.

[@andrewiles9180]

You are so impressive I just saw you on BBC4. Good luck for the Mercury Music Prize !

[@noahdecker1240]

Porridge Radio's music seems to capture the underlying anxiety of life in these times more than most music I've heard lately.

[@willibald9281]

That's the perfect way to put their music into words. thx!

[@b.franco2627]

4 years later, this still bangs HARD

[@jumhook6167]

I wish I could bottle the last minute. Manic ASMR. You guys utilize repetition in the most compelling ways

[@jb6618-k7x]

Jfc when the repeating "I'm stuck I'm stuck I'm stuck" switches to "I'm kind I'm kind I'm kind" it wrecks me

[@IceSpoon]

I cannot explain to you how much this song heals me.

[@shanokbhornw.8213]

OMG, I love this band, long time I haven't really felt something while listening to music. :-O I fell like a teenager again.

[@GG57]

That's totally what they make me feel. It's like they were the greatest rock band of the 90s propelled to the 20s. Nirvana never made me feel these things though. I think they're better than Nirvana. They cut deep for me. They're a bit of a revelation

[@ListenToManicAntenna]

Lots of people would laugh at that comparison to Nirvana but I agree. So much modern indie is on another level, IMO. The only difference is a band like Nirvana happened to get big mainstream attention so they've been put on a pedestal...keeping the fallacy going that fame & popularity equals superior talent or output.

[@hazaltangur1132]

When you said "I don’t want to get bitter , forget how to make you better" I really felt that. This song has been my new obsession lately.

[@zombieseatflesh1807]

This band makes me tingle. It’s been a long time since that last happened. They understand.

[@matthewkelly1737]

This band is brilliant. I’ll see you in Minneapolis. Godspeed.

[@johnnyhilton4223]

Faith restored! I was was beginning to give up on hearing anything this good.

[@masi2920]

Thank you so much for your art. You are incredible and are touching people with your sensibility. I few so much things listen to this song and the album....

[@christopherdean6837]

Captures the zeitgeist of our times more presciently than anything else I’ve heard for such a long time. Gut-wrenching and heartwarming in the same breath! Up the Porridge x

[@chilluminata]

No, i remember those indie vibes since the 90's, listen to history ;) For me its a mirror to the past! I love this sound since more than 2 dekades...

[@jimjames9752]

@@chilluminata I think he's talking about the lyrics, 'chilluminata'.

[@ReubenJBrown]

holy shit. finally. i love this song so fucking much and this recording is incredible - so textural and big, and still so gorgeously intimate. not to mention the video. holy.

[@dreamhermit1384]

wow, that ending is truly amazing

[@lpc8278]

The ending is a sublime, beautiful red blur....

[@hhamburger]

Just had me in bits ... just like when you played it at the gig. The perfect song for the times we're in ...

[@PanicAtTheMimmi]

Freaking david lynch moment at the end, I love it!

Real love and real misunderstanding together in a room

[@magjuergenstefani4015]

One of the best young bands out there, sometimes reminds me a bit of the Fall or Joy Division.

[@nicholasburrage1853]

MagJuergen Stefani really? it sounds nothing like either one of those bands to my ears lol

[@shayavery7851]

nicholas burrage I get the fall comparison

[@enfercesttout]

MagJuergen Stefani A general post-punk influence is imo sensible, but i can't pin point.

[@abdulrahmanraad2538]

Amazing & underrated

The irony of saying 'fuck wet leg' in the comment section of a song with these lyrics..

They're from Brighton, So I'd imagine it's the white cliffs somewhere close to Eastbourne.

Pseudo angst ridden pap.

[@nightjaronthegate]

This person looks and sounds like a victim of the Woke cultural revolution and Gender Theory in particular. I want us to be kinder too, but contrary to the claim that it is the way to ensure people are treated fairly the ideology is intentionally divisive, destructive, intolerant, unforgiving and cruel, and bitterness is the intention and the seemingly inevitable effect. If you are feeling the anxiety brought on by the pursuit of "Social Justice" see my playlists for philosophical and musical help.
