Sea Power 'Machineries Of Joy'

[@brightsplendor]

Had a great time shooting this and biking through the hills, such a beautiful song.

[@marcusskidmore7290]

Didn't you get hot in that jumper?

[@Tushinho]

Wish I had seen this comment earlier

[@MrDazzlerdarren]

You were a vision.

[@12ockybalboa]

Where was it filmed?

[@applemask]

@@12ockybalboa Biggin Hill, Kent, apparently.

[@TchockyPuritan]

Most underrated band on earth.

[@andrewturvill7145]

10 years old already. Still gives me chills ❤❤❤

[@MrDazzlerdarren]

British Sea Power. What an amazing band.

[@whssy]

One of my favourite music videos of all time. Most are unwatchable. This one you can just put on repeat. Song's good too.

[@Tomguitartist]

I saw this band last year live. Didn't know much about them in all honesty. They won me over after performing their first song. If you like anthemic, memorable, well-harmonized songs you will like British Sea Power. This song is perhaps the best I've heard from them alongside 'waving flags' and 'no man is an archipelago'

[@tomg_54altem96]

This song (and video) reigns supreme. Great band - deserve a lot more recognition.

[@iancunningham3788]

Machines of Joy? Brilliant! What a perfect name for a bicycle. I'm going to see British Sea Power live this weekend in York. A stadium band in a tiny venue - thank you boys.

[@robyourtime]

How was it?

[@calcosPR]

It was so good he died.

[@iancunningham3788]

It was brilliant. A stadium band in a small intimate venue. Sound was great - stage was small. An eclectic audience - all age groups and genres represented! Only downside was they they never played an encore - even the crowd was up for it.

[@iancunningham3788]

No I'm not dead yet. Not completely anyway.

[@calcosPR]

Ian Cunningham The important thing is we got the answer.

[@71highstorrs]

Fantastic! Everytime I watch and listen to this I want to get out on my Steel Machinery Of Joy.

[@britishcringetv]

It’s a superbly produced slice of British Rock, with a distinctively British flavour

[@lizhutchins3509]

Asked sute

[@colt1954]

I agree I have tears as I write something about the music the countryside so English...and beautiful

[@whssy]

This is the first piece of music I've heard this year that blew my mind. Aboslutely and totally awesome.

[@cameronlewis5204]

Should see this group live, they play this song first absolutely amazing! 👌

[@leahf1571]

Saw them live in Oxford and it was amazing!👏👏

[@Stocktonlad774]

Still a brilliant track from a great band

[@Calistan100]

LOVE THIS TUNE! and video. Best band in all the world.

[@andrewturvill7145]

Such an uplifting positive song and video

[@rogerbennett9641]

It's a kind of vision, help is on the way and it takes my mind off the ache in my legs after cycling for an hour or more. Thank you.

[@gutonx]

Precious song,it makes me cry...thank you!!!

[@brightslumber]

I am glad someone else agrees with me.

[@blikeredaxis]

I live in Sussex, and it is really that beautiful. And the bike gears are really needed to get over the Downs.

[@CheeseAlarm]

That's Skid Hill Lane and Beddlestead Lane. Near Tatsfield. A bit of green inside the M25.

[@AT-db4rn]

Ah, the english countryside....👍

[@SamHartley123456]

They never let you down, legends!

[@DaftSwank]

I love music videos that are like J.Crew/L.L. Bean commercials! More please!!

[@toolaek]

simple things ....a GREAT SONG!From a great band!

[@BruceComedyTO]

Finally - the sequel to Queen's Bicycle Race video! How far we've come in 40-odd years. But really, another winner BSP track and perfect video accompaniment. Moral of the story? Never wear a sweater / jumper when cycling. (But please, wear something!)

[@ukrandr]

Maybe it's because I've been immersed in his writings as of late, but this video has a Thomas Hardy aspect that just can't be ignored. From the opening scene, the solitary cyclist(Hardy's oft mentioned "speck" on the landscape) the melancholia.

[@ponch2100]

BSP I just had a vision that Elon Musk wants to use this song for their electric car company . Please dont let them use it

[@lonegroover]

Yeah. Petrol forever!

[@Confusatron79]

Wow, I failed and didn't even realize a new album was in the works. Great track! Now come play it live in Seattle.

[@SportFury1966]

My God, she's beautiful.

[@frenzy1225]

man, just about everything rough trade puts out is brilliant. whoever is in charge of scouting out these bands needs a raise!

[@jackiehayden2874]

Yes, most music videos are merely overlong commercials. Love the sharp guitar on this track. It reminds me of Roger McGuinn.

[@noahread1497]

so good just found this and I'm liking it already

[@Alig-hf4zl]

pure brilliance. we 💜 bsp.

[@adrianrudak]

truly wonderful, beautiful ........

[@jamsward1873]

brilliant band, brilliant song, brilliant video. nice girl too ha

[@gaellerogie3789]

So glad I discovered this band when preparing a lesson about music festival, thanks to the British Council website :D

[@Joe910811]

Went to see them play at Reading this year instead of Eminem and it was probably the best decision I have ever made

[@onlyyesterday1967]

Fantastic! ! !

[@timmiechen]

A bike is really a machinery of and for joy.

[@weekendwankere69]

Yes, this is so nice. Thank you

[@Camberwell86]

Proper budget video but less is more, it complements the song and the simple, relaxed style of music more than some flashy over-the-top bollocks. As for the song, well, that's something else. Love it. Very recently found BSP but certainly a new fan!

[@Londonfogey]

5.08 is how I looked most days when I used to cycle home over the top of Haverstock Hill in Hampstead.

[@ericworrall]

First time I've heard them. Love it!

[@samovargas]

My fav band!!

[@ron611087]

Brilliant!

[@mickchannonsghost]

I can't help but think the national society for the prevention of accidents would be too impressed with the cycling without a helmet.... for that reason I love the video, cracking tune too :-)

[@chairman823]

Uplifting. On a day when I have to bury a relative this lifted my spirits no end.

[@celiaayneto9232]

We're primite abolition Like a hobbyist of deranged proportion Or the wait is yours and we've failed again The fleshy existance you keep to yourself, Insecure We are magnificent machineries of joy We are magnificent machineries of joy Machines of joy, we meant some Machines of joy, we meant some We are a vision of extraordinary contorsion An athletic form of home distortion And the trial it shows, we loose again The fleshy existance you keep to yourself, Insecure We are magnificent machineries of joy We are magnificent machineries of joy Machines of joy, we meant some Machines of joy, we meant some You are a vision, you are a vision, a vision Tell me what he said, it doesn't really matter Just tell me what he said, and I don't really care It's only what he said, We can make it back to Tell me what he said, no I don't really care Help is on the way, help is on the way Help is on the way, we all go We are magnificent machineries of joy We are magnificent machineries of joy Machines of joy, we meant some Machines of joy, we meant some.

[@dashx1103]

With primitive ablution ... The win is yours ... An athletic form of warm distortion ... And the triumph's yours .. we lose again ... Machines of joy, and then some .... The fleshy existence you keep to yourself is secure ... It's only what he said ... we can make it better ....

[@comfibold]

Wonderful.

[@Rhinoceros951]

Discovered this band at Reading festival this year, so fucking glad I decided to see them. They put on a hell of a show :)

[@SamHartley123456]

Amazing AGAIN!

[@djdoolittle1315]

Great track 💚🎶

[@meerkatski]

Just perfect.

[@Longknife]

Un jour je serai de retour pres de toi

[@hidewalker8423]

Love this song

[@leonardomonarcatejocote7198]

Hermoso!!!

[@scpexpanse]

Gawgeous, you guys. I could not be more pumped for the album

[@fitzy4578]

omg no way was this filmed where I cycle every weekend :o

[@markcolonna6874]

fitzy4578 You tease Where? Where?

[@artsyhipster]

Love BSP! You've come a long way since The Decline of BSP. That was like 10 years ago. Unbelievable!!

[@mourikbr]

I agree, this is really nice good music and clip

[@OdedFriedGaon]

awesome!

[@hykeletdjkel3433]

magic.

[@space75gr]

perfect tune.

[@dantay699]

Loving the drum beat, great track

[@princessavicki1]

Does anyone else out there hear the similarities between the intro to this and the opening of Star Trek next generation? Jean Luc Picard: "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's five year mission to seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.."

[@ThePaledruid]

Her name is Kate Tiernan, an English theatre actress.

[@scpexpanse]

Same here, nobody has topped them for me since I started listening about 4 years ago. Plus they can fucking rock live, wow

[@karlydoc]

"We" are magnifient machineries of joy,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@تيتوعشوش]

Gussie's chicken like oh my God I love the profile

[@robinhanley6029]

I'm still here OK!

[@julianchosun]

Wow; how refreshing to have any clip that notes the beauty of the female form and links it to nature without being overly, overtly, or over-the-top sexual. BTW, great music too. Sharp, taut drumming and equally cool guitar sounds. Nicely done all 'round!

[@hykeletdjkel3433]

amazing band greatings from.the.frogy s !!!!land !!!!

[@gabeisprettycool3000]

How I would love to cycle on the other side of the pond :)

[@eyallevy4635]

Is this Marion Cotillard..?

[@ThePaledruid]

Her name is Kate Tiernan, an English theatre actress.

[@adrianrudak]

Was thinking exactly the same :-)

[@321bytor]

Bikes. Brilliant!

[@supercamel0]

YES. I was about to post the same thing!

[@nicolesong6199]

are you here because Peter Capaldi likes this song and he also drew the thick of it art of Malcolm Tucker cussing at this song to show his appreciation?

[@LilRedRasta]

AND...............now i'm addicted to a new band. Fuck. I'm not going to be productive at all this weekend am I?

[@losersoup]

nice tune. will check album out.

[@harpuka62]

Ouch, that hurts!

[@chipsforthepoor]

Yo! Clare, Nice one top one.

[@rjmf24]

[@Tinkeroftime]

Awesome sound as always :D~ I wish I could go to your concerts~ u_u

[@clioclio73]

[@321bytor]

Bicycles...beautiful

[@GuhstavoSilveira]

Come to brazil!

[@TheStupidestGenius]

[@stevegeek]

Perfect track / video....is it Victoria Pendleton's sister I wonder?

[@chriswarburton-brown7858]

[@mariaj.fernandezm.8535]

[@666gregor]

Quality

[@jibberjabberr]

best comment of the day

[@ameylala7940]

Is she English? So pretty omg!!

[@mikescanlon8191]

Blimey. I thought they'd roped in the gorgeous Marion Cotillard for the video! Lovely looking girl.

[@superelectic45]

Good stuff, looks like it was filmed on a DSLR. The end shot is a bit strange, I think she should have taken a packet of Players out of her pocket and had a good chuff lol.

[@Londonfogey]

No it should be packet of Consulate, 'Cool as a mountain stream'.

[@galas062]

echo and bunny men

[@ryleyhughes4252]

what's the album this song is from?

[@pruntyc01]

+Ryley Hughes it's from the album sea of brass

[@Pier-uxs]

Doble 9, Lima - Perú

[@BarryRowlingsonBaz]

Anyone who thinks that bike is a 'fixie' needs to get a real fixie and try coasting like she does. That's not called "freewheeling" for nothing.

[@davidperry8247]

I know this is a really old comment but she actually changes gear in one shot. They're on her tubes.
