“No one was lonely, they just couldn’t get hold of anybody” This line is incredible.

[@AndrewNickChump]

This song is very successful in evoking a very specific atmosphere, which is somewhat illustrated by the accompanying video, especially the senses of "descending" and "ascending". The song itself is unique, but when I finally paid close attention to the video, that's when I really noticed the craft involved.

[@balistabalista]

Can't have enough of this song...from the first listening.

[@thejaytee29]

are you a unemployed song critic

[@AndrewNickChump]

I am employed ( I have the marks to prove it ... ), but not as a song critic, and I have never even considered musical criticism as a vocation. Nevertheless, aren't we all critical of our environment?

[@thejaytee29]

im critical of my food and lifestle and style of life....but i dont listen to myself really

[@AndrewNickChump]

Shame. One's instincts are usually right.

[@LiamStone-zy9zy]

Elephant and Castle. My favouite band filmed this while i was just across the road working on that site. Been in those tunnels

[@MyDistortedWorld]

Maccabees are one of the best bands ever formed. The depth of their rawness and ecstasy is genius. Miss you guys so much.

[@VevoUK]

We love this intensely energetic indie-rock tune from TheMaccabeesVEVO, it's our Vevo UK Track Of The Week!

[@kieranledger985]

Too right.

[@evronchenga4899]

No one was crying They simply got a little something in their eye No one was lonely They just could not get hold of anybody Over the summer, a lot changed And they all changed to keep up with it Too complicated Too complex to talk to anybody Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) All this is sky light Forget that it's there but it's there, no doubt about it Take it for a walk, they come back And zoning, wondering why it took it Thousands of people Tight lines and ropes and weather stays the weekend Clouds and rain And no one cares, they got the marks to prove it Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) Rolling shadow, fallen arrow Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow)

[@BarnacleBill77]

A magnificent tune....one of their finest works!

[@henrydelaespriella2817]

I remember being lost in Elephant & Castle, coming from a far Country being in London for the first time with no one to contact or get help was a little bit hard but i really enjoyed every second i was in london, i remember seeing a lot of gentles with their suits and always wondered if they were happy, cuz they look like kind a robots, well here wont be enough to tell my history there but i can tell you all the feelings this song transmits reflect exactly how i felt when i was there ❤️. thank you maccabees.

[@kristinam7062]

Every new Maccabees song is my favorite ♥♥♥

[@alecwright4775]

This was their best album and it's a shame they didn't see the peak of their creativity through. They really touched on something different here.

[@BackFromNowere]

The Maccabees are back. This is one of their best.

Song....and album of the year 2015.........

[@straynekokami720]

It's like, a combination of Colour in it and Wall of Arms, somehow powerful and young, plus that atmospheric feeling that Given to the Wild gave, a bit more mature sound. Dang it. This is good.

The Maccabees ♫ ♪ ♭ ♬ ♩ Amazing!

[@anselmoecheverria6342]

The Maccabees" aparecieron en la escena londinense en torno a 2004 llamados a convertirse en una prometedora banda de éxito. Su debut "Colour It In" fue acogido con entusiasmo, aunque por entonces estaba a rebufo de otra emergente formación llamada Bloc Party, que se llevó los mayores halagos. Aquel grupo ya desapareció por culpa, en gran parte, del ego de su vocalista Kele Okereke. The Maccabees continúan y nos presentan su último trabajo después de tres años de silencio con "Given to the Wild" . Siguen fieles a ese sonido de guitarrazos, teclados y marcados cambios de ritmo, pero en esta ocasión regresan más fieros. "Marks to prove it", "Something like hapiness" y "Spit it out" es el trío ganador de este disco. La mano del productor Laurie Latham (Echo & The Bunnymen, Squeeze, The Stranglers), parece que les ha otorgado un plus de vitalidad en los arreglos. Es su cuarto disco y perfectamente puede ostentar el título de mejor disco de The Maccabees. Música independiente novedades.
