agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in it, and I know that you want to

[@macattack57]

Can we talk about how good this sounds? Great performance and great mixing!

[@matteventu]

I was noticing this exactly. Especially for being a live performance, the mixing is *excellent* to say the least.

[@hnsrsmssn]

KEXP has excelleent mixing on basically every performance.

[@alesis614]

jamie xx effect

[@TheJayfunck]

We need more of that guitar solo near the end. Could listen to that on loop all day.

[@ogenmatic]

Such a nice touch on the guitar especially at the end. Vocals are excellent. Lots of synergy between these three.

[@yellowhammer3]

Her voice is so soothing and calming, I was listening in the car today and my road rage was almost non-existent

[@AstralApophis]

This performance showed me why this song is so good. Its a constant build up that never comes to a conclusion and has you wanting and expecting more. The chorus is enough to give you a sense of resolution, but they go back into the verses which have you believing theres going to be more, but its just really a constant battle of the most beautiful tension ive ever heard

[@MichaelSmith-vo1mi]

Not obsessed but listen to this 10 times a day!!!!

[@grahamscoffield4283]

Michael Smith . And I thought it was only me

[@misssocrates3442]

[@AJ-ey7gc]

Did I just get transported back to early high school days circa '82/'83? Siouxsie & the Banshees/the Cure. pure music with the right touch of synth

[@kugelhupf945]

The voice's are absolutely stunning. So much talent. I love it....

[@m1kes6]

Everything Jamie xx touches is amazing.

[@viniciusfilenga4730]

Best performance of the song. Wish I could find it in Spotify.

[@mercyrain89]

Such a CLEAN sound... so love...

[@rossmorebaz]

This is some of best and most creative art that I have come across in the last decade.. these 3 people are so unbelievably talented and the music and feelings that they make together .. it's beyond beautiful.... these notes and melodies touch the human heart.

[@chrowm]

gees, this was so much better than the studio recorded version.

[@mandybmth]

Yo, how can this song be so perfect?

[@rustammazhidov2050]

So good. The live recording is produced so well. Incredible.

[@geraldmcnulty9325]

Since seeing at Glastonbury this song I'm addicted to. Have to be told to stop repeating it. Better than drugs but not alcohol! Haha

[@vpoftoiletpapersales1202]

:33 the touch of the guitar is so soothing

[@jd_jd_jd]

Love love love this track. Romy's almost breathless vocals are just sublime...dreamy

[@lepitesto9126]

The way she sings "a rush of blood" at 1:32 never fails to give me the chills

[@gianabakanos9131]

I remember I saw them on a whim at the o2 in brixton back in 2017 I think it was. And I had no idea what to expect from them live. I had been listening to their music for years but for some reason they were never on my radar for a live gig. And man, am I glad I went. Hands down one of my favourite gigs ever.

[@morannon100]

Daymn.. this is good, getting the chills.. wow!

[@VicJack]

Saw them live in Auckland New Zealand this week. Simply brilliant. Amazing vocals. If you get a chance go to a concert!

Singing Oh oh oh, go on I dare you Oh oh oh, I dare you I'm in love with it Intoxicated I'm in rapture From the inside I can feel that you want to Way up high on it Feeling suspended I'm enamoured Way up in the sky I could see that you want to I've been a romantic for so long All I've ever heard are love songs Singing Oh oh oh, go on I dare you Oh oh oh, I dare you I get chills Heart rate multiplies I'm on a different kind of high A rush of blood Is not enough I need my feelings set on fire Now I'm deep in it Infatuated Strong attraction Side by side and I know that you want to I've been a romantic for so long All I've ever heard are love songs Singing Oh oh oh, go on I dare you Oh oh oh, I dare you I can hear it now like I heard it then I can hear it now like I heard it then I can hear it now like I heard it then I can hear it now like I heard it then Singing Oh oh oh, go on I dare you Oh oh oh, I dare you Oh oh oh, go on I dare you Oh oh oh, I dare you
