The Coral - Chasing The Tail Of A Dream

[@teacherchil]

Gosh, where have I been all these years? Loving it all.

[@pete7825]

Every song on every album just a pearl!

[@dorco99]

Best band around for me , currently.

[@Fantod69]

They are simply the best band going. I can only hope they come to America.

[@Fantod69]

+fletchdies I didn't know about their dislike of America...but seriously, I don't blame them-we can come across as pretty ignorant and obnoxious.

[@JennyGSS]

What a song! Music, performance, lyrics .... absolutely marvelous! Thank you, guys!

[@FLYINGGOUCHESWEEKLY]

Wow! Can't stop listening to this track. Way to step it up, boys.

[@garyporritt784]

The Coral seem really overlooked as a band but most of todays commercially overproduced acts cannot produce the deep or dark sound that I like. You have to search hard or go back a long way to find stuff this good. I'm so glad they've returned and I'm going enjoy tonight's Newcastle gig.

[@todareistodomyfoot8403]

A lot of the bands faded out in the 2000s and it really got bad around 2010 as music took a turn for the worst and now we're left with the shite that they pedal for music with the last 15 to 20 years. The problem with bands is that they need to be consistent with their hits and the Invisible Invasion is where the wheels started to come off. The album is amazing but only two singles were released from it. It was very dark with some very light songs and it produced one of their biggest hits to date "In The Morning." "Something Inside of Me" didn't do that well at all, only getting into the 44th position in the charts. Don't ask me why it didn't do well, maybe that was a sign of guitar music dying out. In The Morning was a very poppy, breezy uplifting song along with "So Long Ago" but the rest of the album was very very dark. It's a stunning album, one of the best I've listened too but the public wanted sugar coated pop music and that's why I think the Coral more or less took a nose dive after the Invisible invasion. They can still command anything from 10 thousand to over 100 thousand likes on their latter songs but they never made it huge. I personally think they should have gone to America sooner rather than later when they were first starting because they were burnt out by the time they got there. Roots and Echo's was another stunning album for me, very retro in places but the singles released were never going to do that well. They left out to many gems like Rebecca You, Remember Me, In The Rain, Cobwebs, Fire Flies and Music at Night are all brilliant tunes. I think they released the weakest songs on the album which saw the album only make it to 18th position. Funnily enough, The Invisible Invasion got to no. 4 in the charts even though only two singles were released. Night Freaks got to no. 7 and M%M got to 10 so Roots and Echos was where they took a nose dive. I think Bill had left the band during the Invisible Invasion and then he joined back again so that kind of messed that album up. The marketing for the band was very poor in my view too, but it is what it is.

[@gaynortension2032]

This is fantastic. Great to have you back.

[@colinlittlejohn1487]

Brilliant

[@mimikaspilioti182]

Lovely!!!!!!!🌞❤️

[@ggoldfingers]

Saw them in Dublin last night. Just blew the minds of the crowd. The place was so packed I couldn’t get a drink. Kickin. I just hope that they don’t leave it as long next time.

[@jefflee6877]

The Coral on home soil at Sound City, Liverpool next Sunday will Rock!!

[@capitanbyrd]

The Coral is back, yes!

[@mobyboy]

kicking ass!

[@TheKoopaBros]

So glad that The Coral is back. What an epic track!

[@alterperversersackkk]

[@zen9430]

Fantastic

[@saintandrew5655]

Fantastic song and vid

[@edyta_piasecka1]

Welcome back! Great tune!

[@piotr_szambelan248]

I used to know this band only from the song In the morning, but in 2010 I heard a great song "1000 years' and fell in love with... I bought all the records of The Croal. On each of them were cool songs, weaker, and very weak ... I turned out that the two coolest albums, where they were all good songs are the 'Cursed Love' and 'Butterfly House'. The ones where did not play Bill Ryder-Jones. Butterfly House is brilliant, fantastic album, is absolute!!! perhaps the most underrated album of all time. Waiting for the new one. I can not wait.!!!

[@cockshield]

Mani from the Stone Roses called Butterfly House the greatest album since... well... The Stone Roses.

[@LachieDazdarian]

Yeah, it's a special album.

[@MiChPuNk]

MAgic and medicine and the invisible invasion are such great albums. I personally prefer that sound than the psychedelic but man, they do it very good.

[@rikkiw86]

Great track as usual! Weird seeing James Skelly playing lead guitar but he did well. Lyrics are awesome, I love the line "secrets in the house of lies written in the symbols hidden in plain sight chasing the tail of a dream" - definitely a reference to the Freemasons and other occult secret societies. I like how rhythmical it is, almost like a heavier more psychedelic Don't think you're the first. Can't wait for the album now!

[@contesketchup2981]

Well The Coral are basically druids or devil worshipers who take credit for the songs written by demons. Every band that makes it into the top 10 are all into the occult. I mean they didn't bring out an album called Magic and Medicine for nothing. They are apart of the secret socieity the invisible invasion. They're right in front of us but we don't know it.

[@AutomaticShoes]

This new album sounds like a parallel to the first Blue Oyster Cult album. This song for sure could've been on it. Love it!

[@richymac4338]

The Coral have just dropped the tune of 2015.................................

[@rikkiw86]

And 2016 most likely

[@jasonweir9469]

Yes! So-Oh by The Charlatans too?

[@marymoonchild2801]

this is great reminds me of 60s music, awesome!

[@tamirmoav3774]

epic!

[@markgibbons9819]

Amazing!!! My scepticalness dispelled. Best song I"ve heard this year! Hopefully The Coral & Clinic get a wee tour together... That would be worth paying to see :-)

[@Hasief]

Looking forward to hearing what Paul Molloy brings to the other songs. That minimalist rhythm he's doing here sounds easier to play than it really is, so I'm curious as to what he does on the rest of the album. He's got some pretty big shoes to fill: Bill Ryder-Jones' playing was always a band highlight, and Lee Southall really came into his own and out of Bill's shadow on Butterfly House. Was hoping to hear Lee pushing himself further but it looks like you'll have to find his solo stuff for that.

[@elliotedelstein7676]

Welcome back. ...fantastic song.. repeating it constantly

[@marineboy-kv6rf]

Fantastic track.Welcome back lads.'Butterfly House' was a brilliant album why it's not been appreciated more is a bloody mystery/tragedy.Hopefully this time things will be different.

[@cockshield]

+marineboy 1966 I always liked The Coral, but when I heard Butterfly House I was blown away. It's not just their best album, but one of THE best albums full stop. Right up there with Abbey Road and Pet Sounds for me.

[@marineboy-kv6rf]

+cockshield .I agree.Sometime it's going to turn up in some 'great albums you SHOULD own ' list and only then will it get the proper praise it deserves. And going by the new tracks,the next album is going to be bloody brilliant! Hurry on March!

[@piotr_szambelan248]

+cockshield WORD!

[@billwellington4222]

No way. Let everyone else drool over the shit that passes for music. This band is the real deal and should be left to music connoisseurs.

[@nakamura25i]

what a great start to the year , welcome back lads

[@ahsousayoub6086]

Waw Awsome Style Respect From Morocco

[@Duenderelojero]

OMG James making a solo....nice!!!

[@jamesmercer526]

Buzzing to hear this live in March

[@ヨイツの賢狼]

I've been looking forward to restarting The Coral!!

[@ilnintenditore2242]

Lyrics: Rise in the burning light Your spirit flies around me like a butterflies Shifting through the sleepless nights Turning all the pages, as I've been wasting lights Chasing the tail of a dream Chasing the tail of a dream Moving in the futures grasp Stepping through the mirror into the past Falling through descend and time Suspended in the moment of a naked eye Chasing the tail of a dream Chasing the tail of a dream Smothered in a house of lies Ridden in the symbols hidden in plain sight Chasing the tail of a dream Chasing the tail of a dream

[@danieldickinson2655]

Good to have you back.

[@grum701]

sounding amazing

[@janedavies974]

Amazing song. Absolute belter. You've gone from little scally lads to absolute legends. Love this new sound.

[@bertp.7736]

bloody awesome track, great to have you guys back, have been missing you for too long! Can't wait for the new CD!

[@FLYINGGOUCHESWEEKLY]

Really digging this new album. It sounds like The Coral, of course, but they've also moved into some new places for them.

[@shadowpalace1106]

A welcome return! Quality!!

[@maximilianoleon1797]

love to have you back! great tune

[@oasis903s]

Great tune. I really hope they come to the USA. Been waiting for them to reform

[@contesketchup2981]

They're all brilliant on their instruments, far better than Blur and Oasis could ever be. Just listen to that guitar solo from James who normally just plays chords and sings.

[@brandonroberts9717]

Was bummed to hear these guys had broken up a few years back, but though Id check to see whether they got back together. What a nice surprise. Now when are Doves gonna do another album. - American fan

[@claire3337]

I don't think they really broke up, they were really young when they began. They just needed a break. Great band, I'd love to see them live.

[@davidandersonspratt3609]

welcome back lads fucking great tuneeee ;-)

[@WilliamZeebub]

Brilliant...rubber sold

Live in Pompei…..

[@ranxerox30]

extraordinaire! la 1ere fois que j'ai ecoute the coral-magic and medicine, c'est dans un magasine nommé FLUIDE GLACIAL qu'ils en parlaient, comme COCOSUMA et THE SERVANTS.Y a dix ans environs... J'ai crû trouver un vieil album des années 60 perdu au fin fond de l'univers, sauf que c'est tout neuf, enfin ça date de dix ans maxi, du pur son des annees 60 style THE DOORS voir PINK FLOYD (à leurs débuts). J'adore grave! c'est superbe, ces jeunes on entre 17 et 20 ans et font de le foutue musique psychédélique extra! JE LES ADORE!

[@nbodeh4658]

what effect does he play that guitar solo on? its so dirtyyyy

[@braunquartz]

Good... ...it reminds me a lot of sounds from late 68-69 freakbeat British psychedelia... ...on a Bo Diddley's drum & bass backdrop...

[@KarenGarcia-pm2ck]

OMG, Excelente regreso!!! :3

[@darrellandrew5605]

I like this never been sure of the Coral but this makes me think I should look a bit deeper?

[@cockshield]

Butterfly House. Best album since the 60s... not best Coral album... best album period.

[@koolrockradio]

Kool!

[@WOMPYCHOPS]

Fucking AMAZING!!!

[@stevequinny]

For the last 15 years or so I paddled waters of more experimental/electronic waters. While always trying to keep an ear to the ground of guitar/rock music, I never really found much to make me change paths or at least rekindle old fire. Though I still listen to all 'the old stuff' This is a fucking tune though. Proper great tune. Makes me feel those old forgotten shivers I felt when I heard a great guitar track. Pre-Libertines which was the start of the fucking decline for me. You may disagree. But any way or either way this a classic.

[@mikdundee4486]

I'll second that mate 👌

[@AjrimmerMr]

Boss.

[@eduardosegovialazalde4057]

[@ThraakPhotography]

this is better, still not the same for me without Bill Ryder Jones on guitar but hey ho!

[@simonedgbaston]

i adore Bills 3 solo albums so much .

[@ejaganjac7085]

Hmm.. is this one of those where they release album filler as singles (1000 years, Jacqueline), and leave radio gold unheard (In the Rain; Falling All around You)?? The selection of singles shouldnt be left to the band alone! They are too close to the music to have a fresh perspective, and are all too contrarian for their own good! Much love! x
