This is my favourite Idles song, I just can't stress enough how deeply it touches my heart strings. Beautiful performance.

[@JoeValenti1968]

Discovered late and can't leave them, I'm in forever. They're a true thing in a world of fog.

[@smithtasticness]

Idles and Sleaford Mods are the two bands I tell everyone I meet to listen to these days... Too good.

[@heleen313]

Same!

[@oneandoneeleven]

So true. I'm addicted now. I don't know all the words, but I recognize vibes and grooves. And I love it all.

[@carriekmms]

So true

[@jonathongoldie]

Just starting listening to these guys, because of from a basement. They are excellent!

[@smithtasticness]

The whole Crawler album is incredible. You've found a wonder in Idles...

[@iaindrennan9347]

The most important band of our time, be here be now

[@marcolanzilotto7718]

The tapping of the feet seemed loud There's a barrel in a whirlwind cloud I danced with a Spaniard man 'Til we had no breath left in our pounding chests I shuddered like I'm more bereft Danced grief from my pores Beat pounds like I'm knocking at the door The high hat stands like a feather I'm in, I'm in A paralytic loveless dream Not a single face I've seen Is a friend I recognize or recognizes me I blackout, I don't want your dim sum It's 3AM, I wanna dance 'til the sun comes I wanna fight your cousin I wanna tear through the night like an angel flare I'm a ten foot snare That cuts in the sky with no care, no care, no care, no A narcissist on a khaki stool The kids are not alright The kids are not Feels like I'm coming home Feels like I'm coming home A narcissist on a khaki stool The kids are not alright The kids are not

That siren sound is coming from his guitar? This is an amazing performance

[@s4mmylou868]

The guitars in this are unreal!

[@matthewwalker2249]

Reminds me of the terrific pixies, late 80’s/ Surfer Rosa. Stellar.

[@hydrefwilliams8313]

Holy fuck it's so good. And this is live..

[@s4mmylou868]

That growl that joes does towards the end of the tune is sexual 🤯

[@garrywood8669]

Awsum

[@matthewnaylor7464]

might be my favourite song of theirs

[@garyjohnson9459]

It’s mine

[@s4mmylou868]

[@nicolegrandjean1676]

This is incredible. And that staring contest they all had towards the end was just insane. So intense it's almost erotic.

[@cachorrozangado9109]

The guitar remember Tom Morelo

[@horatiojones7960]

Wish he was east coasting.

[@vegahunter8]

This and the beachland ballroom have a chokehold on me

[@hydrefwilliams8313]

One of the best versions of this amazing amazing song :))

[@hydrefwilliams8313]

me when the lights come on

[@boddha10]

in addition to the obvious awesomeness of this band and this song, i just want to shout out the insanely good production/sound engineering. i think… i like this version better than the album version. that’s almost unheard of for me to pick live over studio

[@attorniaraw6396]

Nigel Godrich

[@АртемКосинський-й5е]

what an energy of frontman!☺amazing!

[@s4mmylou868]

Joe is king and so are the rest.

[@broganlund1268]

This song makes me want to dance like those emo kids on south park

[@LukeVanGeest]

Love this video guys!

[@kevinsheridan5025]

I'd love to know what the joke is at the start; they're all struggling to stop themselves from laughing

[@s4mmylou868]

Did I ever mention that this is my fave idles track. It sounds even better when your stoned. Those guitars……. Like wow 🤩

[@daveclarke9639]

If you gotta get stoned to listen to music shame on you

[@s4mmylou868]

@@daveclarke9639 never said that, I said it sounds even better when stoned. I don’t smoke all the time just occasionally. I listen to music everyday totally straight headed! So don’t cry!

[@jackrawling1556]

@@s4mmylou868 don’t listen to him mate, he obviously doesn’t know how all the different sounds in this song are amplified after a joint

[@mantastic]

Absolutely scintillating!!

Thanks for singing for the kids

[@marcoalla4931]

Joe Talbot is a badass man but expressing all his fucking anger and frustration when he sings is not an insult but a compliment. Great!
