Wild Beasts - Thankless Thing

[@linagguz]

Everything about this song is beautiful! I can have this on repeat and still feel the same as when I first heard it.

[@almkos26]

Always come back to it. I´m in Brazil and I can capture the essence of this song and the imagery behind it, even though I have never been to northern England . This is pure bliss. Gotta go visit Kendal soon.

[@almkos26]

Yes indeed. It's like going to another dimension through sound.

[@linagguz]

I am so stuck on this song right now! he lyrics are the work of a thankless heart! Full of emotions....LOVE IT!

[@montyoneify]

Seriously dont think these guys realise how good they really! are!! Great combination of talent writing musicianship and pure! Hunger!! :)

[@damfson4453]

Look at our love, a thankless thing A broken old branch where crow goes to sing A charred garden, a place of no easy pardon It's dead in the eyes, it's downright rotten But oh, baby, admittedly I could be somewhat curmudgeonly But nothing had changed, it stayed the same I came back and found you where you'd been left for dead Like something wounded No more of those crippling piggybacks You'll have to keep up, you'll have to stay amongst the pack And if you want in, I'll meet you where crow goes to sing That's if you want in, what is it they're blessing? But oh, baby, admittedly I could be somewhat curmudgeonly But nothing had changed, it stayed the same I came back and found you where you'd been left for dead Like something wounded

[@collectivebrainrot]

The intro gives me major goosebumps. Wild Beasts' lyrics are just breathtakingly exquisite...

[@davychanteur9430]

the most beautiful song ever

[@faunus37]

Best new British band around in the last 5 years. If there's any justice in the world, they'll be getting their dues soon enough. Meantime it's for the rest of us to enjoy!

[@hayleygregory8800]

cant stop listening to this !! love singing the oooohs in it haha ...love the wild beasts ..my new fave all time band !!!

[@blocfoals]

I just watched The Needle Drop's review of smother, and I'm pretty sure I realise why I love this album so much: the reason he doesn't like aspects of it, and the reason I do, is that this style of music, I don't know how, totally captures the North of England really well. I can't pin it down more than that, but I've been living there (here) for two years now (I'm VERY southern), and it's totally grown on me, but still feels dark and bleak - it's really beautiful.

[@MichaelHogan1]

Stunning band

[@ashliuvalle8800]

I almost forgot about this song. I'm so glad I didn't.

[@madeyemothful]

[@gerybaboona2421]

How are these beautiful creatures not massive? Oh right...X Factor...fkn smh..

[@collectivebrainrot]

goosebumps. every.fucking.time.

[@Jfwlr13]

it isn't on an album, it's the b-side to one of the singles off their latest album Smother. The single is called Reach a bit further.

[@indievampire]

this's perfectly sound of real art.

[@moony006]

So much yes.

[@montyoneify]

They do no wrong!

[@TheDanbadams]

How was this not on Smother?

[@GarbiKWart]

great song

[@sudapornobom5762]

When I'm depress, here my song.

[@Souky56]

juste magnifique

[@TheHallidude]

Brilliant!

[@ismailozay2173]

I think one of the best of WB. But although I saw live 4rd times in their concerts in istanbul, they never sing this song!?!!

[@perzo449]

fucking amazing wild beasts just keep outdoing themselves

[@syl4697]

This song makes me think they are the gentlest people of all time.

[@linagguz]

Everytime I hear this song I miss my guy. :(

[@freaklawyer]

love

[@magegonewild]

i was about to go insane while trying to find what this song is. thanks for uploading =) and thanks shazam :P

[@adaptkng]

brilliant

[@lordaugustine]

What a wonderful song!!! Since yesterday, i've been listening to it at least 50 times. I've already bought it on iTunes. However, Is there any particular reason for the Wild beasts for not having released this single with the wonderful album Smother? We may ask the same question for the singles Smother and Catherine Wheel. These three singles have been released each time with a single from Smother album.

[@iamsoupcombust]

lemme know if somebody has a version of this without the vocal

[@edmartinz]

If this sounds

[@linagguz]

@Ballsdeepinsomestuff it's okay, I still want my guy. but thanks.

[@cuartobocel5520]

[@Ballsdeepinsomestuff]

I can be your new man.

[@whitebare7]

i wonder why this didn't make the album? flow wasn't a good fit? this would have easily been a album best
