[@TheMikeyH123]

actually unhealthy how much I listen to this version

[@77dris]

Same.

[@richim2326]

The way we all heard it at first was pretty mind blowing (i think)... and then this f**king beautiful band go and do THIS!....

[@Meechskii]

lmao I'm fucking obsessed

[@nikibarry7130]

Same

[@TheMuirClan]

As they say in Thailand: "Same Same" :)

[@midori8944]

The "You rock my world" is my absolute favourite in every version of this song ❤️

[@TheMuirClan]

YES!!! The intonation is amazing on that, right? This is my fav version of this song :)

[@p0ssesst]

3:09

[@8organharvester]

that you rock my wooorld~~

[@alexpiedrabuena6066]

YES !!! since the first time I hear this song that is an awesome singing-pronunciation-quote !!! in every version as you say !!! Totally agree !!! 👏👏👏

[@kitsunegao]

I'm obsessed with this song, this version in particular, I love it

[@bobdevons4741]

Kate Saravia ditto

[@deyaniravianney5200]

amazing band and also Ellie's voice is so powerful I love Wolf Alice

[@miminoesta]

@@bobdevons4741 Staraptor

[@77dris]

Yeah I wasn't a fan of most of their music, and the official version of this was sort of "flat" and "meh". THIS however is magic!

[@TheMuirClan]

Me too! My fav version ... great vocals, raw guitar, cool Roland drum pads - beautiful uncluttered arrangement :)

[@awfulinternet]

Audio engineer is on point, holy shit. Every other live performance has clipping somewhere or sounds unbalanced, this is flawless.

[@77dris]

KEXP and Tiny Desk are the best.

[@JHA854]

Kexp always has godly audio

[@animalspy7096]

I agree! the sound from both channels are so good! KXP and Tiny Desk. The world should know!

[@stephaniebakula1711]

She cut the key down several notches but I still love it

[@Manseb]

I think they've reverse engineered from the drum volume which makes it easier. Everything is probably fairly quiet.

[@dylanbuchman8128]

This is GOOD song-writing. It's story-telling and the story is love, great song

[@elle7153]

seriously. It's their best lyrics and one of the bests that I have heard.

[@astroandyborgloh]

Just in case, no one noticed and mentioned: the whole band is awesome, and Ellie is a gem.

[@billtang79]

I just know this song. And KEXP is killing it with the sound. The sound engineer did a killer job

[@umcsk8]

Ahh her voice is so perfect

[@ciaranrogers3904]

No matter how many years go by. When I return here, I still feel the exact same as when I first heard this.. Underrated & soulful ❤

[@peepingsid2096]

To all broken and single hearts out there xx

[@jasonk848]

I am so happy this exists.

[@samisbahi6651]

M so happy the whole genre exists

[@jyc000]

Probably my favourite live version of this song

[@jacobcumstons1234]

YiChen Jiang same here. I’ve seen them a few times and I’ve never seen this rearranged version. But they killed ‘Bros’ so much!!!

[@budbinner2276]

I can’t get enough of this song.

[@BTVS666]

One of the best live versions of this song. And I've heard a lot because I just love it for many reasons.

[@callumsand]

Voice is amazing, but this has sent it to a new level. I can't stop playing 🙌

[@raleydelk3541]

Such a great sound. Love the vocals here, mixing singing and speaking

[@enriquefernandezco.4188]

Sometimes lack words, intelligence, and maybe education to express what mean this song in My life, only after of the end of all, thanks Alice Wolf for made this song...blessing to You and for more of these...so such intensive like this. ❤🎉😊😊😊

[@nickrailer2202]

Surely the most talented band out there at the moment 🙌🙌🙌

[@clintc9813]

Ellie's voice melts me. Just perfect.

[@aakama]

Love in COVID times..... Best version ever! Never delete any kisses

[@chiyeunglau4322]

I swear Ive watched this over 100 times

[@bestthinger]

This song is so angelic compared to some of their hard stuff. Love it

[@davidantolinez23]

This is so amazing! On thier first visit to KEXP they were so shy and you could easily tell they were new in the "big scene". Since then they have played in many festivals and sold-out shows. They have grown a lot in this couple of years. I really wish they could go to South America, so I could see them live. Thank you so much KEXP for this!

[@IceSpoon]

Kevin Suggs, you're the best audio engineer in the story of engineering

[@andyreid8098]

Totally agree. It is godlike production. Rolli Mossman level of amazing

[@josephmanning1291]

She's amazing isn't she

[@Nachoneary]

i still come back to listen to this performance

[@andyreid8098]

This version of the song is so much more than any other. The restraint the band displays, including hers, is so strong you can feel it in a physical way and it almost hurts. I think it's one of the best songs ever recorded. They should honestly release it as a downloadable standalone. Perfect production and just sheer musical beauty.

[@ivanbakhvalov4731]

Every song just sounds way better at KEXP. Her voice is beautiful.

[@sayankundu5830]

Heartstopper brought me to this absolute gem ❤️

[@markjones1258]

This is a treat for the ears

[@bazman7039]

This version is so pure.

[@matemate783]

Man the sound quality is superb! KEXP rocks

[@jaqg7478]

Such a beautiful woman and marvellous voice and feelings

[@samisbahi6651]

This style of songs is life for me it takes me to the heaven of my mind

[@Teresalein97]

this is so beautiful, Ellie is angelic

[@luxlynx999]

im here for heartstopper this version is beautiful 😭💕💞💓

[@lenthe9814]

omg same

[@YTUse601]

Just watched Heartstopper for the first time and I'm obsessed. This scene at the end of episode 1 makes me cry just to think about, how the lyrics of this song match their blossoming youthful relationship so perfectly. It's haunting and poignant and beautiful

[@devonputra4362]

This should be the official version. 😍

[@arjya1987]

The voice.... My goodness.

[@theLukedishwasher]

A can’t envisage a time I won’t watch this over and over. It’s such a touching song - what if love’s not meant for me? Why ask that question? Why? No, don’t answer, you’ll spoil it for me.

[@BewaretheCherryWaves]

Ellie's voice is amazing. Even through a cold she still sounds better then most.

[@Qwerty1235945]

What a stunning version of this song. Audio quality is just superb.

[@leenhares]

oh goddess, I'm crying bc I love this song so much ♥️

[@dylanraffaelli5204]

danielli linhares same :) beautiful ❤️

[@andyreid8098]

I get it and agree

[@AndrewLynn-en5ui]

The best performance up there with the Mercury awards performance.

[@DavidSinghDosanjh]

🙌🏽 “You rockkkkk my world...” 🙌🏽

[@MrPullenbirds]

Fk , this caught me off guard . Relatable beauty captured forever in a moment ✨️

[@johnfglynn]

WTF. Amazing

[@anthony4620]

My absolute fav version of this song

[@sreanahabiba1914]

wow i genuinely think im in love

[@pedalnrocknroll]

All the ingredients here for a major ground breaking group.... routing for you Wolf Alice!

[@bealiberlin]

So utterly romantic....

[@mikewood9514]

pure class from band and audio guys.

[@richharding7927]

Absolutely astounding version.

[@krisicism1392]

Lyrics I see the signs of a lifetime, you 'til I die And I'm swiftly out, Irish goodbye What if it's not meant for me? love What if it's not meant for me? love I'd like to get to know you I'd like to take you out We'd go to The Hell Mary And afterwards make out instead I'm typing you a message That I know I'll never send Rewriting old excuses Delete the kisses at the end When I see you, the whole world reduces To just that room And then I remember and I'm shy that gossip's eye will look too soon And then I'm trapped, overthinking And yeah, probably self-doubt You tell me to get over it and to take you out But I can't, I'm too scared And there's the night-bus, I have to go And the doors are closing and you were waving And I like you, and I'll never let it show And you won't wait and maybe I won't mind I work better on my own And now I'm, well, a bit drunk And I ask myself What if it's not meant for me? love What if it's not meant for me? love A few days pass since I last saw you And you have taken over my mind I'm re-telling jokes you made that made me laugh Pretending that they're mine I wanna tell the whole world about you I think that that's a sign I'm losing self control and it's you It really is, one thousand times I look at your picture and I smile How awful's that? I'm like a teenage girl I might as well write all over my notebook That you 'rock my world!' But you do, you really do You've turned me upside down And that's okay, I'll let it happen 'Cause I like having you around I'm electric, a romantic cliché And they really are all true And we catch eyes in a stupid party I know exactly what to do I'll take your hand, and we will leave French exit for me and you You know I'm home, a little bit drunk Some things don't change and I know now Me and you were meant to be in love Me and you were meant to be in love Me and you I see the signs of a lifetime, you 'til I die Songwriters: Ellen Ciara Rowsell / Joel Donald Scott Amey / Jonathan David Oddie / Theodore Joseph Ellis Don’t Delete the Kisses lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

[@matics898]

Did they ever play this acoustic version at a live show? It's sooo much better than the classic version IMO.

[@kjellbjorgen4531]

Isn’t this something!

[@ale14zoppi]

Best indie song in fucking existance

[@marissayudinar]

absolutely gorgeous overall performance, endearing lyrics and lovely vocal delivery. Although they transposed the chords down like 4 times. :)

[@TheMuirClan]

The lower key works for me :) It sure can change a song's feel.
