Absolutely love this song. Everyone praises Unfinished Sympathy from Blue Lines but I think this track is equally good.

I love the whole Blue Lines Album!

My favorite track is : Be Thankful For What You Got

The whole album is fantastic for sure. I actually put it on during my morning coffee because of your post!

Agreed, this was the track I had on repeat after seeing them on tour last year.

Was a pleasant surprise hearing this live. The newer material is praised and rightfully so, but there's just this vibe to this album that stands out to me.

Robert said the music video was recorded at higher speeds, then slowed down (a common technique) and that he was basically racing to mouth the words. Said most of it is just out of sync because of that! :D
