IDLES - THE BEACHLAND BALLROOM (Official Video, Pt. 2)

LYRICS:
They could hear me scream for miles, the silence ringing for days
The wind that turns the trees, made me sway, made me sway, made me sway

Doberman they stood proud, the ferns loomed as I lay
The waves slapped like shin to wood
And I laid, I laid, I laid

Inch by inch, foot by foot, I was on my knees for days
And then I set on all fours and I made, I made, I made, I made

I’m not praying, baby
I’m not begging, darling
I’m not praying, baby
I’m not begging, darling

Soon as the rush went away, I need not look for a way
Damage, Damage, Damage,
If you see me down on my knees, please do not think that I pray
Damage, Damage, Damage

Soon as the rush went away, I need not look for a way
Damage, Damage, Damage
If you see me down on my knees, please do not think that I’m praying
Damage, Damage, Damage
Damage, Damage, Damage

[damianharkin]

I’m 45 years old and just got out of hospital having had a triple bypass. I feel like I’ve been run over by a bus and I can just about walk 100 yards before I’m exhausted but this song makes me want to continue the fight, thanks boys.

[yashovardhangadekar]

Dear invincible force thats stopping Joe from touching the camera, please just let him once hes trying so hard.

[deleonfire]

The way Joe is moving is almost as disturbing as the lyrics of this beautiful and haunting song. Absolute perfection.

[charlieboy]

This has to feel so satisfying for Joe to sing because its definitely satisfying to listen to. Scratches the perfect itch

[terraxbytes]

They could hear me scream for miles
The silence ringing for days
The wind that turns the trees
Made me sway, made me sway
Made me sway
Doberman, they stood proud
The ferns loomed as I lay
The waves slapped like shins to wood
And I laid, I laid, I laid
Inch by inch, foot by foot
I was on my knees for days
And then I set on all fours
And I made, I made, I made, I made
I'm not praying, baby
I'm not begging, darling
I'm not praying, baby
I'm not begging, darling
Soon as the rush went away
I need not look for a way
Damage, damage, damage
If you see me down on my knees
Please, do not think that I pray
Damage, damage, damage
Soon as the rush went away
I need not look for a way
Damage, damage, damage
If you see me down on my knees
Please, do not think that I pray
Damage, damage, damage
Damage, damage, damage

[spinittweeks]

The decade’s best song. Don’t give a fuck if it’s only just started. No chance it’s getting topped

[StevenMenszerMusic]

I don’t find the need to post on videos often, but this isn’t just music, this is art, and like any masterpiece, it has moved me. The pain in the lyrics and the way Joe sings them match the pain that’s been inside me since I lost my wife two years ago. I am not an angry man, but I am a broken one, and this isn’t something that you either get or you don’t, this song gets me. Thank you, boys, for giving a 35-year-old widower with barely little will to live a bit of catharsis. My pain will come back—it always does—but for the moment, listening to this on repeat, I feel lighter.

They could hear me scream for miles, the silence ringing for days
The wind that turns the trees, made me sway, made me sway, made me sway


Doberman they stood proud, the ferns loomed as I lay
The waves slapped like shin to wood
And I laid, I laid, I laid


Inch by inch, foot by foot, I was on my knees for days
And then I set on all fours and I made, I made, I made, I made


I’m not praying, baby
I’m not begging, darling

I’m not praying, baby

I’m not begging, darling

Soon as the rush went away, I need not look for a way
Damage, Damage, Damage,

If you see me down on my knees, please do not think that I pray
Damage, Damage, Damage

Soon as the rush went away, I need not look for a way
Damage, Damage, Damage

If you see me down on my knees, please do not think that I’m praying
Damage, Damage, Damage
Damage, Damage, Damage

[darkstarkingsneighbour]

The DAMAGE! lines always gives me chills

[asiimwemmanuel]

I love how at some points you can't tell if he's going forwards or backwards. Really adds to the energy of the song

[Hamidplzz]

Im living in graveyard named Iran.
And all my consolations to live here is metal music.
So Thank idles.

[DerHighnachtsmann]

If you see me down on my knees, please do not think that i pray DAMAGE DAMAGE DAMAGE 🖤

[magnusclaesson]

I’m so happy that I found you at “Tiny Desk” about two years ago! I love each and every song that you’ve done! 🖤

[madmayo]

One of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard in my entire life…❤

[doppelteglasur]

cant stop watch his expressions, the look and anger in his face and voice speaks for itself. i love how they did this. there can always be this invisible force at anytime that drags you down on your knees, and you have to fight to stand up and work yourself forward. fucking love you guys!

[totallyrealfilms]

This Is a song i will never get tired of. I used to play this song when I started to feel sad or depressed and unfortunately I have been finding myself here more frequently as of late. There are no emotional pain killers but every time I hear the DAMAGE it comes pretty close. I think everyone can conjured up a certain memory with the lyrics and for me these memories just keep coming. Hopefully one day I will look back on this comment and say to my past self that I am finally over this.

[younghappy]

Reminds me of those dreams in which you never reach where you're trying to get to, constantly waylaid.

[obtusemoOOose]

Thanks for making a song titled after one of Cleveland's best music venues! It's a great honor coming from one of my favorite bands! Much love gentlemen. Great work!

[markpriss]

The band everyone should be talking about in 2022! If “CRAWL” does not get nominated for the best rock album of the year like EVERYWHERE music as an art form is truly lost for this generation! Heart and soul! This is where it’s at! And people say there’s no good music being made today. This is FIRE and Joe is an incredible singer who understands what makes a great singer! Masterpiece indeed!

[jotapegoma]

IDLES es de lo mejor que me ha pasado este año.
