Don't care what anyone says this album is a masterpiece

[spiff_mercurial]

Rory C what's your thesis?!
"I thought it was alright"

[amadeusdekastle]

Breaking the wall at 2:33 with that look. Gets me every time. Rou is just so unimpressed and shares those emotions directly with us through that look.

Whenever I'm on a plane and the plane is turning & about to take off I put on the entire album from the start. Normally 30 seconds are just enough for the synths from 'The Sights' to kick in and the plane is leaving ground. That moment followed by this majestic soundtrack is enough to get high for free.

lyrics here)
.
Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights
Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight

Mr. Magpie
You got distracted by the gleam of the diamonds, as you flew by
But their dull glint does not impress
When there's a billion stars in the sky
I sit gripping my pen like a breadknife
As I write, I'm leaving this Earth for the stars tonight
And now I'm running to board the flight

Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
Unless I'm Jacques Cousteau
I give you my mind to be blown
Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
Like Marcus Cicero
Well this life is whole

I'm searching far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets

Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights
Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights

Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
Unless I'm Jacques Cousteau
I give you my mind to be blown
Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
Like Marcus Cicero
Well this life is whole

I'm searching far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets

It's over now and I'm a little bit petrified
Of what's to come, yeah my head's a bit stir-fried
It's over now and I'm a little unqualified
But fire up the rockets

far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets

'I thought it's alright.' Rory is the cutest! Seriously!

[kotecalder]

I love how Shikari can change their sound on every album they create, and yet still have each tune be uniquely them. These guys are the GOAT

[annemorgan]

Bit disappointed Rou's cat Freya isn't in the vid with a goldfish bowl on her head!!

[lazycalf]

one of their more underrated songs in my opinion. i know underrated is thrown around for alot of things, but i really do feel this deserves it. whoever wrote this song, from one musician to another, you deserve more credit for this song. its written extremely well.

[Msmatilda]

This song lifts my spirit up every single time. A favorite song to drive around and sing along to.

[MeetLocalSingles]

If there was ever a band that truly deserved to be "the first band ever to perform in space"

[RB-fusr]

Favourite song on the album! Great job, guys!

[samadams]

I absolutely fucking love Enter Shikari! I have met them all several times, they're my favourite band, and this is probably my favourite song off The Spark, I cannot thank them enough for producing music in the way that they do, it just always seems fresh, thought provoking and honest 🔽

[Lesbean_Burrito]

The Spark is probably my favorite album of the ones I own. It was an emotional time for me when it released and it still makes me cry sometimes, but in that happy way ✨

[BackwardsDuckie]

I feel like we're gonna get a Rob meme in every video from now on

[Akorn]

Didn't like this album that much at first, but it's definitely growing on me.

[timdornaus]

earliest ive ever been on a shikari vid. one of my faves from the album too.

[novahdesign]

Chris's dancing makes me so happy

[jakobmartens]

Sick! Looking forward to your live performance! It's gonna be giant 😊👍🏻

"I thought it was alright" - typical British politeness when somethings shit
