IDLES - GROUNDS (Official Video)

Directed by Rob French
Produced by JonesMillbank

You will not catch me staring at the sun
Not sucking on a dum dum
Not turning round to run
No Hallelujahs and no kingdom comes
So you will not catch me staring at the sun
Do you hear that thunder?
That’s the sound of strength in numbers
Fee fee fi fi fo fo fum
I smell the blood of a million sons
A million daughters from a hundred thousand guns
Not taught by our teachers
On our curriculum
Do you hear that thunder?
That’s the sound of strength in numbers
I am I
Unify
Not a single thing has ever been mended
By you standing there and saying you’re offended
Go ahead, tell them what I’ve intended
I’ll say what I mean, do what I love
And f*****g send it
Do you hear that thunder?
That’s the sound of strength in numbers
There’s nothing brave and nothing useful
You scrawling your aggro s*** on the walls of the cubicle
Saying my race and class ain’t suitable
So I raise my pink fist and say black is beautiful
Do you hear that thunder?
That’s the sound of strength in numbers
I am I
Unify
I am I
Unify, Unify, Unify
Do you hear that thunder?

Why I am obsessed with Idles at 71 years old is beyond me, but they are my jam.

[Emme-Kappa]

The drums feel like someone is beating me up repeatedly in the face. I love them.

[db]

HE RELEASE A NEW ALBUM.. I LIKE THAT

[TheLamedisaster]

Idles is one of those rare bands that when you first hear them you immediately order their entire back catalog and a tee shirt because you know you're going to be down for life.

'Not a single thing has ever been mended/
By you standing there and saying that you're offended'
Killer line Joe Talbot; bravo. ✊x

[willrees]

idles about to release the greatest album of the decade

[Arrrghjay]

Absolute belter. Perfect timing. First listen in the middle of a thunderstorm too!

[tenson]

Joe Tablot: *writes amazing lyrics, with great messages of solidarity from which emerge the need of a political change.*

also Joe: "Fee fee fi fi fo fo fum"

[paulelemental]

Not a single thing has ever been mended by you standing there saying 'I'm offended'. ❤

[patricktervo]

Y’all are bout to make me cry. I’m so damn happy IDLES is still thriving through such a hellish year. Thank you for being you!

[adammcnally]

The guitars on this and mr motivator sound so goddamn good love how heavy and beefy they sound cant wait to see what theyre like on the rest of the album

[B.r.u.i.s.e.W.a.y.n.e]

When asian honeybees find a murder hornet scouting their hive to set it up for an invasion they send out a signal and in an instant they swarm and surround the intruder, forming a ball of bees around it, completely incapacitating the hornet and trapping it inside. Once it's immobilized the bees then proceed to begin vibrating in unison, slowly but surely increasing their body temperature until it becomes hot enough inside the sphere to cook the hornet alive. Wild enough on it's own sure, but the crazy part is when you find out they vibrate to 115 degrees which is just hot enough to roast the hornet and only 1 degree less than it would take to kill the bees themselves.
Strength. In. Numbers.

[Stefanthenautilus]

The Brits always show us how it's done properly. Love from an American.

[pinkhairedsloth]

Careful IDLES, you’re gonna attract people to Bristol with that kind of sky

[liamguitar]

This is absolutely happiest I’ve been in a long time

[KariLloyd]

That moment when you're just quietly going about your day... and then IDLES drop the best single you've heard all year. #UNITY #AIL

[RegularDude]

this is gonna be one of those songs that make you feel like a badass when you walk down the streets while listening to them

[bigdaz]

My favourite Rock Band in the last 20 Years by some margin. You guys are legit amazing and i try and get everyone i meet or play too (DJ) to listen to your tracks and your message. Killer shit. Always. Best Band to come out of the UK for some time ♥

[Lulu-ivln]

I'm euphoric to be living in the time when Idles are releasing music. You strengthen me, and as a boy always feeling disconnected from society's picture of masculinity and gender norms, i get a sense of camaraderie with your music. Thank you.

[pietrocanonico]

OMG IDLES are back again, awesome evolution of sound in these years.. good job guys thanks for giving us motivation and i hope to see you live very soon
