IDLES - THE BEACHLAND BALLROOM (Official Video, Pt. 1)

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

Time to build my personality around this for the next 6 months

[papaglucu]

Glad to hear Joe really experimenting with the scale of his voice and adding some melody to it. Can’t wait to see what’s more to come.

[Nevita_Vid]

IDLES is the most underrated band I know. They're incredible

[grahamkristensen]

For those who don't know, the Beachland Ballroom is a music venue in Cleveland that Idles played two shows at. I was there for both shows. The first was in the tavern where they played to a group of about 30 people. The second was in the main ballroom where they played to a sold out crowd. I saw them again at another sold out show at The Agora, which has a capacity of 3, 000 people. Everyone sang along to this song.

EVERYBODY STAY CALM IDLES IS GOING TO SAVE US FROM OUR MISERY

[IDLESBAND]

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

[bunnylikesgingerale]

this song sounds like what it feels like to slowly learn how to love again

[alegiu]

I've been building my personality around this for the past 22 years

[josephwright]

actually Joe's best vocal performance yet. He takes his voice to another level that I didn't know he could reach

[JordonD]

I cannot genuinely, nor fully, express my love for the journeys you take us all on together. Idles have changed my life, opened my eyes and the opinions on myself. I am beautiful, you are beautiful, I'll see you very soon.

[markearnestfromreno]

Yes yes yes! Soul music on steroids. Joe has outdone himself vocally on this one. Moving and beautiful and abrasive at the same time. 👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[Alias_]

definitely the hardest cover of 'Must be Love on the Brain'
IDLES is so brave for covering Rhianna

[scottwherle]

Joe’s usual kinda talk/howl thing is a huge part of what I love about IDLES…but then he sings like this and makes me question everything.

[frankiebarbingo]

no band captures the feeling of struggling with mental health better than IDLES. i cannot overstate how important this band has become to me.

also, their show in nashville was the best fucking show i've EVER seen. bar none. not even close.

much love.

[fritzjensen]

I love Joe's voice so much. He makes my mind feel things no other singer has ever done. I dont think theres a single Idles song I dont like. Thank you to this amazing man and amazing band for changing my life and making me feel so good.

[jakepowell]

Shit day at work, shit week at home, shit year for us ... yet I'm smiling with this tune in my heart, thank you isn't even enough.

[winterfrost]

this song makes me cry, idk y. but it does

[garethbright]

You’re some kind of special Joe Talbot. That kind of special that makes us believe we’re special too! That’s a big gift. Thank you, and Thank you Idles.

[LDSJ]

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the raw power in Joe’s voice. But this song just touches my soul

[parallaxr]

This song simultaneously makes me want to A) completely withdraw from everything, wrap myself in a warm blanket, and cry myself to sleep, and B) Scream the lyrics from the top of my lungs both as a means of alleviating this pain within and also to let those who have harmed me know so. Probably always gonna stick with option A, tho.
