[TheSelfEscape]

Am I the only one who thinks this is the best song on the album?

[IggySquirrelz]

This is quintessential Alt-j. It just shows why they’re my favorite band.

[ksenias]

My mom asked me to play this song for 4 times in a row while she was driving a car yesterday
The feeling you can get from this song even without understanding the language is indescribable

[DannKriss]

Am I cold? I cannot tell
Have I fallen? Or am I falling down this stairwell?
Oh, the cadence of the glow
Concussive flashes of distant memories
Good God, I feel your hands on me
In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps
Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me
Sonny Green is feeling slow
Pepped up with a bag so righteous he sings all of Rubber Soul
Oh, the cadence of the glow
Percussive flashes over dimly lit country
Good God, I feel your hands on me
In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps
Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me
Silk, dampened, unknown, over final thoughts
Where will I be in two years?
Euphoria breaks over the bow, washing up the macabre
Out to sea to my mother's arms
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
Awake and not awake
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
Awake and not awake
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
Awake and not awake

One of my favourite Alt-J tracks to date. Been hoping for a full upload of this, so I can see comments on it!

Youtube deciding to deactivate comments on mix playlists was a terrible idea

[soy]

the slow build up is everything on this track, and the climax with the strings after the bridge at 2:52 is *pure eargasm* . bravo alt j bravo

[rebelske]

Alt-J always manage to tell entire stories in just one song and this song is no exception!

[taylorfriedman]

The diction that alt-J uses in their songs is so poetically abstract that I'm lost in its beauty. God I love it.

[marissaversebadilla]

Not even joking... I've been listening to this all day lmao

[irishbear]

My favorite is Walk A Mile. This one is my wife’s fave. Love The Beatles vibe in this one. The outtro drums get me happy!!!

[onestepfromhell_]

I understand this song as the last memories of a dying person, their life just flows in front of their eyes and gradually they leave this world

[katelater]

Cannot express my love for the latest album

[lefthandfree]

The into to the song always gives me goosebumps, I remember the exact feeling when alt-j played this at a concert. It was so amazing. I got a cold shock through my body, it definitely wasn’t because it was 35 and the concert was outdoors! I love talking about this feeling and my experience

[alaskayoung]

everytime they create something i know it's always going to be amazing but i can't help but be surprised because it's always better than i think it's going to be

[gingercupid]

This is so mesmerizing, I love it. I feel as if I'm in a trance listening to this, thinking of the future romances I have yet to indulge myself in.

[ComedyLoverGirl]

This is a song about getting murdered. But like all Alt-J songs, it's not about exactly what the subject is, but capturing the intensity of human emotions in various situations of high emotion. The moments before death just so happens to be one of those things this band captures so poetically. So much raw emotion and truths in their music. My favourite band.

[Austistatistic]

This is a 5/5 song. Those are extremely rare!

10th time on repeat, and I still want more.

[emadjshah]

I discovered alt-j yesterday and have already listened to most of his songs. I'm so in love with his music I wish had discovered him sooner

[mesa]

I have no words to describe how I'm feeling while listening to this song... Just... .... shivers down my spine ❤

[kathyhollenbach]

Very well done, a bit operatic, low key Queen sounding but definitely their best song in awhile. Absolutely great!!
