* with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
** with black midi

[keithsquires]

I seriously can’t stop listening to this song. I’ve streamed it so much on Spotify that I’ve probably made the band 70 cents.

[froggobaggins]

Please someone put this clip on TV. It's the kind of music video that makes a 7 years old kid dream and wonder if what he saw earlier in his life was real until he fall again on it on internet randomly and get hit by a wave of nostalgia.

[luistabares]

so are black midi antagonists in the bcnrverse

[QweepQweep]

This album is like a magnum opus, for Isaac to put so much passion and pain into his lyrics, only to leave the band after it releases, it feels like the ultimate catharsis.

[Justus-evmd]

Oh "ants from up there", I get it now

[zeilian]

i think 'ants from up there' is going to be a masterpiece.

[fabianmac]

Absolutely loved the black midi reference in the logo of the uniforms

[quinnnewman]

The metaphor of a failed relationship as a concorde jet is beautiful

[el_mal_de_ojo]

I don't know what they had in mind specifically when they wrote this song, but it made me cry the first time I heard it, as soon as I heard "And the doctor said, "We are unfortunately running out of options to treat" ", as my mom passed away from cancer a few months before listening. Bless you all.

[JPTQJR]

The ending of this song still stings like the first time I listened to it
Really excited for the new record

[brightestblue]

Loved the little cameos by Tyler, Charlie, Luke and Lewis.

[ablus]

I didnt understand this album when it dropped at all. After breaking up with who I thought was the love of my life its since become my favorite album of all time. Absolutely devastating, 10/10.

[Qwertyziks]

i cant describe how much this song means to me right now. my fiance broke up with me 4 weeks ago because i was too dependent on her for my happiness. i really relate to a lot of the lyrics on this album, the themes of codependency and dysfunction. beautiful songwriting

[davejacob]

i love the line "what a funny way to speak" - i might misunderstand it, but i always interpret it as inability to accept the inavitable soulcrushing things to come.

[therealDJBoring]

Lyrics:
Concorde, this organ
The new one I'm forming
It's grown so persistent on you
By the morning I'd fell to my feet
And the doctor said we are unfortunately
Running out of options to treat
What a funny way to speak

And you, like Concorde
I came, a gentle hill racer
I was breathless
Up on every mountain
Just to look for your light

Concorde, I miss you
Don't text me til winter
I can hardly afford
A second summer of Splinters
This staircase - it leads only to
Some old pictures of you
Through an a-thousand mile long tube
Hey, what's a city boy to do?

And you, like Concorde
I came, a gentle hill racer
I was breathless
Up on every mountain
Just to look for your light
But for less than a moment
We'd share the same sky
And then Isaac will suffer
Concorde will Fly

Concorde, we're old now
And you wield a lightsaber
And led by the dark to our place on the table
So don't tell me you're hungry
Cause darling I'm starving myself
And I heard you're on Atkins as well
I was made to love you
Can't you tell?

And you, like Concorde
I came, a light blue sleeper
And I laid dead or twitching
For most of the night
But I know that you'll be there
The Sandman inside
And I'll come to like a child
And Concorde and I
Die free this time

[thesmellyflowerpot]

Every new song sounds like a different band while still sounding like BCNR. I'm hearing echoes of Pavement and, unexpectedly but delightfully, Jonathan Richman. They've pretty much ticked all the numbers on my 'favourite underground bands of the last fifty years' bingo card while still sounding fresh and exciting.

[icetusk]

This is the first song I've ever heard from this group, I love it! Definitely excited now for their next album!

[wherearetheavocados]

I immediately searched this on youtube after I saw it today on MTV JESUS CHRIST THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV SONG NOW!!!!
