It's hard for me to find a way to start channeling my thoughts on this song because when I'm listening to it they are silenced by the incredible sound I'm hearing. To me, it's more about feeling this song than just hearing it. I have to agree with my dad and say it adds something special to a song when it starts out soft and then slowly builds up into a more powerful sound. With this song, this style works incredibly well. You really get a sense of honesty and connection to the lyrics when the song begins with just Yannis Philippakis singing with a really nice guitar sound complementing him. Slowly, the sound builds with just a slight hint of bass and drum. Then there's that magic moment when the bass line decides to run away with the song, leading the drums and guitar with it to make THE sound. The sound where a guitar, bass, and drum find their own melodic groove but still fit together seamlessly. To me, it is one of music most supreme sounds and what makes me truly love a band. Foals does this incredibly well. They are a band that attracts your ear to both the individual instruments and their sound as a whole. Beyond a doubt my favorite part of this particular song, is the bass line. I've come to realize many of my favorite bands are labeled as such because they know how to treat a bass line. Make it melodic and prominent in your sound and you've got pure music gold on your hands. Check out the music video cause it's pretty sweet.
