I think decyphering these lyrics is my life goal. Such a beautiful song. I listen to it almost every night as I attempt to fall asleep. So deep and melancholly. Like knowing your dying, but being okay with it.
I also wondered about this, but I've read interviews with Barry, and he says he just sings nonsense into the vocoder - that it responds better to nonsense words. He said his nightmare is that a dry mix of the vocal gets recorded and people hear it 😆
It saddens me to think that Sigur Ros and Mogwai would never play at the same concert or share a stage or studio. I think i would be in heaven then. Does anyone else feel the same?
A fan from Marseilles, France.. i was at this concert, it is not DVD release, but TV Release. I did record it when broadcasting, so i have Master DVD quality from this incredible and powerful band, ask me if you want a copy ^^
.......from deep in the very hot California desert may I add my PERFECT. What a treat. Been following them for a couple of years and can't wait to hear where they go next.....this is what makes life worth living.
So, So, Thank You Very Much... Dear Shok These Trees... Shocked... i Am, When i Watch This... -:) Take Care EACH ONE OF EACH OTHERS... AND OUR TREES TOO. -:)
Love it!! Mogwai fan from Reading, UK The cello was an inspired addition and the delay coupled with the overdrive effects on the guitars in the end build up, a min or two after the electro beat kicks in, just sounds eargasmic! ;)
I saw Mogwai live in July here in Italy, at Soundlabs festival...great show, this was one of the last tracks they played, and it completely blew me away!!!
This is one of the most gorgeous, elegantly constructed pieces of music I've ever heard. As good as it is live, the album version is even better. I swear the first time I heard this song, I was humming the melody before I heard it fully emerge (it takes a few minutes to knit itself together). I'm not bragging; that's just the way this song gets inside your head and *fits.* I really want to see Mogwai tour with GY!BE. Maybe if we fast and pray, the archangel Michael could open for them.
Mogwai join Sigur Ros and Explosions the Sky in my trifecta of essential bands. I dont know why but when I listen to these three i always get the feeling that SR provide the organic (Glosoli), Mogwai the industrial (autorock, kids will be..) and EITS the human emotional (your hand in mine, first breath..) sounds. Does anyone agree?
They're touring later in the year - They're playing london, edingburgh and manchester for sure - I'm going to see them in machester in late oct :D CAN'T WAIT!!!
The cello makes this, in my opinion. The album version is already my favorite Mogwai song... but the cello puts it over the top as far as one of my favorite songs of all time.
have u reckon? the melody that goes on and on for this song is like six or seven seconds but they exploit it so well. and the drums are so tight. uhhh! its awesome. their awesome. one of my favs.
Good post. This video is actually a way better aural experience than the album version, the cello is amazing. I dont think you can split Mogwai and SR at all, they seem intertwined to me, they complement each other so well even though they move in different directions. I'd also like to throw 3epKano, Mono and God is an Astronaut into the ring as bands you guys all might like. Enjoy the music :)
No originally the part that the cello is doing is vocals processed though effects. I'm not sure about trumpets? Maybe. Definately vocals in the song though that don't appear in this live version.

My favourite song ever
the cello is actually amazing for this song, too bad i couldn't find a better version of this song with the cello, its dope!
exactly, saving this video just for that alone
Listened to them since I was 15, now 26, they will always remain special in my heart. Long live Mogwai!
I found them at 15, now I'm 35 nothing changes with mogwai
Never take this down please!
It saddens me to think that Sigur Ros and Mogwai would never play at the same concert or share a stage or studio. I think i would be in heaven then. Does anyone else feel the same?
maaaan i wish they would publish a version of this with the cello with studio recording quality
Best version ever
The album version was so good, but this version with the cello is nothing less than perfect and beautiful
As great live as they are in the studio. The best band to ever come out of Scotland.
