The song is about pure adrenaline, and every single time I listen to this song, my adrenaline soars, I'm not even kidding. If you just put on/in your head/earphones, and just listen to the background beats and melodies and just succumb yourself to the song, you will piss yourself. It's amazing.

[@alriiightythennn]

The best way to enjoy Alt J in all their glory is to use headphones or on a drive, volume up.

[@AVPutri]

I looked up the lyrics once, and was surprised that most of the words i didn't catch when listening to the song. I didn't know this was possible, but alt-j is really good at syncopating words...if that makes sense.

That drummer....

[@CacauLisboa]

[@diegoalonsobalaguernegrete7237]

Cacau Lisboa this composition in my opinion is complicated

(Good morning flood of blood, good morning everyone)
C-O-double M-O-N
A wave, an awesome wave
That rushes skin and widens in flooded veins
Breathe in, exhale
I’ve poked a nerve; he’ll slap me like a whale
Slaps the C-O-double M-O-N
Tide out, tide in
A flood of blood to the heart and the fear slipstreams
Breathe in, exhale
I’ve poked a nerve; he’ll slap me like a whale
Slaps the C-O-double M-O-N
Flood of blood to the heart

[@ghadasaid9857]

an awesome wave... thank you God for giving us the heart that could receive this awesome wave...

[@therramedia]

"Joe was born in Southampton, whose grass common inspired the track ‘Bloodflood’ - or rather namely “the fear that can happen when you’re approached by people [there] who look like they’re gonna hit you… sometimes you get some unsavoury characters… you think someone’s going to approach you and kick you in the balls.”

It mesmerizes me

[@rubercoober]

[@JayShay491]

Oh my God. Modern music makes sense again.

[@seanwiberg]

really if you think about it, they're just four chaps, just like you or me

[@malbicho2135]

What was the point of this comment?

[@quin4071]

Absolutely anyone can do anything if they really just put their heart in it. Anything by any means can happen but you've gotta out yourself out there and get judged and grow from it, always be original and yourself more than anything.
