The amazing thing about The Joy Formidable's music is that as soon as that guitar kicks in, or those drums or bass kicks in, it grabs you right in the middle of your chest and you're hooked, people who truly love music will understand that feeling when a song touches right in your throat, chest and stomach the feeling is so beautiful. I love this band they're are amazing both in the studio and live, I hope soon to have the experience of seeing them in there element, ROCKING THE FUCK OUT!!!!!
Storytime: so I first found out about this band from Late Night with David Letterman. I was working a part-time job at the time minimum wage. I heard that they were going to be at this show not even 2 months from then. I was taking my mom to treatment during that time, and I was helping with the bills. So I didn't have much. Needless to say, it did not stop me from spending my money on tickets for my friend, myself, and for his friends to come with us. This was the first song they played when they showed. This was how the edge Stole Christmas 2011. One of the best memories of my life thus far.
The music is great, her vocals are great, but for me, the thing that just makes this song absolutely beautiful is her enunciation. Every single word is so crisp and perfectly said.
The Joy Formidable is my favorite band of all time. Here we are bending feet In the dark before dreamless sleep Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze Throws you in the dark Happiness, it won't last long And this child behind stores it all The failed man's curse And the cost of nonchalance I thank you sly, watchful gene A plastic life up my sleeve If you've followed this far You've realized nothing Now your world is here Watch it disappear Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me And it all plays out And it always comes around The message fades but the mess prevails You reckless thing leaving you in our hands Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me Abacus haunting me Abacus watching me All we have is this chance called memory (Haunting me) All we have is this chance called memory (Watching me) All we have is this chance called memory (Haunting me) All we have is this chance called memory
Heard this song when I was about 15-16, and my life was at a super insecure and dark part. I never felt the emotions I felt, after hearing this chorus.
The Vampire Diaries is pretty cool. I'm not a woman or gay or black. Straight white male minority speaking here. It can get a little painful to watch sometimes- it's targeted to women but over all I like it.
Saw these guys at lollapalooza last summer. Easily the best performance by a new/up-and-coming band I've ever seen. There were maybe 1000 people in the crowd, tops, and we were all floored.
Best Band of the twenty-teens. I hope they do this for twenty years. Love the feedback which hits the sternum like a gale. The Welsh can sing. And unlike conformist American rock fans, UK music fans like to Dance. Bloody good, lads.
The Joy Formidable has quickly become one of my favorite bands to listen to, but I have just no idea what half of these lyrics mean. I've listened to "Chapter 2" like a million times now (because it fucking rocks) and I still have no idea what is going on in it.

I am one of those people, and I agree with you entirely!
Nah man, its a great name....Do you not feel the joy when you listen to when of their songs? The joy is formidable man.

can't stop listening
The Secret Circle sent me here, and I'm glad about it, such a good band! :)
How does this not have millions of views?! The internet has failed me 😭😭
Especially after some 13+ years.
The Joy Formidable is my favorite band of all time.
Here we are bending feet
In the dark before dreamless sleep
Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze
Throws you in the dark
Happiness, it won't last long
And this child behind stores it all
The failed man's curse
And the cost of nonchalance
I thank you sly, watchful gene
A plastic life up my sleeve
If you've followed this far
You've realized nothing
Now your world is here
Watch it disappear
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
And it all plays out
And it always comes around
The message fades but the mess prevails
You reckless thing leaving you in our hands
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
Abacus haunting me
Abacus watching me
All we have is this chance called memory
(Haunting me)
All we have is this chance called memory
(Watching me)
All we have is this chance called memory
(Haunting me)
All we have is this chance called memory
Brilliant song, brilliant band.
So much Joy and so intense. ♥
DEFINITELY my favorite song from T.J.F-been with them for three years,still can't get over their originality. -Big fan
My fave song from the album!
Heard this song when I was about 15-16, and my life was at a super insecure and dark part. I never felt the emotions I felt, after hearing this chorus.
It's on my running mix!

Waterloo Road brought me here, great show 👍

I came here of my own accord. I'm that cool.

This is probably my favorite song off the album.

Awesome to find this band, something really good for a change!
I think this has to be my favorite song from the whole album.
it started with whirring, was on the radio everyday now im hooked on every song.
The world is a better place with Ritzy in it.
Agreed
you can tell by her expression she is so deep into this music, shes amazing
is it just me or are these lyrics easily memorable? i love to sing along! ❤️
Good ol' rock. No pretensious garbage just pure emotion and heavy sound.
i'm so obsessed with this band! You need to make music forever. Never stop. Stay in my life. xD
How the hell could I miss this great band.
love her voice
These guys are so amazing. I can't stop listening to their music. its so cool.
OMG I just started listening to them this is probably my favorite song so far.
When she sings "cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeeeze!" all the hair on my arms and neck stand on end. Incredible song.
I haven't heard a song as powerful, beautiful, and painful as this in a long, long time.
this really makes me feel something
This is beautiful in every way possible. I'm completely stunned.
Saw these guys at lollapalooza last summer. Easily the best performance by a new/up-and-coming band I've ever seen. There were maybe 1000 people in the crowd, tops, and we were all floored.
One of the best songs ever made: ever!
what an unbelievably good song
