I'm 31 now. I was I think 16 or 17 when this album was released. Idk I never got into ac/dc, led zeppelin or any big old bands that all the rockers at my school swore were the best bands ever. I remember thinking well they were great back then and it now 2005 I think the world is different and those older bands just dont do it for me. Now I'm here in 2020 listening to this because it just came into my life at the perfect time
whoa this sense of panic, nostalgia and nausea came over me as soon as I heard the first note. I feel sad and happy at the same time. Time is moving so fast - that's kinda giving me anxiety
reallyx... im german... and i know this song is old... but still its one of the best song i ve ever listen to-... makes me to forget everthibg and think about my died dog emma who' ´s died 09.15 .2011. i' ll never forget you.... rest in peace :)
As I understand this song, it's an expression an internal struggle to embrace the personal transmutation needed to leave "childish" idealism behind and accept the oppressing reality that is socially accepted.
i miss that Bloc part.Dont get me wrong,other albums also have some great songs but Silent Alarm,AWITC and some old bsides/demos had that special feel to them.
4 years later and I'm still listening to this like it's my first time. And no dislikes. Life is good. Keep this up, swltony! This is the only one available on RUclips. Fight the Corporates!
this is really aweswome, man. :) seriuosly, one of their better videos by far. and fan made, are you kidding me? totally beats out some of the i still remember contestants.
wow i thought its the official video, but i realized its a fanmade one^^ great work... would be glad if you make some more of BC... btw BLOC PARTY BEST BAND EVER
A close friend of mine has had drinks with Kele. He said his lyrics mean a lot but are also like a poem….. you can take your own interpretation “We’re all scared of the future” That’s fucking haunting. Love it. For me this song is about the strangeness we have by being in the now and wanting to feel tomorrow. We make plans. Get bogged down, distract …… it’s about progress I’ve got a taste for blood 🩸

This was the music of that era.
Same age bro. Getting a whole new appreciation for them at this age now
I wish I could say the same, I hate being a Gen Z :(
i was 15 years when silent alarm was released, and man i enjoyed every song from that album so that i buy it myself the deluxe version of the album
That's right

Wake up sleepy head. It's happening without you
Great video. Could honestly pass as a professional video. Why is that bloc party fans make the best music videos?
awesome video thx mate
man this is really really awesome, baralaisblaze is right, thats on of "their" better videos.
the beginning reminds me of compliments though.
Always wanted to hear this song played at a new years eve party, I dunno why I'm just wierd that way.
Thanks a bunch.
silent alarm
Thanks Nat
yeah the music is great but i prefer "like eating glass" and the music since 3:00 is fucking awesome!!
I've never seen this video...
this video is really good, but I think it would of been better if you used only performance and fireworks.
make it rain in
Someone explain the meaning behind this song. I can't work it out...which is annoying as i have for most of them
