LYRICS:
If I pose enough threat
If I pull on the thread
Will you try
If I open the tear
With my best stare
Will you buy
If I smash down the walls
If I ignore your calls
Will you believe
If I choke out the sun
If I blister the hum
Will you breathe
Am I almost there
With my death stare
Will you kneel
I am baby’s breath
I dance with death
Will you kneel
I’m sorry for the things that I said
I danced til my feet bled
I’m never gonna die
Ooh take the posers instead
The narcs, the fakes and the feds
I’m gonna fly
Baby
Babe
Baby
I’m a smart man
But I’m dumb for you
If I see myself
If I give them hell
Will you fly
If I cut off the head
Of the hand that fed
Are you mine
If I pummel and maim
If I piss up the drain
Will you hear
If I pull at your hair
Scream bloody air
Come near
If I cut at the clef
If I rip at its neck
Will you cheer
I am baby's breath
I dance with death
Will you kneel
I’m sorry for the things that I said
I danced til my feet bled
I’m never gonna die
Ooh take the posers instead
The narcs, the fakes and the fedsI’m gonna fly
Baby
Babe
Baby
I’m a smart man
But I’m dumb for you

[@rays5163]

[@jonimoroni7475]

His voice is evolving wonderfully.

[@Jack-qh8gt]

Have a listen to their stuff from 2012

[@chongpooka2769]

Kinda like a ⭕️

[@sebg2086]

Hea talking

[@emmaaudsley1045]

​@Jack-qh8gt I was about to mention the same. When I first heard Samaritans they utterly hooked me. This has a feel from that album.

[@OmarCruz-rx9nv]

Crazy how good the production sounds

[@mankasmodera1211]

Nigel Goodrich

[@pandawasthere]

Nigel, Kenny and Bowen is a team that can’t miss

[@chillydavis2117]

That, sir, is Nigel Godrich along with Kenny Beats and guitarist Mark Bowen

[@ryanzachar1360]

Hears semi hifi ome time. There's literally way better

[@pandawasthere]

@@ryanzachar1360 Calm down there Surround Sound Sally 🤣🤣🤣

[@BristolBerg]

"If I choke out the sun, if I blister the hum, will you breathe"
poetic rage

[@Lyndanet]

Joe can scream it for me

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

Roy immediately stood out for me. What a cathartic song.

[@amarantabuendia80]

You can't be a real rock band until you have a baby baby baby chorus song.

[@N00DL3QU33N]

OH MY GOD. JOE'S VOICE IS INCREDIBLE IN THIS

[@mattbarker9024]

Today is a good day! Love to all Idlers! 🎉

[@svobodasimon1185]

Then listent to à legendary englush band New Model Army they have an album and great song with this title: today is a good day. And ALL their albums are amazing

[@4IndieForever]

Joe's got such a recognizable cool as fuck voice! The band got such a recognizable cool as fuck sound/style! Let's fucking go!

[@romainoria9330]

Fuck yeah!

[@pavioli5501]

BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM

[@ludovicapugliese6155]

In Crawler Idles gave melody to the harshness of previous albums, in Tangk they took the melody of the first EP Welcome and transformed it into controlled aggressiveness

[@catdogmom3467]

This song has been on repeat for hours and will be for awhile longer.

[@raeganlovesmusic]

me and my dad have been listening to your music since I was little (im a teenager now). ever since you started making music. we bonded over your songs, especially joy as an act of resistance. we were some of your first fans, he loves listening to newly emerging music and helping them gain popularity. this new album is absolutely amazing and i am listening to it on repeat, this is my favorite song from it. Roy was my granddads name too, so it brings back memories of him (he passed away 2020). thank you for creating phenomenal music and hopefully continuing to. it surprised me when i first heard this album, as its not as shouty shouty idles as im used to, but it suits you. galstonbury 2019 we went to see you and was one of the best live music ive seen (even though i struggled to stay awake!)

[@jamesonomalley4269]

Im so glad this band when i did they helped me release my internal struggles out with bliss and loud singing

[@WowJustWow37]

Dude! Same!!! And you have my dad’s name which makes you extra awesome!!

[@MrMisuma]

It’s incredible how they keep evolving and throwing gold nuggets in our direction.

[@mattk3694]

This has a ghostly classic feel. Dig it!

[@HerbalTeabag]

Joe's singing sounds so good!!

[@jamesgeary8592]

This song is incredible.

[@linn_iker]

Man, I only knew a couple of songs by this band, but for some reason RUclips and Spotify kept suggesting new ones. But THIS song touched me in a different way. I love the whole album.

[@beanie1089]

This arrangement is awesome!

[@marcusroot168]

That chorus break sends me to my knees. Goddamn its sublime.

[@raginhomosapien]

baby baby baby

[@ashleypg1708]

Favorite song on the album. Damn. 🖤

Album of the year!

[@kccarrillo4793]

Love the slow burn buildup of this song. When those drums and twangy guitar are introduced. Whew!

[@francoisjoly7696]

I admire bands that can reinvent themselves constantly without losing themselves. Thanks dudes :)

[@jsebastianoz]

I don't know if they have been listening to South American folk music, that percussion feels andean af. Love It.

Guitar has a great sweeping section ! Love the hollowed out drums. What effect is that at the end?

[@DruBurke]

❤❤❤

[@nicolegrandjean1676]

I love it when he yells and grunts like an animal in their heavier stuff but his actual singing voice is gorgeous. Joe Talbot is a very special and talented man.

[@chillydavis2117]

I swear Nigel Godrich could turn water into wine.

[@cayne8793]

[@ShipWreck-tq1hl]

Sad anyone sitting around with nothing to do would even have a negative point on an artist work. While you sit there being a judgment filled bottle, artist are actually doing SOMETHING!
