Used to listen to this back in highschool when on break lifeguarding over the summer. Sunny skies, goofy coworkers, playing pokemon Yellow on my 3DS XL, the vibes were immaculate.
*LYRICS* Take, take from the ones who love you, ooh Leave, leave with the ones who don't, ooh Lie, lie to the ones who like you Lay, lay with the ones who won't [Chorus] When lightning strikes I will be on my bike I won't be stuck inside I will be taking flight [Verse 2] They, they are the ones who love you, ooh We, we are the ones who don't, ooh Hang up on the ones who need you, ooh Watch out for the ones who won't [Chorus] When lightning strikes I'll be on my bike I won't be stuck inside I will be taking flight And when the wheels come off I'll be an astronaut I will be lost in space I will be skipping rocks [Bridge] When you live on an island Nothing ever falls in place The winters are violent And you can't ever feel your face You can't fucking feel your face [Chorus] And when lightning strikes I'll be on my bike I won't be stuck inside I will be taking flight And when the wheels come off I'll be an astronaut I will be lost in space I'll be on Lippincott [Outro] Ooh Take...
This is easily one of their best songs in their entire catalogue. I really _liked_ Alvvays when I first heard them (Archie, Next of Kin etc.) but I *loved* them after I heard this song. Masterpiece. ❤️
Alvvays are like your high school friends who formed a band and then created great music after focusing the talents. The strong writing and pleasant vocals create pleasant melodies, yet there is also just enough sprinkling of dark lyrics to let you know that they experience and explore the same hardships we are all trying to navigate through.
If this band had come around in the 90's they'd have been big. This record is still in my top 3 of the 10's and it's not certain it's not in the top 3 of the 21st century so far.
While I respectfully disagree I absolutely love this song and completely why you'd rank it #1. It's dark and unlike any of their other songs and yet so beautiful. For a band that gets compared to 'sunshine breaking through clouds' they can be brutally sarcastic and bitter.
I can imagine when I am 30 years old, with what nostalgia I will listen to these songs. It's a pity that I probably will never be able to get to the performance.
After discovering this band this week, i listened to every album and release and this song, top 3 by far.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥2:50 is just soooo yummy. Also, I'm not sure what changed but i think their sound esthetic sounds much better onn this album than anything made since, idk why...
Welcome to the obsession, there's no turning back. I love the sound of the first album too (some credit to Chad van G - and it was recorded here in Calgary where I live, which blows my mind), and it's slightly rough, garage-sound. Works so well with those songs. But after many, MANY listenings I feel Antisocialtes and Blue Rev are real (and necessary) steps forward. I love the totality of the 3 albums' sounds more than any other band's. Which, believe me, is shocking for someone in their 60s.

*LYRICS*
Take, take from the ones who love you, ooh
Leave, leave with the ones who don't, ooh
Lie, lie to the ones who like you
Lay, lay with the ones who won't
[Chorus]
When lightning strikes
I will be on my bike
I won't be stuck inside
I will be taking flight
[Verse 2]
They, they are the ones who love you, ooh
We, we are the ones who don't, ooh
Hang up on the ones who need you, ooh
Watch out for the ones who won't
[Chorus]
When lightning strikes
I'll be on my bike
I won't be stuck inside
I will be taking flight
And when the wheels come off
I'll be an astronaut
I will be lost in space
I will be skipping rocks
[Bridge]
When you live on an island
Nothing ever falls in place
The winters are violent
And you can't ever feel your face
You can't fucking feel your face
[Chorus]
And when lightning strikes
I'll be on my bike
I won't be stuck inside
I will be taking flight
And when the wheels come off
I'll be an astronaut
I will be lost in space
I'll be on Lippincott
[Outro]
Ooh
Take...
“I’ll be on my burn” “I will be taking form”
This song _really_ speaks to my cavalier attitude towards cycling in unfavorable conditions.
ok
lol
This is easily one of their best songs in their entire catalogue. I really _liked_ Alvvays when I first heard them (Archie, Next of Kin etc.) but I *loved* them after I heard this song. Masterpiece. ❤️
what a hauntingly lovely song.
Alvvays are like your high school friends who formed a band and then created great music after focusing the talents.

You put down in words what it had been in my mind but yet didn't quite see it clearly. Such an underestimated comment! 😊
I heard this live in June. I listen sometimes when I need to remember that there are good things in the world-Molly's voice. What a song
If this band had come around in the 90's they'd have been big. This record is still in my top 3 of the 10's and it's not certain it's not in the top 3 of the 21st century so far.
what's your top 3 of the 21st century i'm curious
Top 3 please
As big as slowdive probably... good anyhow
@@LucyLoulovesyou Slowdive are much bigger nowadays
There was a band in the 90s that were a lot like them. They were called The Cranberries.
probably their best song
While I respectfully disagree I absolutely love this song and completely why you'd rank it #1. It's dark and unlike any of their other songs and yet so beautiful. For a band that gets compared to 'sunshine breaking through clouds' they can be brutally sarcastic and bitter.
forever engraved
Just extraordinary. The band, the voice, the words...the planet needs a great band. Voila!
I can imagine when I am 30 years old, with what nostalgia I will listen to these songs. It's a pity that I probably will never be able to get to the performance.
I saw them open for The Decemberists. They fucking killed it. Great band, so worth it to see them live.
1 year later...
How’s your nostalgia doing now?
Had it kicked in yet?
What’s your nostalgia 1-10
Yep
I'm 30 now.. still loving it

I feel...heartily vivacious,.. and I know shall hit the space... Long live to a thousand Earth years... And I believe it....
Am I the only one who finds this song extremely sad?
