Took a couple of spins, but this song finally made it straight to my head, and doesn't wanna go away anymore it seems... EP is very quiet, peaceful, but sounds amazing! Please bring them in Europe one of these days...
Birds, You never cease to amaze me. I fall more and more in love with this band every time I hear Kenny's voice. Can't wait for your Sydney shows in December.
Read Alan Strom's comments, he knows what he's talking about. Have a long listen to every song by Melbourne band called AUTOHAZE, they are a trillion times better than BOTokyo. Did commercial radio play their quality music every 10 minutes, no they didn't. Commercial radio didn't play THE CASANOVAS, who in my opinion are one of the best Rock bands of all time. Back in the 80's, the music director at MMM radio, ran and hid behind a pot plant when THE LIME SPIDERS went into the radio station to promote their latest album. Of course they didn't play it. THE LIME SPIDERS are 500 trillion times better than the mediocre manufactured and contrived emo lyrics, pulling at the heart strings of people who can relate. Have a listen to THE SUNNYBOYS or MACHINATIONS or V SPY V SPY or THE VENETIANS or THE EUROGLIDERS. These are just a few examples that crossed my encyclopaedic mind. The point is, that compared to these artists, and hundreds, no thousands of other class acts, the BOTokyo are rubbish, I despise them . Now, being down the front at The San Miguel at Cammeray in 1982 was very exciting and thrilling because at any second Grace and Bernie would be on stage with the Mighty EUROGLIDERS, playing top quality music. There used to be hundreds of LIVE venues and hundreds of quality bands, now most of the venues are closed and there aren't many quality bands to play in them. Recently I saw THE GANG of FOUR at THE MANNING BAR and RADIO BIRDMAN at THE FACTORY THEATRE. The Hopetoun and Excelsior are gone. I remember going to The Trade Union Club to see The Hoodoo Gurus in 1984. Fans of the horrible BOTokyo weren't even born. I'm very passionate about quality music, that's why I have an extremely low opinion of BOTokyo
have searched for this for months. am a fellow aussie and love my aussie bands bands. never heard of the guys b4 now but after listening to the EP can say i am hooked thanx guys big time. yhis track is awesome to the max.........

They deserve to be absolutely bigger. Imagine Dragons is just a piece of shit, but Ian has an amazing voice and is very talented. Look at his job with Karnivool, his true masterpiece; it’s absolutely beautiful
The first time I listened to this, I thought it was a bit uninspired compared to BOT's earlier work. Three hours later the chorus had not left my head and now I can't stop listening to it. So I guess what I'm saying is that yeah, this works for me!
This is my first comment on RUclips and i lovee this song and im glad to see im from Australia,Perth also and i know someone who is their drummers cousin which is awesome :)
To me this EP is one of those ones where the more you listen to it it the gets better. I relate these songs to that of Florence and the Machine's most recent album. When i first heard that i was so disappointed because it was so different to their first album, but then i put it on repeat whilst studying and fell in love with almost every song. I'm already a huge fan of this one. PS. Lot better if listen to quite loudly
Gutted we couldn't make the forum the other night. heard it was a smashing event! catchy as song fellas. Hope we can share the stage with you very soon!!!
for all the negative comments we put them in this fire, this fire, this fire,we lit it ,this fire this fire, this fire,we lit it all burn.great song guy's keep them rolling.
The song is about letting out all your anger. If you can make peace with society then you can move on instead of engulfing your enemies in fire. Fire/anger brings chaos.
So you can tell how an album is going to sound from one song can you? Check out the other songs on the EP, and be glad they put it out for the wait for next album.
THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST BANDS I HAVE EVER GIVEN A LISTEN TO. PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. THEY ARE SO WORTH IT. FROM PERTH AUSTRALIA...THE BIRDS OF TOKYO
This song reminds me of my hometown and where I live, how mining and greed has completely left it looking like the moon on earth through the past smelting process, not to mention global environmental/health issues. This doesn't include the amount of family alcoholism/drug addictions that the "big bread winning" mentality has created. Just like Stompin' Tom sings, "Sudbury Saturday Night.." I don't laugh, I lived it. I totally feel this song. It's a great song.

This clip reminds me of a tool video clip and people say the band Karnivool sound like the band tool, both birds of Tokyo and Karnivool have the same lead singer???
@skoottar This is a great track. And even if I didn't think so, (Which I do with some BOT tracks.) I wouldn't tell Mr. to quit one of his passions., ya dig?
I absolutely love both bands. I prefer the lyrical content of Birds for example if this ship sinks is incredible for lyrics and the song itself is one of my all time favorites. Karnivool have better 'live' songs as they are more energetic and I think they demonstrate Ian's vocals better. Between the 2 it's a touch choice and I can't really pick which one I prefer.
Why isn’t this band as big as Killers, Muse, Imagine Dragons etc? Great great band. Hope to see them live one day
Brilliant song , brilliant band nothing more needs to be said.
This song should be played in all US cities right about now! A lot of depth.
This is my favourite Birds of Tokyo song, I love it, good gee up song.
His voice is perfect yet again.
The lyrics of this song remind me of my hometown of Sudbury, Ontario in Canada. Makes me wanna cry how that town will never be enough (mining).
Just Stumbled across birds of tokyo ,great band

Birds of Tokyo deserves to be as big as Imagine Dragons.

Better song when you dont watch the video. Looking forward to March 2013!
@Lindsey Ann I might be wrong but didn't they get a break with this song and plans? Just wondering
This song reminds me of my hometown and where I live, how mining and greed has completely left it looking like the moon on earth through the past smelting process, not to mention global environmental/health issues. This doesn't include the amount of family alcoholism/drug addictions that the "big bread winning" mentality has created. Just like Stompin' Tom sings, "Sudbury Saturday Night.."

Wow
yea
i like this fire but thanks to your comment, i've given murmurs a listen and it's awesome!
Birds of Tokyo status: Still awesome.
It is good song for me, well it very original not as all songs about love, brake ups and stuff consisted with love.
side project of whom? i would like to hear their music.
YEAH RIGHT
reminds me of silversun pickups
It is kinda repetitive but it gives like a sense of hope, makes you wanna stand up for something.
This clip reminds me of a tool video clip and people say the band Karnivool sound like the band tool, both birds of Tokyo and Karnivool have the same lead singer???
some parts of the song reminds me of 'wait' by M83
this song came out before that song
It is a repetitive song, looking forward to hearing the others...
It is catchy though!! Having it stuck in my head all day!!
@skoottar This is a great track. And even if I didn't think so, (Which I do with some BOT tracks.) I wouldn't tell Mr. to quit one of his passions., ya dig?
why isn't this song on spotify??
it is on spotify really late
fuckn love this song
I absolutely love both bands. I prefer the lyrical content of Birds for example if this ship sinks is incredible for lyrics and the song itself is one of my all time favorites. Karnivool have better 'live' songs as they are more energetic and I think they demonstrate Ian's vocals better. Between the 2 it's a touch choice and I can't really pick which one I prefer.
A spider, a spider, a spider we running
