lyrics are quite repetitive for them to be the greatest band of our generation, they are great instrumentally but with the strokes included in our generation i really dont think these guys put up much of a fight
I went to prison a few years ago (before I sorted my life out) and a bloke I became friends with, introduced me to catfish and the bottlemen. At the time I was in the worst type of depression ive ever experienced. Not because I was in prison, but because of who i'd lost due to going to prison. Anyway it may sound clich'e, But as a music lover and a guitarist it had been a long time since I'd fell in love with new music. This band genuinely lifted my moods and totally helped me get over my depression. Within a couple of days I was writing new music and jamming over catfish tracks...anyway, they're a really special band and even more special to me. #catfishandthebottlemen #cocoon #music #musicispower #depression #life #healing #PinealGland

Idk, he is such a inspiration. Such pure talent, no audio affects or fancy hair and make-up. You can see how genuine and unique Catfish and the Bottlemen are. I've been a fan for years now and hope to one day see them :3

This made me cry for about 20 minutes, God please let me meet you. I will forever wait for the day I get to tell you how much you and your music means to me. it's everything
The first time I was ever introduced to this band was my very first concert. I was seeing green day and catfish were headlining. They sang this song, 7 and another one but I can't remember. But I fell! Been hooked ever since.
oh my van ! crazy how he never fails to impress me, even after I've heard every version of this song. my goodness what a legend, not just van but all of them, they're all amazing, can't wait for their new music!!
Catfish and the Bottlemen are the best indie/rock n roll band in the present day. Literally name another band who compare. Courteeners dropped off after St Jude. Get that hot tub Van
So sad they've cancelled Spanish concerts. I've been waiting for them with all my loving. It's a shame... After watching this video I'm even more jealous of every one of you who gets to see them, and meet them.
I’ve loved this band for quite a while now, and with the CoronaVirus chaos going on and my world and graduation crumbling apart because of it, I’ve felt a bit lost and hopeless. I haven’t known what to do for weeks now and just tonight I was ready to cry it out again and repeat the whole cycle of thinking I’ll be alright, getting hit with something difficult again, trying to feel better, then failing and having to restart the whole cycle. So then I said “I know what’ll make ya feel better” to myself. Then I put this video on and instantly I was picked up off my feet. When Van said “rest on me, honey that’s alright,” it was a lyric that I always knew and sang along to but just now I really connected to it. Through thick and thin I’ve been able to rest on this band and let them pick me up when I hit rock bottom. It’s unlikely that they’ll see this comment, but I’d like to say thank you. Thank you for mending my broken heart countless of times, thank you for doing that to others as well, and most especially thank you for just being yourselves and being as happy as you can be.
the way his voice just does that thing (you know the thing) so easily and how he sounds so perfect doing it?? im in love
sAME GIRL
you said it best
We all know what thing you mean tho omg
That proper raspy thing he does? Yeah?
One Year Stand yesss the THING
I love how rough his voice sounds.. van is just amazing
my son
Madeleine Murphy your dumb how tf is his voice rough
"i’d rather go blind than let you down"
simple beautiful words
CATB are the reason why I am not passing my exams

YAS GIRL

Artemis Caulfield honestly same
My heart melts every time 😭😭💙
Guys, you need to do an unplugged version of The Balcony!
Steven Hardstone PLEASE
YESSSS
best band of our generation & those lyrics make me feel like real life if that makes any sense. legends
+dani b Maybe a bit too far to say they're the greatest band of our generation. At the moment anyway...
+James Patterson for me atleast lol
+dani b don't be ridiculous
+dani b The Strokes are the best band of our generation.
lyrics are quite repetitive for them to be the greatest band of our generation, they are great instrumentally but with the strokes included in our generation i really dont think these guys put up much of a fight
Van is one of the artists that I will be listening to when I'm 30, Such a mature voice for such a young person. Beautiful
wait that shirt isn't torn or black. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?!?!?!
Honestly, just, cool as fuck really. Lads got so much talent I strive to be just as good! Van is a legend!

Hope things are better now man
I thought you were banging in goals every week for the reds not in prison?
Next album pls I NEED MORE
am i too old at 46 to love this band? saw them at Coventry last night with my son.
ABSOLOUTELY NOT
Matt Lee You are never too old for anything. Especially when it comes down to music. ❤
Matt Lee haha no way so did i at Coventry Rico! first proper gig I've been to and it was Amazing
Matt Lee hahahah no way, I was at that gig and remember seeing an older man with his son, maybe it was you
[Verse 1]
I fell straight into your arms
Like a drunk who's been on it
All morning and the sun's up
And my head's fucked
And immediately, I grab you
You go all red like the first time
I love it when you do that
God, I love it when you do that
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when we swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends, all hated it
[Chorus]
But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind than let you down
[Verse 2]
I cocoon 'round your shoulders
When you're half-cut and you're frozen
And you've got that visible breathing
You're depending on me again
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when we swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends, all hated it
[Chorus]
But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind than let you down
But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind than let you down
[Bridge]
And if you wanna shut down and pose as positive and
Hide smoking from relatives and
Rest on me, honey, that's alright
And if you wanna act more drunk than usual
To help you get away with more then
Rest on me, honey, that's alright
Honey, that's alright
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) (I cocoon 'round your shoulders
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) When you’re half-cut and you’re half-cut)
[Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)Fuck it if they talk
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Fuck it if they try and get to us
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)'Cause I'd rather go blind than let you down
[Outro]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) I remember when we swapped names and I thought maybe
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) You'd stay and try and out-drink me
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Your friends, all hated it

God I love it when you do that
van's voice is actually so beautiful 😍

He is super fine.
1 mic 1 take version of hourglass please!
Lucas Kruiniger I AGREE 1,975%
I’d only wind up in the hospital wouldn’t I?
even if you don't find Van attractive... you find Van attractive.
Jesus Van can u maybe pop a few more buttons
why doesn't this have a million views?? it's perfect
Absolutely fucking flawless
I needed this in my life. Thank You.
These guys are such a genuine and talented band!
I just discovered this guy a couple hours ago,why haven't I found him sooner?
is it possible to love a band so much, u think about them all tje time and u have to listen to their music ever minute...its like a drug☗
this just reminds me of middle school ✨
i was 14, lovely memories !!
love catfish & the bottlemen so much 🤍🤍
THE LEVEL OF MY POST CONCERT DEPRESSION IS HIGH
Idk, he is such a inspiration. Such pure talent, no audio affects or fancy hair and make-up. You can see how genuine and unique Catfish and the Bottlemen are. I've been a fan for years now and hope to one day see them :3
i met the whole band at leeds fest but i was terrified and just stood there shaking and smiling and there is nothing i regret more
Were they nice ?
+Hayley Longton *yolotmcatb* (you only live once to meet catfish and the bottlemen)
they were so so sweet
I met them too, and got a picture with Van at Leeds fest! Best day of my life!
+Callum Stoyles other people were getting photos but I was too flustered to ask at the time hahah
I need an acoustic version of The Balcony right now!!
i love him… miss all this sm
and if you aren't vaguely attracted to van, you're crazy
What if your a guy lol
+L1ttle Legends you'd still be attracted to him
It's a deficiency if you don't wanna have him in your bed
+Frances O'Sullivan exactly😂
sometimes it freaks me out that he kinda resembles alexa chung but ya he's still attractive to me
Lyrics:
I fell straight
