LC!

This is fantastic!!

Oh wow. This is the best way to start a working day ever. Amazing. The strings are awesome.

Sounds great!
I really like the lyrics; really REALLY looking forward to the new album (whether this is on it or not.)
Thanks guys!

Why isn’t it working for me? I’m starting to get paranoid…

Great song guys and gals – looking forward to playing it over and over – still laughing at the Record Box Project video! Too funny — one thing – try Porthcawl instead of Barry Island next time – Rest Bay – beautiful.x

This is quite utterly brilliant, will surely become one of my favourite LC! songs even though I adored the twee stuff from Hold on Now Youngster… I was trying to figure out how the hell Jamie Stewart could fit on an LC! album but I totally see it now. Reminds me of Why? too, except with strings – I don’t think I could have hoped for anything better! Thankyou so much!!

just cause you’re allowed to drink outside and have had nice weather all summer. stop rubbing it in okay? cunts.
with love,
from scotland, the land of rain and £40 on the spot fines for drinking outside xxxx

Thank you that was beautiful, and i cant wait for the new album!

This is amazing.

Absolutely fuckin fantastic

Ah, thanks, I was just about to e-mail and ask for lyrics.

The song is stunning. Really, properly incredible. I can’t stop listening to it. Thank you.

The Tory line makes me think of Coupling, but there’s probably no relation

This is gorgeous. It’s the first thing I’ve heard all day and nearly cried halfway through. Cannot wait for the new album, you’ve done it again, you brilliant bastards.

Harriet!!!!!!!! The strings are so beautiful. awesome. thank you.

Thank you ever so much. The lyrics are wonderful. I can not wait for more. Thank you again.

This is beautiful.

LOVE THIS. Love the direction you guys are taking, sounds great! Can’t wait for the new album.

So so so so so so good. It made unistuff shopping in the likes of Asda and Matalan much more tolerable.

Thank you Los Campesinos! for making my life a million times better. as if the day couldnt get any better that HEALTH released Get Color today, then I stumbled upon this. This is great I love the sound and I love you all!

A thousand years no getting rid of me
A thousand years in perfect symmetry.

That has to be the most beautiful set of lines ever written.

you made me shriek in delight

Thank you so much… It was great. Lovely, lovely song.

Stunning is definetely the best word to describe this. I had chills watching this. Morbid, happy, hopeful, regardless the mood of the song, you manage to make everything beautiful..I would have to say that this is undoubtedly your most emotional song..I really can’t wait for the enw record. Please, continue to astonish me.

thank you thank you thank you

LC! this song fucking rules.
love,
radmike

is this gonna be on LP3 Big G?

Did you have to be mean to us Tories? : (

Good lyrics.

I feel like I’m stood with my nose pressed up against the window of a great party that I was invited to but nobody can hear me knocking on the door for the music. Why won’t it let me download the track? I’ve tried watching the video but had to give up because my tinternet is slow and it was constantly buffering. Help! How can I hear this track?

Loved You Guys in Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Cleveland.
This song is brilliant.

I’m writing this while my incredibly slow internet tries to download the song. The bit that I’ve managed to listen to which isn’t even a minute long is amazing. Gorgeous guitar, beautiful strings, all accompanied by Gareth’s amazing voice. Read through the lyrics and they held their own even without music behind them. Really, really incredible song. Thank you LC! for the download and preview and thank you for making such beautiful music. Keep being your wonderful selves

oh my god, this is so lush and gorgeous and so, so sad. the lyrics are brilliant, i keep trying to select bits to quote at people but i can’t possbly choose. i don’t understand how you are so good at doing wonderful things that bring me joy even though they are sometimes so very sad, but i’m so glad for it, please keep it up & come back to the states soon! i’ve seen you in NYC twice now and honestly i think i’ll try to if i can every time you swing by. <3

Wow, this is absolutely stunning, can’t wait for the new album and SWN. When the new Girls 7″ (finally) arrived this morning I thought the day couldn’t get much better… how wrong I was…

Oh my, I do like this.

It sounds so differnt from any other Los Campesinos! song but at the same time I would not mistake it for being anyone else. I feel like the lyrics are a step up from everything else you have done and the song is just beautiful. I really like it a lot guys.

This is absolutely stunningly beautiful. I know everyone has already said this but I thought I’d just let you know again.
You have grown so much in the past three years, positively so (even though I loved you from the very beginning). I might actually die of happiness when the new album comes out.

You guys are the best. I love you.

Well if the new album is going to be anything like this, I am pumped! It’s not as sunny as LC!’s other stuff but I really like the change.

brilliant.

beyond amazing. seriously, you’ve outdone yourselves. this is perfect.

Amazing. I really can’t wait for the album.

am i loser for sort of tearing up at this? i still stand by it. lovely song. absolutely lovely. it sounds more grown up for you guys, but you’re still the best band ever because of it.

This is great, thank you very much. heart the dynamics, the density of the arrangement, the rhythms of yr vocals. Is this by any chance that day at the beach you blogged about a few months back? did you know you were going to make it the video? And is there no experience that can’t be made sober with good editing and the right soundtrack?

Anyway, when the leaves start to change, I will drive around with this and a sweater on. thx again

beautiful song- one of my new favorites, i think =]

sorry for sounding stupid, but how do you download the song? it wont seem to work for me… D:

Gareth, you fucking genius, (So is the rest of the band)

I had to post for the second time today. The song is up on the LC! myspace if people are having trouble listening to it through buffering video or whatever. I must have heard it at least 10 times today. This better be on the new LP…it’s breathtaking the first to tenth times.

hi guys

another great tune – well done – cant wait to see you all in Cov.
was that video shot at Barry Island ??

Chuck

This is what I will listen to on my walk home from school tomorrow. Perfect! Reminds me of Washington winters.

wow.

You’ve made my day yet once more. Thank you.

Props to harriet for the amazing strings

Really great, especially the lyrics. I like the narrative style.

Can anybody help? I’ve spent the best part of a day seeing ‘Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage’ rather than a download box. Does anybody have an idea why everyone else can download this track but me?

G, is this based on truth? Either way it’s one of the most beautiful songs you lot have made thus far. All your songs are amazing, but this one is really moving.

Painfully beautiful, impossibly perfect.
And I don`t say that very often.

This is beautiful! It reminds me of Why? too. I personally found this very touching. I have a friend who had an eating disorder and was at a clinic for a few months, earlier this year. She studied French too. She’s recently gotten well again (although still on medication). It’s hard to explain, but the first verse sums up everything incredibly well!
This is a really special song.
Thank you Los Campesinos!
Really looking forward to the tour. x

My dear Los Campesinos!,

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. You are growing by leaps and bounds as artists, and I await the new album with great anticipation. Yes, the previous albums, EPs, etc. will always hold a special place, but you’re not looking back, for which I applaud you. Cheers.

My dreams are filled with your new album. After listening to this wonderful, fantastic, beautiful song yesterday, I had a dream last night about killing a man to get the first copy of this album made. Then the police caught me and took my c.d. and I cried and then they played Jimi Hendrix’ version of the American National Anthem over and over until I went insane.

So, moral of the story, wanting the album SOON.

Clay

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC!!!

Hi, still no luck – is this track still available? Does anyone have a clue as to why I can’t download it?

Try right-click, “Save Link As…”

Good luck!

Thanks, got it at last – I was just being dumb, obviously!! Wonderful wonderful stuff, evocative and atmospheric. Like the best short stories, it sits inside you for a minute after it ends and you can smell it fading away – dusty copper and flaking paint in saline air.

This is stunning.

Thanks x

I love this song. I’ve listened to it so many times already. It gives me the chills that’s how good it is.

i am glad to say that it’s got that LC! quality of getting better with every listen, despite the fact it already started out as awesome.

man…this song is sad and sweet, i cant stop listening to it!!!…,well i hope the new album is released soon!

I just got a sad, fuzzy feeling inside. Amazing.

That’s beautiful, I love it, so excited for your new album.

incredible song so pleased to have something new to obsess over.

but… is it me or does the video just really seem not to go with the song. just a thought. class song

Beautiful.

I agree that that felt like a party that I wasn’t invited to. At the same time, it feels like a moment too precious to invade.

I thought I loved you guys, but then you swept me off my feet when Gareth walked on stage drinking from a two-liter coke bottle and Aleks sang her heart out even though she was sick. Now this.

Thank you from the bottom, top, and septum of my heart.

Awesome, can’t stop listening!

It definitely speaks to me.
I play it everyday now, it just gets stuck in my head. People go on about the change of direction with the band but i love everything you’ve done and everything you’re doing! Keep it up :)

I’ve been listening to this two days straight now. It’s beyond words.

Just five days after this comes out and suddenly it’s played on Spanish radio. I only just came into the room and heard “nueva cancion de Los Campesinos!, The Sea Is A Good Place To Think of the Future”, strings start, internet dies… Lame.

But yeah, you’re hot news on Spanish radio.

Seriously, fuck ME, that’s amazing

So what do I do w/ a 12 sec MP3 audio file? I am not able to d/l it fully. What gives?

More blogging from Ellen please.

Almost forgot! It’s healing, like “the record is about to end” song or Blur’s “tender”! Keep it. Have nice days over and over!

is anyone from the LC! gang going to Pavement in NYC?

I AM!
Sorry. I am. The first show on the 22nd. Hopeful for a Toronto announcement as well. Seems likely.
SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED!

Sounds A LOT like Modest Mouse, but still a great song. Love it.

I like this song way. Sounds a lot like Fevers and Mirrors era Bright Eyes, and I would love to hear more of that. Shame CO disowns his younger persona. It’s a great blend of sounds. Nice to hear you guys strip things down and get somber. More, and come to Sf. Please and thank you.

Wow… simply wow! I really love this song; but, I haven’t really come across a LC! song that I don’t love.

this has been in my head foreva
so goooood
when does the new album come out!?

I had never heard of Los Campesinos! before…This was posted on a blog I occasionally follow. Sadly not wild about the video, but the song BLEW ME AWAY! I must have listened to it ten times in a row by now. Sheer epic awesomeness. Like seriously, one of the most amazing pieces of music I’ve heard recently

you guys still got and never lose it. Thank god

Beautiful. Just beautiful. “And all you can hear is the sounds of your own heart…”

how come you always get to speak MY mind, whether i’m happy or thoughtful? geniuses. hope you’ll come back to rome even though there were like twelve of us at your last show. lots of love.

I have got to say this is the best song i’ve ever heard, i thought that from “Hold on now youngster” it couldn’t get any better… I am amazed, keep it up, cheers!
