They had already drummed up a big following after the release of their early EPs and debut album, 's My Love is Cool which brought them to FUV for the first time too , with a reputation for exciting live shows. The four friends — singer, guitarist, keyboardist and lyricist Ellie Rowsell, guitarist Joff Oddie, bassist Theo Ellis, and drummer Joel Amey — and Arcade Fire producer Markus Dravs took their time recording the new album, partly due to lockdown which kept them in a Brussels studio far longer than expected.
The result, Wolf Alice's ambitious Blue Weekend , fluidly shifts between hard rockers, shoegaze, delicate folk, and soaring pop choruses, all buoyed by Ellie's words. And we did everything really haphazardly, but it was just about getting it working again, having a place to convene, getting ourselves into that atmosphere.
Why does everything need to mean something more? And I really feel proud of us and our team and stuff, because I think we found it quite emotionally taxing in many ways. MaxWasHere on December 31, Link. General Comment This music it's about Regine's mom called Alice who died in the year that were producing the album funeral. Regine never learned to drive, ok.
Her mother was very ill in the hospital, so, Regine needed to go to hospital urgently. Even without know drive, she took the family's car and was driving to the hospital. But in the midle of the way, her mother died in the hospital. I'm brazilian, er She was in the backseat of a car on her way to her mother's funeral. General Comment And in this music don't have the line "Oh, Norah! General Comment Kinda what wannabelle said. The line about learning to drive is learning to live with out this family member as she grew up and became more independant.
In this song, she misses the role that person played in her life, remembering fondly the passiveness of when that person influenced or played the role in her life. At the end, she realizes she must learn to live with out.
I totally agree with this. My dad died of cancer when I was 15 and I've always felt that this song was a good representation of how I feel about his death. General Comment I can't wait to see these guys at Coachella.
This song is really sad. I think everyone is right about the metaphors All I know is that her voice is beautiful. Memory This song is just I remember going to my grandma's funeral, my mother in the passenger's seat.
My aunt was driving, and I actually liked the peace in the backseat, because i didnt have to drive or speak and could easily drift off watching the landscape soar by. This song to me is that moment. Displaced and surreal. This reminds me so much of the long trips I go on with my parents. Especially the first time when we drived for the whole day.
It was a bad time for me but watching the scenery pass by while not having to think about anything was peaceful. I didn't have to do anything and was still pretty young.
I've grown a bit since then but not much, and looking back on it I think it's great to live a life where everything is new and wonderful.
It hasn't been too long since then and I've moved up to the front seat which is still peaceful, but it worries me when I grow up to actually drive. What type of person would I be by then? What life would I have?
For me this song extends from that early time in our lives when we are independent from out parents but still dependent on them and trying to figure life out.
It is about the death of the child in all of us as we grow up. Sasha Kristyana Agreed. I'm in 18 right now and living away from home and this song hits hard. Everyone keeps commenting on this being a sad song, and for sure it is, but I also find it to be filled with hope. I think that is why it is so powerful and always sticks out in my mind, it has that perfect balance of sad nostalgia and hopeful optimism about the future.
It makes you want to cry but you can't discern if the tears are those of sadness or pure joy. It makes me think of someone's second death. That is to say, not when their body dies and their mind is gone, but when time eventually wipes them from history and no one alive remembers their name.
Essentially quite the opposite of your thought. This album has the best First song and best last song. In fact the first song tunnels might be the best song I've ever heard at all. Well, this is the end of the playlist. I will say, after eleven years knowing this bands existence, I finally listened to this album. And from listening to this thing from front to back, and I'm so glad I did. This album is an absolute tour de force. I recently am not in contact with my girlfriend anymore, so I feel some connection to this album.
This song though, what a powerful closer. Give me a few listens and it may be a five. I have tried so many times to capture what I feel when hearing songs like this and it never seems to come out right. But my god, this is just implausibly perfect. I miss you, and wish so bad that you were here. You'd know what to do, what to say You've stood where I stand And with you gone, I find myself quickly walking the same road you did.
I don't know how I'm gonna make it. I'll see you someday. Here we are a year later. Wishing you the best in life. You're a human being; ride for what is good!
I'm listening to this album for the first time and the first song and this song were the only ones I liked. The other songs weren't bad at all and like my favorite album kid a, I need to listen to an album a couple of times to really like it.
Ok, now I love this album. This is actually probably my least favorite on the album, but fuck it, the whole album is amazing. Definitely not. It's tied with Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac as my favorite Radiohead album. Of all the albums that I've listened to, this is definitely one of the best closers I've ever heard. I've never heard a song sung with such raw emotion before til I heard this and I've been listening to this album for nearly10yrs.
Still makes my blood run cold. Those high notes give me chills in my soul. They're so primal and emotional.
This is my favorite song on this album, and definitely one of my favorite songs ever. No comparison intended though. My language teacher made us review this song and I nearly cried when reading the lyrics and listening to the song. The line "Alice died in the night" hits you like train everytime you listen to this song.
Probably just an individual thing. This might be the best song ever I just love love love Regine's voice, it's not about technical perfection, this is pure emotion Be it Happy, sad, aggresive or anything else Anyway it touches my soul!
I agree with you completely. I trying to listen this song everytime when I am moving and every time it's making me experience the greatest feeling in my life.
I am really think that it's the best song what I've heard in my short life. Sometimes I think that this feeling makes me want to live.
