“No one was lonely, they just couldn’t get hold of anybody” This line is incredible.

This song is very successful in evoking a very specific atmosphere, which is somewhat illustrated by the accompanying video, especially the senses of "descending" and "ascending". The song itself is unique, but when I finally paid close attention to the video, that's when I really noticed the craft involved.

I am employed ( I have the marks to prove it ... ), but not as a song critic, and I have never even considered musical criticism as a vocation. Nevertheless, aren't we all critical of our environment?

Shame. One's instincts are usually right.

Too right.

Maccabees are one of the best bands ever formed. The depth of their rawness and ecstasy is genius. Miss you guys so much.

Ooh, I've missed you, Maccabees. Massive smile on my face right now. I love this, I cannot stop listening to it, over and over. Excellent new track and really great video to match too! The Maccabees have arrived 2015!!!

Their farewell gig was amazing, privileged to have caught them in their final gig!

Fantastic song........and great to see Elephant & Castle starring in a video. :)

Prob one of the best songs ive ever never heard

No one was crying They simply got a little something in their eye No one was lonely They just could not get hold of anybody Over the summer, a lot changed And they all changed to keep up with it Too complicated Too complex to talk to anybody Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) All this is sky light Forget that it's there but it's there, no doubt about it Take it for a walk, they come back And zoning, wondering why it took it Thousands of people Tight lines and ropes and weather stays the weekend Clouds and rain And no one cares, they got the marks to prove it Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) Rolling shadow, fallen arrow Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow) Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow)

A magnificent tune....one of their finest works!

Every new Maccabees song is my favorite ♥♥♥

Porque podría escuchar sus canciones todo el día, durante toda la semana y jamas me aburriría de escucharlos.... Son Geniales!

The Maccabees are back. This is one of their best.

This was their best album and it's a shame they didn't see the peak of their creativity through. They really touched on something different here.

Nunca decepcionan! Esta cancion es fantastica! No sabes cuanto me ha alegrado la noticia de su nuevo album! (:

I remember being lost in Elephant & Castle, coming from a far Country being in London for the first time with no one to contact or get help was a little bit hard but i really enjoyed every second i was in london, i remember seeing a lot of gentles with their suits and always wondered if they were happy, cuz they look like kind a robots, well here wont be enough to tell my history there but i can tell you all the feelings this song transmits reflect exactly how i felt when i was there ❤️. thank you maccabees.

Ive never heard or seen anything like this in my life omg this is amazing ♥♡

I live in Melbourne Australia now but Always love coming home!

Kick ass song!!! Also, the video sums up the frenzy of commuting in London perfectly! :)

The outstanding single of the year to date - PERIOD!

Very Echo & the Bunnymen in the 80 's in GB. With a touch of the Smiths. Have a lovely day Guys ! Hi from France.

wow one of the best uk bands of everytime

Finally a new song!!!! AHHHHH IM SO EXCITED

It's awesome to see Elephant and Castle actually been shown off. 😊😊 plus that Apocalypse Now reference right at the end is hilarious.

British Bands the leaders!!!😪🫣🥰🥰🥰😉

va a ser lo mejor del año, este disco

Song....and album of the year 2015.........

Still A great track

How can this video only have 1000 likes?!?!? They are so amazing!!

"And no one cares til they've got the marks to prove it" fact

Back to their old stuff mmmm

It's like, a combination of Colour in it and Wall of Arms, somehow powerful and young, plus that atmospheric feeling that Given to the Wild gave, a bit more mature sound. Dang it. This is good.

When the man is standing on the street underwater, he should be made to drop all of the things associated with work as if it is the stress of it. So that he can let the weight of his shoulders and being light enough to float back up.
