You are a bit late to the game but atleast you made it eventually.. also these guys no longer tour together because they split up, so sadly you won't be getting any new music by them anytime soon..

Yeah it breaks my heart too. Pure truth. The ever and the more. Again and again.
So soon we, so soon we So soon we're too old to carry And we knew it, and we knew it And we knew we only had a little while In the middle, in the middle In the middle just keep ticking over Before you know it, before you know it Before you know it parent's a parent To have it all, to have it all To have it all and still want more One thing's for sure, one thing's for sure One thing's for sure we're all getting older So we take a lover, so we take a lover So we take a lover waiting in the corner And before you know it, before you know it, Before you know it, pushing up the daisies And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know it's the ever and the more And again and again and again we go In the end, In the end In the end nothing comes easy So you find a way, so you find a way So you find a way to take a little with you For the ones you love, for the ones you love For the ones you love there's if they need too Pharaoh, pharaoh Pharaoh they're not coming with you. And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know it's the ever and the more And again and again and again So soon we, so soon we So soon we're too old to carry And we knew it, and we knew it Abd we knew we only had a little while In the middle, in the middle In the middle just keep ticking over Before you know it, before you know it Before you know it parent's a parent And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know it's the ever and the more And again and again and again

Fabricio Herrera so I’m doing a show at the moment and this is our opening number. I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve heard this song and until I saw your comment I legit thought this song was in gibberish.

I don't know what it is, but these guys are amazing! The way they harmonise, the lead singers vocals are simply amazing. They could not be compared to another band on this planet. They do deserve more recognition, such a underated band!

Top Gear season 19 preview brought me here. Always rerunning old tTop Gear…Hidden music gem..and brilliant (might be even best ever) season.
Pelican = best song of the year. Given to the Wild = best album of the year. The Maccabees are just fantastic.
Saw them live at the leadmill Sheffield around 2004 pretty flipping excellent. Still got the badges 😊
This is just one of those bands that you wish you was in, and wish you'd made those songs, absolutely quality.
Gonna miss you so much. 💔 Thanks for the amazing music.

I think it's about passing your experience on to your kids, not necessarily rebirth. everyone goes through these experiences and fears, selling yourself short or dying without accomplishing much.
Simply incredible. One of the best songs I've ever heard.
Literally one of the best videos I've seen, so simple but has a strong message! It's awesome :)
I'm realizing that when I went to London Southbank district met Orlando Weeks instead talking each other... I should tell him how Pelican was amazing song.
We were lucky enough to support The Maccabees when they came to Melbourne recently. Lets do it again some time hey :)
modern classic, reminds me of 80s imagery meets something very new and quite exciting. Like this band, glad they have the fanbase to keep them coming back.
This is a great band, all their songs are very good. Greetings from Mexico City.
this song puts me in such a good mood. actually cant wait to see them live again

First time I heard this I wasn't terribly impressed. Then Stuart Maconie on radio 6 said you have to turn it up really loud and god bless him, I did. And it's a fucking ace song.

I can't understand how some people can listen to this song without the urge to get up and dance!
I seen this song and video on MTV rocks recently. Great video and love the song, definitely have to listen to your albums now.
As an aspiring musician, I have to say I really love your uploads. Always great!
Didn't think The Maccabees could become better, this video has proved that they can.
Can't wait to see these guys supporting The Black Keys next month! What a song..
Brilliant video for a brilliant song
it is the inevitability of the passing of time and how we can never live up to the dreams we had.... melancholy wonder.
These guys will get a hit with over 100,000,000 views. I assure you guys.
Amazing....and so addictive.
this song is about life and death.. it shows us life and death from a different perspective many of us are not familiar with.
I fell in love with these guys after seeing them open for Florence and the Machine at the Nikon Theater
this song is awesome. This video is awesome. They work in harmony.
Awesome video. Awesome band.
Still blows my wig off in 2024.. absolute timeless belter
such a hook to this song.. ..Love it!!!!!!!!
The album is freaking amazing!
Absolutely amazing! Pushes me to keep making music. Keep doing what your doing. 🖖💖
on the radio it sounds even better ^_^
i think when producing this, they really wanted the ethos to be a festival anthem. I don't think they failed if so. There isn't a band out there who can finish their songs in a more enthralling way than Maccabees!!!
...and again and again and again and again we go ;)
brilliant video!! loved it
Absolutely great, love it. Didn't know them. Found 'em accidently. 😀
Watched them open for Florence and The Machine last night at the Hollywood Bowl they were insane , really enjoyed there music all night . I wish they had played longer .
I came here because I love the Maccabees.
FINALLYYYY they made it to the big lights! love them, have for like 5 years now! woooo
one of the best videos- everyone should watch the "in the making" its unbelievable!

Saw you in Tampa last night; was so impressed, my friends and I ran out and bought merch! Wish I could figure out what the first song you sang was, that was my favorite!
@felix- you legend! Big fan and would love you to come on cricket tour with us! Quick Question... Is 'In the middle, in the middle In the middle just keep ticking over' A reference to rotating strike and building a partnership? If it is, its fantastic wordsmithmanship H
What a fantastic way to star 2012 with the new Maccabees album :D
Great tune!!
Saw them opening for the black keys yesterday!
YAY! can't wait for opener!!!
really cool video, the ending was very humbling.
Great opening for The Black Keys in Lisbon! I love this song!
And we go back to where we came from Like those before and those to come And know its the ever and the more And again and again and again O my god I found joy in music :) This is great!
The Maccabees are different class.
Amazing
Only just found this band, awesome.
this boys deserve to make some serious cash, I hope they go big
