This song makes me think of my Mothers chronic pain. She is the most gentle and positive spirit with nothing to offer the world but love, kindness and compassion. The gentle element of the tune reminds me of her and then the distortion is the jolts of electric like pain up her spine and down her legs into her feet. For anyone that lives battling between peace tranqulity and chronic pain, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Life card deal us a pretty rough hand at times. But please remember you can live with it and it does get manageable. Love will win.

ive waited 15 minutes for my insanely slow internet connection to load this video. Was well worth it.

This takes me back man. 20 years, one of the all time best.

This whole album goes stupidly hard

The whole album (Rounds) is sublime.

This is one of my absolute favourite albums! ❤

I am moving in stereo. x

IVE NEVER BEEN LOVE WITH DISTORTION SO MUCH

This is the first Four Tet song I ever heard, loved the contrast of the melody and the harsh synth. It taught me a valuable lesson, beauty isn't beautiful without the harshness, and together they can make something even greater than the sum of their parts.

i dont see how there is any debate over the distortion, it makes the song what it is, it is perfect

the distortion is epic.

For anyone interested the original video was shot from a train window in Tokyo.

love this track, really brilliant

what an amazing video.. near perfect. This track was already a fave but I had no idea it looked like this!

i dont know how he incorporated that glitchiness so well into this track - it's insane and adds to the aesthetic of the song instead of destroying it

i love how coursely the staticy noise drops in at 1:40 and how it just melts into the beauty of the track by the end

Cuando sea grande quiero ser esta canción.

Beautiful video and sound. Just perfect.

I love this song more and more

Beautiful video, fits to style of this classic track

Beautiful sounds and video (for a change) collide - really truly great x

soo nice

Merci radio Canut pour la découverte de ce titre !

*2003 is my favorite year 💖!*

it's just like love, being delicate and harmful at the time

@Munchy365 that's what makes this song interesting, so cool, like the popping of sparks from the overhead wires, other trains flashing by... Love the glitchiness that he worked into this song, the buzzing noise, some beat breaks, distortion of melodic elements, turns what would have been a boring electro track into total mindfunk.

GREAT WORK

I always feel that the first portion of this song is the narration of someone's life; the first distorted section is the spectre of death; the break after that is the acceptance of death; the final distorted section is death itself and the outro is the subject transcending to another plane. Dunno why.

Great track, sublime video…all I'm sayin'

Lovely!

if only I could feel that way again ...

A perfect song

anybody who says the "distortion" is off-time needs to listen to more jazz. its not off time, its just on off-beats to create "hangs" in the beat. there is a difference

Like brand new still

this is exactly the kind of thing i would like to produce music-wise

She moved me !! Yeah she has now she talks like that ..

Наконец-то нашел!!! Трек ШИКАРЕН

the distortion in the middle say to you : "WAKEEE UP !!! ARE YOU LISTENING ME ?"

@Munchy365 Same here, i love it!

I was genuinely surprised when I saw this song has only 150k listens. I was SURE Four Tet with his popularity has at least a mil for his best song...

nice

@Munchy365 no the distortion is perfect

❤️

You need to play this on dolby 8.1 with twin subs it blows your mind! Love this track and video .

First I disliked the distortion. But then I thought about how it's just different from any other song i've ever heard. Then I've learned to accept it. And it's great.

KIERAN YOU BEAUTY

Artwork.

Reminds me to the chemical brothers video Star Guitar, same concept

@Munchy365 no, the distortion is totally what makes the song.

Fock yes different video match song Buenisimo

@Munchy365 yes.

@Munchy365 Definitely not the only one. It completes the track....

@Munchy365 I love it too man :-)

総武線っぽいね。 最後の方に葛飾区って書いてあるから、千葉から東京への登り線かな。成田エクスプレスも写ってる。

@Kegofbeer hmm that sound prefectly fair enough to be honest, fair play my good sir

Star Guitar - Chemical Brothers ;)

I feel like they wrote this song whilst tripping in an urban environment. =)

@Verry0bored0help ~right. i could have gone for another effect or instrument, just not grating static masquerading as an awesome avant-garde trick

fucking great idea! wish id thought of it first! ;)

@Intelectual95 are you takin the piss mate? some people play live instruments, other people take months creating a song on a computer, trying to make it perfect. just because you dont like this doesent mean its not good music. Its amazing music

@Munchy365 the track is what it is thanks the distortion;)

@Munchy365 how can you not like the distortion and say you like Four Tet?

this... this is fuckin awsome. distortion that comes in the middle of song is slightly distracting but not impossible to actually like

écouter ça à vitesse 1.5

Ace choon, innit.

@eggmcwhanbam loop function... #fanofglitch

@Munchy365 Holy shit, it's munchy.

Should have gone to Spec Savers !

U can hear he's using a line 6 I swear I can hear him pressing the buttons at the end

The song itself really suffers when the distortion comes in ... but i guess that someone wants it .....

@Verry0bored0help totally agree. Too much experimental kills the song. Would appreciate it better if it was classic. Really nice beat tough

1.25 fast

funny :)

the glitches are the point, but oh well,,,

They need to collaborated with luca d'alberto

@tdelingua Yeah, but at least the director for this kinda one-upped him with this one.

Is this The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar clip?

Am I the only person who actually likes the distortion? :C

Either the new album was made as a nostalgia trip or he's been getting spiked with rispiredone

besides, sometimes being " off-time" is good

@Kegofbeer You evidently don't understand what the track is trying to achieve.

@Kegofbeer Its called syncopation. Muppet

1stieees

carefully re-read my reply, please

@blackcoffeeblacker Carefully re-read my comment, please.

wow risky use of distortion but thats some great electronic there.

what is it? lost 4:40

@animafrea Have a look at this guys channel I think this is what your looking for. I'd bet this is where the Idea at least came from. cat2525jp ‎

minus the bear

@frontalvulture syncopation isnt random

Cool song, but Michel Gondry already did this for The Chemical Brothers in the video for Star Guitar.

Sounds like Bonobo's song...

ha ha ha Get out.

@Verry0bored0help it's not innovative even. it's just annoying.. a shame too, since the song was intriguing and pretty up to that point.

OLIVES GO BEST WITH DUBLINER CHEESE.... "POOOOP". WOOPS EXCUSE ME! POOOOOOP PRIDE

This is very "Bonobo" esque

@fdgsa as an ethnomusicology major, i can assure you that the "noises" are arhythmic. they do repeat at the same times, which can be considered a rhythm, but they fall at seemingly random places that are not "in time" and as such are unsettling to my brain. i should note that i dont think playing rhythms that line up perfectly with convention is always necessary. i think it just sounds like shit here.

@aldhous it doesnt achieve what i want it to achieve. im selfish like that and i could care less if the track achieved what it wanted to achieve, it achieved something less than what I think it could have. i mean its an otherwise amazing track. i've heard use of disruptive rythms and out of key sounds and whatnot to great effect in other situations but i just dont think it does the song any good. the noises don't build or resolve or bring out anything in the song. all they do is piss me off.

@ the people who like the startling noises that are out of time. no. you are wrong. it sounds like shit and ruins an otherwise great song. if you want to use out of time dissonance shit to build up tension and release or provide contrast that is not how you do it.
