Idlewild Warnings/Promises

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
It's so rocking, I love it. Great lyrics too (no surprise there!)

Can't wait for a higher quality recording of it. Crap, I CANNOT wait for the new album!
 
could someone please send me it, too?

:sigh: it will take years to download on this computer (ok, hours, but they'll feel like years), but it looks worth it, being idlewild and all :hyper:

Yertle...i love your email, as you can probably tell from my sig :)

DiGi, I actually don't have a copy of this...just heard the song online...do you mind sending me a link as well whenever you get a chance? Thanks! :)
 
The music video is up on Idlewild's site.
http://idlewild.co.uk/idlewild.html

Scroll down a little and you'll find it. I forgot it was there and never posted about it. Video isnt bad, isnt great. Then again, I spent too much time singing along to really watch it that intently.....

So as we put away the real ale, candles, violins and hearty folk singer laughs for the time being, I have to say in all honesty, that I don't think I've ever enjoyed a tour as much as I enjoyed last week's short run of acoustic concerts.
We've been playing like that for our own enjoyment for years, so it was heartening indeed to finally play it on a stage, and for the audience to react the way that they did. So, thanks, and for those who didn't get a ticket, we're planning on doing it again later in the year, in some unusual spots. All I'll say is, I hope it don't rain and bring a straw hat.

Must also mention and praise Jenny Reeve for all her help and along with Foxface for stellar opening sets. Modern Scottish folk music at it's finest.


So now it is back to plugging into amplifiers and dusting off the distortion pedals. Not too much though. This is going to be quite a different tour.
Sons and Daughters are opening. They're one of my favourite Scottish bands. It's going to be a good night.

By now I'm sure a lot of you have heard the new single and seen the new video. All I'll say about it is that the flat where the video was filmed was owned by an old woman who used to travel with the circus and painted huge pictures of clowns, and that I'll never again consent to getting my hair brushed.
The song itself is the most immediate from 'Warnings/Promises'. It's a record you'll have to spend some time with. Roll on March 7th.......


'they have all gone away
the house is set and still
there is nothing more to say'


idlewild are listening to........

Belle and Sebastian 'Tiger milk'
Ray Lamontagne 'Trouble'
Karen Dalton 'It's so hard to tell who's going to love you the best'
Low 'The great destroyer'
Bob Dylan 'Infidels'
Johann Jorgensun
Boards of Canada
The Constantines 'Shine a light'
Bert Jansch
Reeve - demos
Ghostface Killah
Foxface "
 
I'm going to the Norwich date!! :hyper:

I wish I could see them in Cambridge too, but tickets are too much to justify buying two and then negotiating trains to and from Cambridge.
