Our beautiful baby daughter was born today, we have called her Nara in honour of our love, we sit with tears of joy in our hearts as we listen to this song together.
Thank you Alt J.
Love is the warmest colour. ❤️
Our baby. Yessss. Lol.
@PietreADI So what lol
I dont even know you but feel honored. I love my name and when other girls have it too
my daughter's name is Nara too. it's vedic as well.
I hope she's doing well!
I've discovered a band like no other band.
Godlike band
Naild it
This song speaks volumes to me. It's amazing what strangers can do for you.
exacto
People who say that money can't buy happiness obviously haven't bought a ticket to Alt-j's concert. The memory of that show never fails to make me smile. It was truly magical.
You're so lucky! Wish I could go to their concerts aswell :/
But wasn't money that brought you happiness. Was the concert and the music itself. Money only made possible to happen. Money for money is nothing, mere symbol of materialism and materialism is nothing.
@@deathcrush6155 Not trying to be a debate lord here but I think there is a bone to pick.
First, I agree with the first part of your statement. It was, indeed the concert and the music itself that brought the OP their happiness. Case in point, if the OP had been given the tickets for free, I would venture to say their enjoyment would be roughly the same as were they to have bought the tickets themselves.
But what do you mean by materialism is nothing?
Also, I don't think money is merely the symbol of materialism. Personally, money is more so the notion that I won't starve on the cold rough park bench tomorrow, and I think that justifies money as a source of happiness.
@@sammipanini Money is an abstraction of man-hours. Nothing more, nothing less.
@@JivanPal And as such it has value. So what's your point?
I don't know guys but I have a feeling that Alt-j is one of the greatest bands of our generation and when nowadays music will be gone their music will remain. That's my humble opinion
amen mate
Totally agree
be sure of that.
Having only discovered alt j in the last few months, I absolutely agree.
Paul Ibbotson me too and for me they're the greatest band at the moment, even if relaxer probably is the worst alt-j album but it's however a great album
This Is All Yours…….. lnk.to/skwbjVIz
Ah ye got me there 😅
got ya!
This is so exciting 😅
@@user-xq9th9qr6h wanna team up maybe?
@@teresamiel01 sure, we'll crack this together, thinking about it the explosion might be a reference to hard drive gold but I'm having no luck yet. There's a thred on the altj subreddit that I'm discussing on
Soon
I'm gonna marry a man like no other
Light the fuse, hallelujah, hallelujah
Love, love is the warmest color
Petrol blues, hallelujah, hallelujah
Comes, saut dans le vide, my lover
In my youth the greatest tide washed up my prize
You.
Follow, let him go, let him lead me be
Love is a pharaoh, and in front of me
I thought let him be where he want to be
Love is a pharaoh and he's boning me
I've discovered a man like no other man
I've discovered a man like no other man
I've discovered a man like no other man
I've found a love to love like no other can
Ah ooh
Ah ooh
I've found a love to love like no other can
He's found me, my Aslan
Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Marry a man like no other
Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Love is the warmest color
Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Unpin your butterflies, Russia
Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
To be a deer in Nara
Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Hallelujah, Bovay, Alabama
Saut dans le vide=jump into the void
Celina Bryan oh wow Your are a rockstar, such epic lyrics .Thanks for sharing 😊🙃
He says saute dans le vide with an accent wich means come in and jump with me in the unknown basically (ima french)
HalleluYah by the way
I just took these off Google, so some may be wrong. 🤷♀️ Posted them for myself 😉 anyways.
I don't want to sleep, I just want to listen.
i really love your profile picture
@@Deetle99 tnx :)
My favourite song from This Is All Yours thus far. I say 'thus far' because my favourite Alt-J song changed every month after An Awesome Wave was released.
Know exactly what you mean :D I had the same experience.. So far Nara is sitting on top for me too :).. For now
Something Good from AAW was definitely my favourite
TheRealFinnWilliams from AAW my favorite was Dissolve Me. Nara is probably my favorite of the new album though.
1.Breezeblocks
2.Nara
3.Fitzpleasure/Matilda -Can't decide!!
4.Every other freckle
5.Tesselate/Hunger of the pine-Again, can't decide
Can't even get into top 10 rn.
You took something away from every song and the songs have immense replay value. It will take time for this album to sink in.
I know this sounds corny but every time i listen to alt-j i feel that they have grabbed my soul and it is bouncing on top of the music notes and i'm laying down with a slight smile and a tear falling down my face with a blank stare as the music fills my entire being.
It may be cheesy, but lots of people feel the same!☺️
As a tear falls down my own face...
Me as well. I don't feel complete if I haven't listened to at least a couple of their songs everyday
I feel the same way :)
That makes us two but slightly different I would say.. 😊
This is so beautiful it hurts
This is the most stupid song ive ever heard, because of the lyrics.
Brian k. You are a person.
@@denielldevries whats wrong with them?
FieryDashes then why you here? the lyrics add a whole new layer of beauty.
@@alyxo5838 that's exactly what I was about to ask him. He has no reason to think it's terrible and he also has absolutely no reason to be here giving statements no one asked for lol
I’m constantly trying to get people around me to appreciate this song because it’s a masterpiece and is perfectly crafted but I have like 2 friends and they’re not interested
Consider me as your friend. Thanks for this masterpiece ❤️
Drop the friendship lol
Your friend must be the koala man
You legend. 🙏
🤗🙏🏼✌
“follow, let him go, let him lead me be” is one of the most beautiful lyrical sequences i’ve ever heard in a song
That's an eargasm. i can literally feel the vibration of my whole body when I listen to this song!!
+emmanouela apostolaki +1
Yup
+100
+emmanouela apostolaki - agreed..until I pulled out my vibrator
emmanouela apostolaki true
The amount of things this song means to me.... Wow! As a gay man, it hits home for real. It has gotten me through so much and I will forever be grateful to Alt-J for this masterpiece. Cannot wait to see them live one day.
I agree. As a gay man who grew up in a very tiny (400 pop.) conservative town, this song means so much to me. I Finally got to see them live a couple months ago. Even with my huge expectations, they didn’t disappoint. I Haven’t found a band that’s gotten me so emotionally invested in their music since Radiohead, when i was a teen. Great stuff. Also, to the people who have been turned off by the meaning of the lyrics, pretty sure that longing to be with someone whom you love and the relief of actually being able to realize said love is a very universal experience. Regardless of gender or orientations. Your letting your own insecurities dictate your perceptions. Stop it. Don’t let it spoil such great music.
For those who don't understand the meaning, here is my interpretation: the song speaks about the hardships of being a homosexual in modern society, wanting to run away "to be a deer in Nara," a city in Japan where deer are treated as majestic, almost godlike creatures. The song mentions the source of homophobia and prejudices: "hallelujah" as a double entendre representing a religious source of prejudice and the joy they feel as they escape the hatred of society, Alvan E. Bovay, the founder of the Republican party, and Alabama, one of the most conservative states in the US. It's about running away into the unknown with the one you love, when they say "Saut dans le vide (leap into the void), my lover" it really emphasizes this point. They even allude back to the Olympics, mentioning Russia's vehement discrimination of homosexuals in the line "Unpin your butterflies, Russia", with butterflies representing the LGBT community.
All in all, it's an amazing song and probably my favorite of all time from them.
Let's not forget the amazing likening of his lover to Aslan the Lion (He found me. My Aslan) from The Chronicles of Narnia, who is largely considered a metaphor for Christ. His lover is his savior.
Brandon Boykin Very true! Nice catch! They truly take the extra step in terms of depth with their lyrics. It's amazing.
Skalert Swiggins Yes, persecution mostly brought to light by the Olympics, at least to the majority. :)
It also may link to the prejudice of Homosexuals with the line "Love, love is the warmest colour" This may convey the way that people believe LGBT's have swapped genders and a gay man would like pink (traditionally a female colour)and a gay woman would like blue(traditionally a masculine colour) as these colours all have strong gender links. So Alt J has said, it doesn't matter what gender you like, you can be who you are.
Universe Daily Just wanted to make the point that queer women aren't really associated with the colour blue and queer men certainly aren't associated with pink as pink was the Nazi designatory colour for homosexuals, which is why a rainbow is used to represent homosexuality nowadays. I wouldn't normally call a common mistake out, but some homosexuals would be extremely offended if you associated their sexuality with that colour for that reason.

CamBen thank you
I'm not gay, but this song makes me feel mixed feelings
Jackson Kaguei why so afraid to see gay? All humans have mixed feeling my dear
you are really pretty
CamBen
I'd like to take a moment to congratulate those with a great taste in music.
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I can’t help but shed a tear when it comes on.
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I‘m pretty sure this comment section is one of the greatest ones on the entire platform. The peace, unity and respect and the expression of everyones deepest feelings in here gives a place for souls to be truly free and understood.
In a sleepless ordinary night like any other, I'm glad I found this ..
I am on my balcony, smoking.I am glad i know this :)
piyush drummer Well I'm glad for both of us :^
SAME HERE ^^
Naber Eda
amen
I'VE DISCOVERED A BAND
LIKE NO OTHER BAND
Somebody copied your comment
I feel like the line "love is the warmest color" is a reference to Blue Is the Warmest Color, which is my favorite movie right now
1:38 that high pitch tone always catches me so off guard, you could almost be fooled into thinking it's a female vocalist initially. Good god Newman you and your beautiful expansive vocal range. Goddamn gives me chills every time.
what im here for!
What a gorgeous song. All of their songs are so beautiful. I love the affect their music has. And everyone in the comments are getting along so well. It's amazing
And Spider-Man listens to them
And Jesus once said 'yo that shit is dope' in reference to Alt-J's music.
BrownTownReviews yes he does!!
effect* . Sorry, just had to do it.
2:57 just kills me eveytime!!! For the grace of life I acknowledged this band with this song just the day after getting to know the love of my life
i feel really sad for no reason and the phrase: TO BE A DEER IN NARA made my cry... and i dont know why
The Shinto religion and local beliefs hold that a deity named Takemikazuchi arrived in the old capital of Nara on a white deer to act as the city's protector, and as a result, the deer of Nara were considered sacred, messengers of the gods. “To be a deer in Nara” (IMO) I believe the person written about in the song is gay in a homophobic society and either wishes or is finally in a place where he is accepted.
Love ist the warmest colour♥
Comes, saut dans le vide, my lover
In my youth !
The greatest tide washed up my prize
Follow, Let him go, Let him lead me be
Love is a pharaoh
The first comment section on a CZcams video without endless hate. Respect 👊
Fuck you
+Davy Roger why?
Cam Wheeldon not my first but love is always good
Alt-j is weird but that is what so good about them. Because they are fun and cool to listen to.
Some people love defying others
Holy shit 2:56 on is fucking amazing!!!!
HOLY SHIT YOU ARE OVERLY EXCITED ^D^
this part is so awesome !
The most beautiful part of this song.
Holy shit ... it's like rebirth my soul.
Hallelujah for this song...
Love is the warmest colour.
Alt J is the rainbow in my clouds.
Wow so true! Your comment actually reminds me of a music video I edited together for this majestic song. Check it out on my channel if you wanna. Peace!
Aloe Romeo
I'm glad we feel the same about this music...for me is so powerful !!!
I watched your video. Well done and it works nicely with the music :)
I've rarely seen such a beautiful and poetical song. Maybe that's because I have not read much poetry or good song writers, but the lyrics of this song touches me like no other even though i am not gay. I'm really touched in front of such beauty, their metaphores are just wonderful, it touches me right in the heart, thanks Alt-J.
#sesh
My name's Thomas too.
is it me or is this new album just fucking awesome ...
this new album is just fucking gobsmacking awesome.
So very outrageously awesome.
Not just you. This album is just all the awesomeness rolled into one ball of awesome XD
Sarah Hussain what a great comment !!
XD I do try
joe newman is a lyrical genius
Brian that Brain LoL
Blue is the warmest colour
I love that in almost each song theres a sentence in french :)
are they french though ?
SAM no
I saw them live in july and all I could think of was that they're brilliant musicians making brilliant music. And I realized that what I'm looking for in music is EXCELLENCE and they are a great example
I'm in pain. So many memories locked in every second of this song. But it's soothing me.
I will never forget the first time I heard this song... Absolutely mind blowing, and I still get chills every time
My favorite songs
1. bloodflood pt II
2. nara
3. fitzpleasure
4.intro
5. every other freckle
6. intro (an awesome wave)
all the rest are amazing too
I would add breeze blocks and gospel of john hurt
Breezeblocks is king.
Bloodflood pt2 is king of kings
Taro is my absolute favourite.
Hunger of the pine
This is the best, most original album I have heard in years. It's just amazing.
Who likes this music...I wanna hug you *__*
let's hug !
sure
I'm in ♥
Has anybody else felt the need of Nara to be their funeral song?
+Prakhar Khandelwal NO :) To me it sounds more like my wedding song...it's a song for soulmates...
Oh my god I was just thinking that! Like I want people to listen to this when I'm gone and think of me because it's soooooo beautiful!
+Prakhar Khandelwal *Picks song thats beautiful to make everyone sad*
+Mr. November - If you think dying is sad, then yes, maybe, I am doing that. I was talking more in terms of the feel it gave me.
+Mr. November, more on the lines of what Alec Schuerger said.
"follow let him go" his voice !!! he was just flexing at that point
One of the most genuinely beautiful songs I've heard in a long time.
I've been a fan of these guys for about 2 years. They're a great band with a different sound. It's really refreshing to hear something besides the same old four chords and lyrics. Thank you alt-j.
This is the song that I'm going to dedicate to the love of my life.
Me too.
Just sitting with my entire body tingling with chills throughout the entire song. God I'm so thankful for alt j existing
This song is SO deep on SO many levels.. what a masterpiece by a band more should really listen to
Such a beautiful song, one of the VERY few I've found capable of bringing tears to the eyes. So glad my best friend showed me this, I'm an instant fan.
This is the best song ever. FACT
i wish to find my soulmate who loves this song the way i do
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
forever astonished by the sheer power and talent this band has
This band deserves so much more recognition.
Nara is my all-time favourite song.
It was the summer two years ago when I first listened to the song. So much glee and joy coming to my mind. I felt kinda bewildered.
Everytime I am listening to the song the pictures of the summer 16 are flying into my mind.
One thing confusing me is that you do not really know the greatness of a moment in the present. You learn to appreciate these moments afterwards.
I do not know if that is just me and I want to learn to appreciate the moment and, as edgy as it sounds, to live it.
only some words flying around in my mind that I had to write down
I also want to marry a man like no other :(
Hajaja if you like this kind of music someone like me would be honored marring you ;) :p
marry a cat instead, less problematic truss me ☺
@@Nightbrrd or a dog!
Hope you do!
Ungashada mina. I fit the description perfectly!!
I wear the triangle on my forearm with pride. Love this group
Got mine next to my right shoulder painted inside with their first album cover colours and I love it as hell
My uncle did a delta on his forearm aswell
Triangle on my right arm. Forever
i'm planning to get one on my left inner wrist once this pandemic is over. a tiny minimal one but it will sure hold lots and lots of meanings inside. triangles are (really) my favorite shape. :)
Love is the warmest color
The euphoria I feel from alt j's music is unreal
It's the first time that I hear this song. It's flawless, a beautiful masterpiece. Glad I found them.
I didn't realise this song was about the struggles of being gay in a homophobic society! Now that I understand, it's making me cry just listening to it. My favourite band plus the thing I care most deeply about. I didn't think it was possible, but I think I love alt-J even more now
Didn't know either , don't care really. Love is love. We should all embrace
Here I thought they were talking about Alabama. 💀
All jokes aside, this song always manages to calm me down when I'm having bad anxiety. 👌🤌
I don't even want to listen to it now. Thanks for sparing me 🤢
That's incredible!
@@nolongervailable9400Uh?
Alt J is the best thing to listen to when you want to smoke a bowl an relax. Every fucking song they've made pleases me.
Thank you Alt-J. Thank you.
Puts your mind at ease.
You like massive attack? ;)
Foxy Williams What gave it away? lol ;)
Michael Magill Haha first time I see someone with a Heligoland profile picture
hallelujah, bovey, alabama...
I don't know what's happening, but I like it.
pekka I don’t know. You don’t know. I know one thing and you know it too. The only thing I know is I know nothing.
this music speaks to my soul, in such a way I cannot even describe in words
I named my cat after this song when I got her two years ago for Christmas.
Nara? What a cool name for a cat.
David Nexans thank you (:
I called mine Shakira, I'm very proud of it.
ЯσợsCσэ de Reyes that's a cute name for a cat
Qué bonita, por favor. Este grupo tenía que ser mucho más famoso. This group should be much more famous and over all, appreciated. :)
alt-J is very famous , but do not forget that what is not good must be the most popular
Propos terous son famosos >w< tuve la suerte de verles en directo y el sitio estaba llenísimo!!
Well, I mean in the sense of being much more recognised. Me refiero a que fuese más reconocido.
+Propos terous they are, but only special people knows this precious band ;)
+joao caetano És português?
Alt-j is life
Hallelujah for a lovely song.
This is my favourite song ever
ive been listening to this all day. for the past 8 days.
You know when you wake up and go through the day and one of their songs has been ringing in your head the whole day and when you finally get to listen to it it's just like: yes.
No?
Just me?
Ok
Sandra Riiel no me too yes
Sandra Riiel haha same
alt j is incredible! so far i love every song :D this song is perfection ❤️
Anyone else here thinks the "I discovered a man like no other man" part not only references the two lovers, but the way born-again christians talk about Jesus? To me, it has a religious connotation, like the song in general.
Sure no, cause he says - I'M GONNA MARRY a man like no other
if you think he'll marry jesus, maybe
beautiful.... from France
Thank you for what you've done for music, for my ears, for my soul...
I don't understand the dislikes. I mean this is TRUE art and nothing else. Deal with it.
thats how my soul sounds❤️. i give a huge hug to everyone who passes their darkest time of their life
I listen to a ton of audiobooks while I drive so I didn't even realize Alt-J had released another album until I drove my wife's care one day and threw it in. This is amazing. I haven't listened to a ton of music since The Mars Volta broke up so it probably doesn't come as much of a surprise that I like this song so much. This really reminds me of some of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's solo work from an instrumental perspective.
Huge fan of Omar as well, bro! He's weirder-- but both the artists in question are very original and produce a very unique brand of music.
I've discovered a man, a koala man.
I can't unhear this what have you done to my ears wtf
fu
He must be sleeping then
My god thats so funny
Just as he sings "soon"... my whole been prepare for what's coming... gosh... they're awesome :')
love the meaning of this song! absolutely amazing
all my feelings break out when I listen to this legendary thing, literally....... 20.02.21
I can't stop listening to this song! Love it so much!
"love is a pharaoh and he's boning me" lyrical genius
Best song ever created
Pure love.
Alt-J is the warmest color.
2:55 this is hauntingly beautiful
Hallelujah bovay alabama..
Shine Bright Always
EVERY TIME IM PRAYING THIS SONGS POPS INTO MY HEAD
I discovered a band like no other band
I'll be honest. I just came here because that's my name but THAT BEAT.....Oooohh.... It got me to stay.
Thank Alt J for all of this.
I am understanding what you are trying to messaging out here, this is and has been will be an amazing trip.
My favorite band ever so glad I’ve found them.
Definitely my favorite alt-J song
its 3 a.m, here i am again. cheers everyone!
the combination of the last few lines and that background tone, just let me feel everything and my eyes begin to water.
+The Hateful M8 4:20
I could listen too this song on repeat all dayy.
02:56 Them chills tho
