  • The official video for Nation Of Language - Sightseer
    From the album Strange Disciple: ffm.to/nol-str...
    Directed and Edited by John MacKay
    Cinematographer - Cece Chan
    Colorist - Zack Chalmers
    Processed by Mono No Aware
    Sightseer written by Nation of Language
    Produced by Nick Millhiser
    Mastered by Heba Kadry, NYC
    LYRICS:
    I could wander ‘round like a sightseer
    ‘til you say to me “child, there’s an answer here”
    And if all I ever get is a reticent nod
    I’d be falling madly in love
    So now you see see see my selfish needs
    Maybe I’ll have to feel this on my own
    You can get what you want:
    Experiences, I’m told
    Maybe I’ll have to feel this on my own
    You can get what you want:
    Another kind of love
    Idly shifting piles of the looseleaf
    And you say to me “child, what about the last scene”
    Talking to myself, I remember every breath
    C’mon, kill me, please
    Maybe I’ll have to feel this on my own
    You can get what you want:
    Experience, and a way home
    Maybe I’ll have to feel this on my own
    You can get what you want:
    Another kind of love
    Did I call too late tonight?
    All I do is work anymore
    Bet I could fix up my face between 8th and 9th
    And I could be what you want
    Before I start lying to myself
    What do I care what some tarot says
    But when the car pulls ‘round I feel it in my eyes
    I feel it
    And they fall

    I’ve already commented on this I know, but I’m in a bad state of depression right now. I played this with lyrics to express it to my wife, and the progression of the song, the lyrics and everything that comes with helped me convey what I was talking about and actually cry.
    Pathetic I know, but NOL helped me reconnect with a side of me that was dormant for a long time.
    This band have helped me more than they’ll ever know. The depth of their songwriting/musicianship is so valued.
    Love you all

    • @voparixly

      I feel you my man. NOL has this special ability to unlock feelings that were stashed away or ones that you never knew you had. Sightseer has hit me recently and it's doing the same for me. It's one of those delayed obsessions, I've become completely entranced by the progression in the track.
      I wish you all the strength in dealing with your depression. Keep using music to help you find your voice. And I hope you find confidence in that voice - no one's honest experiences are pathetic :)

      Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate you taking the time to wish well to a complete stranger. I’m better now, this song just struck a real chord at the time and winter always knocks me for six. Onwards and upwards 😊 take care of yourself brother

    Did I call too late tonight?
    All I do is work any more
    Bet I could fix up my face between 8th and 9th
    And I could be what you want
    Damn that’s good. 🔥

    I'm 57 and I discovered this band just recently. It's so great. Sometimes I feel like being back in my youth days when I listen to their music. To me they are even better that all those bands from the 80's.

    • @crm11412

      62 here. I agree. I feel like I stumbled into a worm hole taking me back to the early 80's

    All of their songs catch my ear and I immediately feel them in my body. Later on I go and read the lyrics and the song opens up even further for me. Exquisite song writing.

    My favorite track from Strange Disciple.

  • @seanburrell4870
    @seanburrell4870 Před 7 měsíci +6

    This song is a new obsession, playing in my head when I’m in work, and otherwise. Not gonna lie, it’s a grower, much like all NOL songs for me, but at the end I’m a pure fanboy. Keep all of this up if you can. I can’t wait to see you live, I hope it will be soon

    • @seanburrell4870
      @seanburrell4870 Před 7 měsíci +2

      Also this video really compliments the song. The retro vibe is carried throughout. If it didn’t contain modern cars/buildings, it could pass as 40 years old. My god I can’t get enough of this band

  • @chmick50
    @chmick50 Před 9 měsíci +7

    Moving, emotional, enthralling. My favorite band made the best album of the year.

  • @rickfeld7995
    @rickfeld7995 Před 8 měsíci +6

    Checked them out when i read they were opening for LCD. These guys are damned good. Love this 80's vibe. ( 69 yr. old music lover, love Miles, Beatles, Cure, Bowie, Marvin Gaye, pretty much everything ).

  • @theblitzer9798
    @theblitzer9798 Před 8 měsíci +7

    I am 54. The 80's are one of the best eras in music. This band was suggested via CZcams music. I am hooked. Most every song resonates with my life, taking me back to much younger and freer times. Thank you, Nation, for taking me back. What a musically/lyrically talented band. Keep pushing! The traction they are getting is undeniable.
