Walk Me To The Bridge Unofficial reactions

[grimlock]

Those would be collectors items though wouldn't they?

Or it's the only copies of Richey's unreleased solo album Richey Sings.

[gladstone]

So, this doesn't seem to be listed as a single, just an album track that's available to buy. Europa is the only other track to have a run time on there. Release date cock up induced single swap? Fingers crossed

Band looks great in the video,
everything else...uh.
It's OK. First single is just here to troll us, as usual.

1 point out of 10 for the band footage, the only part that didn't make me cringe.

Oh, and choosing the future will never lead you to the Manics, the band whose idea of the future is the sounds of the 80s (in a good way) and the aesthetics of 1998 (in a bad way).

Yeah, well, after a break and some camomile tea I may have overreacted a wee bit. The video is maybe not THAT bad. It is pretentious and involuntarily funny, though.
And the final sentence of my original statement still stands. (leaves the party so others can have fun.)

Edit Technically speaking the word "Futurologie" exists, but no one would use it. It's Zukunftsforschung, ffs!

Surprise surprise, I very much enjoyed this video, if anything it enhanced the song and it's probably the best of Kieran's videos for mine.

Sean's intense stare towards the camera had me laughing a little, I must admit.

I can imagine a video for Europa working in this way.

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, though.

...god I knew it reminded me of a movie.

Cool and a bit funny-sounding (for a dane at least ) word!

They should release a German version of the album, exclusively to Germany-speaking countries.

[Flint]

An enjoyable visual experience. The creative rebirth post-National Treasures seems to have brought back their interest to have good videos too.

The song continues to be rather good, and the bass sound gets sexier each listen.

Just IMAGINE James saying Zukunftsforschung! They should do a German version for that alone.

ps video is growing on me. I'm easily corrupted.

A Making Of ... video featuring the band trying to say the words in the video?

Now that is a fantastic idea.

[Nabby]

Heard the song for the first time today, having read various reactions on this forum...so going in I was listening out for 1)bad lyrics, and 2)SYNTH

I was not disappointed. Some of the verse lyrics are just clunky, but the chorus is catchy as fuck.

[Corkie308]

Loving the video. Like others have, it really enhances the song!

[franny]

Excellent video, very exciting and obviously very European, the album becomes a better and better prospect by the day.

Hope people are all using Amazon to buy their own popcorn rather than getting their grubby paws on each others' now.
