Very interesting track. Definitely needs the video to go with it though. I listened to it through with it in the background whilst I was doing something else and whilst I heard every word I was thinking "Wha...?", the video makes it so much clearer. Good point, relatively good song (not a fan of rap)

Love heard it on the local station and thought yeah, reminds me of Linkin Park, raw and fresh till they sold out to Jay Z

Hmm....the ideas I had in my head regarding this song were clearer before I watched the video.

I do like this as its something new and a bit different. However its suffering from over playing at the moment.

Thankfully listening to 6 Music means I don't get bored with the same music over and over again :D

I quite like the song.

I'm not really getting much of a 'meaningful point' vibe from it though, just sounds like commercial money peddling music to me.

I got about a minute into it and had to shut it off. I can't stand repetitive songs. "No handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars". It just shows me they have no imagination to think up more words to go in there so they just repeat.

Off the top of my head that line comes twice in the entire song, and each time that melody kicks in at the end of a passage, with different words, it's to emphasise a particular time in the lives of the protagonists.

I'm sorry but unlike most hit songs this actually has a really good story/message/thing behind it.

What's your interpretation of the message?

Thank God someone said it.
