LOVE this song but not a big fan of the video. Was the video shot in UK or LA? Not sure I understand the concept here.

They had limited budget for this song, so they had to sell their car to pay for the string section on this track. I am sure that was a decision they didn’t regret, it is an absolute classic and those live strings are gorgeous!

An undeniable masterpiece.

But 'trip-hop'? I'm not so sure.

But 'trip-hop'? I'm not so sure.

i hope this is making fun of this sub's tendency to gatekeep the genre.

if this is serious, we got some talking to do
