Bloc Party- Signs

“At your funeral I was so upset. So up…. So upset.”
Sigh. It has got to make you want to sigh. Heartbreakingly beautiful.

He is one of those musicians who have voice as instrument. Others include Thom Yorke, M.Nasir, Isaac Brock, Greg Paquet, Hamilton Leithauser, John Frusciante, Ian Curtis, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Sarah McLachlan, Regina Spektor, Jeff Buckley, Glen Hansard, Paul Banks, Caleb Followill, Julian Casablancas and a never-exhausted-list of them. Listen as the high pitch music opens the song and later his low tone voice enters. As the song progresses, he weaves in his high tone with the music. It could not have been more pretty or clever.

I have to say the highest point of the song is when he sings the line that I have quoted above. It most definitely will do something to your heart.
