Hi, i'm new in here. I got Hurts' album just before Christmas and i really like it. So far my fave songs are Wonderful Life (that's the one that got me into them :heart:), Blood, Tears and Gold, Stay, Silver Lining, and Illuminated. :D

 

Hey, welcome. :D

All the songs you mentioned are my favourites too. :awesome:

 

Hello, Sarah, and welcome. :nice:

 

"Illuminated" is beyond great. Seeing the live music video for that pretty much cemented my fandom. I was really into them before that, but after listening/watching, I was just like, "Omigosh, they're special."

 

Pretty much the same for me too. :awesome:

 

It was the first song I heard of theirs on an advert, I was like: ":stunned: I have to find out who does this song!"

For some reason I think I'd heard Stay before I'd heard of Hurts. :thinking:

I don't think it was on any advertisements over here or anything. :shrug:

"Stay" became my instant favorite when I first got the album. :wacky:

Me too. :wacky:

There's something about it that just makes me :blush:

"WE SAY GOODBYE IN THE POURING RAAAAAIN,

AND I BREAK DOWN AS YOU WALK AWAAAAAY."

 

:blush:

STAAAAY! STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

 

:awesome: :blush: :heart: :wacky:

Awesome sing-along is awesome. :wacko:

:awesome:!

 

:wacky:

 

Blood, Tears & Gold is pretty awesome too. :wacky:

That's actually one of my least favorites, for some reason. Not that it isn't good, because Hurts is awesome in its entirety. I think I just like other songs better.

Really? :surprised: That's one of my absolute favorites! :wacky:

Have you heard their B-side "Mother Nature?" I like that one quite a bit.

^No. :surprised: I will now though! :escaping:

Blood, Tears & Gold is pretty awesome too. :wacky:

 

Yeah, i love Blood, Tears and Gold too. It's quite sad though. :(

 

Here's a live version of it i just watched, it's beautiful. :blush:

Has anyone watched the Cinematheque performance? It's amazing. :heart:

You have to sign into Facebook or Twitter to watch though.

I'll watch it later. :P

 

(supposed to be doing homework now :anxious:)

 

I really wish they could come over to the US, I feel so left out. ;__; :P

Have you heard their B-side "Mother Nature?" I like that one quite a bit.

 

I'm absolutely hooked on Mother Nature atm (thanks to Hysteria for uploading it in Mult :wacky:). It's just an amazing song, the chorus in particular is hypnotic. Can't believe it's only a b-side. :bomb:

That's something that gets me sometimes with bands. I don't understand when they have songs as "b-sides" or "bonus tracks" that are actually better than some of the album tracks. It drives me nuts. :freak:

I think there's going to be a new song/b-side as Sunday is going to be a single. :awesome:

That would be nice, indeed. :wacko:

:wideeyed:!

"Happiness" has been ranked #36 in our annual "Album of the Year" countdown. Thoughts?

Very happy with that! :wacky:

 

I personally love that album, I can't get enough of it. :awesome:

I played my cousin Wonderful Life, and she was in awe of Theo's voice. :heart:

 

She asked to borrow the cd. I think I converted her to fangirl. :awesome:

I don't blame her. Theo's voice is so crisp and clear. :blush:

 

I actually had "Happiness" at #5 in my list. :awesome:

That's exactly what she said. :wacky:

 

I don't remember what rank I put Happiness at. :thinking:

It wasn't as high as it should have been though. :sad:

Uncanny, yet cool. :charming:

 

No, but it turned out higher than I personally expected it to be, and it ended up in the Top 50, so I'm OK with that.

 

It could've been worse. My #3 pick tied for 103rd place. :bigcry:
