Hartroc Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Which do you prefer? I definitely like the second half better. The melody is catchier, the guitar groove is infectious, and Chris's voice at the end...perfect. Beautiful little piano outro as well. On the other hand, the first half drags on a tad long, and I think those spacey, harmonic ascending synths are kind of cheesy. Not bad, but it sounds like b-side material. I was underwhelmed until the the guitars came back in. It's no Amsterdam, but it's pretty great nonetheless. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel_94 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I would go with the second but it wouldnt be the same without the first half! It is a truly amazing song and if it wasnt for Charlie Brown it would be easily the best track on the album!!! I'm listening to it now: the birds they sang...

42JTR Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm absolutely in love with the second part, the first part sounds a little like christmas. It's a shame the second part is way tooo short. I would love it to be the lenght of a whole song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjors93 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Definately the second part. I was totally overwhelmed when the acoustic guitar kicks in, the chord progression is so beautiful, amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intro is great, I'm not sure about the ascending synths, cheesy indeed and too loud, a bit of a mood killer in fact, I think they could have worked that out better - but who am I anyway - but as soon as the guitar melody kicks in it only gets better and the second half kind of makes up for it. The second half is the best part of the album. The day they release a song like Amsterdam but even better I'll die out of pure happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Love Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I really love the sound wall in the first part with the strings and synth (?) but nevertheless the second part is the perfect closer for the story of the album. You can imangine how the young pair walks across the television hand in hand and you can see the sun and in the background "good things are coming our way...". I especially love the transition between the two parts - its magic and I think its the mix between two halves which makes this song so brilliant!

ashleyMN28 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 second half. Its beautiful. first half of the song is a little too slow for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 asdgsilka;w Uhhh . . . first half, simply because the bit from :50 to 1:50 just kills me :wacky: But then again, the piano at the end is :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiame Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Im going to annoy a lot of people by saying this, but: I think the second half is Car Kids NO NO NO NO NO NO. I swear to God, if one more person says something stupid about fucking Car Kids I'm going to possibly decapitate them. HERE: Car kids is a song about old people being annoyed at young people. Chris says it with 11 minutes to go: http://www.20min.ch/videotv/?channel...video_id=14917 And the oracle: October 3, 2011 - submitted by Rik, United States of America Q. I've been wondering this for a long while now as I'm sure many others have, it was on Chris' shirt, the home page background. What does Car Kids mean? Is it a lyric or a song on the new album? Thanks Oracle!! The Oracle replies: Yeah, as far as I know it was a song pencilled in for inclusion on Mylo Xyloto but didn't make it on to the final tracklisting. We may hear it one day, who knows Can we PLEASE stop saying ____ is Car Kids! Because there is more than enough proof to say it isn't. CAR KIDS IS A FULL SONG. CAR KIDS DID NOT MAKE THE ALBUM.

Jedi Leo Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 First part is like Fellowship of the Ring, second part is darker, like Two Towers and then the last two songs sort of let us imagine the happy ending a la return of the king. Can´t choose between parts: I like the whole story complete :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaGroaning Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The whole album is Car Kids Favorite Post. And on-topic: I like the Animal-Collective-esque transition from the first to the second part the best. But anyway, this song as a whole is magnificent.

Dream Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I liked both equally to be honest, I think they were both necessary for the overall feeling of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladypro615 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I cant get over the song. The ending is fucking magical!!! I feel some kind of euphoria listening to it, which is fucking rare for me. The ending makes me feel... dare i say it... happy :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The whole album is Car Kids The whole universe is Car Kids. But seriously, the second half. I'm on my third listen, I believe, and the guitar always makes me smile. What a perfect ending, I might add. I can't but feel sad at the end.

mamgirl Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Definitely the second half. The first half of the song I was thinking "they can't end the album with this", but then the second half kicked in and I thought it was a great ending. Loved it!
