alt-J The Gospel Of John Hurt Comments
I like indie but, alt j always elevate it to the next level
John Hurt was a cornerstone in African American folk and blues music. He wrote many gospel songs so when I put his name in on YouTube this popped up. Wondering if they are talking about the same John Hurt. I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised since he's an amazing musician.
My dad asked me what I was listening to, I put this on, his head spun x
Please_ I'm just so overwhelmed by alt-j whole ABULM, this is super incredible guys. Love you all.
PLEASE COMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TO BRASSSSSIL <3
How can you guys be that good? This is beyond amazing!
Eerie, relaxing with a pinch of riding a boat through a swampy forest
I want to see them live Soo bad but they aren't coming to Florida anytime soon and its killing me
THEY USE SOME DEFAULT SOUNDS FROM A BASIC PIANO. lmao, I can´t.
Here because of the new tv series pearson ! X
This song makes me think of scenes in Blade Runner - despite being inspired by Alien.
This song makes me want to live on acid All the time
I am 66 years old and I cannot stop listening to this group's work. Hypnotic is the only real word I can come with to describe it. The rest is just a feeling that these guys "get it".
Someone cool showed me this. It feels like a different song with good headphones.
Private pride deauthorize United States Of America USA You are not apart of These
WTF are you trying to say or are you deliberately obtuse ?
I feel like I could link this song to pusher and it would interchange perfectlyy
2:47 Is really amazing!!!
Sem comentários. Vocês podem até não gostarem de Alt-J, mas uma coisa acrescento - precisam respeitá-los.
😳🦚🌲🌳🌿🌱
my favorite alt-j song. i like it really loud. in traffic. delivering pizzas.
Most Alt J songs make me think about either a snake talking to me made of sand or dieing but being ok with it...
Every time I listen to this song I'm losing blood, sweat, or cum by the end of it..
Truth
Alt-J has been the soundtrack for my relationship that broke down recently. I haven't listened to them in almost a year. But damn, I'm remembering why I obsessed with this cd when I first heard it.

I love to see a music video for this. Simply brilliant
tile seeking because it wants to tesselate, right?
Somebody can make a course to understand all the meanings behind this songs, plz.
They nourish my soul so much, hit every spot, that I don't have the need to listen to anything else. This is mostly the case for around 6 years, since I first heard Dissolve me and Taro. I can listen to other music, but nothing will evoke such a feeling. This album is mindboggling
Is Alt j on Pink Floyd's level yet? I feel like they are.
I am obsessed with ALT-J, and this one is totally mine.
I dropped a tear when I heard this on live!!!
2:20 - 2:48
0:55 isn't it a sound that Alien did when it was looking for food?
You know how setting a song as your alarm is a quick way to get tired of it? I've had this as my alarm for months now and I LOVE hearing it every time. I wake up feeling magical and chilled out af. 10/10 fucking masterpiece

My fav part
Oh, summer of 2015. You are long gone.
Is there anyone here who doesn't get the Alien Reference in the song? It's okay if you don't - I just want to how old i'm actually getting.
Wow!Chillig!Genial!

Who else recognises the from the Yamaha keyboard with the DJ setting??
Read our full alt.com review on http://adult-dating-site-reviews.com/alt-dating-alt-com/
Seems legit
Is a circular saw an instrument? Because it sounds like one was used for this song.
4:18 is my favorite part!
I want be high right now!!
This is calming I love it.
why i havent heard this earlier?!
I would really loved to meet these guys!!! They are true magicians!!!
I have never been high.. but I'm pretty sure this is what it feels like
Get so lost in this
I keep reading "The Gospel of Yoghurt".
RIP John Hurt: 1940 - 2017
The modern day equivalent of Bob Dylan. The words match the music like a mocking bird on a frosty morning right before spring. We are so lucky to have this music. It is for us who are lucky enough to hear every hit of the drum, guitar back ground vocals, a bass that is primordial
Infinite, profound beauty
lol some sounds came from a yamaha keypad
Eduardo Z yeah...i thought that too....
I love Thais, so much
Absolute Beauty :-)
Love alt-j 👍🏻😎
My favorite band is Tool and yet I cant stop listening to the beautiful sounds that come from Alt-J! Alt-J is the Beethoven of this generation, just as Tool is to Pink Floyd.
I can't stop listening to this.
Change the speed to 0.75.....
_"Jeremiah! Looking down , and you know where you're looking on down Do you know, where you go, you're headed on the strings for E-X-T-I-N-C-T"_
Think about those lyrics for a moment and appreciate them, they basically say "With where you're going your fate is headed towards death"
I just love the reference to the strings of fate of ancient mythology.
'Only One Answer'
He's been caught talking to God again - silver-lining penitentiary
Drinking for his sins, watering down his near-misses whilst the other person does a dutiful disservice to their day
Malcontent, -nourished and barb-wired existences - when she leans and whispers against his lessening ear to finally suppose to propose a thing of utter beauty midst delirium and sweet, sweet chaos
To clasp her hiding hand and to endlessly cradle her left breast
By way of complete adultery she's the chosen one with fear whistled near her wailing heartstrings
Her choices have been rolling over in their grave, yet her libido has been anointing him the soul-bearer
Typified beneficiary
He will roll over with her gain-less gain Time again - Does terrifically strange things to estranged strangers
And a seventeenth one-night-stand stands mysteriously erect out of a hidden craving for pompous portrayal
All of this whilst McCartney sings "we can work it out" over the airwaves of one lonely Chelsea Hotel radio, when, really, they know that they shan't
"We've been fussing and fighting my friend, yet this love for lust just cannot dance..."
Destruction by way of curvature of the elongated hip - stripped of all our demons in disguise
Here we still sit deliriously dilapidated and desirably misshapen - ladies aside sweat-arisen mental-men, this appears to be the perfectly poised portrait of sweet, sweet evil
Plagiarised betrayal and one day they will release the truth of their hidden ways
Midst their shallow alabaster graves
Eleanor Rigby's disappearance has been a thing of utter promiscuity
Never heard this band before, but i like instantaneously, which is very rare. How did i miss?
I got aids to this song! F Yeah!!
..nice;';'

did anybody else noticed he uses the pre-recorded sounds of a yamaha keyboard? like when you set it up to dj functions? no? okay :(
0:41 YES hit me with that Yamaha DJ Keyboard preset soundbite lmao
Alt J, Glass Animals and The Acid.
All day.
thanks to alt j I have really good sex ! thank you very much !
Every time I listen to this same song it puts me in a daydream but it's always different ...weird
This is the most awesome band I've ever listened. Every song is an adventure to my ears! love them <3
Beautiful song, but some criticism I would give is to crank up the drums and overall bass. Other than that, really good!
im the biggest alt j fan i love these songs
This song needs more recognition. Maybe a video too?!?!
some good old alt j <3
2:21 <3
I'm going to be honest- I probably would never have heard of alt-J if Left Hand Free hadn't been in Captain America Civil War, but I'm so glad it was because this band is a musical gift
Lukas te amo!! Xd enfermo, si lees esto, es mi declaración de amor jajajaja
first listen, very chill
0:55 xenomorph
My favorite song of alt j
Damn...I fuckin love this band
First time listening. I've got chills like this masterpiece was played at my birth.
Got a real screwface goin on listening to this - face taught up tight trying to get to grips with the rather large levels of beauty and then, well, coming out of the woodwork :)
still get chills...every time I hear this. absolutely fantastic song writing
This is another great song...very groovy! Thanks for putting out great music.
Alt-j's music is so enchanting. It's great for studying, I become completely unaware of my surroundings.
Damn, this is good.
This is truly a great song !! love it , wicked cool and very relaxing !!
