Recieved it's 'first' play on Radio 1 today and it's the first single to be taken off the re-release of Bad Blood which will be titled All This Bad Blood. I love the song and from a commercial perspective, it is a good choice but it's a bit disappointing to see a lack of new music.

 

I'm disappointed with this. It's a nice enough cover that's been changed from the original but they could've come up with something so much more I feel..

 

Ooh love their two 'Other People's Heartache' side project albums. :)

Well this is odd, never thought this'd be getting a proper single release :o I've always really liked this cover/mash-up though, I remember they also did a Blue Jeans/Requiem For a Dream mash-up and a cover of City's High's 'What Would You Do?' on the same mixtape, both great!

 

Well I don't know what to make of that really :wacko: it's quite brave of them to be releasing it as a single, as it's not something that's often done, but I feel it could go either way for them. Would have been nice to get a brand new song. A bit random of them to change the "it's a source of anger" line too!

Wow :o I love this, it was a top 5 hit in my personal chart back in January, and was featured in an ad for Dancing On Ice iirc. I could definitely see it being a sizeable hit for them, so many 'sound of' artists seem to release covers around Xmas after a big hit and a smaller hit during the year (Ellie and Florence spring to mind with Your Song and You've Got The Love).

I've not liked everything they've done, but this is sheer brilliance!

I'm sorry, but Dan Smith's pronunciation of the word "dancer" just irritates me. He's just too polite.

Poor Southerners and their peculiar ways. :(

I love this. Glad it's finally getting a proper release. I'm off to see them Live on Sunday so hope they play it! :)

Poor Southerners and their peculiar ways. :(

 

It's not just Southerners I have this issue with. Listen to any Snow Patrol song which features the word "stare", "there", or any word which rhymes with those (eg. Spitting Games). It sounds like "stuhr" or "thuhr".

Received that one in the BJ cdswap earlier this year, love to see it released as a single, as it's really quite nice. It seems to be a very love/hate song to quite an extreme degree though.

I prefer their cover of No Scrubs and Blue Jeans/Requiem for a Dream, but this is really great too. Although I agree with others that I would've preferred something original.

Oh yeah that was my one, forgot I'd included it on that :wub:

Love it! Rhythm of the Night deserves a decent retread.

 

Shame it isn't out until 24 November.

I prefer "Requiem for Blue Jeans", but this is still pretty tune-age.

I'm surprised they haven't included 'No One's Here to Sleep' on the re-release, although they probably weren't allowed to. Anyway, 'Of the Night' is fab! Dan's voice is just so beautiful. :wub:

This gets weirder and weirder the more i listen. What a bizarre choice of song to relaunch the album and i just can't get past his pronunciations.

 

Can't say i'm a fan.

Really love this track, its already doing well on pre orders on iTunes so I reckon another top 3 hit is likely!!
