	this song as i recently heard on xfm.. is about el capitan in california.. it is the largest free standing cliff face in north america and it is a place where alot of people killed themselves.. and he talks about it being a glamourous death... and talking about the person who is bringing themselves up to face this cliff and the build up to there jump off.. its along those lines

	This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. It sounds weird but it makes my heart flutter - never knew it was about suicide though. I always imagined it was about someone refelcting on a holiday or a time he spent with friends whilst he's alone and feeling low. oh well. It's an amazing song. 1

	thank you freedom-fighter, i always loved this song but i never knew what el capitan was! i mean i kind of figured this song was about suicide, but i never bothered to think about what it actually was... stupid really. but now it means a lot more... it's weird, this song is so catchy and singalongable yet it's about such a depressing subject.

	Idlewild seem to go unnoticed and are much better than other bands out there nowadays. This is a great song, it kinda glamourises suicide in a strange way.

	its not only about the suicide its about the time before it, the feeling of loneliness "at least im in good company, because theres no one else around - except me" a great lyric, a great song
