  General Comment:Agreed with the "when do you know this is love", I also hear instead of "NYC" "Well I see". Might not fit but thats what I hear over "NYC"

  General Comment:Love to see these lyrics written down, never made much sense before.
  Always heard
  
  "Didn't you know this is love?" - just made it all the more emotional but so good as it is.
  
  
  Agreed, Burial getting better and better x

  General Comment:Absolutely beautiful piece of art. The vocal samples are a bit ambiguous. I can hear "When do you know this is love" and "Me and you know this is love" in that first line. It switches up on different listens. Such a haunting song, yet sometimes when I listen to it I feel hopeful and happy. Other times I feel sad and regretful. Probably one of Burial's best yet.

    Yeah, the sample is pretty difficult to interpret, but it totally lends itself to the feel of the song. And I'd like to believe it's not "NYC", but as far as I can tell that's what's being said and it is the name of the song. I just wanted to post this song because I think it's incredible and I was surprised it wasn't already up.
