Okay guys, so there's been a lot of comments on this video relating to the rapping part of the song and whether it'd be better with or without it. I know everyone has their opinions, but really it's not the rapping that destroys the song, it's really just the background to it..

In an interview with the music magazine Rock Sound in September 2011 Josh Franceschi said that "Rescue Me" was a low point for the band. "We were basically forced to release a song that we didn't want to", he said. According to Franceschi, the band wanted to end the promotional campaign for Hold Me Down with "Fireworks", a ballad which is the last track of the album, but the label wanted a big radio song. "We got drunk during some time off last year and wrote a song that was like "Airplanes" as a joke", the singer recalled. "We sent the track in and two weeks later we got a call from our label saying it was the best You Me At Six song we'd ever written... Soon enough, we get another call - they're shooting a video for the song". Franceschi said he felt like the band had sold out: "I honestly could not believe I was part of something like that... we've worked too hard getting to where we are to throw it all away because someone who sits in an office thinks he knows more about our fans and our band then we do."

I just wanted to point that out for all the You Me At Six fans who feel as though the band might be becoming too 'mainstream' or whatever, it really wasn't You Me At Six's decision to release the song, it was the record label.
Hope you enjoy the song anyway!
