Criminally underrated tune
Truly one of the greatest dance/pop/indie songs of the last ten years, at least.
Probably why they play it at every show since it came out
Who is underrating it?!?
belle and sebastian are the most underrated band ever
Just the optimal amount of cowbell being used here. Well done!
Gracias a Doble Nueve en Lima -Peru!
I don't understand how this is such a huge departure from Your Cover's Blown or things like Electronic Renaissance on Tigermilk or even some of the more groove-based tracks on Dear Catastrophe Waitress-- it just sounds like Belle and Sebastian having fun to me. I'd also like to say that the new album is fantastic and a huge improvement on Write About Love... I find myself coming back to it over and over and enjoying it every time. You can tell they worked really hard on it, and all of them deserve a big round of applause. Love this single, love the whole album, love Belle and Sebastian!
You are spot on, there are plenty of forerunners to the songs on ''Girls etc" as you point out - I saw them 2 nights ago, and the new tracks, especially "Party Line'', were the highlights of the best B&S show I've ever seen, though perhaps the 30 punters invading the stage during T.B.W.T.A.S. was also pretty good. Live, the dance songs just kill it. Nile Rogers, eat your heart out!
Another gem from Belle & Sebastian.
I don't know why this video and song makes me so sad, but it does it in such a beautiful way.
Why????
Because it's a party and "nobody's here" lend itself to a certain amount of sadness.
“So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die“
Sorta like this, melancholy. From The Smiths, “How Soon Is Now”. Cheers.
Thanks..I know exactly what you mean X
That's the magic of melancholia. It's always 'round, waiting to envelop you with a chilly embrace. Learn it, live it, love it.
One of the coolest best dancing moods I ve ever listened in my whole life and dj career since the 80 S!
People who are commenting about the fact this doesn't sound like Belle & Sebastian I implore you to listen to this with new ears, forgetting what the band sounded like previously. To completely disregard a song based on the songs before it is rather unfair on the song and the band. Music evolves, times change, bands change, unfortunately its part of life. Luckily music is infinitely available in many mediums so if you wish to listen to an older Belle & Sebastian album to get your fix, you may. This song is a truly fantastic song and if it were to come from a newer band that you maybe hadn't have heard of before I sure you'd like it. Don't disregard the song because of some stupid belief that a band should only ever have one sound. This song is fucking amazing and I think it still has a Belle & Sebastian feel, with a new twist. That is all. Peace out peeps.
I think that what makes this song so good is the very fact that it sounds different, but you still have their it factor somewhere. They're fucking geniuses
I'm having a hard time with the fact that so many Belle and Sebastian fans are so close-minded. Last group of people I expected to have a hard time with the new sound.
It's like people don't recall that "Electronic Renaissance" was on Tigermilk, or that through their career they're played with different styles from bluesy sounds to spoken word on the same album at times. Yes, the last couple of albums have been more professionally polished and produced, but you can still hear the core band there.
I may still wish for a professional recording of "Rhoda", but I'm not going to begrudge them where they want to take their sound.
No need to be so prolix about some shoddy piece of music from Belle & Sebastian. It's not about the medium, but rather it's about the musical value that this particular piece of music carries. In contrast with the older Belle & Sebastian material this one severely lacks in originality and has only a paltry musical potency to it. End of.
James Gilmer Electronic Renaissance was excellent. This is not. Its pretty crap really.
Me gustó este nuevo ritmo que están probando Belle and Sebastian con esta canción, a pesar de ser algo super diferente a las notas melancólica a las que nos acostumbraron, siguen conservando el mismo estilo, México escucha a Belle and Sebastian
México siente Belle & Sebastian
@@gxbrmzno frijo-lerou
vi a banda ao vivo pela segunda vez no ano passado, e eles continuam fantásticos
I grew up with this band. Interesting to hear them as they progress. I do like this song.
First single that's made me a serious fan! Buying my first album now. They were okay before, but now I LOVE THEM.
Have you bought the album yet?
+Bruno C. Not yet!
+Bruno C. Finally installing an up to date stereo in my car.
Younge St. 1981. I'M still a kid. Love the disco vibe. Great tune. From Motown.
I love it! It was the first song of theirs that I heard.. Now I listen to them all the time and just about every song.
Probably one of their best tracks... Great they didn't stick to their traditional sound... bands have the right to evolve
Disco love
Hipster disco like arcade sleater decemberists
I found this song playing at the Walgreens I work at and I could not stop dancing!
Ha didn't think i'd find another person who was introduced to this song/band via Walgreens
It's definitely different, but it's still good. Why complain?
+KneeDeepInCyanide hahahahahaha well said
*****
It's true though
+Smiles Different? Different of what, dude?
I love the dancing and the choreography! My friend and I always did ballet and jazz off to the side at our school dances. So much more fun than "step together, step together", which was the incredibly inventive popular move at the time (80's). These dancers are great!
To muito feliz por agora eles terem um vevo
Quem diria, né, fera? Até os caras foram sugados pela "máquina do showbizz"! Não existe mais integridade no mundo artístico. Uma pena...
This and “Enter Sylvia Plath” show that they should do a whole dance album.
First time listening to this band and already in love ❤️. Had no idea they were from the same place as me!!
Wow, I really love Belle and Sebastian... the show in the Corona Capital was amazing... From Mexico city, xoxo
You know what...this has to be the best song during lockdown and absolutely different from earlier tunes produced I fking love it.....I can totally relate to this song, I'm also Londoner and my God do we feel lonely! X
Awesome video. I love the references to the french new wave. The main protagonist of the video even looks extremely similar to Anna Karina.
Anna Karina? Not really!
@@cabrinibruno Maybe it's more of a gives-off-a-similar-vibe thing than a literal physical resemblance?
No matter someone who doesn't like it,I love the song.
And welcome to our country for tour on 2/16
😊
love it! Reminds me of new order or something from the 80s that I would have liked
No puedo creer que en esto se hay convertido una de las mejores bandas.
Saúl Posadas pues si es buenisima esta canción. a mi me mola.distinto.
beatiful and marvelous song
I'm confused how people think this is uncharacteristic of Belle and Sebastian. Their music has always had a 70s-inspired folk-twee edge to it. How is this not a natural progression for their music? I think it's great and deliciously catchy!
Love the camera techniques and costume design in this.
When I worked retail in like 2014 this song played constantly and I loved it so much cause it sounded very 70s disco and it was a great feel good song
They've always been great, and now they're sounding better than ever. LOVE the new B&S sound.
This is the good indie. Ever will be my favorite.
Jump to the beat of the party line :) ¿anyone 2019, 2020, 2021...?
SUCH A GREAT MUSIC VIDEO, LEblanc + Cudmore YOU GUYS ARE TALENTED!
sounds good. Glad I found these guys.
I don’t care if they made indie music or if they had an indie sound but this song is great and the video is awesome!!!
I saw you lovely people at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Michigan yesterday and it was the best show I've ever been to. I love the new sound, too!
LOVE FROM MICHIGAN
This deserves much more views.
Los que vienen por la radio Doble Nueve. 99.1 FM - Lima, Perú. Desde 1979 Like Like :3
+elvis preciado yay soy peruana (mitad) y me gusta mucho su musica :)
***** buscame en el face Elvis preciado ... salgo con lentes :D
Con esta canción conocí a radio Doble nueve, me trae buenos recuerdos :)
C'est très bon chanson. Merci pour la bonne Musique! ♥♪☮
for all those shuddering at the dance vibe, don't forget the GREAT Electronic Renaissance-TigerMilk-
with a super dance vibe
Loving the imagery of this album.
you know I LOVE this because it still sounds like Belle & Sebastian while having a little bit different sound.
Wow, I love this group!
SWEET! this is pretty awesome
Amo demais
Congrats! I just love it. The song & the video.
They r comin to Chicago, Hell yeah. Fun live show. cant wait.
delicious, but it feels very different than the Belle and Sebastian we're used to. they never cease to amaze us
This is truly beautiful
This is fantastic... long time fan.
Everyone needs to stop crying about this song. It's a fantastic song, stop getting upset because it's sounds different, it doesn't mean it's not an incredible song.
I love this little change up by B&S
I love the intro, is it my favourite from B&S, no, but it's not killing me to listen to it either and did I mention, I love the intro. Merry Christmas!
I LOVE this! Superb.
Genios!
Great song from Belle and Sebastian and a little bit of variation is no crime.
shared this on the Facebook page of 10:11 PM - The power of music!
Reminds me of Funny Little Frog in how bittersweet it is. Seemingly so warm and happy, but really, quite sad.
This song is amazing.
toca musicas deles no filme brasileiro "Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho" ambos bom demais!
É aquele filme que tem um homem querendo pegar outro homem?
To be honest, i love reinventions...that is what life is all about...reinventing yourself to make sense of the now..great effort guys xx
Life is not about 'reiventing yourself'!
I love the disco roller vibessss! :D
The Party Line!!
Beautiful song!!
I first heard this piece the day before I met my wife nine years ago. I keep coming back to it and will keep coming back
I remember LOVING this song!
Amazing song and video!
This is... A surprisingly profound video, actually, props.
Hermosa canción!!!!
Essa música é muito legal. Tudo a ver!
Love this song!
The song is so good and the video does it justice.
This is AMAZING o/
Lyrics
How did I get here? I heard a rumour
From your girlfriend's sister that you knew me
And you end up dancing closer to me
I know that I broke the rule already
She asked me if I'm single
Going steady
I just drop my head and took a step off in to the dark
Standing on the black and white tiles
Don't dance on the lights
'Cause the bears eat the pretty ones
We are like the islands, divided
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line
Stay
You stay
I am on this morning quite distracted
The tug of war begins on our emotion
I am leaving many people feeling
Worse than before
People like to drive their cars and smoke up
People like to sit inside and toke up
People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns and knives
I am happy to look and run
Where were you when I was king in this part of town?
Now the days of glory are gone
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Nobody here but your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Nobody here but your body, dear
Congrats on the sound.
This is such a cool song.
That's why this is so great, it's then and now.
latest issue of Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye brought me here. glad alien robots have good taste in earth music
Who came here from the way he looks?
Patrick Darcy k
It's a great song!
Fantastic!
Cadê os fãs BR ouvindo essa música?🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😎
cool song & video :) love it
I’m in love
Loved the Boy with the Arab Strap and Dear Catastrophe Waitress and love this too. I think it's a really good tune and the video suits it well.
I love them ao much
love this song hip or poppy its a happy song,it tells the story of the human spirit .The video is great full of stunningly beautiful girls. i think the main girl smoked too much wacky tobacco though.My mind goes back to sway NYC back in the day with this band
Very different, but still awesome!
Wow came from Unnecessary Drama and this is great
my favourite at the moment
love it
Buenísima canción.
Quiero bailar!
When great bands go pop, it is a trap. Don't let this glittering fool you. They are still making dangerous, transformative and urgent art. #jump
Essa música foi a que eu mais gostei. Vim depois das interações com Anitta.
Surprise me! its amazing song!
I had never even heard of these guys until now. Weird. And they've been around since the 90s apparently
You missed all their good stuff then. Get a time machine and go back to 1996.
Gary Malarkey Their previous albums are still available, so no time machines are necessary.
I don't understand what you mean. Of course literal, actual, and 100% real time machines are necessary. How else are you going to listen to music from the past? It's not like music is going to somehow travel through time on its own just to make things easy for you. Don't be stupid.
Gary Malarkey I'm sorry I....I didn't know.
They got a shout-out in the 2000 movie, "High Fidelity."
Rob, the John Cusack character, apparently loves them; Barry, the obnoxious Jack Black character, apparently does not.

Perfect!
