LYRICS:
Could you could you come tonight?
Instead of going under
Could you could you come tonight?
Would you think it’d be her last December?
Could it be the way she combs her hair
It must have been the day you lost to care
What if I was the answer to your prayer
Yeah you need a little candor, need a little candor
What if we last till it’s dawn like you promised me
Who let the boys spill their entree?
Dinner is served, can’t you see we’re not opposites
Are you still up thinking of me?
I take all the blame
Is it hard to understand?
When it’s all the same
I’ve played all the games
And lost almost everything
Now I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
Roll with me
Let’s roll
Could you could you come tonight?
I’m counting from the thunder
Could you could you come tonight?
I got a feeling that you know the number
Could I be the best to jump ahead
Your feet are hurting less with moccasins
I never heard another comment since
Yeah you need a little splendor, need a little splendor
What if we last till it’s dawn like you promised me
Who let the boys spill their entree?
Dinner is served, can’t you see we’re not opposites
Are you still up thinking of me?
I take all the blame
Is it hard to understand?
When it’s all the same
I’ve played all the games
And lost almost everything
Now I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
Roll with me
Let’s roll with me
I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
In the middle of the night
Now I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
In the middle of a fight
Can’t you see the sign up on the wall
In the middle of the night
Can’t you see the sign up on the wall
In the middle of a fight
I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
Roll with me
Let’s roll with me
Oh how I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you

Ezra Koenig is the first artist to ever be featured in a Phoenix song. What an honor for him, a major accomplishment no one has ever accomplished before. I absolutely love Phoenix!!
they're straight legends
Actually, Daft punk at their concert was dope! Both from Paris
@@fizzy1037 true! But studio recording though
we have different definitions of the word honor
its because this phoenix album is obviously inspired by vampire weekend's work, they used several references from his work
It’s like the 2008 Phoenix never left. Along with Ezra, this is like the best gift for us indie heads.
This collab is 15 years too late but it's amazing
Right? It feels like a comeback to their roots 👌🏼
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo so what enjoy it
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo Perfect time if anything. This song brought me back to indie after being away for years
phoenix in the studio be like: yeah this is the best song to ever exist. lets drop it
With Lisztomania of course !!
@@laureblau1241 and 1901!
@@GLBizzie Yeah and Rome; Chloroform ; If I ever feel better; Love for granted; Bourgeois; …
Ezra be like ‘Not until I spit some fire bars first’
Alpha Zulu is also best song
I'm not lying when I say this was every Indie fan's dream collaboration
Now if only Alex Turner can feature on a Strokes song
I would love an animal collective and mgmt collab, even if it’s just panda bear or Avey with Ben and Andrew
Vampire Weekend w/ Harlem Shakes
Los Dinos feat. Glaze
This evokes such a 2009-2011 feeling. Love it.
OMG yesss ♥️♥️
Definitely the golden era of indie music.
I'm never leaving
If I like this song, which other songs would I like by Phoenix or any other band? I particularly like when there's a duet.
@@zanfear Hi Zan, I think you would like some of these songs below:
"1901" by Phoenix
"Gimme Twice", by The Royal Concept
"Lisztomania" by Phoenix
"Giving Up The Gun" by Vampire Weekend
"Awkard", by San Cisco
"The Look" by Metronomy
"Goldrushed" by The Royal Concept
"Houdini", by Foster The People
"Forever" by HAIM
This song has the dubious honour of being the last song BBC Radio 6 played before all scheduled programming was suspended to report the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
this song is as fifa as it gets
its a show23 song
Yep
What the funk does that mean
MLB The Show beat ‘em to it .. The Show has an awesome soundtrack every year it’s classics and the new songs they want to push for summer and they usually don’t disappoint
It blends well with a soccer game. One of the songs that was on nhl 22 I added to an mlb 22 the show type music playlist before finding out it was also on mlb the show 22
To me, it has the joy of "It's Never Been Like That" mixed with the pop sensibility of "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" and the daring of "Bankrupt!" This is a masterclass in indie-pop songwriting.
@@josephr7529 he always sounds the same in every song
Such a vibe
Definitely drums from bankrupt too
@@josephr7529 it’s the classic thomas mars double with a bright chorus effect
Indeed, felt the same since first hearing... Awesome!
Thomas and ezra in the same song and the same music video, what a moment to be alive
and the fact that their wife's are working together as well is a moment to be alive
Best song on fifa23 hands down
FIFA 23 brought me here! Top 2 in my opinion though.
@@keithrobin6566Who thinks fc soundtrack is shit and wants fifa 23 back?
the synth is so iconic, takes me back to the 1901 days
classics
@niff you have no idea haha
Lmao 😂
Remember the 1900s? 😹
Seriously though... 2009 doesn't seem that long ago but it is
its like 2008 never ended. man it brings a tear to my eyes. insert overused comment about how things used to be so much simpler, but you actually mean it and arent being ironic.
This is my dream collab. My fiancé just showed this to me and reminded me that when we first started dating I said something like: imagine like a «Vampire Weekend and Phoenix collaboration?» My fiancé got me a engraved "Fior di Latte" case for my Airpods. Crazy that it happened. Just please keep making gems like this. We all love it so much, and I’ve listened to you both since I was 15-16. I’m 33 now, so you guys have been around half of my life up until now, and will still be. I gotta tell you also; I’m 31 months clean and sober from alcohol- and drug addiction, and you were there for me all the time I was alone. I will never turn to drugs and alcohol again, but I will always return to your sonic wonders. Thank you so much. Edit: I edited my comment, and the heart I got from you disappeared, but that meant the world to us! ❤️
I love you❤
@@loviseb.6630 And I love you, angel. ❤️
Congrats on 31 months. I've just over 18 months myself.
@@erscott13 That is a BIG DEAL! ♥️
Congrats!! I wish you the best
This songs slaps way more now in the summer time. Why the hell wasn't this released in the summer. Phoenix is notorious for making summer soundtracks
It was released in summer 2022 lol
This entered my top 5 Fifa Soundtrack songs of all time this year. Love it
FIFA 23 brought me here. Legendary sound track in 23
Knowing that a new Phoenix album will be released soon always has the same effect on me... Happiness !
same, I'm crying
Same!
My Jolly Roger is raised!!
JOY! ❤️
My body is ready
This blew me away. I'll be playing this on repeat for the days and weeks to come. WOW
same, same, same. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hello Dgr
Fifa 2023❤ Best song.
Best song FIFA 23
Life is a bit more sunnier with new Phoenix. It hasn’t been a great ride this year for me… but this band provides the positivity to me and others around the world. Merci ! 🇫🇷🫶🇦🇺
Hope to see one of my favourite drummers, Thomas Hedlund, perform this masterpiece when the band eventually tours Sydney. 🥁💥
Agreed
Watched Hedlund crush this (as he does to every song ever) in NYC and it was magic.
this is probably the best FIFA 23 song for me
Like a modern track from “It’s Never Been Like That” I LOVE IT
This is like "Lost in Translation: The Bromance Edition." I love it.
One of the best songs in FIFA23
It's interesting how the pre-chorus section has 6 measure phrases: "I played all the games / and lost almost everything / now I talk to myself and it's quite surprising", while the chorus & verses use a regular 4 measure phrase. I love the back and forth between vocalists too - great duet 😁
They are gifted. Treasures that must be protected. 💙
First 30 seconds is all you need to love a Pheonix song.
the best mlb the show playlist song by far
Thank you Mr. Vampire Weekend singer for helping to bring Phoenix back to the sound I fell for back in the early 2000’s.
Welcome back 1901 world domination synth! Instantly in love with this song and MV. It makes me wanna call my friends and make plans.
J'ai rien compris.
Omgg… the collab my little pure high school heart didn’t know was possible. 🥲
Shout out class of 2012🫠
Phoenix make me happy! Beautiful, addictive, catchy, joyful music. Been there since the first album. You make life a little bit brighter
I So AGREE !!!!
Two of the indie singers I've listened to the most in the last decade
Also two of the only remaining indie bands that stayed consistently great from the late 00's early 10's
the early 2000's bands have finally collab together!!👏 *crossing fingers* There's more like this in the new album! 🤩
Tdcc, the kooks, arctic monkeys collab when
featuring vocalist of vampire weekend? i’m smiling from ear to ear right now
This is TOO GOOD!!! Can really hear VW's signature sound as well🤩🤩
This song eases the pain of relegation in seasons
3 star g0an D 5
Ooooooopopooo
Easily my fave from fifa 23.
*Phoenix is back let's goooo!* 😩🙏🏻
Phoenix + Ezra = Match Made in Heaven! 💘
This is a hit song…they don’t ever miss…thank you, guys for this…this made my night better.
SAME. JUST HEARD IT FOR THE FIRST TIME 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
it has literally been the first time i smiled this week.💔
PURE POP FUCKING GOLD. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
In minute 3 they drop 3 diferent melodies at same time. Mindblow
This is fantastic... I haven't been that excited about Phoenix post Wolfgang, but this seems like a return to form, and Ezra for the win.
To each, their own for sure but Bankrupt! was a much better album than Wolfgang.
@@TheDaisyfayharper I think that is a scorching hot take.
@@TooManyRecords Says whom? Wolfgang had better and bigger hits but overall, Bankrupt was more buck and less bang.
Phoenix is my favorite modern day band. I first discovered them through Wolfgang and 1901 while in college and it blew me away. I met a great person, we fell in love and she introduced me to "It's Never Been Like That." I had an amazing summer which was accompanied to "Bankrupt!" Now I hear this song and it feels like Phoenix again will be a partner to my life and that makes me very happy. I think of how this band and their music has had such a positive influence on my life and it makes me want to cry - it's why we love and cherish the bands and music we do. -
Phoenix have been my favorite band for over 20 years, cool to see them collaborating with other great artists. Beck next? ^_^
OMFG I'D LOVE THAT COLLAB!!!
or would i? because they just made a MASTERPIECE with this one.🙌🏻💛🤟🏻
2009 called and it approves.
The concert in Chicago last night was amazing. They played this song for the first time live. Absolute legends. Much love for Phoenix.
Damn I didn’t even know they were coming fuck I’m so pissed
They could also come to Prague... 😐
Tonight they played it with Ezra live for the first time, end of their tour.
FIFA 23 BROUGHT ME HERE AND IM SO HAPPY! AWESOME HOLIDAY FEEL SONG
Heard this song yesterday and immediately loved it. This reminds me why I love Phoenix & Vampire Weekend.
Phoenix being Phoenix, great sound , it makes me happy
this is the type of song fifa would play on their playlist, amazing🤩
this seems tailor made for the fifa 23 soundtrack just with the timing, gonna be sad if it’s not on there
@@alexthomas7923 It's already confirmed on there.
@@J--Boy damn can’t wait
bravo, Phoenix coming hard with a new album.
This is the good old Phoenix style I love! 💓Merci beaucoup!

Obsessed with this song. I feel like 2:50 should’ve been the main chorus of this song. Pop perfection
Agree. Chorus at 2:50 is fantastic. Love from Barcelona.
Me too. Love from USA 🇺🇸
This song just got me through my grandfathers funeral. First time I heard it is when I just bought mlb 23 on Xbox
I love Phoenix so much
I will never shut up about it
AMAZING SONG BBYS💗💗💗
The serotonin boost
Ahh. I love this sound. Brings me back to my teenage years in early 2010s * - * Can't wait for the album.
Let's protect the indie bands!
Okay, I just found the most underrated song in music history ngl
My best song in fifa 23 ❤❤❤
ナイスコラボです♪
Banger !!! ✨🔥It’s a pleasure to have Ezra here !
RIP Philippe "Le Capitaine" Zdar ♥️
I bought every fifa game since fifa14 and i must say that fifa23 got one of the best if not the best soundtrack of every fifa game we have seen in the last decade. This is purely personnal but i cant compliment enough the mix of old golden hits pairing with the new fresh and diverse hits, its a marvelous soundtrack. This song is one of my top 3, glad i've got to know Pheonix in 2023.
FIFA 23 dropped this gift
Such an underrated band. Can't wait to see them live.
Underrated? They're like one of the most acclaimed indie rock bands of the last two decades
how are they underrated? they're a huge band worldwide
@@21chucks51 "acclaimed indie rock" band, not just an "acclaimed band" :( I wish we had more indie rock fans in the world.
It’s more indie pop than indie rock btw
They aren't very good live
I have been a fan since reading a Daft Punk interview in 2001 when they were asked what there favourite album was and they said it was Phoenix United - I promptly went out and purchased it so good as I had just ended a five year relationship & I felt half the tracks were written for me , that was 22 years ago and they still sound fantastic
最高！日本で撮影されてることもサプライズ！！ My favorite band ever！
野村訓市も出ててびっくりポン🐸
This might be the best song they've ever released
1901 can't be beat
@@lalotime It's close, hard to judge when I've heard 1901 so many hundreds of times lol
Okay my 2 favorite bands collabing?!?!?!? This is incredible!!!!
This song is so good that its on two video games
I never thought this would happen
Without this band and their music
I'd have been dead long time agoooo
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saw them live in Nashville last week. AMAZING show. Killer musicianship. Go see/hear them live. You'll love that you did.
In love with this song! Ezra's voice is a great plus. ♥
Anyone else here after watching the new Goosebumps show?
Jk, I've been watching this repeatedly over the last year.
Thank you Phoenix for featuring Japan in the video. Super cool that Oscar Boyson shot this. Your show I saw in Osaka was one of the best gigs I ever saw in my life
I needed this….so much. Bless you wonderful Frenchmen!
This is indie rock’s “Under Pressure”
This is amazing and I hope it leads everyone in this realm of the music world toward more collabs.
This will be big in a couple of days and it will garner a lot of attention.
Well Done Boys!
Still got it and never lost it :)
愛するバンドが日本でMVを撮影していた事実に涙がでそう🥲
LiS2からPhoenixを知ったミーハーだけど、これからも応援し続けますBIGLOVE🤍
I can't wait for this album!!!! Love the 80s vibe of this song!
It really reminds Michael Jackson's Beat it lol
@@inbars. yes I totally hear that now!
I was hearing A-ha in the drums
@@laurenacquaviva6519 yup I heard them too!
THE WAY SHE COMBS HER HAIR !!
東京とパリが繫がってる。めっちゃexcite！どちらの街にもピッタリ。とても素敵✨
The perfect fifa song
This is a song that makes me genuinely happy I’m alive to be able to listen to it
I'm in LOVE with the bridge of this song! "I talk to myself and it's quite surprising, in the middle of the night". Sometimes, that's what it takes, some processing at odd hours to help me pay attention to what I'm feeling, with the least amount of distraction possible. Anyways, I'm in love with this track a lot more than Alpa Zulu.
After 10 years of listening to Phoenix it's so cool to hear this song it just brings me back memories of the kind of music they've released
This brings me back to 2009-2012 era of music❤️
The collab I never knew I needed !!! Love it !!!
The chills I got when Ezra dropped the newspaper 😩
best song in fifa 23
FIFA23 yeaaaahh🎉🎉🎉
Fav song from the FIFA soundtrack so far 🔥🔥
This music video is incredibly well made.
Love it!!!! Phoenix and Ezra like peanut butter and jelly.
Fifa is a genre of music at this point.
It’s Phoenix Weekend in “Revenge of 2010” - What a great combo!!
Two of my favorite artists, this couldn’t be more perfect 🥰
