#LikeClockwork
when you own the world. you're always home. that's the best line
Agreed!
I love that line too. For its simplicity it conveys a lot.
Are you folks actually listening? Come the fuck on?!??
@@tappytibbon927 wdym what does it mean for you ?
for me it conveys loneliness
Boneface did the illustration.
Liam Brazier (me, *waves*) did the animation.
Some other guys brought the noise..
What’s the animation style called?
@@kistephen6365 I dunno. I’ll take ‘gruesome’...
It’s animated in Ae from layered PSDs.
Awesome man, I just want to say the style and feel that you brought to the table was addictive.
I must have watched the entire thing 20-30 times when it originally came out.
I was HOOKED on every vid/song.
Thank you.
Sincerely.
@@felixvasquez1797 Appreciate that. It was certainly a stressful rush while we were doing them but ultimately wouldn’t change the experience for anything.
you've done a great job man, i really love the animation!
Hard to believe this came out nearly two years ago. I remember there was a lot of hype surrounding the album and I can safely say that all of the hype was justified; one of the best rock albums in a long time.

Can't believe this comment was made 2 years ago, I remember first finding out these music videos a year after the album itself came out, made it that much more enjoyable.
fard heria can't believe this comment was a week ago. I remember
i can't believe how long time has passed since the last comment, holy shit
Geez how time flies. 5 days ago this comment was made. geez Ill never forget though.
qotsa is one of the most unique rock bands left out there, Josh has the mentality that he can't put out the same type of material every album and to people like me that is pure gold. I have loved this band from first album to the sad day when they decide to call it quits.
+Jason Kerchenko Aye, it's the same reason I like musicians like PJ Harvey, Radiohead, Massive Attack etc. They keep it fresh.
They have listened to a lot of CREAM
They called it quits?
Jason Kavgazoff no they didnt
The coolest. I cannot miss a tour...
Lanegan, Homme, Oliveri and Turner all on this song. What a masterpiece
And Dave Grohl damnit!!!
Oliveri isnt in this song
@@ddvin5872 Oliveri did some backing vocal on this song. check wikipedia
Lanegan is in this song? Is he harmonizing on the chorus? I'm surprised I didn't know after all these years. Nevermind, I can hear him now 😂😂😂
This song is still so incredible on so many levels.
I miss High School Sometime's.
This is timeless…
Right?? So damn good. Reminds me of those badass high school kids in the rock n roll 80’s! 🥀⚡️
Rock and roll fellas
Unbelievably dark, yet Beautiful.
A perfect song for a perfect album.
Sums up all QOTSA
Showed it to a girl and she said it was romantic in a macabre sort of way.
Everything in this song is amazing.
I've also noticed that this new album has some incredible lyrics.
"Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same." Beautiful.
These guys are saving Rock N Roll, God bless them.
still doin it now, so ill bring you back
Having a mostly pop or electronic ear, I am not an easy fan of rock music. But this here is one of the best rock songs I have ever heard.
This song and music video helped me through a seriously painful and difficult and self destructive time in my life.
Glad your still here brother. Peace.
Best wishes to you and hope you are ok
The starting of this song is just perfect for driving down the highway. Love it.
that what am doing in the dark streets with lights
I think this is a band that will def be considered classic rock in the future
It's already a classic... old man 👽
@@SethVivianBarker this comment hit hard 😨😅
Hey person from the future hear the song does end up becoming a classic
🚬
👌🏽
can confirm
"If I Had A Tail"
Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo run run
You wont get far
I'm machine obsolete
The land of the free
Lobotomy
I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I want to grind and I want to spit
Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same
It's how you look
Not how you feel
A city of glass
With no heart...
If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo run run
You won't get far
Animals in the midnight zone
When you own the world
You're always home
Get your hands dirty
Roll up them sleeves
Brainwashed or true believers?
Buy flash cars
Diamond rings
Expensive holes to bury things
I'm machine obsolete
The land of the free
Immortality
If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies
Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
See me dance along the stars?
See me dance?
If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night
When we have a tail
We will control...
Think it's " itchy gitchy"..maybe?
Thanks 😊
Thanks
Thought it was goochy goochy lol
Nobody comes close to these guys! It's just the absolute truth!
After losing his friends, Skeletor didn't seem to take being rejected by the car driver too well.
Shimano Comedy gold.
"Fights are fun."
-Skeletor
Just so happens that Skeletor had a bazooka up his sleeve
Thanks for making me piss my pants Mundane.
I remember when QOTSA announce this new album, was all day watching over and over again all this videos...
When you own the world you're always home lol. What a great line!!!!
This
Song
Is
Absolute
Perfection 👌
💜😍💎 Cover song 🎤🎧 for You
The guitar intro is out for blood god damn
The guitar intro is coming out of it's cage and it's been doing just fine.
its like the killers - Mr Brightside 😅
One of the best songs ever written IMO
Everything about this song is fucking awesome.
Rick Ω I think the one of the best tracks I’ve ever heard. Anywhere!
@@benn8516 just discovered it - what a tune
Agreed.
Holy hell, I'm obsessed with this song!
Best concert LIVE ever!! Josh admitted after this song ended last month here in Houston that it's the "most fun for him to play/sing right now"!! My smile is still there from hearing him say that!)) Peace))
Boneface did an OUTSTANDING job on these graphics!! and the song is PERFECT to me!))
5 millionth time listening never gets tired of it
The groove on this is really, really Stones-esque. Like, 1969 Keith Richards style. I dig it a lot.
Absolutely, I thought exactly the same especially at 1:40 mark. It's just pure Stones.
@@meditate_ibz that’s Gimmie Shelter guitar solo!
I feel more Bowie tbh
I thought i was the only one who thought this sounds like Gimme Shelter
@@daandelange6869 The car in the video even has the Ziggy Stardust makeup
These tracks are just bloody irresistible. They reach out and grab you, and it is awesome to surrender to them.
I always listen to this and Monsters in The Parasol back to back.
La capacidad que tiene Queens of the Stone Age de sonar tan frescos como adolescentes es impresionante.
Esta seguramente es de las mejores canciones que han escrito y sin duda en estos días es mi favorita.
Cuando aparece un disco nuevo de los chicos de palm desert el resto de las bandas desaparece... así de simple!
2021 we still here
2022 we still here
2023 In Times New Roman, still here
2023, i appear missing Is the best
this is the only band ever able to turn every album into a masterpiece, Qotsa should be a religion
Petition to make qotsa the sun
It is!
QOTSA have been a favourite band of mine since their early years. They’re a wonderful group of guys and did a live performance after an interview via CFOX Radio Station‘s Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Still one of the best albums ever, let alone the graphic music video that tells a whole story with animation and the songs.
"If I had a Tail" speaks to my soul
Every time I listen to this song only once, it sings in my head for 5 days every day morning to evening. How did they do it i wonder...
That intro is haunting love and God bless from England
"Buy flash cars. Diamond rings. Expensive holes to bury things."
Man.. the weight those words hold.
obsessed
This song grew on me; I freaking love it now!
AWESOME...FIRST TIME FOR THIS BAND.
This album changed my life
He sings at the end of the song!
When the song finishes, Alex Turner fades in singing "*something* I will, control the night" and then a woman's voice says "control" over and over getting louder and louder! It's creepy and then suddenly 'My God Is the Sun' starts!
I've got the album AND i've pre ordered, you'll see soon! I hope this helps :D
That “woman” is Nick Oliveri lol. No judgement though, I see what you mean. Your comment made me think twice
"Tears of pleasure, tears of pain...".
It is my favorite line in this song.
Just heard this song on the opening credits of the Peacock series "Wolf Like Me"... 🤙!
This is the best song ever.
Trying to collect all my favorite CDs after a rough break up.... Some of these are kinda hard to recover.
This is my favourite song at the moment, perfection.
Every line in this song is just killer
This has to be another one of my favorite songs by QOTSA. There's so many. It's difficult to find a band with this much swagger.
I used to listen to this song in my dads old red dodge ram but he had to sell it becuase i had brothers but this song gives me the nostalgia of it and that red dodge still lives in my memories
*Josh Homme: Lead vocals, guitar. *Alex Turner: backing vocals, guitar. *Dave Grohl: Drums, percussion. *Nick Oliveri: backing vocals. *Mark Lanegan: vocals. Is there a more awesome fuckin' line-up than this, filled with pure rockstars??
One of the best bands of the past few decades. Love this track.
This song is the closest we got to the Songs For The Deaf - Line Up, because we have Dave Grohl on drums, Nick Oliveri and Mark Lenegan providing backing vocals and obviously Josh Homme doing guitars and lead vocals (and of course Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita and Michael Shuman doing their respective jobs, but you get the point xD). Great tune ^^
^ yep and it shows
Good old Grohl
Dont forget Alex Turner on the backing vocals
Hey, it's 2024 and this song is still the absolute best. With love from the future 💖
True brilliant music
The outro on this song is incredible. The beginning is incredible too but the build up and change in the end just blows my away.
Great song, love it.
When I first heard it on the radio, I thought it was Talking Heads, Josh Homme channeling David Byrne perhaps?
Sick song & film clip.
i love this song so strong
First, QotSA is a GREAT band. For me, out of all of their songs made so far...launched to my favorite....love love love this song. When I got the album I didn't make the CD go past this song for the next 4 hours STG. I just had it on repeat.
Vocals sound like a young Bowie
When I hear the first 2 seconds I always think "Mr. Brightside" is coming on. Then something much better happens.
Love Queens (although I arrived at the party late). Check out the feel, the aura if you will; and the voice and this could have been released on Diamond Dogs by Bowie and if you didn't know better you'd swear this was Bowiesk. Cheerz !
Better late than never at all ☺
A brilliant example of an excellent film clip complimenting an outstanding song.
Anyone else CLEARLY hear Mark Lanegan's deep ass voice powering through everyone else in the chorus at 1:24?
I've heard the full album and I LOVE it... 'Smooth Sailing', 'If I Had A Tail', 'My God Is The Sun', 'I Sat By The Ocean' and I Appear Missing' stand out for me... so far!
The videos for each song make the songs so much better, I love all of the art style and dark tones of the videos!
I love this song so much. This, I appear missing and smooth sailing hafta be my favorite tracks off of the cd....like clockwork is amazing!
This is an awesome song....
man i love this tune
best fuckin line at 2:11 "when you own the world, you're always home" LOVE IT !!!
cant stop listening to this song and yes even better in the car!!!
Looking back on this eight years after my last comment, and my last time watching this video,
1. This is still amazing
2. Given the state the world, I would now please like to go and live in the twilight limbo of whatever afterlife this depicts.
I don't think I've ever replayed any song more than this one.
one of the best ever
I love how Queens of the stone age still make Stoner Rock, it always feel like its 2000’s vibe
The music production is constant, thats what I love the most.
Thats why I have love for this band, Josh Homme, keep it up 🤍
one of the best songs to walk like a badass
Got ...Like Clockwork today in the mail.... The Best Queens Album thus far...
Absolutely amazing song 😈
My favorite music video of 2013, so far. One of my favorite tracks too.
The bar brawler always smiled, bc he knew he would keep doing it all like clockwork, plus he is like an endurance powerhouse
The first time I heard that song and I watch the video I was fell in love with Queens of the Stone from that point on my number-one band they're planted Daytona this weekend I'm going to sober living facility! God works in mysterious
This song makes me tingle...
Thanks! At the time that I posted that I hadn't seen the 15 min short. I have since watched it. I have to admit that is was fun to watch all the vids separately and piece them together to find the order.
Definitely my favorite among the new songs! So damn groovy and addictive, love it.
Wow brilliant song and video coooooooooooooool
Like has been said by others, I don't know why but this band was not brought to my attention until recently. I had no idea what I was missing. Quickly becoming one of my favorite bands as I play catch up. Recently I was traveling and heard them on a local station (which apparently plays better music than I get at home). Then, if it wasn't for Dave Grohl doing the Sonic Highways series and featuring Kyruss and Josh Homme I probably wouldn't have put it all together and start to seek out QOTSA music. Glad I did.
Love the lyrics to this song, he must’ve been really inspired when he wrote them, great body of work is “like clockwork”!!!
The thumbnail of this video looks like it's from a puppet animation of "Kratos" from God of War.
I REALLY LOVE THAT SONGS AND THIS BANDS THANKS QUEENSOFTHESTONEAGE
To me, this song is written in the perspective of somebody imagining he were the Antichrist or the Devil (if I had a tail - devil is usually depicted with tail) who's saying how easy it is to distract humans with materialism and really not needing to because we do it to ourselves. He's also gloating about how we'd make it simple for him to be able to run the world.
been playing drums to this for a month!!!! sigh... it's so lovely
Que tremendo tema!
BAD.ASS. 🖤⚡️ Reminds me of those cool rock n roll high school kids in the 80s 🥀
QOSTA = Awesome
agree
as in Queens Of Stone The Age...?
I thought that would be QOTSA, but what do I know?
I know, everyone makes them sometimes. I just joked around it
My immediate thought was "Quiches of southern Tennessee association" is awesome, which threw me, but then I saw what you wrote underneath and understood.
So much groove
Just love this dirty beat !!!
I love the visual style for the videos for this wicked album.
what a great song👍
Does anybody else notice the Talking Heads Psycho Killer connection? I absolutely love this song.
I showed this to my dad and he thought it was Talking Heads.
@@Megaalith I forgot I had this account. Thanks for reminding me.
@@Pine_Gap_Island talking head psychos ?
If I had some tail. Just saw the concert at Coachella, these guys are awesome live.
BEST !!!
Queens Of The Stone Age-
is best band on WORLD!!
I love Queens with all my heart. They are the only thing keeping me from going insane.
