Man, this band gives me that "I'm glad I'm alive" vibe. Also I'm happy we're living at the same time with this band so we could listen to their music. And I absolutelly in love with your drummer, she has such a lovely voice, it was a surprice. I really like female vocals in such songs, so I hope you include some of her vocals in upcoming albums. Cheers from your biggest fans from Russia! I've visited China once in 2016 but unfortunatelly didn't manage to catch you guys, but I'll hope for the next time! Peace!
Below are my translations, I tried to stay close to the original words/sentence structures in Chinese. Enjoy :) 0:21 Hello everyone, we are Chinese Football. 0:47 (Xu Bo, vocalist/guitarist) I myself is a Wuhan native who was born and raised in Wuhan. Wuhan has this ordinary/rural side, as well as the tall-building (modern) side. 1:02 Wuhan embraces "big" and "small". I think this is also sort of connected to the root of our music, in that our music is also inclusive. 1:13 Speaking of Wuhan, my childhood memory is inseparable from the (Yangtze) river ever since I can remember. I have a special feeling towards the ferry, or the river. I've been taking the ferry to commute between Wuchang and Hankou as I grow up. It's also a very traditional form of transportation. Now many people still take the ferry to work everyday. It's closely related to the lives of people in Wuhan. 2:10 (Ferry Captain) The guy who's swimming, you see I'm coming. Swim faster, swim faster. The earliest historical record (about this ferry) dates back to 1900. So it has been functioning for 118 years. The history is quite long, more than a century. We feel very proud. 2:34 (Xu Bo, vocalist/guitarist) The song "Electronic Girl", she's actually a fictitious character that I conceived. Very vibrant, uplifting that kind of feeling, so it makes me feel full of hope. She often doubts herself - she doubts that she's electronic, or as if she's powered by a clockwork motor. During the lifetime, there are actually many things that one can't choose proactively. She'll be the same as everyone else, going through life experience that's almost identical (to that of other people), and do almost the same stuff that others do. But sometimes, her doubts are cleared, because other than humans, some other animals, they are all living their lives in ways that they are supposed to. The more one thinks, the more upset one becomes. Just let things be, it's not that complicated. The moment a person is born, he stands on a stage, and makes a debut. 4:20 (little girl) Wow, there are drums!
I love this band so much. Saw them a few weeks back here in the Philippines for the second time. This mini documentary is such a good watch. Really want to go to China in the future for a vacation. Wuhan seems like such a chill place.
Vengo de bandcamp, no se si me entiendan, de por si es complicado tratar de entender ingles no me imagino como seria entender español para ustedes. Vengo de escucharlos y la verdad tienen una música asombrosa, ojala lleguen alto los súper amo ;-; por fa jamás dejen de tocar
I gotta say, ya'll are even better than American Football. You have a much more dynamic, creative, catchy, and rounded tone. This performance was nothing short of incredible. Please tour in the US!! I will travel to see you guys.
They were talking about their life in Wuhan city where the band was rooted and the band members grew up. A lot of clips in the video are typical looks of streets in Wuhan and how people live there. They put on a live show on a ferry boat which is a traditional transportation in Wuhan to cross the Changjiang river. The ferry boats have been working for over 100 years and have been in the memory of Wuhan for generations of people there, so they decided to put on a show on the boat.
And Xu Bo also shared his thought he had when he wrote the song "Electronic Girl". It's mainly about a fictional electronic girl who worries herself being wind-up and having no control of her life, doing the same thing every day. And this part of the video just randomly shows the faces of people on the ferry boat and the streets of Wuhan, making me think of the life of every ordinary people like myself, or those on the ferry boat going to work each morning. This is such a brilliant video, each footage is related to the sentence being said, I hope there will be subtitles added to it.
ChineseFootball Official Channel please :), I may not understand what your lyrics are about, but my god I can tell that your music is very sincere and heartfelt. I’d love to see u like :))
It makes me so sad watching this today when the city is quarantined and breaking down
Its really cool how a band all the way from China plays Midwest Emo and does it better than a lot of the American bands
check out the band luzma' fron chicago
agreed
probably because it isnt midwest emo...
American football
EXACTLY

4:20 (little girl) Wow, there are drums!
Thank you so much!!
几个月前从武大毕业了，毕业答辩的前一天晚上去了prison看了那场免费演出。现在身在美国，看到这个视频，真好。
14年在学校的小场地看了国足的演出，当时纳闷极了，觉得这歌怎么没人唱啊。录下来后回去反复听，突然有一天就听明白了。算是从那以后，入了后摇的坑。今年在一个音乐节上再次看到国足，他们越来越好了，我在台下是说不出的感动。作为一个土生土长的武汉人，看到国足把属于武汉的后摇带到更远的地方，在高兴之余还有一些想回家。国足加油，徐波加油 ：）
I feel like at the end of the song he should have said "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are going to love it!"
I had no idea your drummer had such a beautiful singing voice!
As a Wuhan native, it sounds nostalgic to me. Thank you for bringing "Wuhan post-rock" to higher and farther places.
The English subtitle is up and running folks!
I LOVE CHINESE FOOTBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
We all do

I love this band so much. Saw them a few weeks back here in the Philippines for the second time. This mini documentary is such a good watch. Really want to go to China in the future for a vacation. Wuhan seems like such a chill place.
