I grew up like any boychild With modest humble conditions And now guild to the ground I have betrodden The globe is spinning on my thumb People rise for me Pull out their eyes for me Hey now People will die for me Fantasise about me Hey now Oh I'm the King of Song Oh yeah Oh I'm the King of Song I'm the King of Song Standing on top of heaps of bodies And piles of people waving my flag Now the multitudes have gathered round me Grateful for each word I preach They will rise for me Pull out their eyes for me Hey now They will die for me Fantasise about me Hey now Oh I'm the King of Song Oh yeah Oh I'm the King of Song I'm the King of Song I am the King of singing Oh the King of Song I'm the King of Song
It's intentionally so, it's satirical. He's acting out the burden of fame and perhaps a crisis of guilt with his various guttural grunting and sobbing. He's in a sense mocking himself as a mythical character of worship, last of his kind sort of thing. I'm not sure I would enjoy it without the video accompaniment though.
Don't know what to think about this, not awfull for sure, great nick cave vibe, but without the fury of iceage Elias vocals/yelling/mowning are at the limit of sounding ridiculous, not there yet but the sauce is not taking me as good as it did with Iceage.
jonas rodriguez He kinda is a jerk, read an interview about him, not hating on him but he sounded very arrogant and like a diva. Shame, before i could have said he was badass, it ruined the fury and Punkness light i saw him in, But i could do without him, what blows me away is the groundbreaking sound
I grew up like any boychild
With modest humble conditions
And now guild to the ground I have betrodden
The globe is spinning on my thumb
People rise for me
Pull out their eyes for me
Hey now
People will die for me
Fantasise about me
Hey now
Oh I'm the King of Song
Oh yeah
Oh I'm the King of Song
I'm the King of Song
Standing on top of heaps of bodies
And piles of people waving my flag
Now the multitudes have gathered round me
Grateful for each word I preach
They will rise for me
Pull out their eyes for me
Hey now
They will die for me
Fantasise about me
Hey now
Oh I'm the King of Song
Oh yeah
Oh I'm the King of Song
I'm the King of Song
I am the King of singing
Oh the King of Song
I'm the King of Song
Well I most definitely fantasize about him, that's for sure... Definitely one of the best frontmen in the modern era.
Posh Isolation and Sacred Bones are my favorite record labels. A&R knows what’s up.
This is the best single of the last ten years.
You're the king Elias, you're the king
HUUUHEHUUUUUHUUU

🎧▶🎶🌙

blue pom lol
wow nick cave!
+rikhardur lmao ok bub
he reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio in his "Romeo & Juliette" years
in your face autotune generation
love the vibe of all their music but the over the top vocals kill it for me. Such a shame
Agreed. intentionally awful ? coasting on his pretty boy posturing ?

Evan Egan Hmmmmmmmm Interesting
I get satire and self deprecation, like it in literature and practice it on myself LOL !
Definitely a George Michael influence here
expression .
I can't tell if I like this guy or not...
You gotta love him
+Persuasive Barrier I think if you put it into the context of the song/lyrics, its quite appropriate. Usually what music videos are for.
sexy
it's kinda ok
Young Americans from David Bowie?
Puce Mary tho
....Someone wanna send help to this guy?

And he look like a boys band jerk, yeah, that's right, i said it
jonas rodriguez so? lol
I think that's all
+jonas rodriguez Good to know
jonas rodriguez He kinda is a jerk,

None likes this song I don't know why they listen to this uh
this is terrible but made me laugh real hard
Same here. I stop by whenever I need a good laugh .
GhostCharacter I believe that was the point
its the ugliness of his voice that makes it good, but that's me
Pateties.
I can't decide whether or not I like this song... the tune come off a little pretentious.
+zeppelin4790 you like it
+I ll You're right
In fact, I'd favorited the video.
+zeppelin4790 It kinda remember Bowie plus Nick Cave, idk
Reminds me of American Music Club.
