I had forgotten the fact that Pop can be this. Relentless. Never ending simple basses. Vague references to the self. The nothingness. i was a dreamer. LEFT!
“I was a dreamer, Watch me leave...” Love this song and the guitar work during the above refrain reminds me of the incredible guitar work by the Cocteau Twins. That amazing ethereal “twang”. Awesome. This is what GOOD music sounds like.
La primera vez q escuché a Depeche Mode y a New Order hace 20 años cambiaron mi vida respecto a la música. Esta canción y Destroyer en general hacen que vuelva a sentir lo mismo. Q buena canción
This beautiful song , combined with the video of Vancouver’s La Jetee-ish “Tinseltown” is a delicious smorgasbord of painful nostalgia. Strangely familiar déjà vu. Thank you, Destroyer.
It didn´t: Sigue SIgue Sputnik (of all bands!) did it in the late 1980´s with their video of Dancerama! They had a slightly bigger budget, but not the song to back it up: ua-cam.com/video/KIaUTR3YsGo/v-deo.html
Well, it was "remade" as a music promo video by non other band than Sigue Sigue Sputnik in 1988 (it comes with the warning: Danger! Art Video follows") Dancerama by Sigue Sigue Sputnik: ua-cam.com/video/o86b_V-OXt4/v-deo.html To those asking about the source: The film is La Jetée by Chris Marker. A science-fiction short film form 1962. The film is remarkable for many reasons: It´s made entirely of b/w still photography (except for one scene) and it was remade by Terry Gilliam as Twelve Monkeys.
Lyrics Tinseltown swimming in blood Tinsel ribbons dancing in the rain Flowers on the skyline, hey how was the wine? What comes round's going round again Towers coming up for air I couldn't see, I was blind Off in the corner, doing poet's work That's alright for now It was just a dream of your blue eyes I couldn't see, I was blind Off in the corner, doing poet's work That's alright for now It was just a dream of your blue eyes Tinseltown dripping in blood Tinsel women dancing in the wind Dead flowers on the skyline Hey how was the wine, baby? What comes round is going round again Now let me tell you about the dream I had no feeling, I had no past I was the arctic, I was the vast Spaces without reprieve I was a dreamer, watch me leave I was a dreamer, watch me leave I was a dreamer, watch me leave I was a dreamer, watch me leave I was a dreamer, watch me leave I was a dreamer, watch me leave
What a phenomenal video! I hope it has won some award. In my head it has. I know it does an homage to La Jetee. Wonderful abstractness and timelessness.

My homie found the song Kaputt I heard it , loved it and Now I keep finding more and more of destroyers Gems 💎 one of my favorite bands now . Thanks guys !
And all of a sudden I realized that it was Marker's "La Jetée". Well done, Karen Zolo and Dan Bejar. By the way, Savage Night at the Opera is such a great nod to "C'était Un Rendez-Vous".
Oh ok, I had a feeling this video was referencing something, that it was a bit too random to just be a music video. I looked up the movie you’re talking about, looks very interesting, I’m gonna watch it now.👍👍🙏
That trumpet cuts through every other noise on Earth, and puts me at ease, so unbelievably magical. I've heard it before in an ltj bukem track years ago. What is the original source?
@@lainisourgod I came to this song after listening to Circles by Post Malone, for some reason the opening of that song sounds a lot like this one to me. Maybe that's why you think you've heard it before?
Esta cancion me trae recuerdos de una vida muy diferente para mi. Pienso, como todo puede cambiar en cinco años y los seres que amabas ya no esten contigo.
I love this song and, perhaps unique in Destoyer songs, there is an odd time signature thing happening during the "off in the corner doing poet's work.." how is that counted? I'm not much of a musician, so I am a little mystified by which measures are which.
My best guess is that it's switching between 4/4 and 7/8. So going from 1:06 to 1:22, we've got 3 measures of 4/4 1 measure of 7/8 1 measure of 4/4 1 measure of 7/8 2 measures of 4/4
This guy is so underrated. This is breathtaking stuff.
Underrated music isn’t it. Classic ❤
Absolutely
lol
The feeling of finding someone you can love forever. But sadness of missing them and nostaligia of being under the tree, I'm grateful.
This is my song of the decade, and maybe beyond.
I'm re- living MTV 120 minutes all over again.
I had forgotten the fact that Pop can be this. Relentless. Never ending simple basses. Vague references to the self. The nothingness. i was a dreamer. LEFT!
This song feels new, but it also feels like I've known it my whole life
I only just read this comment, but you basically summed up exactly how I feel about this song :). Soooo good!
I know :::cry:::
Which one?
@@Janita-Pt kangaroo by mortal coil
It borrows heavily from New Order
“I was a dreamer,
Watch me leave...”
Love this song and the guitar work during the above refrain reminds me of the incredible guitar work by the Cocteau Twins. That amazing ethereal “twang”. Awesome. This is what GOOD music sounds like.
Reminiscent the bass tone and lines of The Cure and Sisters of Mercy.
Nice catch ^_^
I'm so glad I found this song, I could only remember a couple words, I googled it and it brought me here
“I could only remember a few words” - wait! That’s every Dan Bejar song!
I love this riff and the lyrics. The horn suddenly appears and it the melody is complete.
Always looking for good music brings me back to my youth, now I'm there! Perfect harmony, perfect sound. Gracias.!
I've fallen in love with this song.
agutterfan right!?

its different colorless photo shots ,the instruments, and the lyrics its all good to me .nice song i like it.
who loves Dan Bejar as much as I do?
me
Me too
Los Joy Division del siglo XXI.
Brillantes.
Cada disco es distinto y mejor.
"A saucerfull of secrets"
Wow… this is beautiful
Still find myself coming back to this. A mix of Joy Division, New Order with vocals sounding like Lou Reed. 🤌🏼🤌🏼
I feel like this song's message is pretty esoteric
the tower, the world (whats comes round again), the lovers, the star
How did it take music videos 37 years to just do a straight up remake of this film. Well done!!!

What’s the film?
For real - what's the film?
Well, it was "remade" as a music promo video by non other band than Sigue Sigue Sputnik in 1988 (it comes with the warning: Danger! Art Video follows")

Lyrics
Tinseltown swimming in blood
Tinsel ribbons dancing in the rain
Flowers on the skyline, hey how was the wine?
What comes round's going round again
Towers coming up for air
I couldn't see, I was blind
Off in the corner, doing poet's work
That's alright for now
It was just a dream of your blue eyes
I couldn't see, I was blind
Off in the corner, doing poet's work
That's alright for now
It was just a dream of your blue eyes
Tinseltown dripping in blood
Tinsel women dancing in the wind
Dead flowers on the skyline
Hey how was the wine, baby?
What comes round is going round again
Now let me tell you about the dream
I had no feeling, I had no past
I was the arctic, I was the vast
Spaces without reprieve
I was a dreamer, watch me leave
I was a dreamer, watch me leave
I was a dreamer, watch me leave
I was a dreamer, watch me leave
I was a dreamer, watch me leave
I was a dreamer, watch me leave
❤
Good job, Destroyer! is the best in this time

Grandios! Musik und Video! I love this song!
Sweet tribute to Le Jete
Your favourite artist favourite artist 😊
What a phenomenal video! I hope it has won some award. In my head it has. I know it does an homage to La Jetee. Wonderful abstractness and timelessness.
Linda canción!
Excelente!
Inolvidable!
Our last concert before Covid killed live music. Really enjoyed the show.
Tinseltown swimming in blood

That's alright for now
It was just a dream of your blue eyes
Tinseltown dripping in blood
Tinsel women dancing in the wind

Now let me tell you about the dream:
I had no feeling, I had no past
I was the arctic, I was the vast
Spaces without reprieve
I was a dreamer
Watch me leave
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this 😊🙌🏻
My homie found the song Kaputt I heard it , loved it and Now I keep finding more and more of destroyers Gems 💎 one of my favorite bands now . Thanks guys !
And all of a sudden I realized that it was Marker's "La Jetée". Well done, Karen Zolo and Dan Bejar. By the way, Savage Night at the Opera is such a great nod to "C'était Un Rendez-Vous".
Oh ok, I had a feeling this video was referencing something, that it was a bit too random to just be a music video. I looked up the movie you’re talking about, looks very interesting, I’m gonna watch it now.👍👍🙏
Sounds like New Order with just a hint of OMD. Lovely song!
Exactly. The Hooky bass with Moby on vocals.
No.
Yes it does sound like New Order. The stylings are straight off New Order's first album Movement.
Bruuuuuuuh Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark is one of my favorites
I couldn't see/ i was blind / off in the corner doing poet's work / that's all right for now
SO GOOD
Beautiful song & video!
Can a song be more worthy of obsession than this one?
I love that the video is a reference to La Jetee.
Para los compatriotas de Perú, el intro de esa canción me hizo recordad a una canción de Dolores Delirio - No ves el sol... Saludos Radio Doble Nueve.
gracias por el dato!, sin querer, un buen hallazgo.
Wow...Lou Reed and New Order love child.
LOL
Great results, btw.
accurate
I have huge vibes of Birthday by The Sugarcubes too.
I'm older. I've got huge vibes of Boys Next Door "Shivers" just sped up a bit.
The movie Kicking Blood brought me here! Thought this was a Joy Division or New Order song at first. Nice to discover this song/band!
Beautiful track
La mejor radio la mejor, grandes momentos y los rankings locazos, tal vez un resurrection sunday grandioso
and that death scene...I’m gonna watch it again
This song is top notch . 👌
very nice eighties sound and fine song
Epic tune.
Mesmerizing. x
Fantastic Song
buen tema, de los pocos buenos de doble 9 en la actualidad
Yo también conocí esta rola por doble nueve
'your first love's new order'
Hackjaw what do you mean?
The song sounds like New Order and he's quoting a Destroyer lyric.
Definitely hearing some Age of Consent in there.
MUY BUENO LIMA PERU
número 2 del ranking de radio doble 9 del año 2018
That bass line...
WORD
Destroyer signature
Peter Hook. Manchester
wonderfully uplifting! I am sharing it now, this electronic just kills gravity
Those drums.
Amazing work
That trumpet cuts through every other noise on Earth, and puts me at ease, so unbelievably magical. I've heard it before in an ltj bukem track years ago. What is the original source?
This song is the original source. They don’t sample. You probably just heard something similar
I feel like I've heard it too. It seems that I've heard it in some animation video but don't know where... It hurts so much to not find it
@@lainisourgod I came to this song after listening to Circles by Post Malone, for some reason the opening of that song sounds a lot like this one to me. Maybe that's why you think you've heard it before?
@@AdrianCuyubambaDiaz no they are talking about the Trumpet that it sounds like a melody they have heard before.
Wow. Beautiful
Love it so fmuch
Excelent music!!!! Oroya city present !
heard this on CBC radio. . . reminds of Pet Shop Boys... great sound!
Daniel Tynan intresting comment
Daniel Tynan lol
Daniel Tynan
Pet shop boys?
Screams New Order to me!

It is indeed a trumpet. He plays fantastic live.
meravigliosa!
Is new wave on the come back?

Chill music.☺️😊
I love this song
I love this song!
amazing band...
Esta cancion me trae recuerdos de una vida muy diferente para mi. Pienso, como todo puede cambiar en cinco años y los seres que amabas ya no esten contigo.
One I first heard this song on the radio, I thought it was Gary Numan at first. Great song!
Yeah can definitely hear some New Order. Great song.
Good job, Destroyer!
AWESOME!!!
Great song !! remembers me New Order.
PERFECT
Reminds me of Bowie a bit!
True
Stop.
Pretty cool.
Really enjoying Jason Mantzoukas's new band.
For real though…this is great.
New Order/Joy Division influence. fucking love it.
Influence? It's a blatant rip off.
rip off? of which song? Believe it or not, everyone is influenced and inspired by someone else...
Great as allways!
Kaput style...
genial !
Wow, what happens to me at 1:05??
Great song!!
Jodidamente chingona!!!
It’s sounds like David Bowie and Brian molko from placebo ! No disrespect I just found out about this band , and that’s what it reminded me of
.
Excelente tema, primero en sonar por supuesto en 99
Tu estas en
Doble 99
No sé ustedes, pero no les suena un pelín a Charly Garcia.?
La radio rooock en Lima!

si te sabes la cancion imaco que anda sonando ahora ....juegatela bro1
Y por que no triple 6 ah
Wondeefull!!!!
Thanks Matt Lech
La Jetée en estado puro...sonidos del futuro...HOY
I love this song and, perhaps unique in Destoyer songs, there is an odd time signature thing happening during the "off in the corner doing poet's work.." how is that counted? I'm not much of a musician, so I am a little mystified by which measures are which.
My best guess is that it's switching between 4/4 and 7/8. So going from 1:06 to 1:22, we've got
3 measures of 4/4
1 measure of 7/8
1 measure of 4/4
1 measure of 7/8
2 measures of 4/4
This tune man….. may 2022
Buen trip!!!
nice la jetee!
Great!!! ❤
