General Elektriks - "Take Back The Instant" Taken from "Good City For Dreamers" (2009) iTunes: bit.ly/1dFdZP4 Directed by Arno Salters www.discograph....
Take back the instant when you brushed him off your shirt You tried to drag him to the trash You tried to trade him in for cash Take back the instant when you blew him off your path With a kiss reading twenty below zero Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go Cold, cold moment when the first doubt shot through your head A black ink drip running through your veins Start hello to drift bringing you sleep pain Pregnant seconds dripping through the hour-glass When the lure of men who would be kings Made you lose the man who was wearing you ring He didn't match your luscious thoughts tonight You couldn't look him in the eye Awkward is the embrace when it's not tight, not tight And so the jewel you once both had is left crumpled like a collapsed lung When all you had to do was hang out in the sun, hang out in the sun Sir, you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate But you were just born in the right place Just born into the right race You're climbing Mount Everest now, granting wishes from above Favors are yours to give, lies are yours to live Take Back The Instants that led you to believe That the earth shakes 'cuz you're not happy And the sun rises 'cuz you're not sleepy You got the loudest parade in town Clowns, assassins and crooks You got ladies in see-through gowns Reading extracts from your books Beggars are trailing at the back They're waving from the cardboard float You're thinking that from up close Statistics can be such a drag Your cup is full now, blood is the color of this wine And it's dripping from the ceiling, and it's making the chandeliers ring And the instant the ballroom overflows Your thrones turn into your gallows
J'ai découvert ce groupe grace à Boris Jardel (le guitariste d'Indochine) et sérieusement je peux plus m'en passer! Ce groupe est tout simplement génial!
ce sont des accords très particuliers mais géniaux qui dépassent mes connaissances musicales comme ce que faisait Prince fréquemment ("trop de notes" avait-on dit à Mozart) et qui, pour la sonorité vintage me font un peu penser par exemple à la musique du feuilleton plein d'humour "Amicalement vôtre" avec Tony Curtis doublé par le génial Michel Roux et bien-sûr Roger Moore décédé récemment sans qu'on lui rende un hommage suffisant à mon sens.
Super blague les touches du piano au début 😂!!! je viens juste de m'en rendre compte alors que je connais le groupe depuis longtemps....Petits frippons ! M'en fou, je le relèverai quand même à l'oreille !😘
Im in france right now and i found these guys in a music store there were headsets tp listen through. There was a song with a little kid talking about a frog i think it was called parker street but i cant find the song if anyone knows what this songs called pls tell me
@ganawone Pas personnelement, mais je suis fan d'Indochine et dans l'une de ses interviews Boris Jardel a parler de ce groupe en très bon terme =) J'ai donc écouter, et j'ai adoré ce groupe =)
On sent bien l'inspiration avec Nobody Knows mais ce n'est pas vraiment un copié/collé, alors pour une fois qu'un artiste à de bonne références musicales, pourquoi le blamer ? Génie ou pas, copie ou pas, j'adore les 2 morceaux (avec une légère préférence pour le gospel de T.L. Barrett)
J'avoue avoir cru au génie de General Elektriks jusqu'à entendre Pastor T.L. Barrett & the Youth For Christ Choir - Nobody Knows, ce morceau date de 1971

That piano-bass is so frickin awesome. Love this retro stuff
Still a masterpiece, both visually and audibly. Every time I play it, I keep it on repeat for a half an hour.
Take back the instant when you brushed him off your shirt
You tried to drag him to the trash
You tried to trade him in for cash
Take back the instant when you blew him off your path
With a kiss reading twenty below zero
Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go
Cold, cold moment when the first doubt shot through your head
A black ink drip running through your veins
Start hello to drift bringing you sleep pain
Pregnant seconds dripping through the hour-glass
When the lure of men who would be kings
Made you lose the man who was wearing you ring
He didn't match your luscious thoughts tonight
You couldn't look him in the eye
Awkward is the embrace when it's not tight, not tight
And so the jewel you once both had is left crumpled like a collapsed lung
When all you had to do was hang out in the sun, hang out in the sun
Sir, you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate
But you were just born in the right place
Just born into the right race
You're climbing Mount Everest now, granting wishes from above
Favors are yours to give, lies are yours to live
Take Back The Instants that led you to believe
That the earth shakes 'cuz you're not happy
And the sun rises 'cuz you're not sleepy
You got the loudest parade in town
Clowns, assassins and crooks
You got ladies in see-through gowns
Reading extracts from your books
Beggars are trailing at the back
They're waving from the cardboard float
You're thinking that from up close
Statistics can be such a drag
Your cup is full now, blood is the color of this wine
And it's dripping from the ceiling, and it's making the chandeliers ring
And the instant the ballroom overflows
Your thrones turn into your gallows
Great song! I just discovered it... Never too late to find cool stuff.
J'ai découvert ce groupe grace à Boris Jardel (le guitariste d'Indochine) et sérieusement je peux plus m'en passer! Ce groupe est tout simplement génial!
I LOVE this! he does mad things with that keyboard of his....General Elektriks
great vid too...
( besides that I'm fairly indifferent)
Wow 10year
Why does the keyboard at 0:06 have two groups of two black keys next to each other?
wtf? normal? in what tuning?

I feel some racial tension here.
A tous les coups il a juste voulu laissé une imperfection dans sa vidéoMais il n'existe aucun clavier avec un ecart de quarte entre deux C
Super blague les touches du piano au début 😂!!! je viens juste de m'en rendre compte alors que je connais le groupe depuis longtemps....Petits frippons ! M'en fou, je le relèverai quand même à l'oreille !😘
Toujours aussi incroyable!!!
Does anybody know where to find guitar/bass tabs for this song? TABS not CHORDS.
Juste géant, le piano est tout simplement incroyable. Quelle créativité ! :O
wtf ?! I cant get enough of this, damn the shit is real
The first 5 seconds is VERY similar to the intro of Peaches in Regalia from Frank Zappa...I kept on listening to both and laugh. It sounds the same.
+jeanclaudeduce33 Hah, nice one, it really is. You kinda expect the melody to fall in after the chord ^_^
OK this bass line was meant to keep everyone upbeat.
Excellant !!! Heureusement quil reste encore de la bonne musique à écouter.
to exforige: its the beat.. the highhat isnt stable.
Im in france right now and i found these guys in a music store there were headsets tp listen through. There was a song with a little kid talking about a frog i think it was called parker street but i cant find the song if anyone knows what this songs called pls tell me
This feels like a funky vampire
but it's french, and they (general electriks) are from france...it's simple
this is really good! i like this song. and the bass sounds really REALLY really good. loveeee! :)
Magnifique! de la vrai music

@creativenl IM NOT KIDDING ! i stood on the right side at the lead guitar ..
I just drank soup
Good job

for me the way these latin languages are written look all the same, but if I hear someone speaking french I will recognize it
see, something bothers me in this song, i can't say what, it just seems... unstable
Clavinet make the bass!
Great song!
Hard to compare Spanish with french thought.. x)
