After being offered a job, I packed up all of my stuff and moved from DC to New Mexico after law school. My employer paid me to study for the bar. When the time came, I hiked up to Albuquerque to tackle the mighty bar exam. After three years of academic hell in the perpetually overcast drab of the nation’s capital, I now found myself cruising through a citrus-bright, sun-soaked city. ABQ-at least the corner I drove through-was amazing! I popped in a “goodbye” CD a friend gave me and this was track number one. Fell in love with this song in the Land of Enchantment. Even now when I hear it, my heart aches. I so vividly remember those pivotal days, when I was brimming with optimism and my new life was just beginning. God felt near. Maybe nostalgia has glorified the past. Either way, this song is special to me. I passed the bar by the way.
This band is one of the most underrated. Grammy worthy, Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame Bound and lastly to be inducted into the songwriters hall of fame for some of the best lyricism in thier genre between second or fourth to Foo Fighters, Atlas Genius and Vance Joy. hands down.
very good this band one of the best bands in Europe, this is my opnion I am hispanic here in Brazil I did not stop to hear the sound of this band phoenix.
they are so good. It amazes me how good a persons voice can be. and it doesnt make me want to bang my head on a wall like the mainstream stuff on the radio. I love phoenix!
In the start I listened to the singers voice and thought: "omg, that's awfull", but after watching this video I WANT MORE! Actually I didn't know them before, but I'm kinda sure that I'm FAN! Look at that drummer! This band is like created for me!
Multiple comments saying the drummer is "on fire", my brain would probably explode out of my ears if I could actually see him play while literally being lit on fire... That guy is fcking awesome!
@wanstrup I didn't say it's the album version, it just looks like maybe they recorded his vocals live prior to it. They obviously play to a click track, so it's possible
Am I the only person whom thinks this is their best song next to 1901?
Yes
Wait a sec no I love those albums
Those two songs jam
Lasso, armistice, and lizam something is good too. Also, trying to be cool.
Plasic Bubble ill give those a listen
I can't believe how old this album is. The whole thing is such a masterpiece. It still feels brand new.
That’s great music.
me too! time flies! it still sounds super fresh
drummer is a beast !
Drummer is cr8zay
@@DrCash7 Animal !
This entire album is still phenomenal. The drummer is off the chain.
The energy he puts into playing. So sick

Have you seen the shows breaking bad and/or Better Call Saul?
@@Periph1989
Yes! And they also remind me of those days!
Damn bro...I can feel the emotion
Powerful stuff. I’m so late but congratulations. I hope all is well with you.
keep coming back just to see the drummer :)
drummer so lit.
This band is one of the most underrated. Grammy worthy, Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame Bound and lastly to be inducted into the songwriters hall of fame for some of the best lyricism in thier genre between second or fourth to Foo Fighters, Atlas Genius and Vance Joy. hands down.
Tom Haverford is a hell of a drummer
Thank you so much for this comment. I couldn't have been the only one to think it was aziz.
coolest drummer ever
Thomas Mars is an angel. I could listen to his singing voice over and over again without getting fed up.
what a drummer. Unreal
This is one of my fav all time albums. The best from them hands down.
Despite growing up w/great 80's, 90's music, I think Phoenix is just the best.
They sound legit amazing live. c:
These guys live sound the exact same as there studio version. Real fucking band. :)
i forgot about this song....first song I heard by phoenix. that keyboard gets me. hella nostalgic rn
Wow - what an amazing drummer supporting a great timeless track
1:43 had me stuck in a time loop
The drummer, Thomas Hedlund, plays with Phoenix when they're on tour.

I was yesterday years old to find this band on UA-cam. Heard them on a movie called Paris Can Wait. Great sound 🎶

Is this a break up song?
The drummer in this song 😵 🔥
Best men ever ♥
drummer is a fuckin beast
My mans
well at 2:13 we gonna actually heard how amazing the drummer tone is, what a great performance.
The Drummer really makes this band go....very distinct sound and style, kinda of reminds of the way Keith Moon of the Who attacked the drum kit.
2021 anyone?
vive la France !!!!
สุดยอด
Anyone in 2022?
In the start I listened to the singers voice and thought: "omg, that's awfull", but after watching this video I WANT MORE! Actually I didn't know them before, but I'm kinda sure that I'm FAN! Look at that drummer! This band is like created for me!
Omgggggggg
I wish I was there to help him sing it lmao
Carlton is on Fire!!!
it's the same night they played on the late night with david letterman. haha. this band is pure!
Sounds just like his songs
Being in Cult of Luna would make you drum like that. I love Thomas Hedlund.
Giiiirrrrrrrrlfriend 3:11
correct!
Hedlund is kick ass.
Thomas Hedlund FOR THE WIN!
1:41 Phoenix takes us into a late night time paradox of improvisational proportions! A black whole!
Multiple comments saying the drummer is "on fire", my brain would probably explode out of my ears if I could actually see him play while literally being lit on fire... That guy is fcking awesome!
Look at the drummer go!
That dude is gettin' those drumbs lol
Also the best late night host there is.
Keyboard ^.^
@Benjiloutheking Yes he does, left ear
I say it outloud but you just dont care... wow!!!!!
@wanstrup
I didn't say it's the album version, it just looks like maybe they recorded his vocals live prior to it. They obviously play to a click track, so it's possible
il y a une énergie supra naturel de la part du batteur. Un phénomène incompréhensible ? ou le batteur puise son énergie ?
the drummers actually missing all the bones in his neck so his head flops uncontrollably while he's playing
Great song🤣
0:46 the Drummer!
He's just a sessionist, but you can check him out in his original band, múm. They're from Iceland.
jesus really knows how to headbang
The drummer is in the groove. Thumbs if you agree
everyone that think that phoenix has only 4 members thats not true its 6 the drummer and the organ player
Thumbs up for drummer . :DD
hahahaha.. omg too funny
Why is the keyboard so damn loud.
The drummer is playing his own little song in his head.
I love the hard beats of thomas hedlund
Who's watching in 2020?
Here after watching no strings attached
The beginning sounds like a =n Angles and Airwaves song.
