![EMPIRES - Hollow Knight [Completed MAP]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dltm6G3HDAc/mqdefault.jpg)
Thank you to the Hollow Knight fandom for introducing me to this song through the fittingly amazing MAP!
I found out bout' this song from the Hollow Knight MAP too!
Same here!
Same here!
Mate soul
is like if this song was made for the animation dude... they chose perfectly the track
Thank you Hollow Knight for expanding my musical taste.
Came here from that Hollow Knight "Empires" video. Discovered two masterpieces at once :)
same.
ahh yes a man of culture
Wow a lot of people found it through that
the hollow knight video and the song is GOD
same
We need more bands like this and Caravan Palace
CyberOstrich try swingrowers :)
Y E S
Cheers guys, also check out Cut Capers - they have a new album out too! :-)
Yes
But this isn't them lol
@@electricswingcircus Thanks Tom xxx
Electro Swing is the best music genre of the 21st Century so far. By far.
Came here from the Hollow Knight MAP, and now you have a new super fan
Checking in from the Hollow Knight Community! Great song!!
This is my favourite electro swing song at the moment
OMG the king
whoever dislikes is delusional
This is my HANDS DOWN favourite song in entirely of Electro swing and the only reason I know about is August Mix 2018 (which sadly had been since taken down). You promised to re-up!
@@Whiterabbit124 And I don't break promises ;)
Hi bro
This song is like crack, I'm primarily a metal head and just discovered this genre and I cannot get enough
High five
Like Sabaton, I discovered this band through memes. And like Sabaton, I can't get enough of it.
I'm a metal head too and i love electro swing, it's so good
Hell yeah brother
Now I'm vividly picturing a thrash metal version of this song 😂
This song
has been stuck
in my head
for days
HELP ME
Same and I've had to actively fight the urge to sing along at work.
No
8 feel having this song stuck in your head is a blessing
NO ONE CAN HELP US
No ...
Can you ear the call ?
why don't they play stuff like this on the radio.
Because it is good.
Because even the commercial jingles are more cultural lets be honest why not :)
Cause everybody would drive like crazy shits in their cars !
Too late, they already do!
you only need to listen to the right stations :)
It still blows my mind that this was written completely separately from Hollow Knight because HK wasn't even released then, and yet fits so perfectly
Or maybe they wrotr the lore about this song🤨
Or ya know.....they made the animations to fit the song?
Have you considered the faxt that the animation could be synced to the song instead of the song being synced to the animation for some reason
It fits a surprising amount of things, like the American revolution

Operator: "Hello, 911, what is the nature of your emergency?"
ESC: "Can you tell me what's the point in building empty empires NOW?"
Operator: "Are you aware that calling emergency services for reasons other than an emergency is illegal?"
⚡️BREAKING NEWS: Cult following jazz band, Electric Swing Circus, has been charged with Wasting Police Time and now face jail time; fans outraged!
I think of this everytime I hear the song lmao
Lately I've been digging electro swing a lot. In my humble opinion, some "electro swing" artists don't seem to put "electro" and "swing" together very well. Many of them are actually making very typical EDM with a bit added swing elements. Though I respect every artists' decision in making their own styles, that is not I looked for.
And this one is a great example for balancing "electro" and "swing", it was superb. Keep swinging.
- Na most electro swing artist I’ve seen emphasize more of the swing elements imo, but honestly I haven’t heard one electro swing track I haven’t liked. Every artist is unique
How about this video? ua-cam.com/video/yR_WNY4IlGU/v-deo.html Is it another one of your examples?
I see a little of both sides to the extremes like Cut capers more orchestral style to Jamie berry's more electro lead. I like both. there is a point where their is too much electro for swing, but to me that's not too much a problem. it's alright by Dutty Moonshine Big Band is a good example of a electronic heavy instrumental.
You can tell they had fun with this. I approve. Best New thing ALL WEEK!
Erin Thomas omg they look like theyre having the absolute time of their lives when doing it live
one of the greatest songs ever made
Hollow Knight fandom incoming!
...very dynamic track with positive vibes...
There's not a single thing I dislike about this song or video. First song heard of this band, immediately subscribed and shared with friends.
Daniel Gould same!
Daniel Gould bro same
the only issue I had was the fact that her dress gave me trypophobia
Her hat in pasta in quite disturbing tho
This is now my new favorite music....100% thumbs up
the dances are so dorky. I love it
sounds like the roaring 20's are coming early
Actually, it sounds like music from the late 1930s and early 1940s when Big Band Jazz and Big Band Swing were popularizing this style. And it makes sense in the grand scheme of things that this would return. That was an era directly after the Great Depression. And November 2016 was sort of the unofficial end of the Great Recession. There is a very specific kind of celebratory sound to this style of music that is happy and triumphant, but also a little rebellious.
The cross-chronological nature of electro swing complements the theme of the song.
And I LOVE IT
Editors: So how much effects do you want
ESC: YES
More effects than an Epic Rap Battles of History video lol
Fuck this is catchy
My Theatre friend first shared with me "That Man" by Caro Emerald, and then I was hooked!
1:16 best part
yeeeeeeeees
This beat is jammin!
Hey bud.
(edited)
Why do people not like Electroswing? It's fun, energizing, and impossible to not dance too!
1:24 this guy gets it. he understood the assignment perfectly
Can you hear the call ?
Do you recall your papa when he sat you on his knee
Telling you the stories of everything he sees
Parading other people, how they braved the battlefield
Taking on an empire, fighting to be free
Oh Papa, tell me what you saw
Tan Tan Tara, can you hear the call ?
Oh Papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan Tan Tara, ba-bap-da-da
Flying out the funnel, crackling on the radio
Emergency connections on a telephone exchange "You've reached the operator, what's the reason for your call ?"
Can you tell me what's the point in building empty empires now ?
Oh Papa, tell me what you saw
Tan Tan Tara, can you hear the call ?
Oh Papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan Tan Tara, ba-bap-da-da
Oh, now, they know that a hundred years ago
That they would build an empire strong
Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away
The battle goes around until we find a common ground
What's the point in building empty empires now ?
Oh Papa, tell me what you saw
Tan Tan Tara, can you hear the call ?
Oh Papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan Tan Tara, ba-bap-da-da, ba-bap-da-da
(Bridge)
Oh Papa, tell me what you saw
Tan Tan Tara, can you hear the call ?
Oh Papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan Tan Tara, ba-bap-da-da
Oh, now, they know that a hundred years ago That they would build an empire strong
Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away
What's the point in building
What's the point in building
What's the point in building empty empires now ?
Colibris 27 thanks m8
Cheers mate!
This is why people need to contribute and put subtitles in videos
OOM PA PA
Stand Tall lmao
[Intro]
Can you hear the call?
[Verse 1]
Do you recall your papa, when he sat you on his knee
Telling you the stories of everything he sees
Parading other people, how they braved the battlefield
Taking on an empire, fighting to be free
[Chorus]
Oh papa, tell me what you saw
Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
[Verse 2]
Flying out the funnel, crackling on the radio
Emergency connections on a telephone exchange
"You've reached the operator, what's the reason for your call?"
Can you tell me what's the point in building empty empires, now?
[Chorus]
Oh papa, tell me what you saw
Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
[Bridge]
Oh, now they know that a hundred years ago
That they would build an empire strong
Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away
The battle goes around until we find a common ground
What's the point in building empty empires, now?
[Chorus]
Oh papa, tell me what you saw
Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh papa, tell me what you saw
Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
[Outro]
Oh, now they know that a hundred years ago
That they would build an empire strong
Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away
What's the point in building
What's the point in building
What's the point in building empty empires, now?
How comes I've never heard this song before ? It is bloody stuck in my head since days and I don't even want to complain !
PTSD has never been so catchy
*_If only this would catch on like wildfire..._*
+NodMan
I hate your name.
Only because I'm just that amazing, I know. Peace through power.
I would like to say a Scrin quote, but I don't think anyone knows what the fuck they are saying.
I like your style brother of Nod
1:30 - **hat wobble intensifies**
Here because of Hollow Knight lol, great song
This video never fails to make me smile because the band is clearly having so much fun just going ham.
I don't know why but the line "give it time and these imaginary lines will fade away" Goes hard as fuck
1:16 I love this part
I stumbled across this song in Synth Riders and couldn't for the life of me remember the name. Glad to be back!
SO DAMN CATCHY I CANT STOP THINKING OF IT
idk why but this song gives princess and the frog vibes and I'm living for it
also electro-swing is by far one of the best genres of music
Because swing, along with a lot of music like jazz and blues, has it roots in black communities from that era in the US (Which princess And The Frog is set in.)
Electro swing just has that 'Get up and Move' vibe to it
Found them by accident on spotify, the first song I heard was "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" ❤
I'm building a time machine that only goes to Jan 16th.
the genre is from the 1900th XD
@@torbenbman6241 "The 1900th"
1:37 is the best part!!!
what a damn underrated song, 2022 and still rocks
I didn't even know I liked this kind of music. :)
Swing started in the USA almost 100 years ago. It's evolution has gained many fans throughout the years
I feel like the song is way to interesting and deep to have a lighthearted music video. From just the sound I envisioned a small child desperately curious about the now ancient wars that have been fought. So much so that the small innocent child doesn't even ask to talk to her father from the operator but just asks the question that's been on her mind the whole time. But, to each their own. Keep up the unique work
What an interesting mind you have, you should try writing books.
I see a child or someone "speaking" ( like the singing) to their grandfather or father, and as the chorus comes about is shows a flashback to the war he fought in (like he was the commander of a massive tank column as he lead the charge into the enemy).
This is a certified hood classic
6 years later.... still underrated.... you guys slap. (found ESC from trying to find the Lackadaisy soundtrack)
That "tan-tan-tara!" Is my favorite line of scat EVER
It's actually ten times around, try listenjng to it.
This is the swingingest trip i have ever been on
living with Chief introduced me to this song. awesome and hilarious series! I have NOT been able to stop listening to this song! it's SO good!
This song introduced us to Living with Chief ;-) Love those guys
Electric Swing Circus haha me too! Great job on this song! I listen to this constantly, haha
I came here because of a couple of college friends recorded their everyday life with their hilarious good friend, lovable roommate, and has a STRONG HATRED for Garbage Bins, Master Chief. Anyone else?
My all time electro swing favorites!
1:35 the BEST part
Glad I wasn’t the only one who came here because of the Hollow Knight animation MAP for this
I must study but I can't quite this song ❤😬
i love how this song still is wayyyy more known in terms of views than all the other ones added together, the song the album is named after included
HAD to map this song on beat saber. My absolute favorite song to play on it.
ESC, i cant comprehend how every song you make becomes my favorite. i have listened to this song over 50 times in the last day. you guys never fail to impress me. thank you for your music ♡♡♡ i love you guys ♡♡♡
Cheers :-) Much appreciated :-) x
HOLY THIS WAS 7 MONTHS AGO ALREADY?? IT FEELS LIKE 1 MONTH ! ! ! Yet i still listen to this daily :O
Nearly 9 ** wow i cannot math ~
@@ninjaryry2 wtf bro it was 6 years ago

P.S. I am obsessed with this song
Me too
Living with the Chief episode 15 brought me here
Thank you Impact Prop
Alphawolf 655 same
Hell yeah!!! Great video guys! Can't wait for the gig this Friday!
See you there!
Electric Swing Circus It's been a long time and thanks to another UA-camr call Impact props I was able to find you guys. Love this song! I hate that Jake Paul makes shit songs and gets subs out of his ass. And you guys make a real song and only get 208k views. You guys deserve more like 208 million.
Thanks to Synth Riders, both my wife and I have this song stuck on our heads. We LOVE it!
llegue por un video de Hollow Knigth, como le pega la musica!!!!
I came hear for hollow knight
Please, keep making music. This is just marvelous.
I just LEARNED the lyrics to this song, I liked it so much😮
Klasse!!😊Voller Schwung!!!!😊
Those chicks can sing
I have no Idea what "Hollow Knight" is, but I found this song playing "Synth Ryders" on my V.R. headset and cant get enough !! This music is just too good !
Hollow knight is an indie game, and a group of about 40 people made an animation of the game and used this song
then you need to play hollow knight
This is seriously one of the most underrated songs I've ever come across
Damn that trippy video! And that music!
I love this song so much😊🥰👍💯💕💞💖
You guys are great saw you on Friday I loved it
So catchy, can we please have more songs like this, there aren't enoughhh
Great hanging with you guys in Dubai - here's to doing some gigs and festivals together in 2018. Have a great New Year guys!
I could listen to this song everyday 👍🏽👍🏽
We do when we are on tour ;-)
Wish I could see y'all live, but I god knows I love this band.
Thanks for making me realize time and time again how much I love electro swing
This is actually one of my favorite electro swing songs... I finally found it!
Found this song on Spotify, loved it, checked if it actually has a video. Not disappointed
This song ignited a love of it within me that can not be quenched. I've listened to it at least 20 times and added it to my favorite playlist
I couldn’t stop listening to this, I was hooked. After a month I still wasn’t sick of this song
This is no joke one of the most catchy music videos. Impossible not to get caught in the rhythm!
I absolutely love this song and it's video!!! Please keep doing what you do...I want more...
Next one coming out soon...
"Give it time and these imaginary lies will fade away." got stuck in my head for centuries! Keep up the good swing!
Jazz, electro, pop, even hints at some elements of rock. Absolutely brilliant! Love it.
Great arrangement, great vibe, great voices, everything about this is amazing.
Heard this song for the first time, instantly bought the EP, listened to it on repeat about 10 times, still going strong! Amazing work!
I definitely enjoyed that track. Awesome work
I heard this song for the first time yesterday while waiting for the bus. I had to ask Siri to “name this song.” I absolutely LOVE THIS!!!
Incredibly, wonderful
really fun video !! so happy to see more ESC music !
Just missed them playing at Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham on Sunday night. First time I've heard them and they are great.
Me and my sister we sitting on the couch, me on my laptop playing music with autoplay on and a cat in my lap, and my sister on her phone sitting next to the dog. This so came kn and we didn't even look at each other, just got up, picked up the animals we were next to and danced. XD
That was fun! Great music!
Pretty damn cheery performance for a song about a WWII veteran telling about the painful fight against the nazis.
Great sound , fantastic, !!
The noise i made when i saw this in my sub box actually scared my family i was sooo happy 😂
Haha that's amazing :-) Hope you like the tune
Electric Swing Circus literally had it on repeat since i saw it in by sub box.. LOVE IT
