Franz Ferdinand’s latest album ‘Always Ascending’ is out now on Domino Record Co. Listen & Buy here: smarturl.it/AlwaysAscending More from Franz Ferdinand on UA-cam: smarturl.it/BestOfFranzFerdinand
The extended prechorus at 2:02 is one of the greatest moments in indie rock for me; an almost-rap/Blondie quality to it that just blows me away every time.
As much as the song is a flat-out banger, I can't express how much the chorus has come to speak to me. "The fallen are the virtuous among us, walk among us, never judge us..." It's true. For all my own worst decisions, for all the things that shame me and judge, I've never felt more accepted than by those who are just as broken.
Why this song, this band are sooooo underrated!!!! This song is simply perfect, beautiful and the band are amazing!!!😍😍 Can't stop watching video and listen to their music Thank you for existing!!😳🎸🙋
@Daniel Holmes well, when people in Glasgow are drunk and talk to swedish tourists, we don't understand a word they say. at least, I didn't. will never forget one of the bars. the men looked like hockey players during play-off season, no teeth and stitches everywhere. and the girls looked they were there to do some business so they could buy heroin. but I guess it could have been a hooligan pub.
This song is simply fascinating once you realize all the hidden meanings in it. And you can interpret it in various ways...it's definitely among my favourites.
These guys are amazing. Until just a few weeks ago they were the "Take Me Out Guys" to me. Now they're pretty much my current maniacal music phase. Took me nearly 10 years, I want a re-do!
By the way, this is my favorite song. Not just from this band (actually my top 3 favorite songs ever are from this band haha) , but of alltime! Everytime this song comes up on my Ipod i crank up the volume...Its an obsession really.
Love this song! though i actually beleive i've never understood the consept/meaning of it entarily but whatever- i do understand it''s great music ! :)
I know it's been 11 damn years, but I'm still going to respond. Alex has a degree in theology and this song shows it well. To the best of my understanding, the idea is that if Jesus existed in our period of time, he would be hanging out with "the fallen" - people, who are usually looked down upon (homeless, poor, etc), instead of choosing the company of what is your average conservative Christian is
Like Franz Ferdinand said that they didn't like this video because it isnt what they were imagining, maybe 10 fans agree with them. Because is impossivel someone doesn't love this song!
This is a sad song in some ways. People going around thinking they're great when all they do is ruin things, like some high and mighty guy pushing a poor man's car out of his way killing a kid in the process. Hey, 1:55 - Am I the only one here who caught that? The hands with holes in them like Jesus Christ, but with a chain through them? Ouch. Chained hands. Hands are used for working with. Oh god damn it, it means someone's hands are chained in working, doesn't it? Better not be in slavery to sin.

A very underrated song from Franz ferdinand
Josman Heath i'd bet the most...
No, the whole band is underrated, horribly underrated...
Defo one of they best. The album version that is!
Yeah it’s one of my favourites
@@ilijamilosevic3433 yep they should be known as one of the greats with all the other amazing english bends
This whole album is a smasher.
This track is absolute perfection.
What a memory. Used to sit in front of the TV waiting for Fuse to play this music video again. Miss those days
1:25 amogus

i don't see why this is one of their less popular songs. This one is by far my favorite and the one that got me into the band.
It isn’t just me that gets goosebumps every time they hear this song, right?
1/10/23 tambien a mi es tan certera su letra son fantasticos!
Aun! a mi tambien me fascina su letra es tan certera,!!!!❤17/4/24
This band will always be my favourite. They really have something no one else has, they are so special to me.
Todos los vídeos de esta banda son autenticamente geniales.

Ah nah, it relates to you because you're an imposter
SUS
What a fast-paced, violent and in-your-face song and video. Great tune!
I wrote an essay about this song I seriously hope I do well on it
+Mathew Akl how did you do on it ?
+lyna zidane I got a C + but then I redid it on another subject and got an A lol
it was hard to make sense of the song and my thesis was broad
awesome song to make an essay on though and at least you got an A the second time :p
+Mathew Akl Can I read it? Like put it on pastebin or something.
Well did you do good?
This is their greatest song by far. Been my favorite for years, LOVE THIS.
DO NOT GO TO 1:26
WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
S U S
Why this song, this band are sooooo underrated!!!!
This song is simply perfect, beautiful and the band are amazing!!!😍😍
Can't stop watching video and listen to their music
Thank you for existing!!😳🎸🙋
Everything in this video is excellent: art direction, lights, angles, costumes, acting (for saying), cuts.Oh, of course, the song too.
i love this, oh my god. i heard it at a restaurant and i fell in love with it.
Just rediscovered Franz Ferdinand. Man o man I was a massive fan of them in 2004-2006. So much fun to rediscover this gem through youtube.
what a great band
1:26 AMONGUS!?!?!?!?!?!?
These guys are the best
Damn only 1.5m views. We should be atleast 10x here. Fantastic song.
I love this song
Good old college times.
Buenos tiempos recordando la música de Franz Ferdinand...😎🖤🔥🎶🎵🇵🇪👍🏻
this is for me the best song from FF!
Love this song so much
Played this shit at a party and people fucking lit up. They didn't even know the song but that's the power of good songwriting. FF knows their shit.
Love their art direction for all their videos and looks.
agree.
I failed horribly while trying to sing along
+Brandon Davies I thought it was because I'm not a native in English, now I feel better
Men, me too...
i remembered every word even tho i heard it when i was 13 .... now im 24 oh well WHO GIVES A DAMN
yeah, Alex has lungs of steel
@Daniel Holmes well, when people in Glasgow are drunk and talk to swedish tourists, we don't understand a word they say. at least, I didn't. will never forget one of the bars. the men looked like hockey players during play-off season, no teeth and stitches everywhere. and the girls looked they were there to do some business so they could buy heroin. but I guess it could have been a hooligan pub.
This song just strikes me for some reason... I love it.
This song is simply fascinating once you realize all the hidden meanings in it. And you can interpret it in various ways...it's definitely among my favourites.
This just came on the player at home. Wow, TUNE! Thanks for the memories lads. Saw you guys a number of times when I lived in the UK.
I still love it so much ♡♡♡
the fallen are, indeed, the virtuous among us
Es 2021 y me siguen pareciendo geniales estos tipos
They made so many new tracks and played them live. They definitely need to come with a 4th album!!!
Great song, one om my favorites!

amazing musicians
0:43
franz ferdinand have some of the best videos ever made
I love this version more than the album version, I'm sure you can't hear the acoustic guitar in the background on the album...
pure brilliance,classiiiiccc
His VOICE! Oh my god. It's like mascara-smeared gothic sex. I love it.
I'm commenting so you remember that you wrote this comment lol
@@Huhhhhhhhj Speedwagonnn
10 points for this brilliant Comment

I have listened to this song over 30 times, I think, and for the first time, I hear an acoustic guitar in the background?!
This is the purpose of the song, man.
saw them in Leeds last night, still excellent!
So glad I bought this album
Franz ferdinand is the best
HELP!I'm hooked on Franz Ferdinand!
amazing song
These guys are amazing. Until just a few weeks ago they were the "Take Me Out Guys" to me. Now they're pretty much my current maniacal music phase. Took me nearly 10 years, I want a re-do!
I love it!! And Alex is so beautiful in this video, ach :-D
Pasan los años y esta canción sigue sonando increíble, además el estilo minimalista del video la vuelve aún más potente.
Por esta canción conocí Franz Ferdinand. Y ya han pasado unos años. 2020 siguen vigentes.
very good
Geniossss
Temaso loco temaso
By the way, this is my favorite song. Not just from this band (actually my top 3 favorite songs ever are from this band haha) , but of alltime! Everytime this song comes up on my Ipod i crank up the volume...Its an obsession really.
Amazing! Catholicism + rock = a great song! "Did I see you in a limousine flinging out the fish and the unleavened?" Pure genius.
RAL III Not very bright are you ???
WeRuleScallywag my Mensa membership card proves otherwise
The classic my iq is as high as enisteins argument. Oh how I love the internet.
WeRuleScallywag I said nothing of the sort.. choose your battles wisely.
