Drug addiction's a light-hearted affair when you treat it like a Greek epic. You're just having a good time on your way home. Till you realize the path isn't leading home anymore, but somewhere much darker. That's my reading, anyhow.
In addition to this I might say it really emphasizes the things we create to deal with the chaos of life. Nevertheless a dependency is always converted into another. You might feel exactly like this if you've invested too much in a relationship. Which in the song the writer clearly states that he's found a new way. Bottom line is facing the hard fact that you're never going home because this is life.
I sincerely maintain that nothing they do can ever top Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. That album is perfection from start to finish.You don't just listen to that album, you *experience* it.
actually better than You could have it so much better. so they did what Eminem didn't manage: to follow up a debut masterpiece with a better one and then an even better one. Eminem kind of died after The Marshall Mathers Lp.
Eminem doesn't compare to Franz Ferdinand, but not just cause they are infinitely better imo, but because he is a rapper and Franz is a indie rock band. Also yeah, tonight is good, but I like Hits to the Head and RTRWRA the most.
same !! i'm binging their vids/live performances in some random bout of nostalgia...and it's amazing!! like, their tunes really don't get old, quite the opposite, i'd say. the more times passes, the more i appreciate them :'D
I remember listening to them in middle school and really liking their first album. The 2nd album disappointed me, then about when this song came out I thought they'd lost it. I was so disappointed in the direction they were going but I always checked back in on them from time to time. Now, this is one of my favorite songs and it seems like every few months I go on Franz Ferdinand binges, lol
The lead singer reminds me of my best friend who passed away on his own accord a few years ago. Facial structure, body language, "stage presence." All match with his lifestyle and general aura how I perceived him. Love Franz Ferdinand. May my dear friend rest in peace. Thank you sincerely for reminding me of him.
This song makes me think of a night on the road by looking for bad women; it's a sense of madness that I feel by listening to this, as it refers to a sort of hangover and to a night you should have avoided; I suppose they stuck to a particular happening, likely they made up Ulysses right after having gathered 3 or 4 wh..es over the street and having played along with them. What do you make of it, guys?
Jakub Lonsky Nope. but I was there once... for a day.. I didnt see much.. I saw a few house.. But everyone was nice. :D I guess you are from Poland then?
Slovakia, but my hometown is very close to Polish borders. It's a pretty country, indeed. I thought, based on your last name, that you might be from there :)
A friend, recently, said something like: "This is why I don't listen to new music. Who needs that when we've got these guys to rock us all like this?" Wouldn't say better. TOP!
This song blew my 12 year old mind and I used to sing it out loud and do the dance Alex did in the video and today at 25 years of age it dawned on me this is about going on an odyssey of a chemical bender and now it makes sense how paranoid my parents used to get around prepubescent me
Está canción me hizo sobrevivír en el 2013 por muchas cosas !!! La eh escuchado en vivo 3 veces soy de cdmx México ....y solo puedo decir que amo a Franz Ferdinand y que son lo mejor 🖤
An ex GF and I always used to just refer to them as THE Scottish Band (in reference to MacBeth) as a mark of extreme esteem. And this is still my personal favorite track by the band... it brings backs many memories of why I'm a teetotaler.
Do you think this isn't a reference to Joyce's Ulysses, and is instead Tennyson's Ulysses, in that after arriving home from his Odyssey, Ulysses lies in bed bored to death? I wonder if he could still go out on the town and slay mythical beasts and get stoned.
I take this class in moviemaking and my friend and I always listened to this song like 5 million times with our headphones and on the last day we played it out loud. So much fun!
Cannot believe it's been 15 years since this master piece was released 🥲 Vividly remember as a teenager getting so excited when they'd play it on MTV 🤟🏽🥹 And in a couple of weeks I get to see it live once again! 😭
I remember when I was starting to ride on motorcycle and this album apeared! Ooooh, how many beautiful moments I've had with this album! Riding, singing, enjoying my life.. Then I lost my leg.. No, I'm kidding! :D
Fun fact, in the Virgin/BBC years of books, Ulysses was the name the Doctor's father chose for himself. Also Franz Ferdinand gets a joking reference from the Tenth Doctor in the novel, 'The Price of Paradise.'
Wow, aun recuerdo la locura que se desato en el concierto de Lima en el 2010, de los mejores conciertos a los que he asistido!! Actualmente se extraña a Nick, pero ni modo, todos son geniales
Está canción me salvó la vida 🖤 gracias franz por su música y sacarme de esa depresión que casi me mata !!! Son y serán siempre mi banda más favorita 😢🖤✨
Ulysses is a Greek warrior that fought in Troy. When the war was over, he went off home but got bullied by Poseidon, God of the Sea who was angry with him. So it took him 10 years to get back home. During his wandering he gets involved in a lot of adventures and dangers. In the lyrics you can find some winks to the original story (about wandering and such)

@Avery Kamden instablaster :)
One of the best bands I saw live...WAY TOO LONG AGO...come back to Seattle & I'll be there. Maybe a little high but you killed this song!
It's impressive that he's still making music, considering his assassination over 100 years ago ...
and good music too!
+truelazerlight after this WWI was in vain I think...
truly amazing
Fucking startling man

Me too,so SEXY and I'm a freacking dude
*****
That *escalated* quickly.
chuuubiii is
Is it just me? Or is the singer just gorgeous? I think he is
Oh it's not just you
he actually has an almost identical twin in Sweden. a host for childrens shows in tv. he got fired when he was arrested with cocaine though
Oh yes he is
He is beautiful ❤💖
I am very gay for that man

This song slaps no matter the year and I’m here for it

true
This band always look like they're having fun in their music videos. I'm slightly envious.
alex's such a great actor, seriously.
Yeah...... he's...... acting sure
lol
Smooth unsettling and eccentric... I love it.
just like my dog
Just like my love life
This song is absolutely freakin' amazing live. Saw them over a week ago and I can still feel the music going through me.
saw them last night still amazing!!
How's your indie isolation going? Remembering some of the Franz Ferdinand 2009 jewels?
I was hoping to see this comment here.
Gladly, I'll not leave this video disappointed.
OFC LADY
this song is from like 2005 though
@@pugnaciousbanana Nope, it's 2009. Well, it was released in 2009. It's on Tonight, not You Could Have It So Much Better.
Wicked MTV jam flashbacks
一瞬落ち着いたダンスビートかと思いきや、そこから繰り出される攻めのサウンドが素晴らしくかっこいい！彼らのロックはとってもセンスが良くて毎回ため息出てしまいます。
Still listening to them in 2020, I truly think their songs can never get old. At least to me
I remember listening to them in middle school and really liking their first album. The 2nd album disappointed me, then about when this song came out I thought they'd lost it. I was so disappointed in the direction they were going but I always checked back in on them from time to time.

Ja słucham nadal w 2022:)
Literaly because of this fffire
I love it how Bob Hardy makes a grumpy face in every video.
The lead singer reminds me of my best friend who passed away on his own accord a few years ago. Facial structure, body language, "stage presence." All match with his lifestyle and general aura how I perceived him.
Love Franz Ferdinand. May my dear friend rest in peace. Thank you sincerely for reminding me of him.
Everything is a masterpiece here, the music, the lyric, the video, the photography, the acting.... I LOVE IT ALL
@Elijah Finch thanks
This song is somehow sexy, dark and charming all at once.
This song makes me think of a night on the road by looking for bad women; it's a sense of madness that I feel by listening to this, as it refers to a sort of hangover and to a night you should have avoided; I suppose they stuck to a particular happening, likely they made up Ulysses right after having gathered 3 or 4 wh..es over the street and having played along with them. What do you make of it, guys?
Nick Dobson I was just saying how this is a surprisingly sexy song, considering how dark the subject matter is.
That's Frand Ferdinand in a nutshell, really. Yes?
People want to fuck vampires so yeah accurate
Its just the British way of life
This song is substantially shorter than the book it's adapted from.
and it took more than a day to record :)
Lol yes
@@JustOneGuy Well, there is 2 book, and one of them is definitly longer than 1 day.
@Jeff Pope buzz off jeff
First smile all day, thanks!
I so FÜCKING much love this song. Im home alone, and cant stop screaming it with him.
Csenge Koczka Nothing like a good British band :) ..I like how the synthesizers and Alex's voice give this song certain Depeche Mode darkness.
Csenge Koczka By the way, are you from Poland by any chance?
Jakub Lonsky Nope. but I was there once... for a day.. I didnt see much.. I saw a few house.. But everyone was nice. :D I guess you are from Poland then?
Slovakia, but my hometown is very close to Polish borders. It's a pretty country, indeed. I thought, based on your last name, that you might be from there :)
Kocka means geek and cube in hungarian.. :D I got a silent z and an awsome name.. Its 100% hungarian.
A friend, recently, said something like:
"This is why I don't listen to new music.
Who needs that when we've got these guys to rock us all like this?"
Wouldn't say better. TOP!
"Tonight: Franz Ferdinand" is the best album of this year...FOR ME they are the greatest band at the moment
The marriage of literature to sound and song on this album is audacious, and outstandingly so.
why am i so obsessed with this song
BECAUSE IT';S LIFE DUDE
Because it's WILD!
Because it's GENIUS
cause ya like to get high
Because it is SUPERGOOD, like all of their songs.
This song blew my 12 year old mind and I used to sing it out loud and do the dance Alex did in the video and today at 25 years of age it dawned on me this is about going on an odyssey of a chemical bender and now it makes sense how paranoid my parents used to get around prepubescent me
I mean in the first verse he dies repeat ‘c’mon let’s get high’ like ten times so y’know
Tonight is most definitely one of the top five albums of the last five years. Also, this song is unbelievably kickass. And it's also great live.
This track is stupendous and I don't think it ever achieved the admiration that was due. Thank you for post x
Post-punk revival is when you wear suits. The more suits you wear, the most post-punk revival you are.
case and point: the hives
Está canción me hizo sobrevivír en el 2013 por muchas cosas !!! La eh escuchado en vivo 3 veces soy de cdmx México ....y solo puedo decir que amo a Franz Ferdinand y que son lo mejor 🖤
como que sobrevivir? estaria chido leer tu historia. y si, Franz Ferdinand son grandes, me encanta su musica
eso fue lo que le dijo mi mamá mi novia cuando le dijo que si estaba segura que se quería casar conmigo
I saw them live a week ago. One of the best experiences ever in my life :')
so this is what called eargasm. hoottt
An ex GF and I always used to just refer to them as THE Scottish Band (in reference to MacBeth) as a mark of extreme esteem. And this is still my personal favorite track by the band... it brings backs many memories of why I'm a teetotaler.
2024 still one of the best songs everrr
I love the background sound detail at 2:11-2:24
Without a doubt my favorite Franz song ever
Do you think this isn't a reference to Joyce's Ulysses, and is instead Tennyson's Ulysses, in that after arriving home from his Odyssey, Ulysses lies in bed bored to death? I wonder if he could still go out on the town and slay mythical beasts and get stoned.
extremly smooth and nice
its on repeat for Ever.
Lowkey one of the best music videos ever made.
this may be one of the greatest music videos i've ever seen.
but certainly the most ADDICTING music video i've ever seen.
I really love the filter they used when filming this. gives everything nice vintage colors. Awesome song, perfect video.
The best FF's song
yeah Foo Fighters are great
I like ever long

mvashton My FAVORITE part :3
This song and "take me out" are like awesome songs, there both different in there own way and good in there own way!
Cannot believe it's been 15 years since this master piece was released 🥲 Vividly remember as a teenager getting so excited when they'd play it on MTV 🤟🏽🥹 And in a couple of weeks I get to see it live once again! 😭
This is what has been missing from my life. This song rocketed straight into my top ten. I'M NEVER GOING HOME
His clothes, sooooooo good. Who is his stylist?
I remember when I was starting to ride on motorcycle and this album apeared!
Ooooh, how many beautiful moments I've had with this album!
Riding, singing, enjoying my life.. Then I lost my leg.. No, I'm kidding! :D
I love everything about Franz Ferdinand! 2017 and I still addicted!
By far and away the best album of 2008 not even close
'ya know Franz has been lurking across the pond for a long time. tsk.
God he's gorgeous
Hands down one of my top 10 fav songs.
Alex would be a good Doctor Who.
Fun fact, in the Virgin/BBC years of books, Ulysses was the name the Doctor's father chose for himself. Also Franz Ferdinand gets a joking reference from the Tenth Doctor in the novel, 'The Price of Paradise.'
These are precisely my thoughts. Is it something to do with the tenth style hair??
Also @MRPandoraHartDR what is the reference in the novel?
Probably would.
♥️🤩
Yes
Mmmm, Alex. You should star in a movie.
Anyone else love from 0:40-0:50?
Good book; great video; amazing song.
Офигенная группа я думаю!супер молодцы!!!!
DIRT 2💓
after i read the poem about ulysses, i realized this is one their most genius songs ever
this is freaking fantastic
This is the most british sound ever. Love it!!!
Wow, aun recuerdo la locura que se desato en el concierto de Lima en el 2010, de los mejores conciertos a los que he asistido!!
Actualmente se extraña a Nick, pero ni modo, todos son geniales
Awesome band
Shame on you, Gavrilo Princip.

Great job by the casting director. You can practically smell the extras on my iPhone.
