Choir Boy - "Complainer" (Official Video)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- The single from indie pop outfit Choir Boy's second album, 'Gathering Swans.'
"Complainer" is a sarcastic examination of self pity. The video reveals Choir Boy's involvement in a seedy back alley fighting ring.
Order on LP/CD/Digital: www.daisrecord...
Creative, sincere, passionate and glaring with intention, Gathering Swans paints a bright, hopeful, and deeply heartfelt image that will most assuredly attract anyone who accompanies Choir Boy upon their journey.

LYRICS:
Oh my Life
What a pitiful thing to hear
It’s a phrase so funny
When it’s spoken so sincere
Twist of the knife
What a typical thing to feel
It’s a pain so funny
It’s a wound that will never heal
But it’s not that bad
I never really had it worse
I’m just a complainer
But it’s not that bad
I never really had it worse
I’m just a complainer
I’m just a complainer
Roll of the dice
When I get out of bed to see
What a day so sunny
Oh I’m sure it’s not for me
As a 50 year old (next week that is) Gen Xer-I love this band more than I even love some of my old favorite bands. This band- while having a retro feel -goes beyond the sound of the new wave bands of the past and creates its own vastly unique ethereal sound of which anyone who hears them is mesmerized and spellbound. Choir Boy-thank you for existing!
I absolutely love this 80’s revival thing goin on these last few years! Amazing!
fox pals I’ve especially noticed it over the last 5 years or so. Either way I love it
It's been going on for a looong time. Check out Gardens and Villa
fox pals Absolutely! May it go on forever and ever :)
I feel like it peaked 10 years ago
The 30-year-old cycle in pop culture. This new decade is going to be 90s revival. I can hear a lot of 90s influence in pop songs lately
I heard this song in a pub in the city of Porto in Portugal, and every time I listen to it I remember that day.
I remember the first day I heard this song too. It played while I was at work and it made my heart stop and I had to drop everything and just listen.
Choir Boy is the most beautiful and surreal thing I have ever heard in my entire life. I absolutely love them.
I hear this while I’m late at night on call on a hospital, makes heavy work and life bearable
💞
I get to see Choir Boy live tonight and I'm giddy as a 47 year old man can be.
Adam’s voice is indescribable
Agreed. It has this romantic/gothic feel to it.
Goth Morrissey
@@arib8367 bingo
The sound of the 80s will never die!
I didn’t see it coming at all and I’m really grateful for a present like this! It may sound like an exaggeration but Choir Boy is the only group I am never getting tired of. I like everything: music itself, beautiful lyrics. It just feels right. You are very comforting, very melancholic. Thank you for making the existence more bearable. I mean it.
Ryna Tymoshchuk have you heard human leather?
YES. Everyone reading this look up Human Leather and listen rn.
Black Swan AGREED🤝💫
Hi all! Take a listen to The Ocean Blue... such a great band!
Love it!!!!!! It's sooo goooooooood.
Im glad they’re getting the recognition they deserve
I can’t believe how good this track is, but I’m not surprised. Choir Boy is just that good.
love this band. the frontmans vocals are a treasure!
Its crazy when you meet a really special person, once in a lifetime shit...and you bond over Choir Boy... it's life changing
I swear, the very next time I utilize the Law of Attraction to manifest, I'm playing this song. I think I will be able to manifest ever damn thing I ever wanted! Such an, awesome, positive vibe! As Tesla said, think of everything as frequency and vibration. I'm a 46 year old Gen-Xer and I was literally raised on awesome tunes such as this. Keep the eighties thing going! The nostalgia is nearly bringing tears to my eyes!
Adam in chains
Real
If The Lost Boys was music, this is it. I love this band so much!!!
This song still hits so hard. The Gathering Swans LP was such a lifeline for me during covid times in 2020
The Smiths borrowed Black Marble's gear and I love it
And then they got Bryan Ferry to do the vocals
Mr. Chode hell yeah!!
In his dreams he can sing like Morrisey xD
Wjat kinda drum machine would you say they use
this is so accurate, its kinda scary
I met them all recently at a show in Cleveland and they are all very nice and talented people. Seeing them in person was an honor
Just discovered this band tonight and I have played Gathering Swans on repeat for hours. The video is just as beautiful as the song 🥺❤️🥺
I can’t believe this song is happening, I’m listening for like the 50th time
M'enamorao 😍😍😍😍
Love the 80's vibe of his music! Really happy I took the time to listen to more
Just seen Choir Boy in Seattle they were the best band I seen this year. These guys will be at Coachella someday.
Best band since the '80s. Period. It's like Bryan Ferry, OMD, and The Cure had a baby. Heck yeah.
Special thanks to Adam for channeling your energy into your lyrics, it hits really close to home.
One of them for sure! Everything Dais seems to put out is amazing. I'm really digging the new Riki at the moment as well!
Listen to Wild Nothing
Spot on!!
very close to home and needed
Check out The Midnight
Dais Records is the same label that Drab Majesty & Genesis P-Orridge was under. Awesome!!
Tive muita sorte em morar no Brasil e mesmo assim o RUclips me indicar esse 💎
Forever in love in with Adam's voice! May is too far away because I need this new album since yesterday! Ill just keep this, Nites Like this and all of Passive with Desire until then.
Check out Human Leather if you haven't :)

(I'm just a complainer)
(I'm just a complainer)
Gives off a The Smiths meets A-Ha vibe and I'm here for it.
This is so addicting.
I just want to give the entire band a high five.
You have absolutely perfected the 80’s sound ✨
I had the privilege of seeing Choir Boy and Soft Kill live on a joint bill in my city of Brighton & Hove. They are absolutely fantastic live too.
i literally just got this song tattooed on me the other day! i love it so much, thanks for existing!!!
Dream gaze pop!
i've been looking for songs like this for years❤❤❤
Love this so much!!!! Album so good. Toxic Eyes!!!!!
This song is fun. It's on repeat at the moment.
Hope to see y’all in Texas again soon!
Really makes your final days alive feel like the last
Me: Hi, I'd like one new unhealthy obsession, please.
The Algorithm: Here you go, bub.
Haha literally this
Ha ha making new 80's hits that's totally awesome
I love everything about this song! Can't wait to hear more.
I just died. This is amazing, the aesthetic is all I live for. Big Love!!!
Hi this is one of my new favorite songs, thank you for existing
Amazing! the 80´s are back in tremendous style.
Social distancing sucks but at least we have this amazing song.
Would drive 5 hrs to see Choir Boy on the East Coast
This life this this is my everything!
Great start to the morning! 💥👌 awesome tune.
God I love you guys! I can’t stop listening to this song. So excited to have the new album in my hands!! Cheers to y’all!
I’ve been bumping this song in my car so many times today. 🕺🏼
Fantastic video, beautiful voice. The vocal inflections always changing makes for an engaging piece.
This music video is a whole ass mood omfg
Wonderful song and video.
Never dissapoints 🖤🙏💫
Just great!!!!!!!!
My coworker showed me this band today, Very good band, love the 80s sound 💜😍
Yep, it reminds me of IVth Nelo
RUclips suggested this to me seemingly out of nowhere. Very fortunate, digging this quite a bit. Listened to it just once and the melody played in my head nonstop for the next three days.
This is what I was waiting for in 2020 :)
This is sick
LOVE It. Kat's voice is like a sunny spring day 😍
I can't stop hearing this band.love every single song they do...his voice🙏
What a great song 👌🏽 very reminiscent of black marble great guitar the vocals are almost Morrissey esqe - fantastic !
So so so much love from the UK
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard tbh
Excellent show in Portland last night @ Revolution Hall (formerly Washington High School). Jack Ely, singer for The Kingsman/"Louie Louie" went to school there, amazing! Nyx Division, SRSQ also killed. Caught you earlier this year at Mississippi Studios in PDX as well. I was a fan of Madison's previous band, Sculpture Club (still active) before finding Choir Boy. Sculpture Club hits way harder, but that's probably because I've always been shy, had social anxiety, severe depression, been an outcast, etc. Got into them pre-pandemic and randomly found he was in this band and so I support them. Shoutout to Dias Records, the best band on that label is Death Bells, no offense, they just are (seen them twice, they slay).
How does this master piece doesn't have 5 million views!! We are early! Much love on everyone's path ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🖤
Wow! This song brings back memories of things I have never lived!
Holy 80s! This reminds me of A-HA. Awesome!
This is amazing, such great instrumental and the sound effects! Also, your voice is literally amazing wtf?? 💕💕💕
listened to this over 250 times and i’m still blown away
This gets better every time I watch it.
so good!!! they make me embrace my inner fan-girl; i'm patiently waiting for my gathering swans and passive with desire cds to come in the mail >.>
listening to this at 4:13 in the morning while my whole city is basically in quarantine this week... it couldn’t be more perfect
I love that Ian Curtis guitar!
Maravilla. Magnífico. Excelente.
Best song I've heard in ages!!!
This music is so pleasant and at the same time so sad. I love this band!
Aaaaaah new albuuuuuum! I already preordered it on Dais Records website. We missed you guyssss! Nomnomnomnom this new track
Cheeky little dot in the sky jangle, love you guys , congrats on another epic tune.
My copy just arrived yesterday! Congrats on another great release ya'll!! Please keep the incredible tunes coming, but take a little break first if you want lol. Just a little one ;).
Nice song; melodies! 👏
Great song, keep playing it!!!!!
King legends joining musical forces to make an essential classic banger.
Beautiful. Looking forward to the new album.
Adam’s voice is up there with Liz’s from Cocteau Twins. ❤️ Love y’all and hope this year is amazing for you!
Dude. Amen
It really reminds me of Bryan Ferry's!
Darth Revan - hm I can kinda hear a little bit of similarity.
I just said this same thing on someone's comment. His voice is the only voice since Liz from Cocteau Twins THAT is the same level of ethereal, beautiful, artistic, majestic and masterful.
I've listened to this song 8 million times
Loving this. Reminds me of Sean Nicholas Savage a bit.
Best 💜
best song out of this album by far
SOMETHING I NEVER KNEW I MISSED.....THIS SONG HITS A DIFFERENT SPOT, FEELS LIKE I SHOULD'VE OF GREW UP IN THE 80"S ,...., IM JUST A COMPLAINERRRR
What a voice!
I can't explain how much I love this song😭
This is totally filling the void Wild Beasts left when they broke up
FUTURE CLASSIC
This is my album of the year 2020. Absolutely genius.
best pop band around
This slap so hard 🔥
