This is one of the best music videos ive ever seen. I actually watched these old stop-motion fairytales when I was a kid so to see them with tanks in them is kinda nuts! And does a lot for "Death of innocence" they're going for. Great song.
The video, to my eyes, is putting forward the notion that the modern age, the age of machines and surveilance, is destroying the past. Not the past as an actual place, but the past as we imagine it, and as a place from which to draw meaning for our contemporary age. It is saying, through destroying the fairy tales that previous generations have grown up with in the West, that all we have is the present, and the present is ugly, war torn, and meaningless--or, like, whatever.
this song rocks but it isn't very popular. here in belgium it is very popular :D one of the best songs of intimacy i think. this song has to be viewed alot more
Well, there were seven years between us Seems that all my friends were right That we can't survive on your bedroom eyes And a, a Spanish guitar When we started this it was paradise Not just Bethnal Green And it's just not right, this waiting game Making a cuckold of me I can be as cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies with lies If you need time And It's just not like me to have shout But enough is enough Tell me what the others can do That I can't Translucent and sun-bleached skin Yeah, when did you get so L.A.? How can you desert me after What we've been through? Stuck on a dreamland Somewhere is better You'll be the one missing out I can be as cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies with lies If you need time I can be as cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood (If you need time) I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies with lies If you need time, time, time Time, time, time I can be as cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies with lies I can be as cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies with lies I, I, I, I I, I, I, I I, I, I, I Haven't you words, you words? Fire with fire, fire, fire with fire Other, other, other word Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes Eye
Cool clip, cant help but wonder how long it would have taken to make? stop start animation is tedious! Bet they finished that album before that clip had even been edited for release?
hope you got rights to the footage from Ray Harryhausen! The creator of the original animation. Some how I can't imagine you did as Ray wouldn't care for this "Re-Mix" but I on the other hand found it well done and pretty original on its on.
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS
ME TOO AND I JUST FOUND IT RN AHHHH
@@kyri0sity I literally had to ask on Reddit to find it LOL
Same!!!
9 years passed, still in love with Intimacy
15 years in the meantime
bloc party is the most innovative creative and best band ive ever known
Knew this song from Indie/Rock Playlist December 2008.
Amazing song.
Love it.
This is one of the best music videos ive ever seen. I actually watched these old stop-motion fairytales when I was a kid so to see them with tanks in them is kinda nuts! And does a lot for "Death of innocence" they're going for. Great song.
Fighting fire with firewood
Love the old bloc party so damn much
I like the use of the Blues Smoke Detector at 2:32. Really brings the whole song together.
This video shows Lord Farquaad's dreams.
@Kiwi Viking Thanks for bringing me back here lol.
This is such a great work out song!!!!! Takes you to another level!
I've loved this band for 20 years ❤
One of the songs you never forget and always remember all the words … BLOC PART FOREVER
So happy this is the new single. My favourite off the album.
This was my first time to see this video. It was AWESOME‼️
Took me a year to find out this song's title.
First heard it mid 2009 thinking it was done strictly for a Melbourne radio station.
One of the songs on the album where the production is on point and not saturated. Great track
I remember listening to this song in primary school all the time now im 20 and still listening to this banger
another delicious song from Bloc Party :)
demoraste mucho y eso que entiendes ese idioma a mi me tardo menos y eso que no hablo el idioma

Well, there were seven years between us
Seems that all my friends were right
That we can't survive on your bedroom eyes
And a, a Spanish guitar
When we started this it was paradise
Not just Bethnal Green
And it's just not right, this waiting game
Making a cuckold of me
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
If you need time
And It's just not like me to have shout
But enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do
That I can't
Translucent and sun-bleached skin
Yeah, when did you get so L.A.?
How can you desert me after
What we've been through?
Stuck on a dreamland
Somewhere is better
You'll be the one missing out
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
If you need time
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
If you need time, time, time
Time, time, time
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
Haven't you words, you words?
Fire with fire, fire, fire with fire
Other, other, other word
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Eye
awsome video xD
Ten years
nice vid and brillo song.. (:

Cool clip, cant help but wonder how long it would have taken to make? stop start animation is tedious! Bet they finished that album before that clip had even been edited for release?
these fairy tale clips are made by Ray Harryhausen in 1940s and 1950s
reminds me of some of Banksy's work
For the Emperor
Hahahahah, thats just fantastic
