i dont think i will ever ever get over the amazingness of this song. i'm blown away every time i hear it. i love watching it live....witnessing the magic happen!
WOAH MAN PROPS TO O'MALLEY AND HIS UNREAL SKILLS ON THIS PERFORMANCE (on absolutely all of them being honest, but he's particularly killing it on this one)
the #1 old song I want to see with the fuller band setup for The Car. would fit Alex's voice perfectly and the bigger band will fill it out well. plus it works well alongside the new songs
Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes That you would rather be beside than in front of But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares She swam out of tonight's phantasm Grabbed my hand and made it very clear There's absolutely nothing for us here It's a magnolia celebration to be attempted on a Wednesday night It's better than to get a reputation as a miserable little tyke At least that's the conclusion she came to in this overture And the secret door swings behind us She's saying nothing, she's just giggling along Her arms were folded most indignant Not looking like she was soon to leave I had to squint in order to believe And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf I'm unveiling the unexpected I, who was earlier reluctant Was suddenly embarrassed and corrected How could such a creature survive in such a habitat?

I don't think so. This version is by far my fav. They got a lot of loud songs, there's no need for another one. You should try to appreciate it in another way. :)

Alex swallowed a dictionary.
Why this song didn't become a single is still a mystery to me.
Crying Lightning, My Propeller and Cornerstone were better suited to be singles
@@g2tennis 10 yrs too late but alright
@@MRPiki-js4jg
Same here XD
@@g2tennis Still the whole album deserved the single
@@g2tennis Crying Lighting yes disagree with the other two
And nobody talks about how beautiful Nick's voice is.
Alex's voice during the Humbug era was a jewel. One of my favourite voices of all time
YES! ALSO IN EYCTE W LAST SHADOW PUPPETS
Yes, I’d say his voice was imperfect and was unique that way, shouldn’t had try to improve too much
i dont think i will ever ever get over the amazingness of this song. i'm blown away every time i hear it. i love watching it live....witnessing the magic happen!
This is literally my favorite song of all time. Could listen to this over and over again and be more amazed each time
WOAH MAN PROPS TO O'MALLEY AND HIS UNREAL SKILLS ON THIS PERFORMANCE (on absolutely all of them being honest, but he's particularly killing it on this one)
This song, not only awesome as it is, has some fucking marvellous piece of lyrics
Crying
Lightning
We need to thank Alexa Chung for this masterpiece of a song. Hell of a muse, that woman.
Man, the Humbug era was so mysthic and beautiful, great album and iconic songs.
God bless Arctic Monkeys.
Best song of the album, it's sad and energetic at the same time. The last part just makes me wanna cry!
Agree...
Reallll
fuck, this song keeps getting more and more amazing each time I listen to it
possibly the greatest song Alex wrote..in my opinion of course
Have u heard, STAR TREATMENT
@@rogergarcia816he wrote that comment in 2013 and star treatment came out w/ tbhc in 2018
This was around the time his voice started to change (for the better). He lost that raspy quality and it became much more smooth.
favourite song EVER
Best song from Humbug :)
What the fuck are you say? The best song of humbug is Cornerstone
@@tiagorodriguez6880 crying lightning for me
@@TheDCxGamers i think this is the top 3
FOOOOOOOOOOOLS ON PARADE
One of my favorites arctic monkeys' songs. I'm going to see them again on November and I hope they play it 🤩
CAN WE APPRECIATE NICKS VOCALS?!?!? 3:11
possibly the best 4 minutes of music all weekend.
This song is so beautiful that it hurts. especially 3:13 onwards. I love you guys!
Ann Luna 6 years later just wanna say have a nice day pretty girl :)
3 years later have a great day gentle man
One of the most underrated am songs
i would do anythin for them to play this live now with alex's matured voice
Oh, they are
the #1 old song I want to see with the fuller band setup for The Car. would fit Alex's voice perfectly and the bigger band will fill it out well. plus it works well alongside the new songs
This is so magical and nostalgic..
I wish they played this song live
oh my god how have i never heard nick sing HES SO GOOD I LOST MY SHT AT 3:19
banger i so wish they still played this live
NEVER HEARD IT LIVE............. EPIC!!!
This album has such a hold on me.
This song is SO beautiful, sometimes when it comes to the final “fools in parade” part, I have to cry.
I love his hair during this era
Jamie is awesome. Reading 2009 is his performance, for sure.
you could hear a pin drop in that audience...
getting better through time
beautiful! I love this song... I love Alex.
waiting for the day they play this again
@senoirEB Best song of the album, it's sad and energetic at the same time. The last part just makes me wanna cry!
0:00-3:54 is the best part, thank me later
its been 3 years and i wanna say thank you
this is my roman empire
such a fucking amazing song
Amazing :)
Magnificent
@lakegrove95 Humbug is probably their best album. I spelled probably wrong so I corrected it by sending another message.
El tema esta buenisimo, la interpretacion muy fria...The song is great, Interpretation its so cold
That's the point.
Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
It's a magnolia celebration to be attempted on a Wednesday night
It's better than to get a reputation as a miserable little tyke
At least that's the conclusion she came to in this overture
And the secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing, she's just giggling along
Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
I'm unveiling the unexpected
I, who was earlier reluctant
Was suddenly embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat?
And the secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing, she's just giggling along
Even if they were to find us
I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied
As all the fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture that holds her absence
But you're daft to think she'd care
Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Conduct a sing-along
@elfernando8 i love his mom too.
Man Alex has such beautiful hair
@cmancrib Yeap i love his mom too
this song need to be played louder. they failed to convey the beauty of the song when they played it live.
Muhammad Reza Fadillah you need turn up your volume at your phone
I don't think so. This version is by far my fav. They got a lot of loud songs, there's no need for another one. You should try to appreciate it in another way. :)
did anyone else notice that nick is playing with his fingers instead of a pick?
@AdmiralOddSock to Nick it isnt
que sarpadisimo tema la puta madre loco! ♥ From Argentina :D
I wasn't making a negative comment, I was saying that even the audience at reading (which I was lucky enough to be apart of) went quiet for it
1 person can't survive in such a habitat !!!
NICHOLAS O'MALLEYYYYY
the dislikes come from unsecret door
@bonsuboy this song is a ballad ,people are not supposed to mosh like metalheads listening to that..do you understand that?
is it possible to tattoo a live performance on your forehead? asking for a friend
technically yes...there'd be a lot of nano sized 1's and 0's...
@lakegrove95 probably*
True, thanks for mentioning it, sorry to be rude.
@lakegrove95 Humbug is probable their best album.. just saying.
Why on heart would they put at a very low volume the keyboards on this song? Blame on the sound guy!
amazing song y alex turner good
Who's THE man who thumbs down?!
They who fools on parade
protect humbug alex at all costs
how can such a creature survive in such a habitat.
2:40 foooools on parade
@Jean2138849 Easily debatable
I love you
Alex seems sad in this concert.
Fools on parade...:3
@iHeadmind Best Humbug song is Cornerstone xD
changed your mind yet? :D
mucho the doors por aquí
bass players probably care
The intro is very the smiths
soo drunk sososososo
Based on the horrendous grammar and spelling in that response, I don't need to say anything at all.
Well, they're stoned.
Ryan Abram they're trying to be stereotypical rockstars... but it hasn't really worked
Ben Howarth or maybe they just like being high lmao
who cares? hahaha
