Man, when Drakkar Noir kicks in at the end... This is the definitive version of both songs.
Trying to be Noir
agreed! Drakkar Noir is the heart and soul of the entire piece!
"Checkmate"
"Merde!"
Love that part.
I think the kid just grunted in frustration. I could be wrong though
@@markasbrown9120 just as a kid in the states will grunt "shi-" or "fu-" in frustration instead of annunciating the whole bad word. Makes sense.
I was looking for this comment
This version is better than the normal studio version, the use of actual guitars instead of synths makes this soo damned good.
3:28 the dancers do that same move in What You Know and The Less I Know the Better. That must be Canada's signature dance choreography.
I feel like this song should play every time I put on sunglasses.
10amSanta mood
-Ur Daily Weirdø- yessss
Play it for your self cause no matter what cool is cool and as long as you feel it why not look it. 😎😊
get the bose frames and it will
👠 or my high heels
this is one of those music videos where you wish you could watch it for the first time again.
Just watched it for the first time
nice profile. depression cherry ?
I found this song a few years back when I saw the music video on TV during Christmas at my grandmother's house. I fell in love with it and listened to it for awhile but eventually forgot pretty much everything about it. All I remembered was Phoenix, the word "testosterone" and that the video was weird and had numbers counting down. And now, years later I just found it again and it really does feel I've finding it for the first time all over again.
Just watched it for the 25 first times today
I saw this video on acid with a friend a couple years back on his living room tv, and we were just awestruck at how beautiful the entire experience was, felt like they were giving us a living room concert, wish I could relive that moment.
This has me in SHAMBLES. I’m making a huge playlist of songs I listened to in high school and of course this emerged. A forever banger! My heart is aching with nostalgia🥲
I hope whoever comes across this version has a stellar day!🌟
I freaking hate that this version isn’t on Spotify
yeah its supreme
I agree. The guitar sounds so much better in this version.
Basically is Trying to be Cool mixed with Drakkar Noir
The ending is a part of Drakkar Noir
@@droydfulyeah but the mix is much better IMO, especially the little guitar solo/fill after the second verse
I still can't believe Phoenix filmed this music video LIVE!!!!!! They just became even more AWESOME!!!!!
Love the guitar in this version.
Gives the song more substance.
agreed, adds rawness
Totally
i agree
I agree
More mint julep testosterone
just revisited this song, and man.
this (and the whole of bankrupt) brought me back to some damn good times. i miss 2013.
still an absolute banger.
Me too man. Something about Phoenix after not listening to them for so many years really can bring me back. Different times by a long shot. Hope youre doing well and damn straight its a kicker of a song
So do I. God, time goes by so quickly.
Same here. Entertainment and this will always bring me back to my teenage days :’(
Phoenix blows my mind literally every time.
Christo *Phoenix blows my mind, literally every time.
+Christo niigggggaaaa
2019?
My old days made me come here againn
these guys are so underrated
+Alejandro leiva uribe underrated means that they r not rated as highly ..as in liked as highly as they should be..they should be more popular than they are right now but they are not.
no, they are well know, but i hope after this collaboration with the now corrupt vice site(riip the true one), they will burn in hell, like being french is not enough...
ganjaman59650 Jesus Christ dude chill
In their home land, France, almost no one ever heard about Phoenix
ganjaman What?
Honestly, if they'd have put this version of the song on Spotify for as long as the album versions, by now it would have been a permanent top 5 song for them with hundreds of millions of plays. This is definitely the best version of both Trying to be Cool and Drakkar Noir and I wish it was on Spotify, lol.
i remember i used to be in love with this song and video, i can't believe i forgot about it, it is so good
same though
same. this song is easy to fall in love with
This song is only 3 years old.
Adam Troy yep and i still forgot about it, idk but the song makes me feel a little nostalgic, and this band hasn't been on my mind for a while.
beatl0
I’ll never forget when my older brother introduced me to Phoenix back when I was 12, now I’m 32 and still love them! Such an amazing band! I’m trying to get tickets to one of their upcoming concerts for my brothers birthday! 🤞
Omg that's freaking awesome you are lucky cool brother heha
French Synth Pop at it's very best! You've got to love Phoenix, they don't even have to try to be cool
Phoenix is one of the best groups I know. Unluckily, I used to listen to them a lot during a really low age of my life, that's why their music brings me bad memories sometimes. I hope this doesn't last too much anymore, cause it'd be a pity if I can´t enjoy listening to them anymore
I know how u feel. I was drinking heavily when this came out& haven't listened to them in awhile....since I've been sober. I've enjoyed listening to them tonight tho. No badness or want to be intoxicated. In fact, I'd like to purchase some of their music because I've had a nice night....w/the rain, my dog& a bowl of Fiber One.
I played them on repeat after a big break up a long time ago, I understand this feeling 😔 it gets better after a long time and it you will feel the fun again from it
phoenix needs to come back asap
update in 2019, they need to come back again!!
ikr
They not finished trying to be cool.
new album is coming out or is released idk
I know dude, this was almost a year ago lmao
OH BOY DID THEY
That Phoenix vibe will always be unique to me, positive, just like Smallpools, but with the awesome guitar riffs. Glad I found indie in the first place!
2:59 i wish they had that part in the album version...
that is the song Drakkar Noir
When I first saw this video, there was something that caught my attention. It was the artistic quality. This is a French band from Versailles. French pop has some of the coolest videos. C'e magnifique.
3:20 best part ever
This is why I love Indie music cause of songs like this 👍
xyzangeel is not indie
it actually is
Additon It is you moron lmfao
+Additon indie now doesn't represent not having a label anymore, it represents a genre in between Synth Pop & Alternative Rock.
***** Yes. Its the best kind of music.
i love the way they all stand
The scariest thing about this song is that I’m worried that someday I won’t be able to hear it again. Say in like 50 years. I love Phoenix forever
I can't get enough of Phoenix! They are so goooood!
Canada is the best music video director of our generation.
Agreed, just look at Tokyo Police Club videos..so nice
xxiPlatinumzz O lol
This is superb! 'The Less I Know The Better' from Tame Impala is another great video.
Its a group of directors lol
I can't describe how much I love this song.
Perfection.
Never let this song die!!!!
This is one of those songs that you just know you're going to love by listening to the first 10 seconds of it.
Why is it shit indie songs have 100 mil and this only has 7 ? This is brilliant.. Its like i feel cool listening to I imagine life and the future just this is great guys!
hipsters
What indie song broke 100 mil views lol
look for them because I saw a few lol
+Sean you're the kind of hipster people hate.
Does anyone know how to instal mc texture packs?
2023 & I still get chill bumps like I did the very first time I heard it.😌
#Timeless🤙🏽
Phoenix is a cool band
the ending of this song is so beatiful
this song is so good
came back for this Masterpiece Song from Phoenix. ❤️
This was a song that led me to my best friend. We were both in uni and we're waiting for our professor and we happened to start chatting and I introduced her this song. Over the next few classes we just started chatting about Phoenix's discography. We're almost 30 now but I always kind of remember the chaotic time we had in college when I revisit this album.
one of the best videos ever
This is a FANTASTIC SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
That one guitarist is the most French looking guy in the world
Lol you are right
This is one of Phoenix's songs I didn't like as much at first but it grew on me because I liked the video. It's so much more satisfying than the instant gratification we get so much from a lot of pop.
Rachel Behik tru at first you're like nah but it really grows on you, this is a mashup of Trying To Be Cool and Drakkar Noir too (another song of theirs!)
Our Lady Of Skyscrapers Yeah I just realised after listening to bankrupt and it's actually so much better with them both combined ahhh
Finally saw them live on Monday. They are definitely mind fellators. My mind was officially blown seeing them. 💥
This is the definitive version of TTBC,. The distorted guitars give it that extra punch, it's perfect
We need a clean audio version of this, D'Arcy's bike kinda breaks the mood
right right and those big phat synths! This record still sounds amazing! As far as I'm concerned these guys are still years ahead of the world.
like the guitar in this
This song is the one for the drummer rest in an album where almolst every song has to take the drumming skills to the limit.
que?
I just heard this band for the first time on PBS and instantly liked their sound, which is very 80's
They're all GORGEOUS
THIS SONG IS GREAT
First like in 5 years.... 😊
this is perhaps the most underrated album and band of all time
2:15 he says 'èchec et mat' to the kid - 'check mate' in French if anyone was wondering
And the kid says "merde!", which mean "shit!" ;)
no, he said, I'm a baller
Ali Akkan sorry, I must have misheard
Matteo Ferrazzi
No, you don't. I'm french and i confirm your translation ;)
Except you write an grave accent on the "e" of "échec" and it's an acute accent, that's all^^
Ninie Bala I know I was joking
thanks for the correction though
LA TOCARON AYER Y CASI LLORO :')) de mis canciones favoritas 💝💝💝💝
Yo tambien casi lloro jaja
This song came out years after I graduated college, bu this band and their songs(even the newer ones) have a way of taking me back to high school and college.
I can’t believe I just watched this video on June 6 of 2024 randomly without knowing it was filmed this same day on 2013 OMG can’t believe how much time it’s been, this is one of my favorite songs takes me back to the good old days
I'm still waiting for this version to be available on Apple Music. I'm not sure what's more underrated the song or the music video.
Really good music video and a great song!
I love the way they can burst into a random trippy bridge and find their way back to the catchy verse and chrous
This is a masterpiece!!!
I don't know if you've noticed, but video diveded into parts and you can always see the next camera preparing to film and countdown of every piece of film!!! That's amazing!!
Great band. Love their songs.
This is the most entertaining video I have ever seen
Phoenix is so underrated!
It felt like it was yesterday that this came out and I just graduated high school man can’t believe it’s been 10 years and still a banger
Love this one. So fun. I stopped trying around 30 😂
they must have had the best time filming this. too awesome!
love this band
I remember watching this ten years ago on my 16th birthday in a pizzeria in Ugljan, Ugljan in Croatia and thinking it was the coolest thing I ever saw
Bro I was 18 and remember when this album came out I was going on a date and man that hyped me for the night lol
I just wanna thank my P.E. teacher for playing this song everyday in 8th grade and getting it stuck in my head. I miss him, he would always make me laugh and listen to new songs. From: your favorite student 2016-2018 :))
Lucky. No one in my school probably even knows Phoenix.
Ewwwitsher awww, maybe in the future you’ll find people who like them at your school!! best of wishes :))
"This song's kinda catchy, what's it called"
"Oh, uh... It's just Phoenix Trying To Be Cool."
"Yea but what's it called..."
Basically a Medley. So, it's Tryin' to be Cool / Drakkar Noir
💀
You’d get my Reddit reward
Edit: award lol
Nice 😂

+Jack Dejaunette e A Oo Ln. I b

Jibby I’m pretty sure it’s the aspect ratio
You ruined it
Guckt es euch an. Das ist das bester Lied das es im Universum gibt.
Hiii it’s 2021 Lol! I can’t believe I just REFOUND THIS SONG! I’m 23 now, going on 24 in December 😭 I was just going through my Snapchat and heard the song on a video I had,,,,,
I’m dying bc I totally forgot about this, I’m so happy rn,
Escucho esta canción después de tantos años ..... So good
Simplemente Me encanta!
I met Phoenix for this song and I just fell in love with them. Such a great band
Glorious song from a Glorious band 💕
Alternative version
City and desert coexist
Depending on the things you're wearing
Wildlife binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
They teach you suffer to resist
Too much intention Presbyterian
Mint julep testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on
Open for business says it all
You can't go wrong
Is Innocence too Immature where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Two dozen pink and white ranunculus
Why, what are the problems to solve?
To part-time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on
Open for business says it all
You can't go wrong
Compliments sound too cynical where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me what they want is
Gruesome
I don't care where you're from
Nothing's that personal
There is no physical evidence of cannibal boyfriends
ALTERNATIVE VERSION:
How I wish I knew
How I wish I knew you from before
'Till I die, 'till I die
'Till I die
Burn the avenues, until the city unfolds
Do we have to know
Do we have to know what truth is?
How I wish I knew
How I wish I knew you from before
'Till I die, 'till I die
'Till I die, 'till I die
I'm just too glad to say no, just too glad to say no
No, no, no, no
Ouvindo aqui em quarentena por causa do corona kkkk relembrando os bons e velhos tempos ♡
Eu descobri eles a pouco tempo kkkkkk, considero novos tempos XD
'If I ever feel better' is also an awesome song.
Love this song so much!!! They are truly in my top 5 of favorite bands!!! 💕🍀😊
The whole video is like a perfect human chain reaction machine, apart from when Mars enters the warehouse at the start, tries to throw his coat onto a peg (trying to be cool), and misses.... oh, the irony :P
And this is why I fucking love phoenix they are such a great band I love every single song from them. Fuck all that coco, u guessed it crap this is real music 👌
that ending section of drakkar noir is so powerful...
so bittersweet dude there's something really special about these guys
Phoenix is one of the best alternative pop bands at least in the last 20 years
if u watch the countdowns in the back the scene changes everytime
it counts down
Best song in Bankrupt.
Hector Giovany Chloroform is my second favorite. But nothing beat this one for me. I'm not really a huge fan of Bankrupt, I think it's a good but not exceptional album.
Mateus Murozaki I agree. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is another story. TotBL is the shit
Mateus Murozaki dude, this might be the 4th video I bump into you. We have really similar taste. Anyway, agreed. Best song in Bankrupt, but I love Entertainment as well. Take it easy
Eblem Ortega Haha, cool. What are some other bands you like?
+Mateus Murozaki lol I see you everywhere I go man
I was looking for this!!
Ha, I found it 😊
.. been years but it stuck in my mind some days and I finally remembered some of the lyrics to search it up. And here I am
That's called art. And no, that's not just some fancy words randomly put together but an artwork. I wish you to enjoy it in a close future.
How long that microphone cable ?
Don't know for sure, but it's damn long!! He went halfway up into the crowd from the stage at Hollywood Bowl with it, then across the audience before going back... dragging that SAME RED CHORD the whole way.... don't know why he doesn't want to use a wireless microphone!
Rizky Alimar and the wire is actually glowing haha
David Pullen Because he's trying to be cool? ;)
Yes
I went out and bought a pair of sunglasses when i heard this song.
I still don't understand how this song didn't get popular on the radio....
I saw Phoenix on my 12th birthday, a few months after Bankrupt dropped. I just turned 21, and this beautiful song and video really takes me back :')
Same age and you lived my childhood dreams as a female dope stuff
I was 12 too when I heard Phoenix 1901 it started at. Beginning of the end of good popular alternative after 2012
My God where is their new album its been years!
This band is so fucking stylish. Those skinny jeans and button-downs ❤
BEST SONG AND MUSIC VIDEO EVERRR!!!
Show in Las Vegas last night was awesome!! City and desert co-exist!
