these guys are so underrated their music is way better than a lot of the mainstream. but you know what? im kind of glad, all of the true fans have these guys to them selves :)
I saw them live in Dublin a couple weeks ago, and they played this song. This song has been there for me for so many beginnings and ends, defining times of my life; good and bad and with each thing the song grew a different meaning. I guess you could say the song grew up with me. I cried during this song, and I was shocked Alex saw me crying while singing along (I was in the fornt). After the song, he had stated I was crying and that in a way it was moving. I think in that moment of listening to it live, a bit of everything I felt came through throughout all those years. It was the best live concert I've been to and I wish all members of the band--current and retired--thank you for an art like no other
I love the lyric "...Radio 4 is static". One of the signs British nuclear submarines look for to indicate Britain has fallen in a war is if Radio 4 stops broadcasting.
i used to listen to franz ferdinand a lot when i was in middle school, now listening again to them makes me realize how deep they were... such amazing music :'(
I think most of us wish we were that cool in middle school.. I remember I listened to rap music even though I hated it just because it's what other kids did. Listening to such a good band at a young age is a gift.
I was in 8th grade when I used to listen to them..I'm glad I listened to various genres of rock bands back then and being not like a typical teenager. But as teens we had better mainstream music as well back then..I loved watching Audioslave, Green day, My Chemical Romance, Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, The Feeling etc. on Mtv and mostly on Vh1 and found Franz Ferdinand in a CD shop..after which I heard it on my walkman all the time.
This never grows old. My favourite Franz song if not my favourite song. Alex is so beautiful in this video. Saw them live and they are as amazing as my first FF gig in 2005.
[Verse 1] I swapped my innocence for pride Crushed the end within my stride Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver I love the sound of you walking away Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh And I am cold Yes I'm cold But not as cold as you are I love the sound of you walking away You walking away I love the sound of you walking away Walking away [Pre-Chorus] Why don’t you walk away? Why don’t you walk away? Why don't you walk away? [Chorus 1] No buildings will fall down Don't you walk away No quake will split the ground Won't you walk away The sun won't swallow the sky Won't you walk away Statues will not cry Don't you walk away Why don’t you walk away? Why don’t you walk away? Why don’t you walk away? [Verse 2] I cannot stand to see those eyes As apologies may rise I must be strong, stay an unbeliever And love the sound of you walking away You walking away Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh And I’m not cold I am old At least As old as you are La-la-la... [Pre-Chorus] And as you walk away Oh as you walk away And as you walk away [Chorus 2] My headstone crumbles down As you walk away The Hollywood wind’s a howl As you walk away The Kremlin’s falling As you walk away Radio Four is static As you walk away Oh as you walk away Oh as you walk away [Outro] The stab of stiletto On a silent night Stalin smiles Hitler laughs Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung On the back
"Walk Away" I swapped my innocence for pride Crushed the end within my stride Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver" I love the sound of you walking away Mascara bleeds a blackened tear And I am cold Yes I'm cold But not as cold as you are I love the sound of you walking away Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down Why don't you walk away? No quake will split the ground Why don't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky Why don't you walk away? Statues will not cry I cannot turn to see those eyes As apologies may rise I must be strong and stay an unbeliever And love the sound of you walking away Mascara bleeds into my eye I'm not cold I am old At least as old as you are As you walk away And as you walk away My headstone crumbles down As you walk away The Hollywood wind's a howl As you walk away The Kremlin's falling As you walk away Radio 4 is static As you walk away The stab of stiletto On a silent night Stalin smiles Hitler laughs Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung On the back
This has to be the song that solidified my love for this band. They're just so amazing at doing their own thing while still showing their influences through it.
This is a fantastic song. If anyone is interested here's what i believe it means.. the protagonist loves the girl but he cannot commit to her. She has perhaps hurt him and he refuses to concede forgiveness, remaining a cold-hearted unbeliever in love. But rather than tell her so, he resorts to cruel behavior to drive her away, telling himself she was cruel and cold first, he doesn't need her and nothing will change once she's gone. But when she does leave, his world shifts towards the dark in ways unexpected and he keenly feels her absence. At end of the song he is surrounded by the ghosts of historic masters of war celebrating his tactical victory as the sound of her receding foorsteps leaves him to his self-imposed isolation.
Been a fan for almost 20 years, since their debut album, and saw them live in 2010. Such a GREAT BAND, going back to these old songs after so long I realize how really good they are. And they are the best live band of their generation (and I saw their counterparts Interpol, Strokes, etc)

Wow, you remembered a song from when you were 5 years old? I barely remember what I was doing when I was 5. Granted, I am twice as old as you are, but still :D
I don't want to be THAT person but I should point out that indie music is not a genre in terms of sound. The indie genre is music produced independently (from major labels). If we're being technical, the indie sound is actually alternative rock.
This band is soooooo full of surprise, the sound is simply amazing, for me this is one of the most talented band of the 2000's. Every song is a masterpiece!!! And i know that i found they by new album, but i'm repearing😳
A primeira vez que ouvir a voz de Frans Ferdinand confundir, achei que era a voz de Elves Presley , achei parecido então pesquisei de quem era essa música , rock e descobri que era esse cara que cantava walk away , sensacional , muito massa esse som , belíssimo som e ótima voz!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I listened to this a lot while I was getting over my ex. Now I'm over him. I have been for a while. And I have a new guy who's better. =D Dunno why, I just felt like sharing. Good song for when you're heartbroken.

We miss those days.
@@LightningForce4427 rap music is often a political commentary itself.
This band has such an amazing style, and such brilliant lyrics. I never get tired of listening their songs.
The tiny eyebrow raise before he says "as cold as you are"
His eyes are so beautiful....
This never grows old. My favourite Franz song if not my favourite song. Alex is so beautiful in this video. Saw them live and they are as amazing as my first FF gig in 2005.
Then you would love The Divine Comedy
[Verse 1]
I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
Walking away
[Pre-Chorus]
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
[Chorus 1]
No buildings will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away
Statues will not cry
Don't you walk away
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
[Verse 2]
I cannot stand to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong, stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I’m not cold
I am old
At least
As old as you are
La-la-la...
[Pre-Chorus]
And as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
And as you walk away
[Chorus 2]
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind’s a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin’s falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
[Outro]
The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back
"Walk Away"
I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry
I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
As you walk away
And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away
The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps

Beautifulas FUCK lyrics
this group is just amazing. I cannot believe they are not even bigger than they were
i love the way he pronounces "static", like there will be "public void main" after
We C what you did there.

I swapped
My innocence
For pride
Crushed the end
Within my stride
Said I'm strong
Now I know
That I'm a leaver
I love the sound
Of you
Walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds
The blackened tear
Oh
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as
Cold as you are
I love the sound
Of you
Walking away
You walking away
I love the sound
Of you
Walking away
Walking away
Hey hey
Why don't you
Walk away
Why don't you
Walk away
Why don't
You walk away
No buildings
Will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake
Will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't
Swallow the sky
Won't you walk away
Statues will not cry
Don't you walk away
Why don't you walk away
Why don't you walk away
Why don't you walk away
Hey
I cannot
Stand to see
Those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong
Stay an unbeliever
And love the sound
Of you
Walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds
Into my eye
Oh
And I'm not cold
I am old
At least
As old as you are
And as you
Walk away
Oh as you
Walk away
And as you
Walk away
My headstone
Crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood
Wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Hey
The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
And Hitler laughs
Churchill claps

The melody of the song is like as if she says "everything is fucked up. This is the end." and you are completely okay with that. I love it!
But he's not okay with it. She walks away and his world falls apart.
I love the poetic vibes this song has
Спасибо Алекс 🎉, очень приятно смотреть и слушать Вас ❤
my favourite song from the 60’s
I haven't listened to this song in like 11 years. It's a different feeling when you're 16 and not 5 years old anymore... it's so surreal.
Wow, you remembered a song from when you were 5 years old? I barely remember what I was doing when I was 5. Granted, I am twice as old as you are, but still :D
one of the most underrated songs
what you mean my dreamy guy is 42, seriously, he seems like he is in his late 20's and omg i totally should be 20 years older *cries in the corner*
Bedonnantx Allez
He's 32 in this video
@@francescobonfiglio9142 HE LOOKS 17 OMG
hey at least your legal some of us still have to wait 😔✊
Gosh these dudes are awesome..
maybe the best indie band
they are Indie band??I thought they goes too major label
I don't want to be THAT person but I should point out that indie music is not a genre in terms of sound. The indie genre is music produced independently (from major labels). If we're being technical, the indie sound is actually alternative rock.
one day this song will get the respect it deserves 😤
Still the most beautiful song I've ever heard
agreeeeeeeeee :D
indeed
Then you should listen to Come As You Are Nirvana...
Then you should listen to Eighties by Killing Joke.........
Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush Don't give up for me
Such a beautiful song! Alex's voice is just so beautiful just like the man himself!
Your Profile photo 😉
Absolutely adore the Hitchcock references in this video! Two of my favorite things merging together. :)
check out Last Cup of Sorrow by Faith No More;)
Romantic about second people
Are you single?
which referense are you talking about? can you let me know? i want to watch some hitchcock movies
Their best song. Perfectly matched video.
one of the greatest FF's songs... damn, I love this band so much!
Such an underrated band...
This band is soooooo full of surprise, the sound is simply amazing, for me this is one of the most talented band of the 2000's. Every song is a masterpiece!!!
And i know that i found they by new album, but i'm repearing😳
Like the darkish mood of the song and the Hitchcock inspired video. Pure perfection

It never gets old! It never gets annoying! And the video is sooo good! All of their music is and their videos are too.
