This is a killer tune. It's always sad to see lineup changes, but Alex makes it work. It still sounds like FF, after all these years. I'm really looking forward to a whole album now. 😁
Thanks. Paul is still our friend and very closely connected to the band. Glad you are enjoying this new sound though. It's still us, just slightly different. Audrey is amazing too.
A bit 60's too. Ever since this song came out, to me it felt like this song is what The Beatles would sound like if they were still around and added a few modern (as in: non-60's) touches to their songs.

Because pop is more happening because it's supposed to unify all of the planet, while the notion of rock isn't "woke" anymore (at least not for the young)?
Gotta be open minded about it. I think for the most part is doesn't really affect most bands stylistically and as long as they keep the tone consistent no much to worry about
The last part of the song was good, everyone making crazy gestures, hahaha, it reminds me of "do you want to" since it is a party atmosphere :) , greetings from Chile 🖐😎
I'm listening to Always Ascending right now, and if this is the bar for the quality of their new stuff - count me excited!! High standards. Loved these guys since I first heard Take Me Out when I was in junior high! Such a tune
Whoops just saw Always Ascending is a 2018 album. I just saw Always Ascending was their RUclips banner, and thought that was their next album. The last album I heard from them was Tonight, so I guess I haven't loved them enough since 2009. That changes today
@@anderskock3848 The forth one is probably my favorite: Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. Their album with Sparks, FFS, is also pretty nice. Always Ascending is good, but not as much in my opinion.
@@sir_smallbladder agreed, I listen to Right Thoughts all the time. It’s an incredible record: the live session “Right Thoughts Right Words, wrong order” is worth it too - it’s a bonus CD on the special edition. I love the other albums too, but listen to this the most.
This song is pure FF essence. Their music has been a part of my life since 2005 and now I have this great song to say farewell to 2021. It really translates it for me 🤷🏼♀️
Seriously weirded out and amazed how this somehow sounds like a mix of all the production techniques from late 80's Bowie hits from the 'Lets Dance' phase onwards.
Los amo, verles en México fue increíble. Son una de las mejores bandas que he visto en vivo, su música tiene una muy buenísima vibra y ustedes son increíbles! Vuelvan pronto!
You are the best, as always never disappoint !!!. Beautiful music, and what to say about Alex Kapranos' voice..For me it is one of the most beautiful voices in the world❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely LOVE IT!! Thanks Diane Martel for another fabulously quirky and fantastic vid. You all sound so awesome and I love Audrey’s style. What a banger of a song. Xx
I'm from germany and after so many month I was searching for the lyrics of these song and I didn't realized that Alex "sang" german. I didn't understood the "Auf Wiedersehen Stecktübe". But now I'm loughing about this fact and about the "Steckrübe" 🤣🤣😆. Thanks a lot FF! Hoffentlich sehe ich die Band in knapp 4 Wochen live in Leipzig 😊!
Pretty sure half of the views are mine. Love the video, the song, the band... everything. My favorite band forever! I can't wait to see you live again.
It's like they never left. The Archdukes of indie rock are back!
Fuck yeah!
This tune would have made the trench soldiers dance together anytime!
Lol nice
I see what you did there 😆
@@InstantLeprosy they don't call me bmanjj2 comedy for nothing 😂😂😂
Alex's voice is still beautiful even after so many years 💙
"So many years"? Come back when he's nearing 70.
More beautiful than ever
Always!!
And his looks . Still gorgeous
I adore the mature Alex even more than his younger self 😚😍☺️

@@franz_ferdinand Yes she is! So excited to see her doing so well! ☺️
He is charisma personified
NO ME GUSTA una baterista mujer en este grupo cambia mucho la imagen del grupo
@@oscarfabianberry8800cope, she is an extremely talented drummer
Probably didn't sing about them,
but Nick and Paul were part of the history of FF.
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits‼️
Could be so many other dudes that slid in & out of Alex's life ...
@@jeanoboyle2439 True, but it was prob about Nick and Paul
I am forever a Franz fanatic. ❤
Did not expect to see cs188 here off all places, makes the internet feel like a small place haha
I actually learned about Franz Ferdinand from your YTPs
Sir dont you have other jojs to do?
“Ses”
Holy cow!!!
Good bye Paul Thompson! The super drummer from Scotland! Thank you for great rhythms!
although I'm gonna miss Paul, I respect his choice and this song is already a bangerz. Cannot wait for the new album!!!
Saaame :(
Who left their drummer?
@@dominicaaaaa5547 Paul
You can feel it
@@dominicaaaaa5547 yes
Yay! Thought we had lost you forever!! Can't wait to bathe in the glory and warmth of new FF music.
The world needs more Franz Ferdinand music 😍
Mid 1970’s glam rock vibes, then turns into late 70’s synth disco in the middle!!! Actually dig this
So very bangin'!!!!
A bit 60's too. Ever since this song came out, to me it felt like this song is what The Beatles would sound like if they were still around and added a few modern (as in: non-60's) touches to their songs.
Considering the Album history of the band, i literally have no idea what this song will sound like when it premiers.
I believe in Alex Kapranos supremacy.
As do i
The world needs more of that kapranos flair
Simp (me too)
Absolutely! Alex is King. ❤️🔥😍
Same here
Loved this band at 20, love them at 38.
D-d-don't forget the best bits

I can't deny
I thought at last
I can't deny I thought
Auf Wiedersehen steckrübe

When we can worry about the future?
Havе a very merry future

I prefer to walk out
I prefer to walk on
Walk into the future
Have a merry, merry future

"The band always find a way to reinvent itself while still being the same Franz Ferdinand we all know and love" THIS!!!
2nd favorite song from FF!!I ( Right action is my 1# ) love FF so much love this video love everything
Alex never gets old. Very amazing music and I'm glad FF is back
I’ll always love Franz Ferdinand❤️❤️❤️
It was nice to see bob smile, if only briefly haha. Wonderful song!
this fire is out of control !!!!!!
WE NEED MORE
Great band
Such a banger. Idk why this isn't bigger.
@SamuelEMPowell131 thanks I'll check them out
Because pop is more happening because it's supposed to unify all of the planet, while the notion of rock isn't "woke" anymore (at least not for the young)?
@@jeanoboyle2439 take those conservative talking points elsewhere. So lame.
@@dasritzoo9234 Wow, really? That's not what I want - it's what the suits live for.
@@jeanoboyle2439man get this shit out of a franz ferdinand comment section
The best song of this Band
Loving this! Video has a vibe of the debauched after-party of "Do You Want To".
It does have a bit of that feel doesn't it?
Seconded
Yeaaaah!!
And the sound reminds me of FFS
Same director: Diane Martel. (I also just scared myself by remembering that fact after 15+ years, lol)
The band so cool!!
Oh man, I just love the guitars on this track
Thanks. That was me and Dino. AK
Absolute bonkers and I am here for it
😁
Can’t wait to see you on a gig again ❤️❤️❤️
Killing it! I'm 30 now at at 17 FF snuck myself and a friend into a gig. Thanks for being the soundtrack to my life FF!
billy goodbye 🙌🙌
LOVING THIS SO MUCH! AND AUDREY IS A GEM!
Happiest Birthday to Youst ALEX !! 50 !!..Greetings from Uruguay..
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS
Frantastic!
This has a Talking Heads vibe and Alex is channeling his inner David Byrne.
Both INTPs
Raj D. I very much agree with you there.
Classic Franz Ferdinand! Awesome
Was a bit nervous after another lineup change, but it's a great tune!!
Hope you gonna make a song review! Love you john
Gotta be open minded about it. I think for the most part is doesn't really affect most bands stylistically and as long as they keep the tone consistent no much to worry about
@@AmbientMess well what about changing of tones with lineup changes? Doesn't need to be a bad thing ;^)
Yes, indeed. Also, I didn't know there was a lineup change with the band.
One of my very favorite groups
The last part of the song was good, everyone making crazy gestures, hahaha, it reminds me of "do you want to" since it is a party atmosphere :) , greetings from Chile 🖐😎
Alex is a easy going and great guy to talk with, met him last night in Philadelphia. Looking forward to the Philly show at The Filmore.
彼らのグラムロックサウンドはとにかく魅力的♪

@@sir_smallbladder Ahh I actually heard Right Action, it was very catchy, and had a very classic FF feel
@@sir_smallbladder I'd like to check out FFS since my dad is a Sparks fan, so maybe we could bond over that lol

It's a miserable day, back in November
Newcastle is grey, as grey as a river
But…there’s a new song coming out😂
Nice lyric reference. ak
Back when Franz was good
Please come to Chile! 🥺
¡Son geniales! No puedo esperar a que regresen a México.
You are great! I can't wait for you guys to go back to Mexico.
X2
Dios te oiga que venga a México ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@alexisbanuelosnunez8634 así es 👌
Encontrarte en los comentarios es ❤ pero si. Ojalá vuelvan pronto:(
@@YoSoyPepinillo X 3 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I'm old enough to remember Talking Heads, but young enough to enjoy this. Top Tune!
Can’t wait for the live shows again. 💙
YOU ARE BACK ... love u guys!
Kapranos doesn’t sound like he’s aged after all these years, whilst him appearing like a fine wine.
he is not 82 he is 49 ......
That's so true!
@@home4810 Darts of Pleasure was released over 18 years ago. I’d argue one can sound different after that long. 😁
Loving the "Do you want to?" Vibe
This song is pure FF essence. Their music has been a part of my life since 2005 and now I have this great song to say farewell to 2021. It really translates it for me 🤷🏼♀️
Me remonta a los tiempos de la canción de "Do you want to", de verdad que no pierden su esencia, los amo Franz Ferdinand!!
Entre los fans service de Curious ahora Billy Goodbye, parece que el nuevo disco va a ser completamente un autoplagio
I love this vintage vibes!!
That voice ❤️
Very catchy earworm. 😍
Seriously weirded out and amazed how this somehow sounds like a mix of all the production techniques from late 80's Bowie hits from the 'Lets Dance' phase onwards.
Man. They never fail.
Glad to see my favorite band is back to it! Here's hoping the album is another banger!
This is one of my favorite bands, I'm so glad they continue to make music, greetings from Chile!
Awesome
Really really excited to hear a new song again
Beautiful song, amazing video, the best band ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In 2004 I learned how to play guitar by strumming my heart out along to this album. Magical. Thank you!
Obsessed thank you guys
Amamos el comeback de Franz Ferdinand. Gran vídeoclip y alto temazo
Ya era hora de que volvieran y se me hará raro ver a la nueva baterista como me pasó con los dos nuevos integrates pero ya me acostumbraré
OMG Liz te vine a encontrar en el yt jaja 🥺
@@kimdr4cuula jeje, sí. Acá andamos apoyando a los Franzos
everything about them is so amusing. I love it
I adore it! THANKS guys for this beautiful song and video and THANKS Diane Martel for being part of this wonderful family! Greetings from Argentina ♥
Anyone else thinks Franz Ferdinand has the best music videos?🙌
Los amo, verles en México fue increíble. Son una de las mejores bandas que he visto en vivo, su música tiene una muy buenísima vibra y ustedes son increíbles! Vuelvan pronto!

You're still damn good. Love you!!!
Franz Always got The Best Hits!!! 🤩
This song reminded me of Billy Herrington.
He was a good man.
I miss him.
I love this sound and the clip was shot as if in the 90s ❤️
This video has details, details, but not a plot.
I love it!
I was already excited because of the card and it didn't disappoint!
Good to see Roxy Music still kicking it
I absolutely LOVE IT!! Thanks Diane Martel for another fabulously quirky and fantastic vid. You all sound so awesome and I love Audrey’s style. What a banger of a song. Xx
Yeah this is a banger.
I don't know when I became obsessed with Franz Ferdinand...but here I am.
AWESOME!!!
I'll consider this a graduation gift 😝 Love it a lot!!!
i am so excited omg
What a song and music video! Love y'a guys!✨❤
yes
Soooo goooood! Can't wait to see you on stage playing this song! Much love from Russia, Moscow miss you 🤗💚💚💚💚
Hello Moscow! Thanks for coming along today. AK
@@franz_ferdinand thanks for inviting!
I also hope for a gig in Russia as soon as the pandemic is over. I hate to choose between baby-sitting my grandkids and going to ff gig.

Pretty sure half of the views are mine. Love the video, the song, the band... everything. My favorite band forever! I can't wait to see you live again.
Old Franz Ferdinand sound. That's not what I was expecting, but what I was needing.
So much fun! Can't stop listening to it. 😻
So cool😎✨
Ha vuelto Franz Ferdinand!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I've been there since the early days. Thank you for fantastic music.
This is brilliant! Sounds right out of Kimono my House by the classic 1974 Sparks.
It's incredible! I'm so happy you stayed true to your own very special style!
Grandessss!!

Grandísimos 🇲🇽🇲🇽😎
Yes! This is so catchy I love it!!
