I used to work graveyard shift in downtown LA back when this was new, I remember listening to my ipod whole watching the city lights and cars go by....such a haunting tranquility
wow 259000 views...we should really make another video. thanks to everyone who has said really nice things about this video. props to gav, aaron and mike too, was a team thing... hi jim hope you are well x
OmG !!! What a stunning video, both sound and image !!! Best videoclip i've watched in months and months !!! Great work to me !!! Like it how it's dark and menacing, and also how the glow suddenly slowly fly off the streetlights into the dark sky... Mesmerizing...
Great son man one of my favorite song from SILENT ALARM , GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY. my soul cry when I listen this song and the video wordless man fantastic job , once I pull down like in the video and it was a great experience that you can not explain in words have to live and you'll know what I mean
I know man!!! I was going back in a car and acctually for a whole hour I was listening this song just for this guitar.. This part also motivates me for learning how to play guitar. This guitar is amazing indeed..
Credit where it's due, this is leaps and bounds above the standard for music videos at the moment, I hope these guys find their place in the industry because this was an absolute joy to watch.
This song makes me think of those nights listening to it (having gotten through all of Weekend and the rest of Silent Alarm) and its dark with just illuminescant lighting at my college wandering around alone. (Had late as hell classes)
now that's a surprise comment! doing very well, thank you! :) still loving this album to this day - even saw two of the anniversary shows in 2018. hope you're good, too!
Wow, I am amazed at the quality of work and the overall effect of the video. What an unbelievable job you guys did. You guys took my favourite BP song.. and made one of, if not, THE best video that could have possibly been part of the Bloc Party video catalogue. Excellent work! Here's hoping you'll make some more!
this song is great!!! We sit and we sigh And nothing gets done So right, so clued-up We just get old And all the while Been torn asunder Nicotine And bacteria wonder wat the inspiration for it was??? some of their songs have strange lyrics but i love bloc party!!! :)
Awesome video! Loved this song for years and your video is definitely connected to me and the song on a level that only one individual could understand
amazing video, sums up exactly what i had always been picturing when i listened the song there's a live version of compliments, an early one i think, the lyrics are quite different but it's still amazing
ahhh, this music smells of the earlier naughties, a time where things were still ambiguous and not definitively fucked yet, when the shit coming out of the seams only began to be seen....BP is taking me back right now
oh man i think that's not bad acting!i did for an mtv commercial one year ago and i thought my work was bad too!i suppose that everybody is more particular with his own creations...the video is well-done, it has details that reminds interpol's PDA, royksopp's remind me or air's sexy boy, but is very exact the images with the sounds loops-great editing, congratulations!
bloc party is amazing. they are one of the few bands that put so much emotion in their songs. great song
Don Diablo I completely agree
True!
You are the DJ who used to play A LOT in Ministry of Fun in Slovakia 🌟
I used to work graveyard shift in downtown LA back when this was new, I remember listening to my ipod whole watching the city lights and cars go by....such a haunting tranquility
I know that feel bro.
Relatable G!
This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being young, single, broke, and living alone.
Its 2020 and I still come back to this song on insomniactic nights
I’m having one of those nights
5am again. me rn
I remember watching this on the family computer when I was like 14 and now I’m all grown able to understand this man’s routine
2:16. So damn beautiful. I'll never understand how so many people can't hear it....
I do I do I do
I do, as well
Got it
it's a long shot I know, but to me this solo is one of the most beautyfull guitar solo's ever.
damn true..
I keep coming back to this song, it just never fails to make me feel something. I have loved this band since the beginning and I always will
2:16 Russell's delay effect. Haunting. Mesmerisingly beautiful.
Haunting and such a beautiful piece of art. This is an all time song for me. Such emotion.
My favorite Bloc Party tune. That ambient intro is so good.
When the guitar kicks in it sends shivers down my spine. At the risk of sounding over the top, it makes me feel like i can achieve anything.
Bloc party is a awesome band .. without words for this song
wow 259000 views...we should really make another video.
thanks to everyone who has said really nice things about this video. props to gav, aaron and mike too, was a team thing... hi jim hope you are well x
If there is anyone who captures the feeling and mood given off by this song, you have it firmly in your clutch. Excellent work.
So fun to play on guitar. Simple, sweet, and to the point. And the vocals. Ahhhhh
this is one of my favorite songs from Silent Alarm and the video was actaully really cool. awesome stuff.
one of my fav BP songs, its such a relaxing song!!
This song is soooooooooooooo awsome, its like euphoria! i cant get enough of this song, or the band
This song is too beautiful
fucking BEST unofficial music video I have ever seen... fitting perfectly to the melancholy of the song
It's so frustrating when you sit someone down to listen to a song like this, and they say it was ok....Arrrrggggggg!
Wow. I really love this. Compliments is one of my absolute favorite songs.
In my opinion, one of Bloc Party's best earlier work. I like that description, "so damn beautiful".
i cant even describe how much i love this songs intro
Absolutely Brilliant. Why they are not known as much in America, I'll never understand.
2018 im here, back 15 years
Nick Popov 2019 and im still here
Boeh
May 2020. Still here. First heard this song in 2005.
Tom Forde, very Cronenberg-esque visuals, perfect video for this song. Well done.
Love this song! The video fits perfectly!
Very beautiful song. I get Radiohead vibes, the haunting feeling it gives. Also some post-rock vibes.
and we sit, and we sigh
and nothing gets done
yum. amazing.
Amazing song, great lyrics, Love this band so much :) Video is very well thought out..great visuals
perhaps bloc party's most underrated songs...i use to skip it buts it's actually so so good..
The world loves this song,they just dont know it yet.
Bloc Party was the 2nd best thing that ever happend to me! The 1st was the lady you see sitting next to me! I miss her so bad :-(
Wow. I haven't noticed that it's fan-made 'til i read the description! Very good job!!!
OmG !!! What a stunning video, both sound and image !!! Best videoclip i've watched in months and months !!! Great work to me !!! Like it how it's dark and menacing, and also how the glow suddenly slowly fly off the streetlights into the dark sky...
Mesmerizing...
that is the best fan video i have ever seen. and that is such a great song aswell. well done!!
i makes me feel nostalgic but kinda happy, it always helps me like chill whatever mood im in
This is beautiful! ❤️❤️
August 2021 this is so great to listen too.
Great son man one of my favorite song from SILENT ALARM , GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY. my soul cry when I listen this song and the video wordless man fantastic job , once I pull down like in the video and it was a great experience that you can not explain in words have to live and you'll know what I mean

blocparty 4life
I think this is quite possibly the best song bloc party have ever written
I know man!!! I was going back in a car and acctually for a whole hour I was listening this song just for this guitar.. This part also motivates me for learning how to play guitar. This guitar is amazing indeed..
Credit where it's due, this is leaps and bounds above the standard for music videos at the moment, I hope these guys find their place in the industry because this was an absolute joy to watch.
i really love this song and never get tired of it
This song makes me think of those nights listening to it (having gotten through all of Weekend and the rest of Silent Alarm) and its dark with just illuminescant lighting at my college wandering around alone. (Had late as hell classes)
God, how awesome is that!? It fits totally perfect to the song, hell. One of the best videoclips I've ever seen.
15 years ago comment, I hope you're okay today!
now that's a surprise comment! doing very well, thank you! :) still loving this album
to this day - even saw two of the anniversary shows in 2018. hope you're good, too!
this song is timeless
We sit and we sigh
And nothing gets done
So right, so clued-up
We just get old
And all the while
Been torn asunder
Nicotine
And bacteria
how apt that the song addressing 'hating your job' involves a suited guy in a city poppin pills. Good effort matey!
Wow that brought tears to my eyes. I totally didn't expect that to happen. Good massage, man.
Great end to a Great album.
One of the best bloc song! I never seen this clip. Amazing video. I love this rare song. It reminds me some The Cure song´s. Impresionante
And the award for the best song to be played late at night in a dark room is, for the 20th year running…..
Wow, I am amazed at the quality of work and the overall effect of the video. What an unbelievable job you guys did. You guys took my favourite BP song.. and made one of, if not, THE best video that could have possibly been part of the Bloc Party video catalogue.
Excellent work! Here's hoping you'll make some more!
This song grows on you like crazy.
ha,ha, thats funny, i can't live without this song....
The guitar line in the middle gets me every time
tom ford never ceases to amaze
no but i see where your coming from.
this video is really well done and made. fits the song pecfectly.
editors but no where near this level of amaziness
I LOVE this song!!!!! I LOVE Bloc Party
this song is great!!!
We sit and we sigh
And nothing gets done
So right, so clued-up
We just get old
And all the while
Been torn asunder
Nicotine
And bacteria
wonder wat the inspiration for it was???
some of their songs have strange lyrics
but i love bloc party!!! :)
THE best unofficial video i have ever seen.
Bloc Party needs to buy this shit! :)
great, great song. and the video - fantastic !!
Awesome, Blimming Brilliant!
Very nice song from very good band... This videoclip make me a little depressed,but I always want to sleep when Im listening this song:) GR8 JOB!
Memory of my childhood. It makes me sad
I love day dreaming to the song!
Awesome video! Loved this song for years and your video is definitely connected to me and the song on a level that only one individual could understand
music, as usual, most accurately describes my 'feelings', although it's such a strange word.
This is crazy! this should be the official video!
Silent Alarm is probably the best Indi Pop ROck album since the last 20 years
great absolutely.
you should do sth to have it released in tv or get it official.
i am stucked so cool.
& all the while we're torn asunder. That's class.
Bloc Party is my new fav. band!!
amazing song!!! =)
awesome song. AND awesome band. AND awesome lyrics :)
it couldn't have been said better:D...love the song and the video:x
This is so fucking amazing. You guys should post more videos from Bloc Party like this. Truly great work.

Bloc Party Only The Best!!!!!
wowowowowowowo!
Does Bloc Party need a new MV? HERE IT IS!
AMAZING!
I love it~
amazing video, sums up exactly what i had always been picturing when i listened the song
there's a live version of compliments, an early one i think, the lyrics are quite different but it's still amazing
i never saw this video before, it's beatiful!
this song has a real eery feel to it or something!!
Excellent video!, I'm impressed, though I also wished Bloc Party would've released this track.
Awesome choice of song for that portrayal of our kinda cracked society.
that's some seriously cool made video.
congrats to that!
This video is AMAZING!!! mayor props man!
ahhh, this music smells of the earlier naughties, a time where things were still ambiguous and not definitively fucked yet, when the shit coming out of the seams only began to be seen....BP is taking me back right now
fantastic song from a fantastic band.
This is good. I would love to see what you could do with budget. Thumbs up to you.
i LOVE the intro to this song
oh man i think that's not bad acting!i did for an mtv commercial one year ago and i thought my work was bad too!i suppose that everybody is more particular with his own creations...the video is well-done, it has details that reminds interpol's PDA, royksopp's remind me or air's sexy boy, but is very exact the images with the sounds loops-great editing, congratulations!
you did a great job with this man big ups to ya
so awesome, nice work!!!
brings tears to my eyes everytime i listen to it.
and no, I'm not gay.
By the way, is that bit with the cables an expression of how we're all part of the machine?
I dream of it in HD
awesome vid ,I love bloc party!
