This song used to make me feel so happy and free. Now, though, it just makes me feel melancholy.
Why couldn’t these guys stick together. That debut album was so damn good. They weee like that rate thing that came out the gates fully formed with a fully realized album that was pretty much perfect. The Stone Roses. The Libertines. Palma Violets. I miss you guys. Crewel Intentions…
I love this song, but i find it quite sad and nostalgic for some reason. One of my faves tho
same... reminds me of ~2014/13 when I used to listen to it
Austen Lee Carlin I get that
I know it was only 5 years ago, but this song makes me super nostalgic... I miss 2012/13
SAME
Same indeed
Lucas Blackwell for real!!
British music is always the best. You Brits should be very proud. Signed, an envious Yank.
It's a very reciprocal relationship across the pond, between us! We'd not have what we've had without American rock n roll. Very often British bands try their own version of American sounds and take it somewhere really cool and Americans take it somewhere else! However... Brostep? Our relationship got a bit rocky there... ;)
Total bollocks, The doors are American. USA! from a brit.
SelfReferencingName not to nitpick, but Skream was the biggest dubstep star in the world and he practically pioneered brostep. same with Benga. so who's really responsible ;)
British musicians are far superior to anything America has ever produced. It's in their lineage!
exactlywhatisaid Skream was not the most popular Dubstep artist, nor did he have anything to do with Brostep. The Brostep sound was genuinely pioneered by Skrillex (not joking)! I wasn't a fan of Brostep, but I can definitely appreciate the talent that went into it!
If alternative music was still like this i would still be listening to it. Great stuff.
1:52 It sounds like he's drunkenly singing this song on a pub tabletop before he slips off when he starts the chorus.
SelfReferencingName the best 😂
this is the ultimate friendzone song
***** You probably need to edit that comment again.
hahaha... used it once for that reason! worked
Savanna Irwin 😂🙌
This is gonna be my Summer 'weed smoking and beach' track. Can't fucking wait :D
how'd it go? :D
it's my all year weed smokin beach track lmao
miss this band, they deserved more
Best song from an English band I've heard in years.
Deserved so much more rave reviews, reminds me of
The Clash
the drumming is definitely like the clash
This song is incredible, so underrated, why wasn't it bigger?!
Because real music is passé nowadays.
Cause it’s not auto tune bollocks.
"I wanna be your best friend, I don't want you to be my girl"
If someone used this song to friendzone me, I wouldn't even be mad. It's THAT good of a song.
He's just saying he's gay in a more sensible way
@@aousification agreed. And it's gross lol
@@lancegoodthrust546 ????
Actually this is such a nice thing to say
I always thought it was more like a proper long term relationship is more than just having ‘a girl(friend)’ like your not my girlfriend your my woman … my best friend.
I still love this band so much. I wish they were still together. If y'all see this please consider another project of something similar. Y'all have massive talent.
One of the best songs I've heard in ages.
Saw them at Fruit in Hull last night. Had never even heard them before until then, and I was really
i heard this song yesterday live and its stuck in my head ever since can't stop listening to it. its so so good
Every once in awhile a song comes along that you get addicted to.. Cant stop listening.
One of the best bands i've ever seen live, actually unmissable
For some reason this song almost makes me cry. It's so full of... everything. Wonderful song.
this makes me so happy but sad at the same time? idk why lmao
Certain chords do that to humans 🙏
I AM JUST FEALLY OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG RIGHT NOW.
This song is so good it hurts
This chorus is big! 2012 has given us good music... Peace, Palma Violets, Alaska Campus, The Family Rain and Swim Deep. Amazing.
I dont have to listen to the whole song to know that, palma violets gonna be one of my favorites bands!
awesome in Southampton well done guys!
best song I've heard from a British band since the Kaiser chiefs. .
They remind me of The Clash
Heard this on the radio last night and had to look it up again.. Great great sound
You wanna just be friends? Okay that's fine. Best friends?even better! I'm totally happy with friend zoning each other. Really this is a great idea, I couldn't be happier....
Reverse psychology. Watch is work.
Haha, I like that
Lol, pissed off because it happened to you before?
I actually don't mind. I know I can get over them knowing they don't want a relationship so I'm super happy keeping their friendship.
Kayla Oster 😂😂😂
How has it been 9 years? This band encapsulated one of the best periods of my life. I'm old as now
I love this. I wished the rest of the album lived up to this gorgeousness.... :(
that's weird, 180 has always stood out to me as a rare album which is consistently great. You can pick almost any song from that album and I will love it.
Going to see them this Thursday in Boro'....the first time I'll have seen them....can't wait!!!! :)
This is the best song I've heard in such a long time
Love love love Palma Violets!! Bring on the festival performances of 2013
Man. This song. smdh. the feels.
DoctorBurgundy seriously!! So good!
True plus I did some research and yes rough trade did indie at the start. Indie seems to be getting more musically simple or raw(that's a good thing)
Damn, just started listening to these guys but already I'm very impressed
They're opening for Franz Ferdinand on Monday in San Diego! Sweet!
Great energetic vibes. Love it!
Best tune out in a few years!!!!!!!
Heard this on 6 music a few weeks back, couldn't find the band's name until now, just after Jools Holland. Very happy..
+volume +volume +volume +volume proceed to head bang gently and air guitar when I can't even play XD
just incredible live, want to see you guys again!
Friend zone anthem.
Well, I believe it is actually the other way around. The song is friendzoning a girl. So it would be the friend zone anthem for girls.
Hernán Fariñas Vales 😂😂
some guy i just met showed this song to me. im really glad he did because i love this so much.
This band is quality live, saw them at the Coronet in London they really knew how to control the crowd
Saw these guys live last week at the opener festival. They where amazing! !!
Saw you at Tunbridge wells forum ages ago. Sick ass show. Remember the bassist getting in the crowd. Almost took out the crowd. Good memories. And a good song. X
These lads are quality. This song and Fear Walks With You by Young Believers have been on constant youtube rotation in my bedroom tonight! Still not sick of either yet though!
I love chilli on lead vocals! Wish he was lead vox more!!!
Quality, pure excellence
I just watched you guys on Jules. Great song! Keep up the good work - you'll go far.
Big Tune!!
Vai todo mundo se lascar.
Translation: Best song in the world!!!
i dont know if its single of the year, i only know its an excellent track that brings great alternative music back in the frontline ar at leat it tries.
quality tune and we should take it n hear it fir what it is n not for the nme award
I loved Palma Violets , from Brazil ;)
Saudades da antiga MTV que nos revelava essas pérolas 💔
Saw this song played live in 2015 @ benicassim Spain… best time of my life
i watched this again in 2018 !
Reydi bitch 2019
here again in 2020
que vaina tan arrecha(venezuelan expression) this band is amazing! greetings from Venezuela
What a perfect little pop tune. x
Took me a while to get into these guys but now they are sooo good!
When I heard this song I though "OMG ROUGH TRADE GOT THE NEW LIBERTINES!" then I saw them live and liked their performance, but sincerely, after listening carefully to their debut album I was rather disappointed, I was expecting more.
I discovered this song on sound opinions. Thanks, Jim and Greg!
Seriously..this could be one of the greatest songs ever written.
Saw them last night at the Rock & Roll hotel in D.C...really, really talented, charasmatic and there connection with the crowd is authentic. Truely a class act that's only going to get better with time.
First time I've ever heard of someone requesting to be friendzoned
I wasn't saying it's a bad thing, I just love how they referenced the band that everyone's comparing them to, in their first music video, nice touch.
best song I've heard in a while, finally something to get excited about.
Love this band and so grateful they gave me a guitar pick
Love garage rock - I wonna be your best friend
Almost hits a million! This band has been growing so fast
Reminds of Johnossi the way the singer sings!😁
This sounds great. I'm glad I stumbled upon this from a Stone Roses video.
Where did you guys go ? I like you more than vampire weekend.
saw these live last night and they were so good
Eggsellent!
I love everything about this song! I wish I was in this video, just to be close to them.
Throw back to being 14 :,)
reminds me of early eighties english pop
The video looks like it was fun to film
Apparently Matty Healy wants to beat these guys up
indeed! "bunch of friggin pricks" he says x)
wait he really said that!
+Jayde Holbert. yehh, i really liked that recent NME interview. 😁😁
"Bunch of fucking pricks' 😂😂
rubbish
love it like multi colored magic dust!
Here for Matty Healy 😂
Paola Gutierrez bunch of fucking pricks 😂
so far iv seen them 3 times? seeing them again in april, then hopefully at reading haha they are insane!
Anyone else hear the Ramones?
These are gunna be so big! So many refreshing good bands coming out recently, especially Palma Violets and also Reporters. Their song "lamplight" is class!
Enjoyed seeing you guys at Tunbridge Wells Forum, That was a wild gig. Truly Wild.
These guys killed it at Splendour In The Grass 2015
Cheers lads for the most exhilarating gigs ever!
Can't wait for the new album....they better not let me down!!!!
Todos os anos eu venho escutar o album inteiro ❤
i could listen this again and again and again and again
Fun song! Great album too. Looking forward to when they play Chicago!
Can't wait for their album!
You guys kicked ass in reading. My favorite performance by a mile. Palma Violets + Jake Bugg are ones for the future.
Good night in Tunbridge Wells tonight, Really enjoyed it..could have been longer tho. Hope to see you guys again soon
Palma violets merece mas reconocimiento, su música es magnifica!
I really like this. Congrats on your making the Sound Of 2013 longlist!!!!
My journey to great music led me here.
Oh yeah !! 2021 and still rocks !!
I really hope this gets to at least 2 million views. I wish them the best. Just showed my support by buying their album 180.
