Bloc Party - The Prayer (Official Video)

[@GoneWithTheWinCom]

One of the most underrated and best Indie bands the UK has ever produced, I love so many Bloc Party songs, hope they keep coming back with such amazing songs.

[@takumi7931]

traps is an amazing song, they still have it after this time

[@Bawitdabadabangdadang]

Bloc Party were huge in the indie scene at the time! Unfortunately the UK music scene is now obsessed with pushing Stormzy and absolute garbage rap/grime music instead of genuinely creative stuff like this!

[@burnbobquist8999]

A weekend in the city was an extrodinary album. One of the best album of the 00s.

[@rianakanthi6752]

And its B side🔥

[@LaMorenitaDivina]

I’m a 40something woman in 2019 and you have no idea how often this song pops into my head as I try to bluff my way through life.

[@Ipray2g0d]

Im a man in 20s i thought i was only 1, way to rock✌!!

[@eldia-bros7665]

This speaks to me. I wish u the best

[@abdullaahiahmed8924]

You are not alone 😎

[@blackshuck1653]

I am right there with you.

[@JaxDagger]

saw them live like 20 years ago never forgot it, still listen to them almost daily

[@bwcat5586]

One of the best songs ever created.

[@ApolloClone]

I first heard this music video when it came out 9 years ago. i was 17. Didnt realize they were all on acid lol.

[@hinkel1980]

9 years??

[@hinkel1980]

13 years kid!!!!!

[@puffndanks6355]

🤯 you just fucked my mind

[@jameswillypiss6241]

acid? more likely ket and md

[@JaxDagger]

honestly heard them around the same age but when they first came around, they definitely seemed like the types to be heavily into ecstasy and at the time shrooms where still legal too in the UK

[@lauristonbrewster9097]

2:07 years and years later and this part still transfixes me.

[@nordathan]

I thought I was the only one!!!

[@ajdoyle9559]

@@nordathan Never really noticed it before but her dancing goes really well with the music.

[@framblesblog]

Penny-wise vibes

[@gohtwm]

the lady be like cha cha real smooth

[@WayneLewisRSP]

So funny, Just came here to see the identical moment. Has stuck with me for 20 years.

[@viz_2847]

My man!!! Ryan Cooper!!!!!!

[@naufoll]

Ah yes, a need for speed prostreet player

[@david_4739]

I remember hearing this in HMV in about 2007 and being blown away. I was too embarrassed to ask the assistants what it was(dunno why now!?) but I eventually tracked it down pretty damn quick and have loved it since. The video is just a bonus. Love the bad dancing and the setting. Reminds me of 80s parties in bad pubs. (great pubs)

[@AlexProud-ol7qm]

That’s so perfect, given what this song is about! Amazing haha

[@MrScrelli]

Timeless classic! I still get lost in the visual effects it just fits so well together with the music and the tone of his voice.

[@mygodmanm3008]

How good is this video. Way ahead of it's time. The band is also. Bloc party are as good as any band in the last 20 years

[@MyCamilla1989]

I was in the army when this came out. There was satellite tv in our cafeteria and one night my buddies and I were watching mtv Europe when this premiered and blew our minds. It was hard to go back to reality the next day hahaha

[@HeyChicagoWhattaSay]

Hope you and all your buddies are still alive and kicking and spinning Bloc Party. I found them the fall after I graduated college in 2005.

[@adamkeighley7435]

The chorus makes this song

[@ntsempty1209]

Something about the bass just makes it so good, I love this song so much.

[@spectranwolfinfusion]

Aye, but I don't think itd have the same impact if not for the tremming bass of the bridge leading into it

[@joaosousa5435]

My favourite song of bloc party :')

[@rockdoublard]

Used to dislike it. Now I think it's effing great !!!

[@jamestrickingtonIII]

The drummer always has the sickest button ups on. So sick. Dope fit, bro

[@newforestpixie5297]

I had a lot on my plate and had chemical assistance for business use when this was radio played in daytime - it would fill my head ( the tune) and I’d picture the narrative which was unusually direct ( for want of better ) in describing a common theme to us all I guess , But had never been put so brilliantly to suit 7” single time . Ten yrs later I’m watching this for first time and my druggie interpretation back then was exactly what the band meant after all - These fellas are as clever and original in style as Van Der Graff Generator were back in 1969. Genius stuff - hope they are being appreciated in 2019 and if their creative juices did dry up , the album serves as testament to real accessible but non mainstream music.

[@undefinedvariable8085]

1:15 Mesmerizing, the way she glides with grace.

[@LurkMoar101]

I love watching the different people dancing in this, It brings a smile to my face remembering when the video first came out on good old RAGE in Australia. Sidenote, the chick smiling at Mr Longface is cute as anything, seems I never did get over that old crush.

[@9290SC]

2020!! This beauty/classic

[@ccw5799]

2023 still here 🎉

[@tshegofatsontshegang8171]

That riff from 2:45, europhic!

[@gaz9005]

Everytime I hear this song it has an uplifting vibe one of my favourite songs from Bloc Party

[@HegelianMetaphysics]

I've heard *almost no bad Bloc Party songs, ever*

[@diagonals792]

A weekend in the city is a masterpiece

[@Artwork-king]

To this day, one of the best songs ever written.

[@laffinjake]

God I haven’t heard this in ages . Love it 😍

[@sshiok1518]

This is your reminder to listen to it again 😂💛

[@mygodmanm3008]

I'm with u. Just found it again and the synth has got me again..thank god

[@BryanBarrios-cb9wi]

I tought this was a bad song after listening to silent alarm hits for several years but i gave this song a second chance just to realise that this is gold

[@soldadoryanbr7776]

The pro street version (remixed by "does It offend you?yeah!) is way more energetic, that's why I love that version more

[@corpsenugget455]

My guy

[@MGSDude01]

Dang. Takes me back to NHL 2K8 as a teenager. Sat on my 360 on Friday and Saturday night hockey after school every weekend.

[@booman3138]

Pretty much the same

[@MrKarmapolice97]

This makes me miss my party days! The things is I didn’t know when to stop I needed more and more and more till it wasn’t fun anymore and I had to Stop

[@ruthdixon7807]

pounding drum loops, swirling synths and gnawing guitars. fantastic.

[@chongpooka2769]

First two Bloc Party albums some baller ass shit.

[@crossy28]

My 1st memory of this will always be discovering it on my friends MySpace page. Love this song so much

[@DavidEvans_dle]

I like this version of the song better than the original version. It's a great party song, were you don't have to dance, yet just enjoy the music while talking to the party goers.

[@mC-zo2mo]

Lyrics are incredible

[@cynicalrendering]

The Prayer is a battle hymn for us introverts: if you’ve ever trembled as you approach a girl you have a crush on then you’re not alone.

[@Marolinism]

This song 🎵 is timeless!! Love you bloc party!! … 🎧 Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle them with my wit Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle, I will outshine them all 🎵 🤟🏾😎❤️

[@rasikasilva5172]

Heard this on radio 1 back in 2005. The chorus was so impactful with the synth.

[@AMORAL32]

2019 AND STILL MY FAVORITE!

[@mikec.8604]

2023 soon and still one of my favorites of this genre

[@Bighomie420]

I remember listening to this before my football games to get me pumped up!!

[@FredericFreedom]

Should have at least million views. Song is amazing

[@paulcayrou4531]

I put 16 years to find this song in my head…. Thanks songcatcher

[@s5umm3rr]

underrated banger honestly

[@lebowski3748]

Still a banger. Still relevant.

[@qbed_kris]

Yesss

[@raccoonhatcity7627]

This song live is amazing

[@Ghosted676]

When I was younger this used to play quite regularly on MTV when they still used to stream alternative music and I remember this video really freaked me out lol the song is fire though

[@Silverman216]

This song hits, when you require alcohol or drugs to escape reality and let loose somewhere and feel invincible for a moment. TONIGHT MAKE ME UNSTOPPABLE! I feel that some nights boozed up lol

[@snoopbreezy]

One of the best songs and videos ever made

[@benrumble383]

Fair call it's RIGHT up there for sure!!!..

[@baliche]

Oh man high school!!

[@Boy10Dio]

you don't know how good this song is till you actually hear it.

[@loganarnold5932]

BLOC PARTY 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Very underrated such great original music

[@enderrafaelarrietanunez5849]

This song is holding pretty good and I love it . Always sounds fresh I love bloc party

[@dan2293]

BIG AWESOME SONG! Brings back memories of dropping acid and having to avoid all social circumstances. It was kind of acceptable to be awkward if you was off your head on something.

[@nodopamine6243]

This has aged extremely well.

[@osker450]

Kele is something else but bloc party will never be the same since they split

[@samsadeghi1748]

2018 this is still a tune 🤟🏻

[@tamathafevs]

every word of this song lays me bare kele. I hear you

[@kudelm]

remember back on uni, every single dancing week i had this before leaving house

[@asotm1858]

My god... This was so long ago already. Seems like yesterday.

[@mkaia47]

I used to like the remixes. But now im just in love with the original

[@lingonberry2524]

Matheus Caiaffa so I’m not the only one who is revisiting Bloc Party. Man I miss them so much. And my childhood

[@shashichamane1406]

Hats off to them the true LEGENG OF 2000s...

[@dp6921]

For so long my three songs when getting ready for a night out were this, The Rat by The Walkmen and Wolf Like Me by TV On The Radio. If you're not pumped for a night out by then you never will be.

[@KING-ri2vs]

Thanks for the suggestions ! 👍🏼

[@JustinY-h4n]

This song and Yeah love wolf like me too will have to check out The Rat I prolly know it but can't place it

[@UntergrundRadio]

Best des Tages ❤️ Dankeschön 😊

[@raphaferry1]

One of my favorites on Need for Speed ProStreet

[@HeyChicagoWhattaSay]

As an amateur stand up comedian, I play this song on repeat before I go on stage to help qualm my performance anxiety.

[@jamestrickingtonIII]

Do you ever sit in the club with your dudes, each of you wearing his tiniest jeans, and just chill and vibe off of each other?

[@kygodragon4782]

Marcus wtf thats funny 😂 I actually reckon there are a few who actually do that 😂😂😂

[@lauraharris5024]

Lmao

[@julesf3773]

I kind of died at 'tiniest jeans'

[@philtrysstrongman]

Takes me back to pro street damn it's 2023 where has the time gone

[@carlbobbitt6322]

Nhl 2k8 banger

[@BLOCPARTY420]

Silent Alarm, And A Weekend In The City is one of the best albums Bloc Party Has Ever Made!

[@mexicanmafiabossnamedpablo]

This really gives me Nevada highway vibes

[@Federico_415]

i love how bloc partys videos are artistic in a way, This such

[@athfemory]

i feel like this every time i go out

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Miss the days when this came out. Then again I miss the 80s when Michael Jackson was on top of the world.

[@schnaffty]

Always loved this tune, years ago in the wonder years 🙃

[@devo2920]

I love this hymn

[@josephoneill2957]

I would pay big money to see bloc party and the klaxxons perfom together

[@ivorycross4245]

listening to this b4 football games to get in the zone

[@RJIvens]

+Ivory Cross Same bro

[@hydrakchew4121]

[@sebastian_ghoxt]

this album is awesome, at the level of Silent Alarm, very underrated

[@TabiKekveshechka]

in nfs pro street this song as a remix on high speed races gave an incredible boost

[@shinkazama3959]

Amazing how little/few views this awesome song has, I guess not many people played Project Gotham Racing 4 'back in the day'.

[@robertsnyder651]

It was also in prostreet although the song in prostreet was a remix still a banger Prostreet is a game I look at with only fond memories

[@PossiblyJamesAlexander]

I did, love that game

[@LazyshowxD]

[@spockjenkins365]
