Coheed and Cambria - Goodnight Fair Lady

[@specialdark1991]

@1:17 as a drummer, I love a good dropout ❤ what a banger of a song.

[@fennecfanatic5566]

This is absolutely my favorite Coheed song. From the bass tone to the drums, to the jauntiness of the melody. It’s a near perfect song.

[@juney21]

​@bigqueef7352 imma be fan of them and I wanna go to there concert someday !

[@atonesb5251]

When I first got the album, this wasn't one of the songs I dwelled on. But years later, this is for sure the strongest track on Ascension.

[@Killa-B33]

Atone SB I loved it since album dropped

[@vtaycur]

this track is unbelievable

[@BadFoxtrot]

I like how artists and record companies seek to remove videos of their tracks from KZbin, but Coheed uploads an entire album. Favorite band ever!

[@lordofbits1533]

Doesn't coheed own their record company.

[@hermeticascetic]

​@@lordofbits1533yes

[@nhf1CoCa]

very rare to see bands post their albums on KZbin . This is a cool thing to do Coheed, now new fans can get a glimpse of how good you are!

[@user-ko5ul7yi1x]

I love it, it's like a combination of Faint of Hearts and The Suffering

[@Redletterstv]

Their whole album is on here and still bought it. Good band!

[@dalekay9ine]

Bass tone is perfect. Drums sound huge. Great recording

[@frzk]

Never disappointed listening to Coheed, great shit guys

[@jeffmorrow8640]

I've been a fan since they started I've never hated any of the albums and I really like this one especially the song "the hard sell"

[@Blackdoginsky]

Man, I've missed this.

[@Distant.horizons]

Six months after Sirius' supposed death, Meri went to a bar called the Fair Lady to drown her sorrows. Between losing her spouse and the guilt she feels over how her relationship with Sirius was entering a rough patch even before he left for the Keywork, Meri had quite a lot on her mind. When Meri arrives at the bar on her own, her presence immediately attracts the attention of a local lowlife named Dyer Grinlock. He immediately strikes up a conversation relating to her wedding ring, and wonders why any man would leave his beautiful wife to drink alone. This makes her feel uncomfortable, and that feeling only intensifies as the night goes on, culminating in Dyer slipping a "friend at the bottom" into one of her drinks: an illegal, tasteless, colorless sedative. Luckily for Meri, an undercover cop named Graves Colten saw the whole thing happen and arrested Dyer, saying that the police department had been trying to catch him for months. The officer gives Meri his card and asks her to stop by the station the next day to file a report. Eventually, Meri would fall in love with Colten, stamping out any glimmer of hope she had left that Sirius was still alive. However, Sirius was very much alive and still in the Keywork, journeying deeper and deeper into it, and getting the attention of many of the entities that populate it...

[@yuri0001]

I cant see your comments on domino, afterman and mothers of men.

[@MamaAndie]

LOVE this song. and Love how creepy it really is.

[@MissEwe]

2:10 🎤 i know Ewe will 🔥🔥🎶🎶

[@kvuo]

underrated coheed

[@gmanlindy1885]

Me: setting up windows 98 and listening to metal. My last 2 brain cells: lul listen to coheed.

[@VarynDEE33t]

I'm a sucker for catchy songs. Found oneeeeee

[@mrXTremblay]

This song should have been a single!

[@TheRabbit42]

Oh my god, you are absolutely right. I've been trying to figure out why the style of that main riff sounds so... familiar.

[@NeverDeadChaos]

quite possibly my favourite song of Coheed's :D

[@killerkoala60]

this song reminds me of the verse in ten speed and faint of hearts.

man, since the first time i heard this sounds like thin lizzy... great

[@stevencook420]

Oh yes I concur..got my Phil lynott groove going

[@Mathrin2302]

One of the best songs Coheed have done in a long while. Amazing on posting the whole album to youtube!

[@ovinophile]

Their sound definitely evolved with Year of the Black Rainbow, but this one is like a return to the Good Apollo era. I like it!

[@thelastremnantofevil]

100% of the music ive bought in the last 4-5 years i heard on youtube first, I'd say they are smart.

[@TheGreatAustino]

Jackpot!

[@verycaring2387]

Thin Lizzy RIFFS FER SUUUUURE! 👍

[@carminescurse]

God grants you one wish To turn back the time Correct and create Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are shooting stars I could really use a wish right now

[@MediaHell]

wa wa we wow

[@MultiBWin]

[@TheGhostskunk]

Finding out what this song's about is crazy. "Let's get crazy, I'll make my pass The drink turns over, the glass smashed And with a kindness and my smarts I replaced your pleasure With a friend at the bottom"

[@bengillin4896]

Definitely getting Thin Lizzy vibes, love it

[@NicotineAndCaffeine]

Not even ten seconds into it I knew I liked it x3

[@SraeSirena]

This song makes me wanna dance 🤘

[@erikskidmore8355]

That riff at 2:09 to me screams Brian May

[@usaflagraybans]

+Erik Skidmore I actually felt this song had a really Thin Lizzy type of vibe. Even that riff sounds like the dual guitar thing that band did.

[@juney21]

Yessss !!! Thin lizzy !!

[@JCVC1986454]

I have a 1988 300zx ... it's nickname is the "Fairlady" Z.... LOL I LOVE THIS SONG. makes me think of my car :p

[@OMGitsDSypl]

So either this song or Holly Wood The Cracked needs a music video next O_O

[@Vordb666]

Sumerian Records posts pretty much all of their music on KZbin. So does Prophecy Productions.

[@peachdonut3682]

My friend sang this for the galant show... :3

[@peachdonut463]

PeachDonut talent lol

[@peachdonut463]

PeachDonut lol dang it's my old account

[@user-ri9rx]

Did that really just happen

[@jessea4438]

I got the CD today. For whatever reason, my CD player skipped this track and went straight into KEE II: Holly Wood the Cracked

[@StellaWasADiver_33]

Aww man I hope your CD player is working now

[@BrendonWilliams]

I just thought out the "glass smashed", "friend at the bottom" part O.o

[@patrickrhoades947]

Claudio stated it was written from the perspective of a rapist at a bar in Broadway style. influence by a creepy guy at a restaurant that he played out singing this like a Broadway musical.

[@threekeysmusic]

Patrick Rhoades Claudio going on one of tipsy daydreams, always laughed when he sat there during the interview and laughs and says “I wasn’t THAT drunk.”

[@wildbillslunksauce7621]

This is basically a thin lizzy song lol LOVE IT!

[@Blake-ub4ts]

You think so? Because I didn’t think the chorus sounded anything like the cowboy song.. like, at all.

[@killerkoala60]

do you have wallmarts in iceland?

[@dinatate]

This is the fucking bomb! So great.

[@stevencook420]

I love the thin Izzy sound.

[@EatMyVennem]

Yes, but it pertains to the actual written story behind The Afterman.

[@ajstrauss55]

Never thought one of my all time favorite songs would be about attempted date rape, but.......he we are.

[@augustbaothlynott7263]

Its very Thin Lizzy sounding.

[@nukichu_u]

Reminds me of thin lizzy

[@DavySigfusson]

Yeah, I'm still reluctant and I won't buy it until i'm perfectly sure that's the case :D

[@OMGitsDSypl]

I seriously want there to be a music video of this T_T!!! It would be so damn perfect for an attempted date rape to explode into a musical number like Claudio intended!!! Seriously, this is like my second or third favorite song of all time!!

[@Lazzie_the_Psilocybe_Deity]

OMGitsDSypl sang this in a school talent show without realizing what it was about 😁

[@dinatate]

Yeah I just watched “inside ...” and it is kinda.

[@DavySigfusson]

I would buy it through ether amazon or Itunes if those fuckers would only sell it to me here in iceland.

[@killerkoala60]

thats rough, buddy. but, look on the bright side. once the ps4 comes out, you wont have to worry about that playstation network thing.

[@ReeceWarburton]

this particular "friend" being rohypnol.

[@iheartdbeat1235]

Thin Lizzy

[@tbeck93]

Could be a new Sonic game track :D

[@livi42]

Yea i thought so too :-)

[@coatheli9663]

Such a great song..... It's about date rape, by the way.

[@ajstrauss55]

*attempted date rape

[@ValiantKnight7983]

ROOFIES

[@MissEwe]

* sheepish *

[@olafthebard]

isn't this song about date rape?

[@dhatfield8411]

Yes. It's basically told from the perspective of a date-rapist eyeing the main character's "widowed" wife in a bar. In the story, the rapist gets close enough to put something in her drink but a police officer (her future love interest) stops her before it's too late.

[@pathologicaldoubt]

Everyone citing Thin Lizzy because the tail end of the riff doubles in thirds. Thin Lizzy didn't come up with that

[@FOURfabrication]

The lyrics and way they're harmonized is like something Lynott would have written too

[@villamuremusic]

Also, "turn me over, roll me round" is an obvious reference to Cowboy Song's chorus, "Roll me over and turn me around". This song drips with TL tribute.
